Not to forget Predator hehehe.

My cuisine has the terminator series original comics in acid proof packages boxed. Man we used to read the stuff. Continuing the Connor stories and some.
You named the best movies ever! Why don't they make them like this anymore? I am not compelled to go spend money on the next Pirates of the Caribbean XVIII. Mind you, #1 was good, but they went downhill from there.

Back in the Terminator and Predator days, you know what i miss? It was the end of the story. They didn't plan it out for 13 releases or until it flops. They didn't leave you hanging at the end of the story.

I think this is what turned me off to movies - leaving you hanging at the end of the story like James Bonds last film, and probably his newest one too. I feel like I wasted my time because I came into the movie and then had to leave half way through. I hate that.

They are doing that it games too. Crysis comes to mind.

Yea end it already...I liked the Matrix series and LOTR, Star Wars etc but if that was the way it was originally intended I think that works but to just try to keep a good movie going artifically when it was not intended to be that way I don't like it.

No Ahnuld, no Terminator. This movie will probably be really good. Imagine the old terminator movies with no Arnold, they would have just been bad sci fi B movie that come on late night TV.

You guys bring good arguments. I hate it but I have to agree with you. Subman your totally right. What was I thinking?

Well at least they should take to a new direction maybe change the name? :hmm:

But if the writing is good and the actors can pull it off they should get the chance...

But we all know that is very rare feat in Hollywood.

I kinda wished to see Michael C. Hall in this movie as leading character but Bale is a good choice

I think this could work out well. Bale is good and the way every Terminator film ended left it open. Time travel is great ya see.

I quite like what they are doing with the Sarah Connor Chronicles, though tb honest I mainly watch it to look at Summer Glau as Cameron. I bet being her boyfriend isn't the same....

If Chris Farley was still around i think he would have made a good terminator and David Spade could be Sarah Conner...

Oh yeah. Nobody can tire of Summer Glau kicking butt. Seriously, how awesome was Serenity for that?

Oh, this is a Terminator thread, right? Sorry. Ah... I'll be back.
