Oh shit, this is <strong>hilarious</strong>. Laughing my ass off here. Had no idea it was him in the suit.
<a href="https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/blog/the-original-predator-suit-jean-claude-van-damme">Transcript</a>: <i><blockquote><strong>Steve:</strong> Jean-Claude comes in and we're fitting him in this red suit and just assuming, like the slaves that we are, that the higher ups have told him exactly what's going on. But he thought this was actually the real look of the monster in the movie and he was, "I hate this. I hate this. I hate it. I look like a superhero." He was so angry. I'm like, "Jean-Claude, did no one tell you? It's a cloaking device. You're invisible for half of the picture. This is not you." Which made him even angrier because he thought he could do his martial arts, he could fight Arnold Schwarzenegger. Impossible. Absolutely Impossible. He didn't realize that he was just kind of a stunt man, right? We get him out there for the first shot and he's just seething.</blockquote></i>comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.138372-5508301Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:53:39 -0800zarqBy: Renoroc

Is this really true? IMDB shows one<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001310/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t10"> Kevin Peter Hall</a> as the Predator.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.138372-5508340Wed, 16 Apr 2014 17:39:57 -0800klarckBy: OverlappingElvis

I originally saw Predator at a drive-in movie theater. It was a very old, rundown drive-in that showed 2nd run movies, but it was cheap and you could bring in beer and sit around in lawn chairs drinking and watching movies. It was so run down that the projector was dim and the movies were always kind of murky. For years afterward I couldn't understand why people liked Predator. It was nothing but 2 hours of men running around shooting guns at bushes.
Then one day I happened to flip by Predator on cable and finally realized you could actually <em>see</em> the monster. The drive-in picture had been so bad I really thought it was invisible the whole time.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.138372-5508358Wed, 16 Apr 2014 18:07:44 -0800interplanetjanetBy: Hairy Lobster

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it.

The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends.
