Predator

1987 science fiction action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
==First watch (teenage years)==
Probably at home with Matthew, around the time I first watched Die Hard. I remember liking it.
==Second watch (2000s/2010s)==
I have a feeling I watched it again at some point, because I remember enjoying the main characters even though they're just stupidly macho men, like they still had character and it was sort of tongue-in-cheek, and I just enjoyed it. And then watching this original appearance of the predator again having seen a lot more films and games featuring it, I was struck that really we know basically nothing about the species as a whole from this. I liked to imagine that the predator in Predator was an outcast or a psychopath, or at the least we had examples of humans in this film who hardly represent the average human, let alone capture the entire human society. Who's to say that there aren't predator chavs and aboriginals and business men and whatever else, to go with the Arnold Schwarzenegger predator from this film?
==Third watch (29th May 2015)==
===Format===
Bluray at Luke's, with Luke and Jon.

Luke suggested it, it was the first time he'd seen it. We'd watched Alien 3 together recently, now that he's 16 he seems to be making his way through these classics. He watched Akira the week before, too.
It was good, we had a laugh watching it. Watching it with Luke it seemed noticeable how slow it actually was. Bit like Jaws and Alien I guess, the tense build up, not much actual action with the monster, until the final fight.
