Nov 28 2007 Japanese 'Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem' Trailer
If you're following the tireless on-screen battle between Alien aliens, Predator aliens, and sensible storylines (who isn't?), you'll want to take a look at this new Japanese trailer for Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.
I think it has at least a few new shots, plus it's fun to see that seemingly unrelated franchises battling for the sake of fanboys, video games, and confusion translates flawlessly between cultures.
If you watch it, let me know if you think it's weird they set half the action over Silent Night. I know this is coming out on Christmas Day, but that doesn't make it logical to play a carol over graphic alien violence. Transformers came out 4th of July weekend, and it's not like the trailer was set to the Star-Spangled Banner.

Nov 27 2007 AM Poster Post: 'Alien vs. Predator: Requiem' Japanese Style
I know the Japanese have bested us in consumer electronics, video games, math and science skills, and animated portrayals of sex with tentacles, but movie posters? I'm afraid so. This stylized, splattered silhouette is so much cooler than our version that it's hard to believe this is the same culture that brought us the chocolate-dipped cardboard known as Pocky and a renewed interest in unwarranted public groping.

Oct 31 2007 'Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem' Banners Show Off Claws
The problem with this Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem banner, aside from the concept it's promoting, is that this is like the lamest pose a Predator can make. If you could be there, at the Predator Bar Mitzvah or wherever they get their learning claws, this is definitely what every 13-year-old Predator is doing.
"Did you see my claws, dude? Get a shot of me showing my claws. Wait, is the red light on? I want the red light on, too."
And this is clearly every Predator's senior picture. It's their equivalent to our holding the lame instrument you play in band.
I've placed its counterpart, where an Alien is posing like a decrepit grandma, under the cut.

Sep 24 2007 'Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem' Poster (with Lens Flare!)
Fox has released a new poster for Alien vs. Predator: Requiem in the hopes of making us forget the first, terrible time the two species arbitrarily faced off. Which does it remind you most of?
- the Mozilla Firefox logo.
- some sort of ill-conceived political cartoon about AT&T taking over.
- a desperate attempt by a geek to cover his now-regretted Yin-Yang tattoo.
- the first, terrible time Aliens and Predators arbitrarily faced off.
- that our society is officially over.

Sep 21 2007 'Aliens vs Predator: Requiem' Trailer Redefines Versus Standards
It's official: after having watched the Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem trailer, Aliens fighting Predators has become my new baseline for struggle. Rising above such contenders as good vs. evil, man vs. nature, Roe vs. Wade, and baby vs. cobra, Aliens vs. Predators is now my standard for one force competing against another force. "Have you ever read Beowulf?" I'll ask. "With good and evil clearly defined, it's essentially a story of the classic struggle between Alien and Predator." That's how life-changing this trailer is.
None of that is true; I could barely make out what was going on in this thing. But it is kind of awesome when the predator uppercuts the alien with his hand claw.
Aug 27 2007 Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem Trailer
Thinking that the title was Aliens vs. Predator vs. Requiem, I was understandably disappointed when this trailer did not feature an Alien fighting a hopped-up Ellen Burstyn and Jared Leto. Barring that misunderstanding, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with this little preview. Like a porn star's demo reel, it wisely avoids revealing too much acting or plot and focuses on the parts you wouldn't want a mother to see, along with occasional screaming.
You can see a higher-quality version at the official site, but you'll have to either be 17 or have the math skills to enter a birth date that would pretend as much. Thanks for the tip, Metzger.

Aug 23 2007 Alien Versus Predator Gets New Title
If you thought the timeless struggle between Aliens and Predators was over, you're in for a big surprise come Christmas Day when the two face off again! The follow-up to Alien Vs. Predator (or as my tattoo reads, "AvP") has gone through a variety of names, from AvP2, to the Christmasy Alien vs. Predator: No Peace on Earth, to the subtle Aliens vs. Predator. I heard them all and thought, man, this is going to be just as bad as the first.
I couldn't have been more wrong! Now they've settled on Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, which tells me this film is going to really artistic and beautiful, not an idiotic hypothetical situation created in the minds of fanboys. With a name like requiem, how could it not be good?! Find out Christmas Day!
