Predators. It’s Good But Just One Thing Is Missing.

Help me find your friends, please.

“Predators” is pretty awesome.  There are a lot of explosions, some aliens, a lot of guns, racial stereotypes, genre casting, rape jokes, and Lawrence Fishburne.  You can almost totally enjoy this movie.  Almost.

It’s clear that something’s been left out, and I’m not talking about Jesse “The Body” Ventura.  I’m talking about Arnold.  Arnold damn Schwarzenegger.  It’s really too bad that the director of this movie did not call the editors of DrankWithThat before making it.  Oh well, this guy’s mistake didn’t hold us back.  We brought what was missing in a cup.  Introducing the The Arnold Palmer Schwarzenjaeger.  Here’s how you make it:

  • On your way to the theater, stop off at a liquor store and pick up a bottle of Jaegermeister.  Jaegermeister is made out of deer blood and each bottle is carried in a hunter’s pouch before it’s sold.  It’s also from a German country.  You know this stuff is good.
  • Once you’re through the ticket tearer (it’s pretty easy with just one bottle of booze to stash), head to the concession stand and order a cup of lemonade and a cup of iced tea.  Sometimes these come in bottles, too.  If so, get a couple of cups.
  • When the lights go down, start blending your iced tea and lemonade 1 to 1, in typical Arnold Palmer fashion.  This can be accomplished in a number of ways but we suggest just pouring it into a third cup.
  • When the movie kicks off (and it kicks off pretty fast), pour a couple shots of Jaeger into your Arnold Palmer and “boom”, you’ve got yourself one tasty thematic drink.  The color goes dark, like man blood, which means you’re in business.

This drink is particularly good because it’s designed with some of the very concessions that theaters already provide to guests.  If they only knew that they were enabling you to enjoy this movie more to the max with their snack food options, don’t you think it would mean a lot to more to them?  Think about it!

Also, the editors should mention that “Predators” was reviewed during a double header with “Inception” so our favorable criticism might have something to do with our mind getting melted an hour before.

Inception: Your Mind is the Scene Of The Booze!

Very hard to pee during this.

Very hard to pee during this.

Inception is a sci-fi action movie where dreams have dreams and the only way to know if you’re in the real world is to spin your butt plug and see if it stops spinning (it doesn’t).

Like in his other 2010 blockbuster, Leonardo DiCaprio plays ah dooly appointed fedehral mahhshal who can’t distinguish fantasy from reality. Unlike Shutter Island, this movie is good.

(To learn more about this young, sexy, and super rich star, go here.)

The gist is that Leo has to go into a shared dream state with Cillian Murphy and convince him to give away all his money. There are a bunch of rules about that and Ellen Page is there too. Go see it.

But heed this warning from the DWD editorial team: this movie will suck you into a rabbit hole if you’re not careful. How do you prevent Leonardo DiCaprio from sneaking into your dreams and stealing all your good ideas? Answer: stay alert!

Introducing: The DiFraprio

Here’s how it works:

  • First, go to Starbucks and get a SMALL OR MEDIUM coffee Frapuccino™. Your editors got largos and haven’t slept since.
  • Make sure they put extra whipped cream on it. Suck some of it down too because it will get all over the inside of your bag otherwise.
  • Next, flirt with the girl at the counter a bit because you are in Times Square and you’re the first tolerable people she has met in weeks.
  • Finally, go to the bathroom and apply a large quantity of bourbon to your frap. Bulleit is preferable because there are lots of bullets in this movie (groan).

Starbucks fraps are pretty easy to sneak into theaters as long as you play it cool. Just shove it in a bag and try to keep it upright. Avoid eye contact with security.

The drink is perfect for the movie because it gets you really riled up and helps you power through the parts where they have to explain dream manipulation. It also turns the volume to 11 on the action scenes.
