I was at home during this weekend snow storm (one of the perks to living in NC) with nothing to watch when all of a sudden I found the answer to my prayers – back to back reruns of the “To Catch a Predator” series. Talk about entertainment! I know it’s been a while since they’ve shot any new ones but this stuff just does not get old. How awesome would it be if they made a movie where the hitman is Chris Hansen. He wouldn’t need a gun or anything, just a sports jacket and a folded piece of paper.
Also, Predator happens to be one of my favorite movies ever. Quickly, here are my top 3 scenes from this classic:
- Carl Weathers gets his arm shot off but it continues to shoot his sub-machine gun. That’s some serious action, Jackson.
- Anytime the Native-American character laughs. He was solemn, serious and badass, but nothing can compare to that demented laugh he had.
- When Arnold figured out that the Predator is hunting him based on body heat and he starts setting up booby traps and shit. It’s the whole – the hunter becomes the hunted scenario…except with an Austrian accent.
That was just coincidence…but I actually think that TBS has it in their programming guidelines to constantly play either Shawshank Rendemption or some type of Arnold Shwarzeneggar movie.
Ha! While you were watching “To Catch a Predator” SciFi was playing Predator while TBS (or was it AMC?) was playing Predator 2…maybe it was the other way around.
I actually thought this was in reference to that
