Yes, it has come to fruition-- there will be a new Predator movie due sometime in the summer of 2010, however it will be produced by Robert Rodriguez, director of the Spy Kids trilogy and directed by Nimrod Antal, with the script having been originally written by Rodriguez and revised by Alex Litvak and Michael Finch. You would think that I would come to appriciate this new film considering that I am a Predator fan but to be quite honest, I actually DREAD it. I was hoping that Twentieth Century Fox would not go through with this at all, and as I fan I was hoping that this day would not come at all. I have a feeling that like Joel Schumacher, who has ruined the Burton-Schumacher Batman films, Robert Rodriguez is going to kill the Predator franchise.

Sometime around 2003 or early 2004, while I used to frequent David Shipley's PlanetAvP.com website, I found a link which lead to the rough draft of Robert Rodriguez's PREDATORS script. Never before have I read anything so terrible, and this script was almost comparable to The Dark Ranger's Agony in Pink rape-snuff fanfic. Yeah, it's definately that bad. Robert Rodriguez's script completely ignores what has been established in Predator 2 (he wrote the script in 1996, way before the AvP movies came out) and possibly even retcons it. His script idea basically involved Dutch Schaefer (Arnold's character from the first Predator) and a group of rag-tag Marines heading off into the Predator homeworld, only to be forced to participate into slavery, human-technology trading, fighting in a gladiator arena and have among them a human snitch to the Predators. The Predator characters are written out of character entire, the Yautja concept has been thrown away entirely, the honor concept is gone out the window in favor for Rodriguez's vision. Don't believe me? I have the script linked in PDF format. Bare in mind that this is the first draft and not the final script, BUT it has been confirmed that they are using the basic idea for the new Predator film.

If Twentieth Century Fox wanted to kill the Predator franchise, they might as well have hired Uwe Boll to do the entire movie right from the start. Seriously, the script idea is just absoloutely horrible, it not only gets rid of the Yautja concept and the honor concept which has been entirely introduced in Predator 2, but it also implies that the Predator race cannot even develope it's own technology and has to trade with other alien species to do it. Lame idea, bad idea as well. Not only that we are introduced to some of the lamest alien species ever-- Cockroachmen. Yeah... Cockroach Men. Oh and think THATS bad? Go to page 109 and read there-- PISSING PREDATORS! Yeah, a group of group of Predators gather around a character named Wilson and PISS on him.

Robert Rodriguez, what were thinking, smoking or eating when you had written this piece of shit? Either you had a severe case of Montezuma's Revenge after drinking some bad water, or you were smoking something so potent, or you are just so conceited that you fail to see your own faults in your script? I have already linked the script to AvPGalaxy's forums and with each bit of news that has been coming up from interviews with Rodriguez, fans have been reacting IMMENSELY negative towards the man's ideas. You might as well have three running cotinuities now, considering that an executive at Fox has said and I quote: "This film is to go back to the Predator franchise, and to wash our hands from the AvP films."

....What was wrong with the Alien vs. Predator films?! I thought they were good. I mean they perfectly had fit in with the Predator films and the Alien films. There was little to nothing wrong with the AvP films if you ask me. Has Twentieth Century Fox lost their minds?! They go onto say that they're outright ignoring the AvP films in favor for Rodriguez's shitty concept?! Kevin Peter Hall and Stan Winston must be rolling in their graves right now! It's already been confirmed by Twentieth Century Fox, there are officially THREE different cotinuities now instead of one united cotinuity.

As a Predator fan, I do not like the idea of this new Predator film being directed by Nimrod Antal and Robert Rodriguez. I refuse to acknowledge this film. Seriously, Rodriguez, you should stick to doing Desperado films or those shit Spy-Kids movies you like to make. I know, I know-- not too much has been revealed about the film script being re-written, what has been omitted and added but I can tell you that without an entire script re-write, this movie is doomed to failure. And the fact that Rodriguez says that it's a direct sequel to the original Predator (meaning it ignores Predator 2), insures that the man is possibly conceited and asanine or smoking something, and his vision is doomed to fail. The fans have already expressed their dismay, and the fact that Twentieth Century Fox is still trying to force feed us by saying "THIS IS GONNA BE A COOL MOVIE!" already spells it's demise.

I've lost almost all faith in cinema. I've lost respect for Twentieth Century Fox. Robert Rodriguez shouldn't have touched the Predator franchise with his ideas. And as a fan, I am immensely disappointed.

Screw you Robert Rodriguez. Screw you Twentieth Century Fox. Thank you both for killing my childhood. You guys might as well succeed in doing what Schumacher did to Batman to the Predator franchise. But I know as a fan, I'm not going to accept this shit.

Crazy to hear, right? I mean how could anyone eventually get sick of staying at home-- well, apparently somehow it has happened to me and I can explain why. I've been at home since my time at the Halloween Adventure retail store was terminatated due to the fact that the store was seasonal and only comes once a year for two months. So this means I have two months of employment and nothing else for the next ten months to do. And considering the state of the economy is in now, it is extremely hard to find jobs. Especially retail jobs here at New Jersey, it's also especially harder for a person who doesn't know how to drive yet. So this means I'm going to have to look at places which are in twenty to thirty minutes walking distance of home-- and even that is hard. I've tried the mall, I've tried Pier One, Genaurdi's Grocery, Barnes and Noble, Boarders, Bed Bath and Beyond, Aveda Fragerances, Chick-Fil-A ,etc, etc, so on and so forth...

I haven't gotten any calls since then. So something has to give because all this time, I'm getting quite pissed off on my end at the fact that I'm not being given a shot. I'm sick of being at home all the time, and I love my home-- it's where I feel comfortable and safe. Hence the term, HOME. So I talk to my friend Nate about it and he says I've developed a light case of cabin fever. Right now, I am looking this up:

Quotation from Wikipedia:

Cabin fever is an idiomatic term for a claustrophobic reaction that takes place when a person or group is isolated and/or shut in, for an extended period. Symptoms include restlessness, irritability, forgetfulness, laughter, and excessive sleeping. Cabin fever can also be known as a term for a lack of sexual intercourse. The phrase is also used humorously to indicate simple boredom from being home alone. The term was first recorded in 1918.


I am experiencing some restlessness, irritability, and excessive sleeping. All this from being bored at home while alone. A majority of my day while being unemployed or going to school does consist of me sitting infront of a computer screen, checking on EarthNOW, seeing youtube clips and checking out my email as well as posting on ElectricFerret.com and posting up matches. Doing that for months gets repeatative and boring-- it's a wonder that I haven't gone crazy with self-laughter. I want to talk to people. I want to experience new things in my days rather than the same-old, same-old.

I WANT TO WORK, DAMN IT. MAKE MYSELF SOME DAMN MONEY!

So on another note, I decided to bring Ed to EarthNOW since I figured that it had been a while since he and I roleplayed, not to mention it would add some variety to the chatroom than seeing the same, brightly colored, anime/video game characters. I mean no offense but anime images are over-used, so seeing some westernized art of a Marvel character was rather quite nice. However there has been controversy about me bringing in characters from Marvel and perhaps, DC, as well-- the anime people are very mixed about it, but hey-- it's a free chatroom, right?

Also, on another note-- I am very paranoid about my computer right now. I get the feeling that SOMETHING is consuming my hard-drive space each time I spent considerable amount of time being online on my new Emachines Windows Vista. Now, I know it's not Spyware, Adware, Trojan or Virus because if it were such a case-- my McAfee virus scanner would've picked it up and quarentined it. So... it's something else... What could it be?

I mean I bought this computer at 4/30/2009 and it's 5/18/2009... And it has over 288 GBs space capacity..

So... I went from having 288 Gbs to 235 GBs in a few weeks... Should I be worried?

I'm also trying to figure out how to shorten the compression time for unused files.

Ah.... well, that should be just about it... Normal rantings and ramblings on my end.

After almost an entire week of being offline, I must say that it is definately good to be back, you know? I mean I had suffered a virus all thanks to DeviantArt's advertising servers and I had gotten repeatitive virus attacks from their rogue advertisers-- which had in turn, implanted Trojans such as FakeAlert-SpywareProtect and Artemis strain trojans. So if you do get FakeAlert-SpywareProtect as well as the Artemis strain trojans which will attempt to hack through by getting into your temp files, blame the rogue advertisers on Deviantart.

DA Administrators-- all I can say is this... Shape up. It's your job to look over for these things!

Because of this event, I WILL NOT be on DA as often.

So because my old Emachines, which had been running for five years straight and strong, finally died on due to FakeAlert-SpywareProtect and the Artemis strains trojans, I had to go out and get a new Emachines computer at Best Buy and even reinstall everything I had on it onto the new CPU. Thankfully, I was able to save my MUGEN files and my pictures by transfering them onto a jump drive before the old machine finally became defunct. So with this new machine, I feel as if I have to be more careful with the internet more than ever since viruses, malware, spyware and trojans are becoming more and more sophisticated with each and every day and it's bad enough that Anti-Virus companies are having a hard time in keeping up with updating for the online threats that attempt to gain personal information and what not. So if there is any Anti-Spyware software which works well with McAfee and doesn't cause conflict, let me know-- I mean, I've used Webroot before, so I may give that a shot.

I have been keeping up with things over at EarthNow, the chatroom which I had founded alongside with Morwyn and Marcus, so I know the downlow and have been updated on a few things as well. Nate has been talking to me more and more, which I find cool because I normally don't have alot of people to talk to, seeing that my friends from high school have went to college and out of state to start their own lives.

Speaking of starting out life, I think I have come to the idea of becoming a veteranarian technician, you know handling the animals and the equipment for the doctors to prepare for checking out dogs, cats, etc. I was given the idea to become one by my dentist, Dr. Cardon and I think that it would be something I would enjoy. I hear the benefits are great, pay is good and everything. I figure it would be enough to help me start out my own life, get the things that I want and need and even help my Mom out in keeping the house. The training to be a Vet-Tech would be eight months at the most. It's something I could definately handle. Mom has been working very hard, to the point where she can no longer stay awake and I feel as if I NEED to step up and help her out-- but finding employment is harder to find now because of the economy being shitty and nothing has been done to improve it yet. So in the meantime, my Mom now has a second job, part-time, working at Victoria's Secret at the mall. So lets just hope that this works out...

I also have been aware of the things which have been said about me via my friends, who say that Joseph Cain has been bad mouthing me, namely about the way on how I play my Yautja (Predator) characters right according to canon material. Apparently, we all know that this guy hates American comics, movies and prefers his own original material. Well, I'll let that little snow-flake think what he wants, I don't give a fuck on what he thinks on me or my characters. I'm not afraid of him, because I know I have alot of people who got my back.

I've also taken an interest in a new television sitcom known as Deadliest Warrior, which is featured on Spike-TV and comes on 10:00 PM Tuesday every week. So far their fights have been awesome, with Apache vs Gladiator, Samurai vs Viking, Ninja vs Spartan, and Pirate vs Knight. This week is going to be the Mafia vs the Yakuza, and knowing that this one is a gun fight, I'm not necessarily interested in gun fights. Fists and blades are where it's at, for me at least anyways.

Well, I suppose thats all I wanted to say. Nan'de Than Guan, people!

In Russia, Computer Virus kill You!!

Thank you Yakov fucking Smirnoff! So today, I get online to see whats new with EarthNow, the new chatroom which Marcus, Morwyn and I founded after having done the exodus from NKCC, otherwise known as New Knothole City Chat, and then I also decide to check out DA to see what is brewing-- to see if there has been new art posted and what not, the whole shebang, y'know? So then, I get a surprise today around 1:00 PM while surfing DA. You know, websites can be hacked into and have viruses planted in them, people do this shit all the time, so it's reasonable to assume this kind of thing, right? So anyway, my McAfee Virus scanner starts up and warns me that this Russian Anti-Spyware/Virus program is trying to gain access to my computer, and I tell my Anti-Virus software to deny it access and keep it out. SOMEHOW-- this program sneaks in and begins telling me that my computer is infected with over thirty four different viruses, which are not even listed in McAfee because they are either bogus or just do not exist in McAfee's virus library yet. So I do an extensive scan in my hard drive and my computer finds this suspicious file called "FakeTrojan-Protect" and I tell it to send it to McAfee's virus library and remove it. So for several more hours, I go far and above to make sure that this virus is not in my computer. And when you think it's all over, something very, very horrifying happens.

My computer reboots by itself. No command to reboot. Programs are slow. McAfee is almost unresponsive. Yeah, something definately killed my computer. While it's functional for fourty five minutes, it then reboots and become unresponsive.

In this time of ecnomonic crisis. In this time of possible retirement from roleplaying. In this time of absoloute strife, my computer, officially... decides to crap out on me and die.

No. No. No no no no no...I do not need this crap right now. Not at all! There is simply no fucking way I can afford a new CPU right now, just no fucking way at all! It's not fair. I've downloaded too much artwork in my collection, too much MUGEN files to lose a complete game, and alot of music I searched so hard and long to keep in it!

I'm so getting an external drive and hopefully, none of my multimedia files are affected by this virus. I mean this virus headed straight into my System32 file and attached itself in there.. So if it has affected everything... well... fuck.. I guess that means I have to start all over again, huh?

On other news, my Mom got a second job to help keep us on our feet... And on the brightside... Well... at least the electric bill won't be as high.

I'll be checking things out from Time to time.. Emails, orders...

See you around...
