Get To Da Choppa
Andy Godoy and Darren McDaid of Get to da Choppa explore the captivating world of Star Trek Voyager and other TV series related to it in today’s episode of Get to da Choppa. They highlight its distinct aspects while exploring its influence on popular culture.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made history when his character in the 1987 sci-fi action movie Predator, Dutch Schaefer (portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger), is instructed by his team leader (portrayed by Paul Wesley) to “get to da choppa.” This famous line has become an unforgettable catchphrase, often used as an expression of urgency or as an amusing way of conveying information. It refers to the helicopter that their team used to escape captors but has since come to symbolize any aircraft. Furthermore, its use as an expression has allowed for more significant usage within popular culture than its intended original meaning – even within the media itself!
Alan Silvestri made history with The Predator film with his first significant action score – featuring heavy horn blasts and staccato string rhythms that added tension. Silvestri’s music underscored the film’s epic scope.
Predator has become a cult classic due to its low budget. It has also inspired numerous parodies and memes.

Something Out There
Something Out There was a treat for primetime television audiences when it premiered over two nights on NBC in May 1988: an extravagantly produced sci-fi thriller with an ambitious budget that would make modern movie studios salivate. Though made-for-television science fiction films often cut corners behind the scenes, Something Out There spared no expense when hiring its esteemed cast and crew.
Gordimer’s use of the “something out there” motif is one of the most intriguing elements in her tale, suggesting that white South Africans’ genuine reactions to baboons are analogous to their reactionary response against symbolic acts of violence committed by guerillas. Furthermore, juxtaposing various stereotypes of femininity is an ingenious way of subverting and challenging racist assumptions.
Something Out There’s plot is inspired by some of the better B-grade alien monster movies – such as Alien and Invasion of the Body Snatchers with their added twist of shape-shifting xenomorphs pursued by human cops – though its true success lies in Jack and Ta’Ra’s relationship. Joe Cortese’s rugged charm makes them more engaging leads than many of their counterparts from this same era.
The Cast of supporting players was equally impressive, with Maryam d’Abo fresh off of her star turn in The Living Daylights as Bond Girl to Timothy Dalton and Gregory Sierra (now best known for his role as Judge 12 on Law & Order) both providing solid performances in minor parts. George Dzundza and Kim Delaney may not be household names, but both excelled at their respective positions.
Yautja Camouflage
The Yautja are an extraterrestrial race known for hunting other dangerous species – such as humans – for sport and honor, employing advanced technology and energy weapons alongside more traditional, hand-held weaponry to hunt their prey ritualistically before collecting body parts as trophies as part of a strict social hierarchy and clan structure.
Clans tend to be peaceful and united, though inter-clan rivalries and internal mutinies have occasionally been reported. Yautja individuals can vary widely in appearance; their reptile-like skin may be light or dark in tone and mottled or clear with dry or damp patches – typically over 7 feet tall, but shorter individuals have also been documented.
Dutch Schaefer was terrified when faced with an ugly Yautja jungle hunter in the 1987 sci-fi/action movie Predator. That terrifying creature asked him, “What the hell are you?” This shirt makes a statement about your fandom for one of the greatest action movies ever created!
The Yautja use an extraordinary form of active camouflage that renders them invisible to both thermal imaging systems and naked eyes alike, known as cloaking technology. This cloak works by distorting light around its wearer to create an unnoticeable chameleon effect – beneficial when sneaking up on enemies or fleeing battlegrounds; some speculate its use may also allow the Yautja to use and use deadly Xenomorph creatures as prisoners of war; its recognition has become part of their reputation; therefore making its usage symbolic.
Yautja Symbols
The Yautja are an intriguing alien race who have been featured in several Predator movies and comic books, with spine-ripping being one of their more distinctive practices – not only as an indicator of their strength as hunters but also as a way to demonstrate it as part of a rite of passage for young warriors. But this tradition is just one among many unique hunting practices practiced by this fascinating species.
Yautja are remarkable because they possess their language! This can be seen from their written symbols that appear on gauntlets, helmets, and architecture; their vocalizations typically consist of clicks, roars, and snarls; however, sometimes mimicking human speech is also possible. Recently, they have even been observed using helmets to communicate with both aliens and humans!
Through movies and media depictions, many words and phrases from Yautja have made appearances over time, giving fans an understanding of its vocabulary. Notable examples include N’dhi-ja for Farewell/Goodbye; Pyode Amedha for Soft Meat (a term commonly referring to human women); Z’skvy-de for Birth of Xenomorph from Host (Chestburster);
Yautja warriors must undergo a rite of passage called Ka’rik’na in order to advance in rank as warriors, which involves killing a Quatza-Rij and marking themselves with its blood – known as becoming “Blooded.” Once blooded, warriors can hunt other dangerous species across space – though not all clans recognize this name — such as Widow Clan from Predator 2 — they tilt their heads in confusion when addressed as Yautjas.
Hottest Years
Climate scientists believe global temperatures are on an upward trend due to climate change. A new study indicates we may have just experienced one of the five warmest years on record this century – and this may be true as 2017 could set another new temperature record!
Researchers from Berkeley Earth and NASA report the highest global average temperature rise since 1880 since records began, setting off international average temperature records since then. Furthermore, deep ocean environments where most heat is stored set a record warmth last year; warming ocean waters are destabilizing Antarctic ice shelves, killing coral reefs, endangering sea life populations, decreasing biodiversity, and speeding up sea level rise, as stated in their report by scientists.
People often claim that this year is no different from any other year; we are simply experiencing normal fluctuations. These people cherry-pick locations (the U.S.) and years (1934) to support their claim, when in reality, global temperatures are more extreme than at any time over the past 150 years.
