I couldn't agree more. The Terminator was a closed loop, with the photograph a perfect ending. I wasn't such a fan of Alien or Predator, but what you say still holds true.

Another brilliant original that was actually ruined by the sequels: Planet of the Apes.

Which sequels are you talking about SS. Original Planet of the Apes series or the last one that flopped few years ago?

I can tell you what movie really disappointed me was Battlefield earth 3000. Not a sequel but really poorly written conversion from the book which I like a lot.

It looks like it will be a great movie! And the way it is filmed (More silver to give it an out of place look) has been quite impressive!

One thing that is missing of course is the laser guns that were the hallmark of the battle scenes in the first 2 movies.

The show managed to screw it up to making them look like plasma bolts than laser shots but still I hope atleast at the end we some in action.

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.

While I dislike many of his views. The governator helped bring about the movement that is stripping the republican party of its lunatic deep right aspects.

As for Cali. You can't snap your fingers and make things perfect but as far as I am concerned he is keeping the state intact and that is fine with me.

Oh, you must mean that even though the public voted against gay marriage here the putz wants to take it to court to over rule the voice of the people, you mean that that type of lunacy?

Guys pls make a new topic on Arnod's ability to govern California. This is about the terminator movie. With or with out him in it and related Hollywood stuff.

Thank you for your cooperation. Quoted by T-1000

The scary thing is that John Travolta still wants to do a sequal to it, and he believes that the film ws sucessful!

I hear d that they are starting work on a fifth terminator film, and that Bale has signed a three film deal for the terminator franchise

I really like the first two Terminator movies. I really like the series on Fox. However, I think they should have left it alone at the second movie. I didn't really care for the third and just hope the fourth isn't as bad. Maybe the third wouldn't have been so bad if they had chosen someone else to play John Connor. Nick Stahl just didn't cut it, and when he put the gun to his head in the one scene I was actually kind of hoping he would off himself. The fembot in T3 was an interesting touch to say the least, but can there ever be a bot better than the T-1000?

Yes. Those motorcycle bots from the trailer.


Remember folks this is about the war. It is completely different than the "Bot trying to blend in to protect/kill someone" theme of the movies show.

That is going to turn a few people off. And some may not like how Connor is always shooting and less evading the governator but people have been waiting for decades to see more than a few mins of scenes from after Judgment day.
