So uh... Anyone else see AVP?

[navi]

Just went to go see the premiere and it was actually pretty good a lot better then other Versus movies (aka Freddy Vs. Jason)

had a fairly decent story right ammount of suspense and of course violence
Definately a Cult Classic


what's everyone else's thoughts?

[melancholy]

My thought is for you not to use acronyms in thread titles. What is AVP?

[Egotistical EvilN]

alien vs predator

My thought is for you not to use acronyms in thread titles. What is AVP?

ac?ro?nym Pronunciation Key (kr-nm)
n.

A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as radar for radio detecting and ranging.

AVP isn't a word, so it's an abbreviation.

That dictionary's example sucks. I mean, what the hell is a WAC? Because it's certainly not a word either.

[arrowhead]

thats the point. It is a new word formed by the first letters of a bunch of words. WAC's were the womans army corps during WWII, they were not called W-A-C's, they were wacs.

Or if you like you could use RAM, Random Access Memory.

But you can pronounce it. So uh...yeah. Here's a better one:

Main Entry: ac?ro?nym
Pronunciation: 'a-kr&-"nim
Function: noun
Etymology: acr- + -onym
: a word (as NATO, radar, or snafu) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term; also : an abbreviation (as FBI) formed from initial letters : INITIALISM

[navi]

Actually.... the title of the movie is AVP the subtitle is Alien Vs. Predator so technically i am correct

[arrowhead]

when you say it though, you are saying A-V-P, not avp. In order for it to be an acronym, you have to actually say avp.

Ah, but see, Webster says that an acronym is "an abbreviation formed from initial letters," and you said, "AVP isn't a word, so it's an abbreviation." And FBI (the example Webster gives) isn't spoken like a word (I'd love to hear how someone would pronounce FBI). So me saying AVP is an acronym is correct.

Just went to go see the premiere and it was actually pretty good a lot better then other Versus movies (aka Freddy Vs. Jason)

had a fairly decent story right ammount of suspense and of course violence
Definately a Cult Classic


what's everyone else's thoughts?

um no freddy vs jason was great..


alien vs predator crap.. they still didnt finish editing til this week.


also the had little gore in it. they made predator a complete pussy


catwoman owned compared to AVP

actually i just seen catwoman for the bad cheese factor plus halle but that all i knew was gonna be bad, but still not as bad as avp was, worst movie of this year that i've seen.


still resident evil 2 will top this ot equal it in being crap. but will never and i mean never ever top house of the dead movie, wait sorry, a movie will.. alone in the dark, it just might, because being filmed by same director that did house of the dead


actually alien vs predator was sorta good in early part then got worse and worse fast

Cult classic is thrown around to much. A movie that has been viewable for 24 hours can't have a cult following.

True... but remember both franchise's already have a following to them. so as a result. Whether a fan of the Alien, Predator, or Both it does fit into the already existing Following and as such ahem a cult classic.

this isn't just a normal movie people have been waiting for this movie since at least '96.

They've been waiting since 1990, the year of Predator 2's release. And anyway, the Alien series and Predator series don't have a cult following. They have a regular following.

Just got home from it an hour ago...
I liked it...

although some parts were REALLY REALLY cheesy...

Cash-grab, but at least it had some effort in it.

I'd watch it again.

[weeperofsouls]

is it me, or are movies generally getting crappier and crappier?

[SinTex]

is it me, or are movies generally getting crappier and crappier?

Agreed

[JuddWack]

I want to know who won. I have no desire to see the movie but I put my money on Predator. My little bro saw it and he tried describing to me. It sounds like he didn't understand the ending right, or they left it open like Freddy VS Jason for a sequel.

Send me a private message if you want.
