Have you ever watched a fight and so wanted the little guy to win? I mean you know he's totally doomed, maybe past his prime or even been let down by his friends, no chance in hell, yet you still look on hoping that miracles can happen?

Look, here's the deal. I want to get behind this franchise, seriously, I really do. But I want a reason to get behind this franchise. Something I can cling to and say: "Look, see how they did that? That was the right thing to do. They did good." It's the tiniest of announcements, just a title and a setting, but it's already delayed my chances of having anything useful to cling to and respect about this franchise for the next few years. Oh, how the mighty have fallen... Twice.

It's been announced, declared or maybe even mumbled by Fox that the title for Alien Versus Predator 2 will be *sigh*... (in best ring announcer voice...) Survival Of The Fittest. Yes friends, that's the best they could come up with.

Fangoria report that the sequel to Paul W.S. Anderson's 2004 fanboy let down will be set, yet again, here on Earth. I mean seriously, didn't they learn their lesson the last time? Obviously not, because their idea on how to inject more action, more mayhem, more chaos into this epic struggle for dominance lies... not in Egypt, not in Alaska, no not even in Amsterdam, but in a town in America's Midwest.

Apparently they're going for that "we're stuck in the middle" angle that worked so well the last time. I wouldn't blink if there wasn't a human in an AVP movie, and I know I'm not alone, so why oh why do they insist on pitting these two extra-terrestrial killing machines against unarmed hicks? If we have to be involved, bring the marines dammit!

Anderson must be a hard act to follow because as we know, they've hired two people to replace him. Special FX professionals and Alien sequel vet's Colin and Greg Strauss are calling the shots this time around and plan to get started on production in Vancouver on September 23 and wrap by December 14 for a freshly delayed December 21, 2007 release. Why that's plenty of time in which to screw up a film. They'll do fine!
