	YouTube: A For-Real Dancing Predator 1 Comments Other News | 12/10/2006 | 4:19 PST - David Shipley Remember Mark English, the "Dancing Predator" guy? Looks like he's caught some competition in the form of a dancing CGI Predator. I watched the video on YouTube. It rocked. This Predator's got skills. Thanks to miniman for the tip. Update: Damn, this guy's putting his skills to use! Check out this personals ad I found in the paper: "DANCIN' PREDATOR Woman, hear me roar. Dancing sexpert on the hunt for new momma. Click-bang game, baby. Call me: 181384381959. Uh-huh!"
	AvP2 Movie Forum Comment! PlanetAvP News | 12/10/2006 | 4:14 PST - David Shipley Hey, about time. Check out our Alien vs. Predator 2 the Movie Forum and discuss the latest news and happenings on this upcoming sequel. ...First post.
	Rasirez's Map Site Comment! Other News | 12/10/2006 | 4:11 PST - David Shipley Rasirez wants us to know about his map site. I checked it out--it's got some cool maps and nice tutorials and stuff. It's great. Only problem? I can't figure out if it's an AvP2 site or a Half-Life 2 site. Rasirez, what's your problem? Make up your mind, man! It's only because there's a slight edge to AvP2 on your site; I'm giving it a pass and urging map-lovers to go there.

	Filming for AvP2 Movie All Wrapped Up 4 Comments Movie News | 12/9/2006 | 16:23 PST - David Shipley Filming for AvP2 the movie ended yesterday on December 8th. So what does this mean? It means the fun's just started; editing begins this week. "We're back in LA now, and editing begins this week," Colin Strause said in response to a forum post by leprechaun62689 on the Internet Movie Database forum (reportedly Colin Strause--pretty much confirmed he's posted there a few times). Once they finish editing, Fox might come out with photos, interviews, even trailers. Which would be just awesome, man. Thanks to our movie guy Gareth for the news/tips. Few weeks ago, when GameSpy/IGN asked Fox when Planet AvP can get some of that love -- we're all owned by Fox Interactive Media -- they said AvP2 wasn't even assigned to a publicist yet. Hopefully, things'll start to look up in the near future.
	Weird Alien Images: Back-Scratcher, Open-Top Head... Comment! Other News | 12/9/2006 | 15:23 PST - David Shipley Hey, an anonymous fan mailed these weird Alien images over; he won't tell me where he got them. Which usually means porn site. Haha! But it's all good; I won't tell. Agree, the Alien would make an excellent back-scratcher (hopefully, ribbed for my pleasure). Note: You don't really think Giger uses this to scratch his back, do you? Right!
	Alien Film Voted #13 'Movie Franchise of All Time' Comment! Movie News | 12/9/2006 | 15:22 PST - David Shipley IGN, or as I call them, mommy, added number thirteen to their Top 25 Movie Franchises of All Time list. Isn't that something? Yeah, especially when 'thirteen' is Alien. Uh-huh! "Attention, earthlings! IGN Movies has taken it upon itself to rank the 'Top 25 Movie Franchises of All Time.' We will count down from No. 25 to No. 1 each day for the next 25 days..." That sounds cool. Throw me some chips--I'll read it. Thanks, Jordan. Note: If IGN is 'mommy,' who the hell is GameSpy? "David Has Two Mommies."
	Bob & Progg's World Returns! 3 Comments PlanetAvP News | 12/9/2006 | 5:04 PST - David Shipley Bob & Progg's World Bob - Who's Yo' Daddy? - SiL, Chris Beaver Commander Dick N. Charge - That Bug is Not My Friend - The Oracle, Chris Beaver Progg - Progg Trek III: The Search for Bob - Shoot Me I'm Dumb, Chris Beaver Yeah, I remember Bob & Progg. It was awesome. It put together an Alien and a Predator whose adventures were just absolutely nutso! It was genius. I couldn't wait for the next issue. Now Commander Dick N. Charge wants to get in on the act. I asked if I could join their Cool Club, y'know, 'cause that'd be just awesome. I even have a guy all worked out. See, he goes to Tibet for a couple years with the dude from the Darkman and becomes a crazy, batsh** ninja! Too bad Bruce Bat was rejected. Well, they can go screw themselves. I'm still awesome. And I'm reading their B&P issue.

	Photos of Dave and Pseudo Hero 18 Comments PlanetAvP News | 12/8/2006 | 4:49 PST - David Shipley So yeah, I got a digital camera and thought I'd show it off. All right with you guys? Staff guy Pseudo Hero thought he'd chip in, too: Wearing what could possibly be the gayest T-shirt of all time (hey, they sell it cheap here) is yours truly. That thing I call a friend is Pseudo Hero, otherwise known as "just another abused member of Planet AvP's under-appreciated posse." Pseudo Hero: "Just buy me a taco, maybe a burrito. Hey, would you happen to have a cigarette?" He really wanted to quote his cousin Cheech and say, "If this is torture, chain me to the wall!" But he's offline. And it's late. And I'm out of time.
	ALP Web Comic: Fire Still Going Comment! Other News | 12/8/2006 | 18:11 PST - David Shipley New Alien Loves Predator Web comic's up. In this episode, the fire's still raging: ALP's capacity for weirdness knows no bounds - so check it out!
	AvP: Dead End Fan Film Complete 2 Comments Other News | 12/8/2006 | 4:46 PST - David Shipley Couple trailers for this thing came out last week. Now the full thirty-four-minute movie's up - Alien vs. Predator: Dead End. Man, it should be Alien vs. Predator vs. HALO Dude, 'cause he's in it. But they didn't ask me when they made the movie, did they? Watch the film. Nice job, Sandeep Dhanjal.
	Monolith: Up to Fox for AvP3 Game 1 Comments Game News | 12/8/2006 | 4:43 PST - David Shipley This is not really news, I guess, but it gets interesting. With two online petitions up (one and two) to get Monolith to make the next AvP3 game, the pressure's on for some kind of response. But Monolith says they don't even have the license to make the game, anymore. So stop asking. Monolith Productions: "Thank you for your suggestions. We are happy you enjoyed AVP2. Fox is the license holder for this property and it would be up to them whether additional sequels are created." That was a response to an E-mail Israeli AvP fan Abyss sent in. He even showed me a screenshot. Thanks, buddy. Note: Really, Abyss? Aww, I had no idea Borat was speaking Hebrew the whole time, man. That's funny as hell. Jagshemash, baby! ...Sorry, the drugs kicked in.

	'Voodoo Too' Predator Music Video Comment! Other News | 12/7/2006 | 17:53 PST - David Shipley This ElderPredator guy likes his Predator music videos--he's made more than a dozen. Now he's out with Predator Music Video: Voodoo Too, which borrows shamelessly from that hard-living front man of rock, Godsmack. There's some slick editing involved here, guys. I call it scary voodoo sh*t; I can't deny he's got talent. Watch the video. Thanks to miniman for the tip.
	Unreal Tournament Map Pack (AvP2 Beta) Comment! Game News | 12/7/2006 | 6:07 PST - David Shipley Mapping genius The_One's out with a new map pack called UT Small Map Pack (Beta). It's for AvP2, yeah, but it's only a beta version. I dig that name, man - The_One. Sort of reminds you of the most important things in life; life, love, dildo. So damn rare, these days. Download the map pack. Note: The_One also released two seperate maps: Abandoned Depot and Champion. One of them looks pretty damn sweet, too.
	Little Taste of the Strause Brothers 1 Comments Movie News | 12/7/2006 | 6:06 PST - David Shipley I posted about the Strause Brothers' - guys directing the AvP2 movie - Web site before, but I never really checked their Past Work section. It's pretty cool. I know it's mostly music videos and commercials, but Strause fan shakermakerman said the horror movie trailers are really something, They're titled under Universal Studios Orlando "Scare" and "Creep." Like I said, they're pretty cool - check 'em out. I think AvP2'll be OK. Maybe in the toilet bowl that is today's Hollywood, AvP2 is the new hot sh*t.

	YouTube: ET the Retard (With Alien Cameo) 3 Comments Other News | 12/6/2006 | 21:48 PST - David Shipley ET the Extraterrestrial starred in an episode of Robot Chicken couple weeks back; now it's posted on YouTube. It's funny, I guess, and a big hit at the place. Hey, Alien cameo have something to do with it? Most people I know aren't into ET, mostly 'cause of his proven ability to make you GLAAD. ET understands this--that's why he wears a T-shirt and cap to keep down the hate. Now people just give him dirty looks, instead of reaching into their jacket for their murder knife. Hey, enough of that. Let's watch the video. Thanks to Fire Redhead for the tip.
	SKNR.Net MySpace Page Comment! Movie News | 12/6/2006 | 1:16 PST - David Shipley Gareth, our AvP2 movie guy, runs Skiewed and Reviewed, a quality movie news and review site. He wanted to let us know its MySpace page is up now, too. I know it doesn't have a lot to do with AvP, but hey, its movies in general - check it out.
	YouTube: AvP in Chipmunkese 3 Comments Other News | 12/6/2006 | 1:15 PST - David Shipley "Hey, this face tastes like chicken." -- Facehugger in video Yo, here's another oldie, but goodie (back in June) sent to me by miniman and Leyna Pelli. It's called AvP in 100 Frames and 90 Seconds and it's big on YouTube, only they didn't tell me it's cause Alvin and the Chipmunks narrate it. Y'know, I can sound like a chipmunk too if someone kicked my kids. Good thing I know a girl who loves to take me and the kids to where she eats; that always makes me happy. Man, I can go on and on, but I'm still feeling pretty tired from yesterday's trip (Pseudo knows). Let's watch the video.

	AvP2 Movie Directors on Cinematography Style? 1 Comments Movie News | 12/5/2006 | 17:39 PST - David Shipley Greg and Colin Strause sometime like to answer questions on the Internet Movie Database's AvP2 movie forums. Today, they talk a bit about the cinematography in the film: Colin Strause: "From a lighting standpoint, the rule is to backlight everything, which give us deep contrast to hide our creatures in the background, and also gives us a cool rim-lit look to our humans. When the action picks up in intensity, the camera work will go from dollly/crane moves to mostly handheld to make the auidence feel like it's part of the action, with a 2.40 widescreen letterbox for graphic compositions. There is also not a single frame of slow motion footage in the movie either. The last thing is atmosphere. Every shot has either rain, fog, steam, haze, etc, etc to give footage the depth." Greg Strause: "Daniel Pearl was always at the top of our list. We are huge fans of TCM [Texas Chainsaw Massacre], but it had more to do with our personal taste than anything else. Gritty has been a key phrase we've used in regards to this film..." Supposedly, the Strause brothers signed up with their official E-mail addresses, which they need to confirm--so it's likely them. So read the full thread. Thanks, Mike for the tip. You're my main man (for today).
	3DCreative: Half-Naked Woman as Predator 3 Comments Merchandise News | 12/5/2006 | 3:19 PST - David Shipley In the December issue of 3DCreative Magazine, a half-naked woman in a Predator costume graces the front cover. And she's hot - especially for a computer-generated chick. No idea, really, why a woman Predator's in the magazine; it's not explained on the Web site or in the free 'lite' version of the magazine. I guess it's just 'fan art,' and a good one, at that. Thanks to KiLLer for the tip. Note: Finally, something I can go home and spank it to instead of the newspaper lingerie ads again. Leather chafing, here I come. *Fap, fap*
	YouTube: Dancing Predator Loves PlanetAvP.com 2 Comments PlanetAvP News | 12/5/2006 | 3:18 PST - David Shipley Mark "Dancing Predator" English like his Planet AvP so much, he made a video thanking us for his posting his Predator dance video. All I can say is...no problem, man! We're not the Academy Awards, but we appreciate the thanks (especially your little dance number at the end). If we could give you a hot, sexy group-kiss full of tongue, we would. Hey, if you ever swing around Wheeling, West Virginia, you can meet Planet AvP's co-Administrator Pseudo Hero, and watch him dance.
	ALP's on Fire: 'My Laptop! My iPod! My...My--My Sharona!' 3 Comments Other News | 12/5/2006 | 3:17 PST - David Shipley Hahaha! You don't get killer punchlines like that, man, except at Aliens Loves Predator. See, Abe and Preston's apartment's on fire, and Preston thinks Abe should take it a little more seriously. One of the best issues of the Web comic yet - check it out.
	Special Aliens 'Tech Oscars' Screening 4 Comments Movie News | 12/5/2006 | 3:06 PST - David Shipley Hey, there's gonna be a special screening for the movie Aliens at an Oscars ceremony Friday; part of their science and technology sub-division. Isn't that cool? A celebration over what Aliens brought to the silver screen. You can even attend - it's in Los Angeles - for five dollars. "To inaugurate its 'Prime Tech' film series, the Academy's Science and Technology Council is proud to present a special screening of Aliens. [It will premiere] a newly-struck 35mm print and feature a 20th anniversary retrospective panel discussion." Cool.

I just get 'em. I get a kick outta' that! Big thanks to Olaf Brunson, Tyler Wassgren, Ravager, and Mark English. They're great - check out their stuff in the Fan Art section. Hey man, send your own?

	Action Figure Video by Dancing Predator Dude 3 Comments Other News | 12/4/2006 | 3:12 PST - David Shipley That dude is Mark English - the one who did the dancing Predator video. He wants us to see his other video AvP: A Deadly Game, which uses action figures and live-action. Man, I wish I was that into AvP; I'd like doing Planet AvP more. Most pleasure I get is when I make an ass out of myself on the front page (oh, and yeah, and when I count my money). Anyway, it's called AvP: A Deadly Game. It's great - you should check it out. If not, watch his other videos.
