    The Refregirator (yeah, it’s a thing: https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt0102767/), It’s a haunted / gate of hell fridge attacking a couple who just moved in a shitty appartment. Even if you unplug it, it still tries to eat you or send his minions (toaster, blender…) so I’ll surely die horribly but I’m all for fighting against electric appliances.

      they seem to ignore the camera crew, that’s kind of them…

      fuck it, we need a BBC mockumentary about then filming the predator like a nature documentary.

            You must be young?

            So… I’m no history major but as I recall, Nicaragua had a socialist government called the FMLN… Reagan hated socialism and hired Oliver North to arm and train El Salvadoran troops… it’s wasn’t very secret. We had military boots on the ground. Even now I believe that we have a base in Panama to train soldiers… it’s connected to West Point somehow.

            But yeah, if shit’s going on places, we’re there.

            I do not know how Predator explained our soldiers down there but it didn’t have to.

    That thing from “It Follows”. I would just jump inside my car and go for a road trip. I am more than able to drive for 24 hours. It can follow these nuts!

    The thing from “It Follows” goes at a walking pace, I could hop in the car and drive a few hours out of town to spend the day at a nice park.

        I mean, sure, you could always die of an unrelated accident at any time while you’re being chased by a monster. The specific monster hardly matters in that situation.

    The Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park because first of all, I’m actually pretty sure I’d be fine so long as I can get in my car and drive away at a reasonable pace. Secondly, just think of the absolutely incredible collateral damage. Even if I get killed, it would be one of the most talked-about and confusing incidents in American history for the rest of time.

              Actually physically addicted? Probably not. And you’d only need one, maybe two hits (assuming oral consumption, not smoked or IV) spread out over your 24 hours to get through it. However, the euphoric rush from the Meth would be pretty intense (the dopamine release is 5x-10x that of Adderall) and most of the dangers are from chronic use, so if you’re the kind of person who’s prone to risk-taking, it’s possible you could wind up rationalizing the risks away and continuing to use it, and wind up truly addicted down the road. This is basically the route most addicts take. There aren’t any substances that are so addictive that one use gets you physically hooked.

              It might be especially easy to fall down this path if you’re now a multi-billionaire and no longer have a need to work and thus need to find something new to occupy your time.

                Just buy three pills of Adderall XR. I’m sure you would be able to get someone to sell you three pills in exchange for $1,000,000-$10,000,000 the day after tomorrow.

      This would work with a small investment in hard drugs before hand. Depends on how much prep time and street cred you have.

        I’m an old boring dude, but if I got off caffeine for a week before hand, I’d have no trouble stay awake after my second cup that day.

    Absolutely a Yautja (Predator). Pretty sure short middle-aged pudgy women who’d curl into a sad ball on the floor when threatened would be the most dishonorable kills ever. He might even be forced to off himself in shame for that lol

      Someone else has said that predators can hunt dishonorable prey if they’re the specific target of a hunt. I doubt they’d be happy to do it, but I bet they’d still do it.

      But if they’re chasing you for 24 hrs then you may have pissed it off. It wouldn’t be for a trophy at that point but just because it doesn’t like you, so it’s probably going to be more painful.

        That all looks like just more thermal imaging? Though it’s been yeaaaaars since I’ve seen Pred 2 so I have no memory of what it’s supposed to be story wise.

            Ahh, so presumably, while the literal footage is just more thermal imagery, story wise it was more than that? Thanks for confirming.

              Yeah, not sure if the imagery is all just the same thing in different colors or not, but the full scene’s in this clip. He sees their flashlight beams in the last view mode used.
