Since I mentioned the remake I should mention the original pairing:

They don't look very happy, do they..?

 

When I saw that, the first thing that came to mind........

Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco

"The Frog Prince" (1986)

Zora and Prince of Freedly (cursed)  He reminds me of a Babylon 5 Narn.

 

Kiss broke the curse

You mean Aristophanes' 'The Frogs'? Or 'Frogs' starring Sam Elliott and Ray Milland?

Either way...'it ain't easy being green...'

Tell me about it!

If there's a sequel, guess this will be their kid. 

[I Just Watched...]

"The Shape of Water" (2017) on HBO's free holiday preview.  Not what I expected, felt sorry for the poor thing.  Like to know what exactly is it and where it came from (found in the Amazon).  What I've read, think it's more than a The Creature From The Black Lagoon inspiration for de Toro but what he thought (my take) the 1950's film should had been.

Wish it didn't ate the cat. 

No need to reboot or remake "The Creature From The Black Lagoon", this film will do.

It is referred to as a "monster"....NO this is one! Glad the sadistic psycho got what was coming to him.

[Lookalikes?]

The producers of "Star Trek Discovery" did a nice job in finding a decent lookalike for Captain Pike.  Sure did better than the other characters in the Star Trek reboot.

Answer...A throbbing headache.

Just happened again, tried searching for an old thread  and...

 

[TCM SEARCH IS DEAD]

I keep getting that annoying 504 error most of the time.  By default simply Search for EXACTLY what I type in - don't search for individual words within it! 

[I Just Watched...]

"Rampage" (2018) on HBO holiday free preview.  It's named for the patrons wanting their money back at the box office. 

Why is that every large mutant sci fi animal is bullet / shell / missile proof?  Producers must miss 9 / 11 referring to the Willis (Sears) Tower collapsing.

Movie had a stupid ending, King Kong with a sense of humor. (now what to do with the big ape??)

There is a CSI episode where 2 people planned to swap murders so there won't be motive linking each other.

I've hated these predator movies since the first one. they pit American fighting men against an overwhelmingly unstoppable alien monster who can beat the sheet outta humans. I ate that.

how about something more titillating like predator meets Ginormica?

Predator vs whatever those skulls were from. 

(the one in the middle above the human skull is a Xenomorph so that's already done)

The Greeks pronounced the initial p.  The French still do (the French word for tire (n) is "pneu", and they pronounce it "puh-NUH".  So I guess the Romans did too.  Those silent initial p's and k's in English were pronounced up until a few centuries ago.

And Predator should have been a screwball comedy, anyway.

The scene when he used a severed hand to give the thumbs up to the military truck driver was a riot.

It's from the Greek pneumon, which means "lung".

So the Greeks pronounce it P - neumon?

AH! And so here we have yet ANOTHER case of the dreaded superfluous letter 'u', EH?!

And so I ask, is there REALLY any good reason the word "rogue" CAN'T just be spelled "ROGE"???

(...and as I continue on with my never ending quest to rid the English language of that oh so needless letter in some words, I now leave you)

I always wondered since elementary school, why in the world is there a p in pneumonia?

I'm not interested in anyone born after the 1940s! The 'greatest generation' and their immediate offspring, are the world-shakers in this country as far as I'm concerned. Today's designer-drug-addled 'movie stars' (who learned about life from watching TV and munching Corn Chex while laying around on shag rugs in their family's faux wood paneled 'rec room' ...hold no interest for me! Just sayin!

I agree people who lived through the Great Depression to WWII is the greatest generation.  Have spoiled people today go though the same thing (the apocalypse is here ).  Stunned no one not hurling themselves out of high rises because of the past month's stock decline.

Oh--let me make haste to clarify that my remark doesn't reflect on your posting about the movie. Just that the flick itself, the concepts in it, the storyline...I never understood it. I read your post 5-6 times and I admire your enthusiasm for the film, but its still over my head. Good luck to your alternate version nonetheless!

It's easy to understand in when one (predator) wants to help someone, winds up killing the one's he's helping. 

 

I'm here to give you a gift, now die.

Fixed typo, thanks for pointing it out. Don't want people to think the predator is a communist.
