Monday night, I went to see Mathias sing for Man's Last Great Invention vs The Predator at the newly renovated State Theater downtown. They created an improvised score for the film. Their performance gave me an entirely new appreciation for The Predator. MLGI was able to amplify the emotions that were hiding just under the surface (and the homo-eroticism that was not). The climax of the film, where Arnold's character and the Predator engaged in a long one on one strategic fight scene became more of a love scene, one full of mutual respect and foreplay, behind the violin and sparse guitar. I almost cried. But I didn't.
