Odd Movie Combinations

I saw a couple movies in my Netflix New Releases feed that made me laugh today…

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood OrchidAnaconda plus Adaptation? It’s actually a sequel to Anaconda, has gotten worse reviews than the original (which is amusing, as I hated the original), and I’m sure it has absolutely nothing to do with Adaptation, but the idea of trying to combine the two amuses me.

Alien SpeciesAlien plus Species? Aside from both being sci-fi/horror films featuring creatures conceived by H.R. Geiger, they’re not really that similar, and this just looks like a generic sci-fi flick. The cover image (here it is on Netflix, Amazon apparently doesn’t have one) even looks like they’re ripping off the martian attack machines from the old film version of War of the Worlds.

Some days it really seems like we’ve run out of original ideas.

  1. (laughs) All we need now is an “Alien Species Terminator”, and we’ll be set!

  2. Have you checked out this funny, snide and offbeat online comic strip: “http://bhou.addr.com/” - it’s entitled “Alien Loves Predator” and features Alien and Predator living in a Manhattan apartment and all that “is” about New York.

  3. I’d seen links to ALP before, but hadn’t checked it out yet. Now it’s in my RSS reader — thanks for the recommendation!
