Devin Faraci from CHUD thinks this is an official leak. If it is, the below video will still be viewable in an hour. If not... well, gee, I guess it'll just disappear forever!
That works. Come back, Brad Fiedel!

I was skeptical but this looks sweet.
-
Thats what it looked like to me.
-
Looks alright to me. I still love that theme music.
-
Yay, Bruce Wayne goes to Asia and becomes a zen-like warrior, learning about the terminators in order to defeat them.
-
I'll be there.
-
Don't let this movie suck.
-
Looks kinda sorta not bad
-
I had the same thought...
-
Check out this http://tinyurl.com/5bbc65

We will see though.
-
That this had even started filming. I thought the concept art we seen a couple of months ago was as far as it had come...
-
only because its bale. T3 sucked balls
-
I'm inclined to like Terminator, having seen all the movies, read the novels and comics (though haven't seen the new tv series), so I'll just wait to see what comes down the line for the next year. Oh, and having Bale playing Connor doesn't hurt any either.
-
Actually looks pretty fuckin good
-
That trailer has just tweaked my interest for this movie, but i just cant get passed Mc fucking G directing this at the moment.
-
Never seen that before. Although i have to say it does look better than i expected.
-
fortune w/ the general public.
-
Not a lot interested... but I no longer have a direct feeling of apathy to this film.
-
It looked right. Most importantly they got away from the sound stage look of the flashforwards in earlier Terminator movies. Post-apocalyptic America looks more expansive. Hopefully there's some big set pieces. The Hunter-Killer at the end looked a bit more HR Giger than usual though.
-
and count the number of shitpiles you find Bale at the top of.. Not too many.
-
the saga of terminator ENDED when arnie melted in the steel...
much like the story of indy ENDED when he road off into the sunset.
period. -
Won't speak too soon for the movie, but I thought the trailer gave a good sense of dread. It also had Bale! BALE!
-
No Terminator movie. This is a film made by a fan, not the creator. Save the money for Avatar.
-
Please don't suck, please don't suck... Awwwe who am I kidding.
-
...I'd like to put my eyeballs on...just slap my eyeballs right on it and roll them all around...
-
NUMBER FOUR, YOUR STOCK IS CLIMBING!

Tv show is really good man. Much better then T3.

They'd be crazy not to show something as Batman's coming out
by aversiontherapy2
Bale's hot as can be right now. This looked better than I thought it would, I loved the brief glimpse of a desert scene, it could have been relentlessly dark.
-
makes me sit up and say "howdy" every damn time...
-
I don't need to know anymore.
-
Why are they releasing trailers a year in advance now? Too damn early, it feels like we've seen the whole thing by the time the actual release date swings round.

If John Connor is replaced with a Baleminator, I ain't a goin'!
by spyguy
Until this rumored plot point is confirmed or denied, I'm officially on hold before shelling out my eight-fitty for a ticket.
-
You will all eat shit when McG makes the best action movie of 2009. Fuck the haters. This will rule.
-
I love terminator. I love Terminator 2. Terminator 3 was such a rancid pile of dog shit that after watching it, I decided that I would simply ignore it and that for me, the series would simply end after 2 with John and Sarah succeeding and preventing judgment day. Now this comes along. I don't think there is a single movie that Christian Bale has been in that I haven't either liked or loved. He doesn't strike me as the sort to sign onto something that's going to suck....even if it would give the coolness factor of getting to play John freakin Conner. The trailer didn't show much, but what it did show didn't look awful. So I dunno....maybe this will be ok. Maybe this will even be....good? My hope is that this will cause me to reevaluate my position on the series and allow for the storyline to continue. Until then...please dont suck...please dont suck....please dont suck.
-
Rated questionable.
-
That's pure bullshit. Yeah, you're all really going to eat shit.
-
Whatever happened to the proposed Terminator versus Alien versus Predator movie? Is that off indefinately now that they are making more terminator flicks and there may be an Alien 5?
-
The robot at the end of the trailer looks really fucking dumb.
Just sayin. -
because PG-13 is pointless
-
in my life story!
-
IIRC, McG shot that down during the July set visit.
-
I think the line "This isn't the future my mother warned me about..." confirms your worst fears.
-
I'm in.
-
Never heard of an AVPVT movie. I doubt Fox would play ball.
-
I have to say, it's a pretty cool teaser. I think I'm going to have to give this a chance now!
-
This should be our last stand against douche bag studio execs who think they'll get a wider audience candy coating films that should be as brutal as the one's that came before them. Die Hard, AVP, and TERMINATOR... this must END HERE!!!
-
I am now seizuring at my desk at work...Thanks.
-
Not enough to tell if it'll be any good or not. I hope it is and I hope that rumored ending is false. It needs to be R.
-
And this will be Bale's.
-
so far...just hope McG surprises us all to be honest. I still don't want to accept the super twist ending though. Also this needs to be at least a 15/R rated film. My perfect view of this film would be the opening 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan combined with the flash forwards from T1 and T2. The same style machines just with brutal killings for the battle scenes. Although not just shakey cam and turn away just as the blood is about to be spilt!
-
...considering what little of it you can see through all that obnoxious flicker effect they got going.
I'd say about 80% of every bad ass moment in any of the Terminator movies comes as a result of that amazing soundtrack though. -
about a R rating on this. If so, it could be what we've been waiting for since the Dark Hores comics series started.
-
i'm sold.
-
I will wait to see more. Since I am apprehensive as to the final product, that quick teaser didn't do anything for me one way or another. Moon Bloodgood is in this???? Does that mean she's still traveling ala JourneyMan?
-
Three words. Reign of Fire.
-
No faith in McG though.
-
... though I still can't imagine McFreakin'G being able to pull this off.
-
Terminator 2 has actually, somehow, aged worse than the original Terminator. The original Terminator holds up as a good movie. T2, which was my favorite movie in the whole wide world when I was 14, was pretty painful to watch in many respects. Edward Furlong is incredibly bad. The humor falls flat. The special effects look kind of hokey due to the fact that they're shot in a "wow, a special effect!" manner. A lot of the dialogue is clunky. Hamilton still rocks when she goes decides to hunt down Dyson though. But I didn't realize how much of the movie is taken up by Furlong at the beginning. Anyone else watched them recently?
-
very nice
-
And this will be Bale's, along with Reign of Fire.
Also cock. -

There is a massive hole where ARNIE should be
by judge dredds fresh undies
Really hit me now that this is a not a real terminator film.
-
Thirty seconds of something kickass. That would have been much more satisfyng. Just give us a t-800 skeleton with a machine gun in one hand a corpse with a broken neck dangling from the other. Thunderous applause would ensue.
-
He wrote: "I realize it sounds like some Hollywood nickname, hip-hop choice... it's just a name, and to change it now would seem fraudulent." I understand what he's saying and doesn't want to take shit for changing it mid-career, but I think It would be much better to see a credit reading Directed by Joseph Nichol or Joseph M. Nichol, than Directed by McG at the end of a Terminator film. For this reason I propose he gets a full pardon for the change and should get NO SHIT FOR IT AT ALL. He's rebooting this series we all love and if he does as great job at it I feel he's earned the right to reboot his name (and career) in the process. Oh, but if the movie sucks ass in the end, he should just keep it McG, cause none of us will watch it again anyway and won't really care what he calls himself.
-
Remember the original T2 teaser? Awesome.
-
Gordon has a beer and cheets on his wife.
-
he went from Ricky to Rick and back to Ricky again..so i'm sure McG could use his proper name without problems. and i guess means its official, the title is indeed Terminator Salvation....least they got rid of the rest.
-
Getting good vibes about this, McG is dead...long live McGinty ;-)
-
Do we really need this much Terminator? The TV show is marginal. Now another movie... sans Arnie? I get that it's a paycheck movie for Bale. Good for him. But hasn't the Terminator teat been drained yet?
-
and given how low expectations were for a McTerminator film, thats saying something. The presence of Bale of course helps. Liked the shot of the machine rising from the water Aliens style. Liked the crushed skull. Still too early to form an opinion, but at least now there are some grounds for optimism.
-
that we'll find out the Creepy Thin Man was actually a Terminator? it would explain his knack for surviving the impossible.
-
They look identical.
-
get a life. this will be good.
-
Really I havent cared about Terminator since T2.Plus its so inconsistent with the many different john connors and the tv series that all they really are doing is milking it for all its worth...AND CLAIMING THERE NOT.
-
still not sold. could cut a solid trailer from any 90 minutes of movie footage. even a snoozer or a straight to dvd shitfest.
-
...once I found out Bale was in it...and after hearing his voice-over, my anticipation clicked up a couple of notches.
-
Jul 16, 2008 2:34:22 PM CDT
Did the WATCHMEN traile leak!?!
by the guy who slept through everything.
Seriously.
-
but I'll be skipping this one. I gave Mostow a chance with T3 because I enjoyed Breakdown. McG, on the other hand, has done nothing but shit. I don't see why this movie would be any different and this trailer definitely doesn't say otherwise.
-
This may actually be decent. T3 was a pile of crap and I don't have any interest in the TV show whatsoever. I'm glad they're finally ditching the time traveling and actually doing a proper sequel. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. So far so good it seesm.
-
I am at least happy they apparently ditched the stupid theme from T3 that everything is destined to play out like it is supposed to after the first two movies used the theme of “No fate is but what you make of it”.
One theme I always kinda wondered about is and thought would be a good avenue to explore is that they keep sending people/Terminators back to stop Skynet, but what if it screws up the future so the timeline changes and things are much worse in the future. What if Sarah’s efforts to bring down Cyberdyne/Skynet makes Skynet more prepared for a human resistence movement and has better defenses and weapons. It looks like they may explore that theme here.
That said, I am still leary of this project.
-
Ya know, I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that way about T2. I watched it a couple of weeks ago, and was a little underwhelmed as compared to my "Oh My Fucking God That Movie Is Great" impression I've held for years (saw it opening weekend). Now, of course the DVD version I'm stuck with is the extended cut with all the father figure stuff between Furlong and Termie, that Cameron wisely cut for the theatrical release. Still impressive though is the bike/truck chase, Robert Patrick as liquid metalman, the editing during the hospital chase, the steel mill....hell, 90% is still damn impressive..
-
I'm liking the look of the early stages of the war. The vegetation coming back to life after the nuclear holocaust, intertwined with the stagnant destruction and machinery. The trailer is meant to fill you with dread, it looks too real and too close for comfort compared to the future war scenes you've seen in the previous films. I'm sure the most desolate, bleak, gray and black sets are being saved for the second and/or third films.
Personally, I think McG knows exactly what he's doing with the look and feel of this film. Even the daytime scenes look desolate and a shell of a former normal reality.
The addition of the green, especially in subtle ways with the quick shot near the end of the trailer with Sam Worthington standing in front of a large explosion (you'll see a tree) is just fantastic to me.
Count me in. -
fracking awesome....love how the static choppy transmission was playing the terminator tune before the main music keyed up.... t3 was a great movie too..so im guessin all the terminator interference in the past is totally messing up the future, love how the terminator rose from the water....looked like a more advanced version of the T-1....its cool that they would still use the old model to a certain degree in the future...sewer and drainage patrol to flush the humans out into the open for the HKs and endoskeletons to kill... wtf was that giant claw that snatched that dude up at the beginning ? looks awesome....and YES the sarah connor chronicles is an awesome show and is a rousing success..hence season 2....wish that journeyman got a second season.....too bad someone cant make a feature film on that.
-
is it just me or does anyone else get an image of george michael everytime someone mentions "McG"? lol....sounds gay, just like prince and fabio sound...
-
Yep. Wake me when the Watchmen trailer hits the internets.
-
Beaks is right about the rating then i'll go watch it with an open mind. Oh and T3 was shite until the end.
-
You people all have your geek priorities screwed up.
-
If you guys didn't know but empireonline.com has the exclusive for it and it will be available on friday 5am GMT.

That looked alright, the music sold it.
by the guy who slept through everything.
Smart move releasing this with TDK coming and Empireonline.com will have the WATCHMEN trailer tomorrow 9PM EST.
-
in the parlance of our time.
-
never fails that in every topic regarding a trailer release some ass has to post a link for trailer "in HD"...does it matter ? HD should stand for Huge Dork, or Hairy Dweeb...Has no Dick(because he ripped it off stroking to an HD trailer).... all in fun guys, but seriously what gives.
-
I'm very happy to leave it right there, with the good guys winning. I'm ok with seeing the alternate future war, but that whole semi-restart thing they did with T3 that crapped all over the ending of T2 just ticked me off.
-
I thought Edward Furlong sucked when I first watched T2 in the theaters so that didn't change, nor the fact that Furlong was a 14 year old playing a 10 year old (and it only being 7 years since the orginal). But I still think it has a solid story, great action, and most of the other performances are spot on. Just because everyone have overused the catchphrases and jokes and the special effects are a bit outdated, but nowhere as bad as the original (the matting for the Terminator endoskeleton in the finale is horrible).
-
That is the worst choppy teaser I have ever seen... what shit.
-
I've been pecking away at mine since Monday night. So much to say...
-
...except for that last frame of the HK... that's only part of this limited teaser that was interesting.
I'll watch the additional trailers as the release draws closer, but I'm not entirely sold on the idea that this film is even necessary. -

Bale made two already: Equilibrium, Captain Corelli's Mandolin
by gqtaste
Captain Corelli's Mandolin and if you even want to get picky "Shaft" remake was stupid, even though he was only playing Patrick Bateman in a different way.
-
too bad, the quality was better than the ever-shitty Yahoo vids.
-
Great casting of Bale as John Connor... but I can't help thinking: What would Cameron have done with this material given the chance?
-
it's on yahoo
-
T3 wasn't great, but it was nowhere near the trainwreck it could've been. It does look like they are giving this a much bigger sense of scale than having all the fighting take place in the remains of downtown LA. It is just a teaser but it at least tells us that A) It seems to have a good visual look and B) Christian Bale does look good as Connor. That still leave a lot up in the air (a "Connornator" would definitely be a deal-killer) but at least there is some hope. Also, I don't think it has to be a hard-R movie either. Really if it wasn't for the language and brief nuditity (as Radar would say), T2 and T3 were moderate R at the most.
-
That shot of what looks to be an electrocuted fighter pilot after his parachute got caught on an power tower is very striking.
-
It's got Bale on it.. so.. maybe.. Dunno.. Give me TDK already!
-
Every time that movie is on, I watch it. I thought Furlong sucked when I was a kid, and he still does when I watch. But I tolerate it because the movie is excellent otherwise. Arnold, Robert Patrick, and Linda Hamilton were all great. The action was crazy, ridiculous, and well staged. And the movie is paced pretty good. I don't get how people are hating on it after the fact. Are these people like 19 and think the best action movie ever is The Matrix?
-
T3 was a disaster...and when I heard they were doing another, I was interested but also dreaded the notion of them doing it after the ham-fisted effort that was T3. Then I heard about the 'twist'; where John Connor dies and is transformed into a Terminator programmed to save us. I dunno.....I'd be more excited if this had a better director - but McG is largely a hack. Trailer's cool though.
-
The art direction and music are awesome. Can't wait to see what they unveil at Comic-Con.
-
He knows we are all expecting him to deliver a Grade A FAIL of a movie. So I am hoping he proves us all wrong. The trailer looks decent, and had more footage than I expected to see. And whoever said it looked like the trailer for "Cloverfield" was dead on.

Looks Good. Bale is a Zillion Times Better Than Nick Stahl
by kevinwillis.net
Looks more like a movie, while T3 was clearly a production sequel in the tradition of franchise/repackage/regurgitate that kept, say, Jaws 3 from being a good movie. Let's take a little from 1, a little from 2, mix a little of this movie over here . . . and this time, it's a woman terminator! Terminator 3 was definitely direct-to-video quality. Just the teaser for this movie looks better than anything I saw for T3.
-
OH COME ON! No film is worth a damn anymore because THE DARK KNIGHT WILL BE THE BEST MOVIE EVER CONCEIVED BY THE MIND OF MANKIND! PERIOD!
So TAKE THAT, THOMAS EDISON!
GOD!
Oh and there were tape hits all over this trailer? What did they use, VHSC! I was waiting for the date and time to start flashing on screen! OH COME ON! GOD! -
...the teaser description fro a few weeks back-anyone remember that?
P.s-said all alog,this will be great and to give McG a chance.
p.p.s-So it's no longer shooting for a Pg13?Anyone got a link?? -
I'm curious!
-
Was shenanigans because nothing in that film really warranted an R Rating. I watched it recently and thought it was tame. The only reason I can see the movie getting an R was because of the nudity, and how it was a man kicking the shit out of a woman for 90 minutes. Other than that I don't get why. Especially when she killed the kids off-screen at the start of the film.
-
reveals some cool robot nastiness!
-
Does anyone know if Brad Fiedel's theme will be in this one? That would at least help it feel like a proper Terminator movie.
-
is whether the script and the direction make you care what happens to the characters involved in the action. McG? Yawn.
-
Spiderman 3 so things are looking up.
-
The story ended with T2. Stuff like T3 and The Sarah Connor Chronicles are no more "official" to me than those books like T2: Infiltrator. They're like those What If? comic books, or those Blade Runner sequel books that nobody gives a shit about, not even the superfans who spent $80 on that Super Mega Ultra Deluxe DVD set that comes in a briefcase. I hope it's an entertaining movie, but it'll be no different than if they a movie version of Blade Runner 2: Deckard's Baadasssss Song.
-
bollox
-
Christian Bale is the ONLY reason to even consider watching a new Terminator movie now! Till I hear reviews from non-fanboys, I actually may pass.
-
maybe the arm coming through the body was gory enough to garner a R, but didn't that survive the TV edition.
-
is a complete retard cuz right now bale is on fire and his agent should win some kind of award. he wouldnt do something shitty, and this does not look shitty. not like that stupid fucking tv show or t3. ive seen shit stains more entertaining
-
Premieres on Empire Magazine's website.
-
A Terminator film not directed by Cameron or Cuaron (what he did with the action scenes in Children Of Men was incredible) is going to be so so if you ask me. Bale is perfect casting. This trailer looks a bit rushed. The effects look solid though. I'll see it if the trailers get better. But there is no way this will hold a candle against T1 or T2. And you can take that to the bank.

I agree with you about Bale's agent. He is giving Bale the career that many actors in Hollywood would bend over backwards for...And many of them have.
-
I CAN GUARANTEE IT'S FAKE!

"Never gonna give you up...Never gonna let you down..."
-
Harry hasn't finished writing the 1,000 words about what Batman means to him, how his nephew had the shit scared out of him by The Joker, what he had to eat before seeing the movie etc.
-
I just visited IMDB to see who'w doing the music, but something else caught my attentin. In the cast as playing the T-800 is Roland Kickinger. Not only is he a dead ringer for Arnold Schwarzenegger, not only is he from Austria, but he is a bodybuilding champion. He was freakin' Mr. Austria. Oh yeah, nobody's listed as scoring the film yet. Weird.
-
I don't care how long it takes for Harry to write his review or what he has to say about it.
I'm seeing it tomorrow at midnight and I am fucking ECSTATIC.
I predict best movie of the year and possibly one of the greatest films of the decade. -
As described on this very site???
It opens with footage of people out in every day life. Christian Bale voiceovers
something like:
"I always knew it would happen"...
Than a pause...
"They told me I could stop it."
The same people begin looking to the sky....
"That I could save us".
Looks of horror come across their faces as he says,
"They were wrong".
Music rises as we cut to black for a second. The Terminator theme starts, with the duh duh,
duh, duh, duh.
NEXT SUMMER appears on the screen...
We get a quick shot looking out over a sunny desert, and then a shot of Bale, in badass commando uniform
and very recognizably the same guy who plays Batman, being lowered into a huge bunker
of weapons.
THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
rolls across, and we get mixed clips from inside one of the survivor bunkers as seen in Terminator 1 - but they look more concentration campish; very crowded, shots of Bale walking with a large crowd. And then the word...
BEGINS.
The music quickly rises as we get shot of a huge truck racing down a high way, a shot or two of a helicopter flying mixed with more close ups of the actors when Bale whispers, "They're coming".
It all goes quiet.
Massive drums blare the beginning of the theme (again) but this time much louder, more pumped up, as we get a metallic silver T that morphs into a 4.
We then get the big money shot of the trailer. Its Bale on a motorcycle with some girl on the back.
They speed through a door of what looks like a warehouse toward us. As soon as they
pass the screen, a huge terminator on wheels, a lot like the one they battle in the
first one, smashes through the wall, chasing them. It looks awesome.
It then says:
Memorial Day 2009.
I was not a big fan of T3 aside from the ending, but this looks really good.
-
I remember the times when X-Men 2 had the decency to just have a ca. 20 seconds teaser months before the release, showing nothing but the x-logo being formed out of whatever. or the teaser for the new Star Trek movie, which is showing nothing but images of the spaceship being assembled... that's classy. Showing all the non-geeks that you're in production now, and wait with the juice images until the movie is actually in sight.
-
Just got it on Blu Ray...yeah, hasn't aged very well...I think with Bale, this has a chance to kick all kinds of ass...
-
Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie based on Arnold's life. It was a straight-to-video cheapie called See Arnold Run. Hehe So cool.
-
"Cuaron (what he did with the action scenes in Children Of Men was incredible)"
right on!! It's also awesome how few cuts are used in Children of men. -
...to be any good. We had seen it all before, with T2. And I just wasn't dark enough. I swore off this movie when I heard it was PG-13, but then my interest got all crazy again when I heard of the casting that's goning around... Bale, Carter... hm. And if Beaks is right and this is an R, consider me officially re-interested. Because that teaser wasn't that bad.
-
That's all I got to say.
-
I wish that Cuaron did more genre films. But I'm worried that after the piss poor way that Warners handled the marketing on that film he's going to have a tough time being given a big budget ever again. But the guy is beast and every penny shows up onscreen. Nolan, Cuaron, Darabont, Cronenberg and Tony Scott are making the most dependable mainstream fare at the moment. I also wish that Verhoeven was thrown a bone every now and then. I've said this before on these boards but it was a crime that he wasn't attached as director to G.I. Joe.
-
Mark Snow's X-Files. Danny Elfman's Batman. John Williams' Superman. and Brad Fiedel's Terminator. i just love that drum beat DU DU DU DU DU followed by the NA NA NAAAAA NA NA NAAA
-
you fuckers aint doing your jobs
-
"and this will be Bales."
Dont ya just hate talkback idiots. Newsies? HELLO?! -
Cyborg 2? Is that a joke?
-
Why would someone trick somebody into watching that? That's not cool.
-
At least to me anyway. It's better that way.
-
It was called Harsh Times. He was the bomb in Newsie yo'.
-
Looks like it will be pretty epic. I'm not a CHARLIE'S ANGELS fan, but I don't hate McG, and Bale has yet to disappoint me. I have no problem giving this movie a chance to impress/entertain.
-
No bring on that Casey Jones spin off movie damnit!
-
I dont't know anything about GI Joe. I also didn't know Cuaron before Children of Men. But this movie surprised me in two ways. One being surprised that I like Clive Owen (since then I liked him in Sin City and Shoot Em Up) and two being what you said about "every penny shows on screen". It's amazing how much the crew got out of the probably limited resources it had. In some scenes you think there is much more going on than actually IS going on. Like towards the end when that tank and some soldiers shoot on the building with the rebels in it. Basically it's not that much gear being used, but the way it is shot it really makes you think you're part of the action and moreover, there's a bigger war/struggle going on around this building/scene.
-
Anyone else think that VO was extra corny?
-
Yeah, I liked that they finally gave you a sense of the T-800's strength and mass. Seeing him swing on the crane and slam into the ambulance like a battering ram was bad-ass.
-
Okay, I'm tired as shit with the choppy M-tv editing..tired, done with it, over it. This trailer was just damned annoying and extremely unimpressive. Will hope the movie is better.
-
Sweet. That was even before Hackers.
-
This film will be rated R, not PG-13? Goddamn I hope so. I really do. The story requires blood, war drama, graphic violence, and soldiers running into battle yelling "fuck you!" None of this would happen with a PG-13 rating. It's been my only criticism of the project.
Let us know, Beaks. Thanks. -
i would seriously fight anybody who talks bad about that teaser...TEASSERRRRR, don't forget it...it showed just enough. That was amazing, seemed as though it was a leaked transmission from the future or something and the cinematography feels alot like part 2.....i regained faith
-
Especially if it ends the way that production leak said it would. The landscapes we see are overly desert like and not like the war scenes from T1 at all. McG is a hack...I don't see how that can be argued.
-
which means FUCK ALL!It's a McG PG-13 Terminator film, get a grip for fucks sake.

with the robot factory is the best teaser ever directed and the sequence isn't even in the movie! this one is just plain dull.
-
i mean the funnest part of the summer is the anticipation... :( you can hurt me now McG, my guard is down
-
before I realized it wasn't for Terminator. duurrrrrp.
for some reason I was doubtful of this movie ever being made, even as new information continued to flow in. its really weird now to see an actual trailer -
The pg-13 was the main thing that scared the crap out of me about a man vs. machine fight of the apocalypse that was gruesome enough to spawn a film trilogy just based on avoiding it. So yeah, the war's gotta be bad
-
What the fuck people?
Seriously, what the hell has this got to do with Terminator?
You guys suck rancid fetid dingo balls. -
pretty damn clever and effective, i don't hear one denial. the preview scripting is clever, at least.
at first i found it annoying until the first repeat of the static riff, i i almost shivered when i realized what they were doing.
also, i'm cool with the desert stuff. not ALL of the american wasteland is populated city, nor does the world of the future exist only at night-time.
so, i'm curious now, show us more. -
they created the atmosphere of dread too well not to know what they are doing.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
I was looking forward to this when I saw *that* trailer -- a super 80s feel to it, and then I thought "fuck, didn't Jack Palance die?"
-
The whole way through I was watching this thinking what a pile of crap. Then it turned out to be Cyborg 2. If that's T4 - it looks really bad.
-
They've only been filming for a few weeks. I don't think this even qualifies as a teaser.
-
DUH DUH duh DUH DUH,
DUH DUH duh DUH DUH
You know, like the theme. It's catchy. -
T3 didn't deserve the R. In the UK it was 12A, which is the equivalent of PG-13, with no cuts, so the R rating in America was bullshit. Does using the word 'fuck' mean an instant R?? You can say 'fuck' a couple of times in a 12A and get away with it.
-
normally shit on peoples opinions but anyone that prefers T3 over T2 is either a moron who deserve to be tied down to a chair A Clockwork Orange style and be forced to watch repeated viewings of meet the spartans.

....or deliberately trying to get a reaction off people

They're really promoting Christian Bale. Last I heard he wasn't in it until the end of the movie and had just a bit part that set up the sequel. I guess I'll have to wait to know for sure.
-
half of the badassness of terminator is the music, YOU HAVE TO GET BRAD!
-
The downed powerline shot had me sold, very early 70s sci-fi. That shot of the puppet coming out of the water-not so much.
-
If you want people to take your ass seriously: #1 CHANGE YOUR FUCKING NAME. Joseph Nichol is a name you can build on. McG is a frat boy from 1995. Get a fucking clue.
-
LOL
Don't know yet, going to wait for the trailer before making my decision. Going to give McG a chance. Especially after watching "We are Marshall" -

...Jack Palance looks good for a mook that's been dead a few years, though.
-
Seriously - if they took the new Terminator films in a completely soft core porn route it'd be the most brilliant decision they could make.
-
yes he does. And so do I !!!
-
looked way better than the robots designs from T3. I don't loathe T3 as many of you do, but I'm glad Stan Winston's last project looks like an honest tribute... unless they saved the shitty designs for the film.
And, octagonproplex: indeed, T2's teaser was great. They knew how to cut a kickass teaser out of nothing back then, instead of shitty "CG animated logo with Don LaFontaine VO" teasers, before giving it all away in the trailers. -
I hate you... And I love you.
-
Action Hero Man
Actually I shouldn't insult Bale. He is a hell of a better actor than Bruce. -
> the saga of terminator ENDED when arnie melted in the steel... much like the story of indy ENDED when he road off into the sunset.
Horseshit. The story "ended" in The Terminator when it was revealed we were in a single time line universe with a loop and no possibility of "changing the future". However, an awful lot of that story hadn't been told.
Hopefully this movie could be that untold story. They just need to ignore the absolute wank that was T2 and T3, which are both impossible storylines in the universe set up by the terminator. THE PHOTO TAKEN AT THE GAS STATION WAS THERE TO PROVE IT WAS A CLOSED TIME LOOP. Geddit? Eh? (Rolls eyes.) -
Is this a joke? Sad thing is, I saw Cyborg 2 a couple months ago... what a SHIT movie! LMFAO. The trailer is great though.
Is this meant to be a joke or was there truly a T4 trailer up somewhere? -
This is coming from a guy who was bored as hell during T2, and hasn't even bothered to see T1 or T3. However, if Bale starred in the Sex and the City movie it would've been enough for me to go see it, so I'll definitely see this (and probably go back and watch the whole trilogy again).
-
If it's PG 13 I won't go. That rating ruined the last Die Hard
-
I was like "wow, they're REALLY paying homage to the original. Music and everything. hahaha.
-
Not exactly how I was envisioning it. I was expecting basically a lot of night action. But I guess Terminators never sleep. It has created some interest for me.
-
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE. Bored by T2/ didn't bother with the other ones... What is that?
Teaser looks good, and suprisingly adultier than I imagined. Hope it's R like Beaks said because all I've heard is otherwise. -
clink on the link to the yahoo one guys http://movies.yahoo.com/premieres/8841507/standardformat/
some stupid has posted the youtube link for cyborg 2 up above now we have people thinking there is no t4 trailer. DUH
-
I'm so there if McG got a time machine and got her to get naked for T4.
-
So Jack Palance was in fact a cyborg sent from the future to entertain us? Awesome!
-
2 hours of the crappiest parts of the first 3 movies (those generic, grungy fights with floating belnder units and stupid looking tanks, and the obligatory "skull under foot" crap)?
Why do we need another post-apocalyptic movie? What made the first three Terminator films so great is that they took place in our "present."
Until I see more, Im not sold on this. -
I guess I was too slow to see the real teaser.
-
It's paced a little slower than a modern action film, but aside from one or two T-1000 shots (which are no worse than an effect on say Heroes), the movie stands up amazingly well for a 17 year-old movie - acting is all decent, yeah Furlong and Schwarzenegger are not the best actors and it feels strained when they are trying to be emotional, but at least the film tries to make you care about it's characters and gives them some motivation and personality, which is more than can be said for 90% of modern action movies.
What elevates it? Cameron's direction and the character of Sarah. That voice over, the melancholy scenes that build a slow sense of foreboding when she sits watching John play with the T800 - its a step above any other film like it. A director like Mostow or McG would have continued to play that scene for laughs (John is high-fiving the Terminator etc.) but Cameron takes a step back and plays Sarah's sadness at seeing her boy having fun when she knows what is ahead for them. It is fucking fantastic - and the reason it's such a shame Cameron has been AWOL from feature films since Titanic. -
This is all we've shot so far.

Now I get how Palance was capable of those push ups @ the oscars
by spencertrilby
makes sense all of a sudden.
-
This Trilogy could technically end with Connor sending Arnie back to T2 timeline to change the future.
The story come full circle and we all can forget about the T-X!
How cool would that be... -
Bale's involvement already lends the project some measure of credibility. He's one of the most interesting and watchable movie stars there is, right now. This teaser doesn't show very much but it has a sense of apocalyptic dread and hints at a new direction in the mythology. I wonder if/how much this movie will tie into THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. I really like that show.
-
No fancy trailer-cutting can put this train back on the tracks.
And all hail Jack Palance. -
Much better than the shitty Van Damme film.
The Muscles from Brussels my ass. -
still step through the frames and there is so much goodness in this one, yup
-
Just grabbed this from the trailer. There are a few quick shots that are literally one frame long. Probably some hidden gems.
Looks like an early model of the T-100 or whatever guarding that human prison camp.
http://tinyurl.com/5tzk82 -
Common is in this???? So i guess they are casting REAL robots now?
-
Get those fellas who did the Matrix sequels to put in a fake Arnie, Neo and Smith looked fantstic. The animation doesn't even need to be realistic, just robotic! Or hell got with prosthetic stuff when you need it like T2 did. Then just get Arnie into a VO recording session and have him say stuff. You'd only need like one take for each line! Nothing that hard...
-
I have to say that I'm not a fan of the "camera chaos" style of filming with split-second edits. I like to be able to see and explore the screen. Trying to figure out a film from a series of burns on the back of my retina just isn't fun.
-
There's never enough of it...Fall Out 3 this fall and this next summer. I'm stoked...McG...this is your dark horse...I can feel it.
-
This looks like a shitty 80's movie.
Damn you, McG! -

Hopefullly This Will Retcon T2: OLD YELLER Out Of Existance
by laserpants
At least T3 is funny and has a hot fetishy chick in it. T2 is a bunch of maudlin, pretentious, unintentionally hilarious, overly self-important nonsense for suburban children (or adult-children) with father issues who haven't quite figured out yet that Guns N' Roses are the very pinnacle of uncool poser bullshit for the lowest common denominator.

He was great in most of the movies you mentioned. Don't bring up Reign of Fire on this site unless you're ready to get pummeled. That's a great film. Read Harry's review for starts.

Translation : "hey you the fan, let us shit on you and your past movies which are OLD and suck, the only reason we remake them is that they SUCKED BALLS in the first place, but we are the genius of the new world, so FUK YA !

-
for those of you that are unaware of this BlackCrippler= the unlamented neo-fascist AnimalStructure/ThunderBalls/ BraneRobot. If he says something is good there is a better than even chance that it is dreadful (He thinks Miami Vice is Mann's best film). Just thought I'd tip you off.
-
...you imbecile, T3-loving, Crap Racer-praising jerk, I got two words: Fuck. Off.
-
If this is true and he wants to change his name but thinks he can't because it's mid career then this says 2 things about him: 1)He's a studio stooge with no balls- he can't even pick his own fucking name for chrissakes. This in turn means that this will be rammed full of focus group/ marketing decisions. 2)He has no judgement, in that he thought picking a twattish moniker like McG (I am aware of the irony here) would be a good idea for a director. So couple his appaling judgement to his complete lack of spine and you have the AvP Terminator. Enjoy.
-
I was about 14 when this was released and actually liked GnR. THe fact I'm cynical and old now doesn't mean that at the time they weren't good. Seriously, picking bands that you think will last is nigh on impossible. At the time GnR were not as bad as you make out.
-
...back then they were pretty cool. The music is still...err...solid.
-
And 4?
-
Saw them at Wembley back in July of I think 1992 (could've been '91 - I was young then, and very drunk) on the USE YOUR ILLUSION TOUR. Support bands were Soundgarden (whose biggest hit then were "Jesus Christ pose" and "Spoonman") followed by Faith No More, who ended their set having Mike Patton run from one end of the lengthy Wembley stage to the other, launch head-first into the massive projector screen and knocked himself out. It was an all-day event, and hands-down the greatest concert I've ever been to, before or since. GUNS'n'ROSES rock - maybe not to the kids of today, but they all like MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and MADINA LAKE so what the fuck do they know!
Also nice to see some CYBORG 2 love too - it's been years since I saw that movie :D -
What Kusanagi said. Though I agree T3>T2 (and I accept my minority status in saying that) you're just saying some dumb shit about GnR. They were the pinnacle of rock back in '91, before grunge came along and made self-pitying whining cool. I can't imagine fucking someone to the strains of Nevermind; you can't imagine NOT fucking to the Appetite for Destruction album! Rock = sex, and that makes GnR ROCK!!!
-
McFuck off.
and I actually LIKED the two Charlie's Angels movies (they're great when you realise they're live action cartoons, and just go along with them), so I say this with great respect for your extremely limited talents.
You don't rock, McG. So McFuck off, and take that ridiculous nickname with you. You're not fucking 12 any more. -

Didn't get a sense of how this will look. Too manic!
by harryblackpotter
I hope it's awesome, I really do, but until I see more from the movie, I'll reserve judgement.
-
good start...
-
I actually agree with a lot of what he says about T2. But there is more than enough awesomeness in it to make up for Robodaddy. It is better than T3, comfortably, and picking on GnR is not one of it's biggest flaws- how many movies have soundtracks that look horribly naff ten years later? I'd bet a lot- especially from the 80's.
-
Suddenly, Joseph Nichol is taken seriously as a director. Just as suddenly, T4 bombs. TBers: Change your name back to McG you fucking hack you fucking deserved that stupid name fuckfuckfuck!01101
Joseph Nichol is ghey name neway fuckcck
This guy's name is irrelevant to how this movie will do. Fixing that doesn't fix the disaster everyone assumes it'll be. -
Why would anyone want him in this.
They had better find some big scary bastards to play Terminators. Ah fuck it just make digital or animatronic Arnies. Get him to phone in the handfull of dialogue required. -
it isn't irrelevant- because it represents an apalling lack of judgement, a willingness to be a studio stooge, and a juvenile mentality. All things that anyone with eyes can see are present and correct in his shitty fucking films.
-
...one of those funny situations in life where this movie turns out to be really good? I actually want this work, I love T1, T2 is very good, I enjoyed some of the action in T3 and am glad the ending took the story full circle, think the Sarah Connor Chronicles is interesting, has potential and retconned the story fairly well and think Bale is an outstanding actor. The only reason I am sceptical...MCG! Those Charlies Angels films are truly, truly awful. This film needs a director with vision, not that bloke. There's a storm coming...

Is it okay if I am kinda interested in seeing it now...
by gaiusthebrave

So how can you say it was crap? I mean, look, if you saw it, and thought it was crap, thats fine, but you never saw it and hated it anyway? Thats almost as retarded as T2: WE WUV WOO ROBODADDY! Almost.
-
Come on people. I'm as skeptical about MCG as the next guy, but there was nothing not to like in that teaser. Honestly.
-
Dude, Nirvana fucking saved rock and roll from the preening hair n' spandex wanker bands like Guns N' Posers. Truly, Nirvana emerged from the underground of the 80s which had better bands (Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Minutemen, et al), but they were able to take that spirit -- the spirit of true, artfully done, rock / punk / post-punk -- and keep it real while bursting through to the mainstream. What did GnR do? Tease their hair, sing about hookers, and do their best to keep it shit. There is no difference AT ALL between Guns and Posers and Poison.
But hey, at least we agree that T3>T2: OLD YELLER. -
You know how much I love how bent out of shape people when I tear T2 apart. It's hilarious! But you walk right into it every time! Haha! You rule, dude. Good luck with the schizophrenia, though. Hopefully one day you'll realize that your entertainment choices are separate from you and not take this stuff so personally; then you won't seem so silly and won't keep falling into the same trap over and over and over and over again...
-
I am on a government computer and they are barebones. I have to wait until I get home....FUCKFUCKFUCK.
-
" I am at least happy they apparently ditched the stupid theme from T3 that everything is destined to play out like it is supposed to after the first two movies used the theme of “No fate is but what you make of it”. " In fact I think that only T2 used this theme. In T1 Kyle is not send to save the planete from the war, he is in fact back in 84 to save the futur human leader... Kyle even said that there's no way to stop the war, it's not his mission. In T2 Cameron goes the opposit direction, and even if T2 is a good movie I think T3 is more in "T1 mood" (exept that the first half is a kind of T2 remake)
-
Ok, I keed, I keed. Actually, I still think you're a moron. But maybe more like an intellectual moron. Sorry that I didn't like PEED RACER, I guess I never will.Btw, T2 fucking rocks! Ever will!
-
Was fuckin' awesome... just sayin...
-
I love Kevin Conroy's voice but Bale is able to put if off... nothing wrong with Shaft... fun movie... Reign of Fire was fun too... Bale hasn't really made a bad movie... and I personally liked Equilibrium... wasn't that shitty! Better than the Matrix sequels... T3 was good too... loved the ending.
-
boy did that suck.
-
Only that it looked like a great movie that made the best of its low budget but in fact was a high budgeted pic that didn't seem to know what to make with all the money. There was much too less epic action going on and too much low scale action.
-
I do think dismissing T4 sight out of hand is kinda short sighted. I mean, it's waaay too early to tell, but ever since T1 all I've wanted to see is the Future War and know we'll finally get to see it. I don't think that PG-13 is a deal-breaker. It could still work. Apparently TDK is crazy dark and mean and sadisitic and that got a PG-13. LOTR as well managed to be ass-kickingly cool as well and that was PG-13. McG might be kind of a putz, but if the script is good, and the action is cool, and we get all sorts of awesome large scale future war stuff, it could be really awesome. Also, Bale as Connor is so friggin' perfect. Haven't you wanted to see John Connor in action as the bad ass General since T1? I know I have. I'm definitely willing to give this a chance.
I just hope they get rid of the Marcus idea because that sounds totally stupid. -
If you see it and hate it, thats fine, but don't just hate it because you didn't like the trailers. If you were a fan of he original show, you'll love the movie. If you didn't care for the original show, I don't think there's much in the movie for you. Thats why it bombed, nobody gave a shit except a relatively small audience; its a cult movie.
-
Thanks dude. Haven't even heard of this Pathfinder flick. Straight to dvd?
Anyhoo, yeah teaser is looking good for t4, but still wait and see for the trailer. You can only tell with so much shaky cam footage, quick cuts and terminator theme. Great merciful crap, i hope mcg can pull this off. -
So to say Bale hasn't done anything bad isn't accurate then yes? I loved Equilibrium and pretty much everything I've ever seen Bale in (I've totally adopted/copped "I need to return some video tapes" from AP as it's just a kick ass anti-one-liner). And even tho many of you hate 'We Are Marshall", aside from its rather forced sentimentality, it seemed like a well put together film. Outside of crazy beautiful Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore, I fucking hated the Charlie's Angels movies...but the name has got to go. His reasoning is bullshit too...its a psuedo-self-deprecating way of saying "Nope, not gonna change it" and that's his right. But it's also my fucking distraction when the credits role and a American director's name pops up with no fucking vowels in it. Guy's like over 40 years old right...and goes by his childhood nickname. I wonder how many of you insist people call you by your childhood nicknames? If your actual name was "Douchebagfuck McGinty" then I might understand the change. I say credit yourself like this "Joseph 'McG' McGinty". We've all seen those nickname quotes and they're all interesting and even if 'McG' is an obvious nickname...its still ludicrous and pretentious to go by that nickname in a professional manner and NOT be in hip-hop music. Use McG for directing rap videos ass...use your full fuckin name with the nick in the center for film work. Either that or deal with the assault on your moronic moniker jackass.As for T4? 2 words: not necessary. My hope? That I'm proven wrong. Altho even if I am, I still think the guy's name is dumbfuck stupid.

Hmm, I don't think that I'm actually going to LIKE it...
by motoko kusanagi
...when I watch it a SECOND time, but who knows. But I can't imagine that I'm able to look past those horrible chimp jokes. Every time I see that fucker on screen I wanna put that bastard into a sack, toss the sack into a river and hurl that river into space.
I don't think that a PG-13 T4 will work simply because we need some major ass kickery in a future war movie named T4 which is about annihiliating the human race. Just try to remember the future war scenes we got so far: people are explicitly getting shot and even explode. I don't think that we're going to see such stuff in a fucking teenie Terminator flick. Maybe it'll work somehow (nah, it's Mc-fucking-G) but I simply wish that those pussified studio execs opted for a hard R, with blood'n'guts. -
Jul 17, 2008 2:24:03 PM CDT
Motoko, You Never Saw SPEED RACER / You've Seen LOTR, Right?
by laserpants
We've already gone over this before. I can't remember the talkback, but you brought up several things you didn't like about SPEED RACER that NEVER happened in the movie! The only things you did remark upon that were in the movie were also in the trailer and that was it. Remember? Look its okay to admit you didn't see it. But, eventually, when you actually do see it, you very well may hate it, but you should at least see the movie before you decide you hate it. I mean I think T2 sucks, but at least I saw it.
On the ratings thing, I agree hard-R would be much, MUCH better, but I don't think the PG-13 is a deal breaker. Again, look at LOTR. That was a pretty violent series of movies, and they were all PG-13. I mean even when they show any of the Terminator movies on TV, the scenes you're talking about are uncut, so why wouldn't they show stuff like that in a PG-13 movie?
Again, I agree that a hard-R T4 would be the best way to go, but it ain't gonna happen. Thats a bummer, but its not a deal breaker, at least not for me. -
...the freedom to show copious amounts of sangria and more than one "Fuck". In LOTR, with nary a modern profanity was not particularly bloody either. Neither of which is remotely necessary for such a classic and noble tale...Terminator movies, on the other hand, are without question more violent, more gritty, more profance, and more bloody! Once upon a time we argued for bush and boobs longer than a glance...now we just want reality in the context of our fantasy. LotR has no room for hyper amounts of blood nor profanity...it wasn't in the source material so it wasn't in the films. Ironically, the Rings films met the PG-13 demands without being compromised at all (unless story content leading to longer films counts! Where did you go Tom Bombadil?!?!) but to compare the rating process to the Terminator films is apples/oranges. Terminator begs for a pure 'R' rating and to do anything less, by definition, removes the films soul....where people say "FUCK!" when there friends get blown up by a phase plasma pulse-laser, in the 40-watt range.Maybe you're right and it's not a deal-breaker...but when I consider the reason is for wider release and a larger return from the kiddie demographic (when I was a kid I SNUCK into R film..saw Aliens in the theater that way fer chrissakes!)..I think it's being done purely for marketing...which is bullshit. The spirit of the genre (or, in this case, franshice) and creative integrity should always come first.Opinions aside, I really liked Cloverfield except for one thing...there's just no way in hell that all that shit would be going on an the only cussword they use is "Shit".What we ought to be talking about is how the rating system is totally fucked...unelected, unrepresentative asswipes decide the fate of a movie and sometimes its entire market simply with their arbitrary and typically hypocritical ratings (why is saying "Fuck" 2 times in any movie worse than straight up violence? are these squares still scared of the naughty bits? We puritan wanna-bes go apeshit when a boob pops on screen..kids are ruined for life...civilation as we know grinds to a halt...but violence? YUM YUM GIMME SUM!!!!!"I do hope a PG-13 T4 works...but before the potential for gimping the movie...I'm more worried its not another Michael Bay-esque action shitfest with larger and larger explosions and shiny mechanical robots blowins shit up with even bigger explosions and fire.

WTF? Is he going Jack Klugman on us?
No disrespect Oscar. -
AICN mad a thread about it being pg-13 right? McG took a lot shit from the geek community, I think the least you guys could do is make a thread about it being R. Don't get me wrong I don't like the guy, but at least help curve the negativity surrounding this project since he was announced director.
-
1) His tastes in movies and what he values in movies are horrible.
2) His tastes and values in music are equally as horrible.
3) Hay you know what G&R did not do? They were not so week that they killed them selfs for some self pitty bullshit. That is one of the many, many reasons why G&R rules even to this day. -
A week is 7 days. And given that, I agree that GunsN'Posers isn't a week, they're just a really shitty band of posers in hairspray and spandex.Pwned!
-
Are you sure you're not retarded Sidepocket? Must be all the "rockin' out" you do to Guns N' Posers. Don't you know that shitty music rots the brain?One more thing, "hay" is what horses eat. The word you want to use is "hey". Man, you make it too easy!
-
I can certainly understand why you were bored during the juvenile dumbfest that was T2. But do watch The Terminator, it's a genuinely brilliant low-budget movie. T3 is just popcorn hokum, enjoyable enough if you don't take it seriously. (T2 has already ballsed the story up by this point, so it doesn't matter too much.)
-
I'm afraid to say he appears to be one of the few sane people in geekdom. Seriously, why do so many people love T2? It's embarrassingly bad. Even ignoring its horrible logic non sequiturs, it's a BAD, BAD MOVIE. An overlong, mechanical, uninventive movie-by-numbers with an annoying kid at its heart and weak schamltz a-plenty. Maybe most of the people who loved it watched it when they were ten years old. Certainly I suspect that most people who love T2 saw it before they saw The Terminator.

Just scrap your search function. I'v been coming here since around '99, 2000, and it HAS NEVER FUCKING WORKED. Having it there is just a tease. It's passive aggressive. I try it about once a year, thinking you may have fixed it, but nope, this is the one corner of the internet universe that has never been able to unravel the mystery of website html search functions.
And Hey, we're all net-savvy enough these days to just search on google for anything we're looking for, so not only is it a useless carbuncle taking up space, it's obsolete, too.
Hear me! You know this post is worth a thousand others, that just haven't bothered commenting. -
Finally someone with some sense. I suspect the same thing, btw, that people who are psychotically obsessed with T2 saw it when they were very youngm saw it before they saw T1 (the only classic of the bunch, btw) and love it more out of a sense of nostalgia than anything else. Thats what STAR WARS is like for me -- I saw it when I was 5 years old in the theatre and it blew my mind. I still love it, even though now its more a love born of nostalgia. I think if I had been older and had more perspective when I saw it, I would have thought it was cheesy.

"Bitches, leave!" is also one of the greatest lines of dialogue in film history. Clarence Boddeker fucking rules!

Better than T1 or T2? That's crazy. Robocop is decent, but it isn't a major landmark in cinema history like Cameron's films were.
To be fair, Starship Troopers was so absolutely horrible that it has contaminated everything related to Verhoeven for me. -
was Angelina Jolie's first film , I think - no?

...of SHUT THE FUCK UP?!? You fucking monkey.T2 is far from being an "uninventive movie-by-numbers", you whiny pussified teenie fucknut. Now go back and watch the fucking Power Rangers you love so dearly.

I don't think that. You do. Or if you're not AnimalStructure then I apologise.

You're wrong, and you're a grotesquely ugly freak.

...is a a work of total genius. Borderline madness, certainly, but genius nonetheless.
