Don't recall Predator getting much traction when it was originally requested a while back (indeed, I'd forgotten that it had been), but obviously the release of yet another sequel* made y'all a lot more interested. It fairly walloped the relatively little-seen We're All Going to the World's Fair, 62% to 38%. There are a bunch of beloved '80s films that I saw in theatrical release, didn't much care for, and haven't thought about or felt any particular urge to revisit since; Top Gun is one of them (which is why I still haven't gotten to Maverick, though I will eventually), and Predator is another. Think I was underwhelmed by the whole concept, but it's been 35 fucking years somehow and I don't really remember. (My indifference didn't stop me, in those days, from heading out to Predator 2, about which I remember literally nothing except that Schwarzenegger's not in it.) I will now investigate and file a report. Streaming on Hulu.
* Which I currently have no plans to see, based on okay-at-best reviews, though I'll watch the first 10 minutes and see whether it grabs me (as I do with pretty much every film that's not universally ignored or despised).
