You can't compare Alien and Predator. Aliens and Predator though are comparable.

Why not? Both feature a small group of people being picked off one by one by a monster they don't even get to see until midway through the movie. Both feature only 1 alien. Predator and Alien seem more similar to me than Aliens and Predator.

But Alien is a horror movie, and Predator is an action movie.

Hmm, I suppose so. How about this: story-wise, Predator is similar to Alien, but in action it's similar to Aliens?

SMB and Zelda are similar because you're out to save the princess, right? :P

Ken Park.

What in the hell was that all about? Ken Park (the character) was a "plot device," apparently, except the characters only briefly mention him at the end when they're having a completely random threesome with a not-so-attractive girl.

I'd heard it was this awesome movie. It was absolutely boring. So it's got a 17 year old guy eating out a hot MILF. Maybe that's what garnered the 'awesome movie' status, but personally I thought it was boring. The kids didn't accomplish anything, and the kid that kills his grandparents isn't really explained at all. He's just a plain and simple little shit that likes to choke himself while choking his chicken and abuse his gracious grandparents.

Seriously, what a waste of a download.

Spoiler alert? Anyway, I thought the girl wasn't that ugly. It's an odd movie, and I think it got most of its praise for pushing boundaries rather than consisting of a great storyline.

Larry Clark is the 'you like or don't' type of filmmaker. You should of watched Kids because that one actually has a plot.

I think the director/writer/whatever just wanted attention, that's why they would showcase 'kids' having sex. I suppose each actor was above 18, I really don't know. But that's not what irked me. What irked me was just the absolute absence of storytelling. That alone negates any spoilers, lol! There's nothing to spoil. It starts with the suicide of the kid which kinda/sorta sets up a mystery. "what do these kids have to do with KP's suicide?" And it's never addressed.

It was an anti-movie.

@OldSchool_Boy

Yeah I've heard of Kids but I haven't watched it. If it does have a plot to it I'll check it out.

In all of Larry Clark's films, you should expect that all the kids are having sex or going to have sex. Also I heard Bully was great but I haven't seen it.
