Ask Steve Perry

[Mr. Domino]

Two.

That SM guy is a tool though.

Hey, I never said I respected you. I just said I respected you more than Griker.

[SM]

THAT's a relief.

[War Wager]

Steve, did you ever read the script for Predators? What did you think?

[Corporal Hicks]

It's on the forums if you're interested.

Exactly - it is here (the first post in this thread):

I also would like to know your opinion about this script. It aroused much controversy in this community.

You know, thats a good question..

How does the Yautja concept fit with Super Predators? Would you say that this is a renegade clan or, rather like the Hish concept, an alternate universe?

It's a good script. I think the alternate Dutch ending is a little too cute, but whoever wrote it did a nice job. It's close to the first movie, which was itself just an updated versions of "The Most Dangerous Game," with ETs. If they shoot it right, it could be a good action picture.

The super-pred business makes sense in the context, but I'd lose the hellhounds and birds, they aren't necessary.

Off topic here, but my two cents worth:

Go see Avatar

You have never, ever seen anything like this on a screen. Yeah, it's Dances With Wolves in space. And, just like in Bambi, I was rooting against the white men, but it will melt your eyes and blow your sensawunda out of your ears. Every penny Cameron spent is up on the screen and it is mind-bogglng. Truly.

[Mr. Domino]

Well, you know I was kinda on the fence about the whole thing ( ), but I suppose if Steve Perry is telling me to see it, then I guess I should...

Hearing that he liked it rather surprises me, seeing as he is the man who invented the Yautja concept which I love.

Hmm... Gives me much to think about but I do agree with the idea of the hounds and hawks, they are not needed.

I just hope that this is just one clan and not the entire race. That would suck if it was the entire Predator race doing this new thing.

Actually, I was talking about Avatar, but I was also a little surprised that he liked the Predators script. Not too surprised, though, since I thought it was pretty decent. I just really hope they change the color of the blood. I know its a little thing, but it bugs the hell out of me.

Ditto.. Ditto.

This is very true and worth the admission.

Unfortunately, we have heard it all before.

[Kimarhi]

I'd have actually preferred more of the scriptment injected into the actual movie Avatar, but it was good enough on its own.

Avatar Was, in my opinion, the best film this year.

But on topic, I recently picked up your Alien books Mr. Perry and I have a few questions.

1. When you did the part with the Space Jockey, where did you come up with the physical description? I  understand that alot can be learned from it's short appearance in Alien, but what you did made the Space Jockey much more.

2. The sequence about Billie's parents and their encounter with the Aliens on Rim. Is this supposed to be LV-426? I'm confused because their encounter is supposed to come after the LV-426 incident but it's almost the exact same scenario.
