Chyna to be T-femme in T3'

Published at:  Nov 28, 2000 4:41:09 AM CST

Hey folks, Harry here with an unconfirmed whisper that WWF and Playboy Gal, Chyna will be kicking Arnie's metal boned butt in TERMINATOR 3. It seems that it is the WWF's fate to take over Hollywood... But ya know... the visual oomph of a female terminator that was more... diminutive... like say Holly Hunter (hehehehe) would be more fun... I definitely would be more afraid of Chyna... after all she could pop your head like a grape between those thighs of hers... And since the script's dialogue and plot isn't up to snuff... why find great or even experienced actors? At least they won't be wasting too much talent on this one. Sigh...




Hi,

I have sources inside Mario Kasser's office that he and Arnold
Schwarzanegger wants 3 time WWF Intercontintial champion Chyna to play the
role of a female terminator in T3. Kasser is in talks with thw WWF beauty to
join the cast in April when filming starts.

"THE ONE".

    They could make it a musical. They could do a remix of 'Orinoco Flow' called, say, 'Molten Metal Flow'. Yeah. You know you want to see this more than some dumb WWF wrestler.

    ...filming was meant to start in February? Is it me, or is this being pushed further and further back (mounting problems maybe?). I have high hopes for this one, ungrounded maybe, but I still think they MAY do one of my favourite sequels of all time justice. It can't possibly be worse than Alien Resuurection...Can it?

    Does this mean the next Terminator film will be pay-per-view?

    by ol' painless

    Oh great. And I bet they want to rewrite the final confrontation between them as well. Instead of two killing machines soundlessly going about the task of terminating one another in the most efficient manner possible, we get extra inserted scene: EXT - NIGHT - BATTLESCARRED WASTELAND: Chyna 2000 grabs a microphone out of the wreckage.
    CHYNA 2000: LEMME TELL YA SOMETHING, T-800. I'M GONNA INTRODUCE YOU TO NEW SENSATIONS OF FEAR. OF PAIN. OF SUFFERING. THIS SATURDAY NIGHT (call 0800 SUCKERS PAY), ALL YOU MISERABLE HUMAN TRASH WILL KNOW THE POWER OF MY MUSCULAR GLUTEUS MAXIMUS DESCENDING UPON YOU FROM ABOVE. MY STRIATED LATISSIMUS DORSI FLEXING INTO SOMETHING THAT LOOKS VAGUELY LIKE A CONDOM FILLED WITH WALNUTS. MY OVER-DEVELOPED PECTORALS WHICH MAKE UPPER BODY TRANSFORM INTO WHAT IS STRANGELY AKIN TO TWO BEARS WRESTLING UNDER A BLANKET WHEN I STRIKE MY "MOST MUSCULAR" POSE. YOU HEAR ME, T-1000? GET READY FOR THE AG-" And so on for another 3 pages or so. My apologies to Chyna fans, it not actually her I'm getting at in this failed attempt at humour. What she does for a living, she does very well. I'm just pointing out what I think might happen to the atmosphere of the Terminator franchise if they start bringing in pro wrestlers. Even if she doesn't say a word, thing will seem a bit too different. A bit too sport\entertainment, and not really part of the Terminator universe. But I suppose I ready to be convinced otherwise . . . . as long as there are lots of guns and explosions and car chases and high-technology and guns and explosions . . .

    by pogo on my own

    good lord she is ugly, and to think that she posed nude in a magazine. I wonder how much airbrushing they had to do erase the penis and stubble. I think it would be much more interesting to have a terminator that is not a musclebound beast, but a softer feminine terminator. A male terminator or a robot of some sort would be a much better idea.

    Female Terminator's rule.

    by scott ridley

    Personally, I think Diane Keaton has been greatly over-looked for role's like this; just imagine her analazing her feeling's and forcing Arnie to listen at gunpoint (obviously) maybe she could accuse him of lacking commitment to terminating in general and how she felt misunderstood, unfulfilled and harassed as Female terminator in a very male orientated profession.She could really do some damage if she explained in (tedious repedative) detail her need to express herself as a woman and not just a terminator.To really finish him off she could ask him where he saw their relationship as terminator's going in the future and if he could see himself becoming a daddy terminator, raising two maybe three young terminator's ; one of each.Face it, Ahnaold wouldn't stand a chance aginst something like that.

    Subtlety of a Sledgehammer

    by funny ha ha

    Typical Hollywood - rather than put their faith in a decent sci-fi script, they'd rather guarantee a certain audience's attendence with someone whose only qualification is her body size. Do the demographics of the Terminator movies and the WWF really overlap that much? I don't credit the T-movies as "deep," but you can at least wade in them versus the impossibility of even getting wet watching an episode of the WWF. It's the violent equivalent of Love Boat. I'm not ranking the WWF crowd, but you have to admit it's not PBS NewsHour. I using Chyna is like electing Gopher to the U.S. Congress! Or Cooter from the Dukes of Hazaard! I LIKE the idea of a small woman for the T3 role - it would be more frightening if some awesome power were released by a smallish robot. That's why the last terminator worked so well - it wasn't robocop versus an even bigger robot. That's so cheap and simple, it's like the Justice League villains. I'd rather see Chynna Phillips that the talentless wrestler skank.

    Chyna could be good

    by nitflegal

    Actually, Chyna could make a good Terminator. After all, Arnie made a great terminator in the first film and all that he has is charisma and minimal acting ability (as he proves most every time that he tries). Chyna has done well on Third Rock, and certainly has charisma. Plus, unless they start scouring the Ms Olympia ranks for terminators with no acting experience (Lesa Lewis!) Chyna is about the prettiest "name" bodybuilder out there. And she is pretty, in a very hard way. Actually, my only beef would be that she's lost a lot of muscle since she first came on the scene, I wonder if they'd make her put it back on.

    Besides, having a daughter with the genetic predisposition to look like a crew-rower, I rather like her as a contrast for the anorexic twigs that we generally get on TV. It's nice to have someone for a kid to identify with besides a walking orthopedic anatomy chart!

    And it will never be Nicole Bass. She's a nice lady, but she doesn't have the face for Hollywood.

    I realize that wrestlers can make
    interesting characters for a

    is stretching it. Ah-nuld is
    probably still reeling from seeing
    6th Day go down hard to the Grinch and his judgement on this
    is still a bit shaky. I don't
    know, this just doesn't seem right. And yes, Tyler Mane made a
    great Sabretooth due to his being
    a perfect physical match but the
    female terminator is an original
    character. Maybe Hudson Leick or
    Lucy Lawless would be better for
    the part. Hell, even Bjork would
    be a better choice than Chyna.

    Almen Wong should be female terminator

    by vksjd

    Almen Wong, the HK actress from "Her Name is Cat" should be the female terminator. In the book "Hollywood East," she said to play a female terminator was a dream role for her. Admittedly, "Her Name is Cat" wasn't the greatest HK movie ever, but Almen was great in it. She has charisma, intensity, an athletic but not unfeminine body, has prior acting experience, can do stunts and fighting, and would provide that cool dimunitive but butt-kicking factor.

    It seems like everytime i say this to a wrestling fan ( notice I'm not saying all wrestling fans are the same ) they defend her femininity with the same ferocity that they did 15 years ago when I would question the legitimacy of wrestling as a sport. Maybe I'm wrong but either way this is a bad idea. The only thing that could make this movie worse is if they dress everyone up like a New York fashion monkey and have them do John Woo style kung fu while cheesy techno music plays in the back. Maybe the directors could avoid any unnecessary embarassment and release "The Matrix 2" and "Tee-Three" as one film.

As much as I liked T2, there was no need for it. It only made the timeline more confusing.

    Helloooo, has anybody seen Arnold's last 3 movies? haven't all of them tanked at the box office? What we have here is a last desperate attempt from a fading icon to reclaim some of his former 80's glory when these kind of movies ruled at the box office. If they want to do some revolutionary casting, they should cast sly stallone as the terminatrix. You'd be killing 2 birds with one stone because he needs a hit even worse than Arnold does and I'm sure he'd be a more convincing woman than Chyna is.

    Chyna would make a good choice for the female terminator. IF, 1)they don`t let her speak, 2)Arnie would play the terminator`s human designer so she could kick some real human butt, and 3) if they could somehow use GCI so she looked like she did before the ton of plastic surgery, i.e. frightening.

    This chick is evil. I can't stand to hear her voice.

    by maynard

    But is it a chick? The silicone doesn't fool me. She's got more testosterone in her to grow 'nads on her face. Her voice makes you want to peel the skin from your face. She would make this movie totally laughable. This is almost along the lines of actually making a scooby-doo movie. Pick any other wooden actor, just not someone with the actual presence and essence of a concrete representation of gnarly fingernails running along a blackboard. This movie will be worse than Spider-man. No organic web shooters Raimi!!!! Ya freak!!! Why would anyone be interesdted in it if the director goes against a huge petition from fans? Hmmmm. Maybe he's an asshole?

    by castor777

    You know I'd love to just say something that could make you all think that this film might be actually a great film; but that's relatively impossible, it's gonna suck. Yea, wrestlers have made descent appearances in films, but they've made downright horrible ones too. How the fuck do some of these people get past casting directors? Does a director seriously think he can turn a wrestler into an actor with no prior experiance other than act like a hard ass? Regardless of who gets the part the film is still gonna suck. However, I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I think Franka Potente would make a kick ass terminator. But then again I just want to see her run around again - with the camera following her from behind... =D

    Actually, I know the true plot of Terminator 3

    by jomafum

    Freddie Prince Jr. and Sean Young are a mother and son visiting their cousins Bo & Luke Duke in post-apocalyptic Hazard County, TX (Did you know there really is a place called Hazard? It's not in Texas, though.) Bo, played by Keanu Reeves is the dark haired cousin, and Bathazar Getty, with a bleach job is Luke. They drive an Orange Road warrior-type car with the Texas flag painted on the top. They call the car "The Genr'l Dubya" after the former US prez who accidentally got us into a nuclear war with India because someone told him the Indians were protesting ill-treatment by the BIA in Wyoming. Rounding out the cast is Demi Moore as Daisy, whose pivotal scene involves her masturbating in a metal tub while a red bird and Kyle Mchlachlan peer in through a slit in the wall, and Edward Furlong, in a fake white beard and overalls as Uncle Jesse. The plot thickens when Chyna the T-3000 goes in with Boss Hogg (Harry Knowles) and Roscoe P. Coltraine(Dan Rather) on a sinister plot to use a hologram projection of the OG terminator (Ahnuld) to scare Freddie and Sean away from the gold mine they've come to Texas to claim. You see, China & Hogg et al want to make an amusement park called "Slave-Land!" where paying guests will come to experience the chills and thrills of slave life in the 1800's. Co-sponsored by Disney, Slaveland! can only be built if Freddie and Sean sign over their gold claim. Highjinks ensue. Suddenly when things start to look really desperate, a black van with a red spoiler on the back pulls into town. It immediately gets into a car chase involving the Genr'l Dubya and Roscoe, and consists of some jumping over rivers and spinning around on dirt roads. Roscoe sputters to Flash, his two headed dog, played by the Olsen twins via some nifty CGI, "I'm a long distance runner and an all day hunter, cue cue cue!" Roscoe crashes his police car into a tree, and he gets on the CB and calls Cletus (Drew Carey) a dipstick. On the other side of the river the doors of the Van open, and out pops the A-team, except that Hannibal is dead and has been replaced with the cigar smoking Ahnuld. Rounding out the A-Team are of course, Mr. T as BA, Robin Williams as Murdock, and Kevin Bacon as Face. They team up with the Dukes and Freddie and Sean to defeat the evil Chyna/Hogg/Disney/Slaveland! axis. Before the battele there are many shots of BA's ring covered fingers blow-torching some cool shit together. At the end of the film, all the villains crash into a rocky cliff in their helicopter, it bursts into flames and plummets 300 feet as Ahnuld pumps it full of machine gun bullets. When it hits the ground, it explodes again. Then all the villains climb out of the helicopter, coughing. As they're rounded up and handcuffed, Ahnuld pops the stogie into his mouth and says, all together now, "Ah love eet when a plan comes togedah!"

Finally, I figure Kyle will be able to work with me two-three days tops before he walks because I'm of the John Huston-John Milius - Oliver Stone-Walter Hill- James Cameron school of hard ass directors who usually make great films. Therefore, the producers will have to hire my friend Nick to handle all rewrites. He went to USC but we won't hold that against him. And my friend Lenny is going to edit the thing. He went to UCLA, so he's okay.

She was cool though I'm not denying that but not my choice for T3. My choice for the T-whatever (does it have to be called by its number??) is Pink. LOL...she would just be cool. BTW remember that only living stuff can pass through time like the Terminators do and im not in a big rush to see Chynas oddly shaped jugs or that one-eyed wonder worm named willy that we all know dangles between her testosterone-stuffed thighs. Maybe Pink's carpet matches her curtains...speaking of that.....I wonder if macy gray can act....

    Michelle Yeoh as T3

    by nixkuroi

    Man, if it's going to be a woman, why not make it lithe action star Michelle Yeoh. Not only is she attractive, she can kick ass. The T3 Terminator should be better than the T1000...more graceful. Does anyone here think that Chyna is graceful? Michelle Yeoh would be perfect because they could say that, just like in Contact, another Skynet was built in Asia. When this one was destroyed, the backup went into production. That would kick all ass!

    How About Those Chicks From Friends

    by wallywinkle

    The three cloying chicks from the Friends sitcom could be put through a blender (they're barely distinguishable from each other anyway) and made into one female Terminator. Instead of doing a molten metal morph to make it through obstacles they could unblend, chat, cry, fight, make up, hug and thus kill any interest anyone could have in watching T3.

    And the only valid point against Joanie Laurer (Chyna) that I have spotted
    here so far is the fact that she looks way to unusual for an infiltration unit.

    (Common people... Calling her a ugly guy is not only
    unoriginal and stupid, but most of all just wrong)

    Do you remember when they casted Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (X-Men)?

I think T3 will probably be good though as long as this rumor isnt true....one thing about thee infiltration unit idea though is that skynet probably wants to win the war so much they wouldnt need to make it look normal (for 2029 standards at least), because it could be special for going to the past. Also, female terminators that would be for infiltration wouldnt work because i'm not too sure there would be many female soldiers in the resistance, and you u would know the ones from around your area by their face anyhow.....right???LOL....word to your mother

    In another Talkback, I mentioned how strong the positive vibes are that I'm getting for TOMB RAIDER, how everything seems to be coming together on that film. With T3 . . .I get the opposite. Granted, new-model Chyna looks much better then before (not quite as, um, butch); still this doesn't change the fact that she's not an actor. And for this thing to work, EVERYTHING--cast, director, locations, FX and especially script--has to be spot on. So far, from all I've been reading of it, it's not. If this film turns out to be entertaining on any level above PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, it will be a stone miracle. Oh, hey, there's an idea-why not cast Stone Cold Ste--never mind.

    Reply to Talkback

  • Heh, heh, heh. Where should I begin in picking apart all this misinformed, clueless bashing of Chyna and the WWF? Let's see, how about this: First off, I love how all the "polite" fanboys start off with, "now, I don't mean to pick on you WWF fans, but..." and then you proceed to badmouth Chyna and the WWF all the way to holy hell. Secondly, I keep seeing this recurring theme of "Chyna's a guy" and other such prebuscent drivel. It's a given that most of the geeky, pimply faced snotnoses who live on these talkbacks 24/7 spend way too much time masturbating into their underoos over images of Lara Croft and Famke Jansen as Mystique. Sadly, you misguided boys are not to blame. It's the entertainment industry that has hypnotized you into believing that unless a woman has this look of a computer generated, only-in-the-stroke-magazines type of look, then they're ugly or worse, masculine. To this thinking person's eye (and yes, I do think quite well, thank you, I watch the WWF, enjoy it immensely, and also hold down a job and go to college...so much for the sterotype that wrestling fans are idiots...)Chyna is attractive in a Xena sort of way. Granted, she's not everybody's cup of tea, but Joanne Laurer, Chyna's real name, has busted her well defined ass to rise from being ridiculed, even among her peers, to being accepted. Along the way, she's been able to pretty herself up without losing the characteristics that made her who she is. It's called sacrifice and dedication, little boys, something maybe you can learn about when you get bored with your little video games.
    As to the issue of the WWF and the hard working entertainers from that fine organization getting involved in acting:
    I'm all for it. You see, no organization produces harder working, more dedicated performers then the WWF. These hearty men and women are on the road, 300 days out of year, putting on the best brand of show biz there is. Sure, the "mainstream media" would have you believe that the WWF is low-brow, ignoramous programming designed only for the so-called "trailer park trash" sterotypes that I just blew out of the water. The truth is, the "mainstream media" hates the WWF because the WWF outperforms, outentertains and basically outclasses all the other so-called "legitimate" entertainment entities out there. It's a bit disheartening to see that so many of the fanboys who spend more time writing these talkbacks then they probably do talking to their parents have bought into that fairty tale, hook, line and sinker, but hey, ten thousand hours of staring at Lara Croft's computer generated buttocks does that to your brain, right, Fanboys? I have to laugh when I hear the old ignorant arguments that "wrasslin's not real, it's just dumb, duh," when the truth is, yes, wrestling is fake, just as Bruce Campbell is faking it in the Evil Dead movies (knew that one would get your attention, Fanboys) or as fake as Buffy kicking the crap out of a vampire (are you listening now, generation Mallrats?). You see, it's called acting, and for the hardworking men and women of the World Wrestling Federation, they do it, and do it well, frequently. So, having said all of that, who better to appear in action films then WWF stars? Now, I'm not saying that Meryl Streep should start playing roles opposite the Rock, but, for high impact, action filled epics, one WWF Superstar is worth a thousand of your Freddie Prinze Jr.s or Sarah Michelle Gellars.
    People enjoy the WWF (and make no mistake about it, Fanboys, there's a hell of a lot more of US WWF fans then there will ever, eeeeeeeeeeevvvvvver be of you!)not because they're unintelligent, but because in two hours of WWF programming, you can see what would take you six to ten hours of so called "legitimate" entertainment elsewhere. Action, Comedy, Intriguing Storylines, Sexy Bodies to Look At. Yep, the WWF has it all, while the rest of the "real entertainment" community can only pound their head off their reserved table at Spago's, wondering what in the hell they're doing wrong.
    So, to sum up, dear foolish Fanboys, whether or not Chyna appears in T3, if it ever gets made at all, is a moot point. The fact is, the WWF is here in America to stay, and whether you like it or not, get used to it, because the WWF is going to be around a LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGGG time!

    You can all go back to your Tomb Raider games now.

    Have a Nice Day!

    by psychozai

    Thank you cinematt, you put everything in your post that I was thinking after reading some of those posts. I am so terribly tired of hearing crap from people that don't even watch or know what is going on in the WWF. "oh, it's stupid" "oh, they're faking it, no one actually gets hurt" "the only people that watch it are ignorant hicks that don't know any better" You know what? You people need to lighten up. It' s great entertainment. It has everything I would have thought most of you guys would love: sex and violence. But, it also has the characters and story line that I love. My husband and I do not fit the "norm" of what most people seem to expect WWF fans to be. We're both in our early 30's, my husband is a Project Superintendent for a construction company, and I work as a lab technician for a surgeon. And, we both love the WWF. People, it's great fun! Can't you just enjoy something for the sake of enjoyment? You get to cheer for the good guys and boo the bad guys, and every one is scantily clad. What could be better? No, it's not brain surgery, but so what? Who needs something really deep and meaningful after a terrible day at work? Give me mindless entertainment any time! I honestly don't understand why some of you people hate it and the wrestlers so much. Especially Chyna, for gods sake. (by the way, YES you idiots that keep running your mouths about it, she is a she. Shut up about that. You're being incredibly annoying. SHE IS A SHE. She does not have an adams apple, she just naturally has narrow hips, SHE'S A SHE! Stop being stupid.) She's such an unbelievably hard working and honestly nice person. She had a terrible childhood that she had to fight her way out of, and working out happened to be her way of exerting some control over her life. So shut up. And I happen to think she's very beautiful, in an incredibly strong and bold type of way. Where is the law written that only 5'8 blondes with big boobs are the only women guys can find attractive? Life would be pretty boring if we all liked the exact same thing, don't you think? Diversity makes the world go round, people. So what if her acting skills aren't the best? As has been mentioned, Arnold pretty much sucked acting-wise in the first one. And I could say the same about any number of stars in Hollywood. What is wrong with some of you people? Why do you keep saying such horrible things about someone? Are you just so miserable in your own lives you have nothing better to do than tear other people down for no reason? Grow up. The men and women of the WWF work very hard for not that much pay, no retirement and normally no insurance benefits. They do it because they love performing, and they do it for their fans. I respect them for that, and I take great exception to you jerks that talk so horrible about people that I admire. These people work incredibly hard for a living and I think it's great if any of them make it to the big screen. If you're disappointed that Cameron won't be doing this one, that I understand. But if you're just being mean and hateful about someone just for the sake of being mean and hateful, maybe you should get off your spiteful, rude butts and go get a job instead of spending all your time spewing garbage that's designed to hurt. So there.

    by moto

    Man, you're almost worse than these fanboys here...

    I don't know what's worse, taking Bruce Campbell or Sarah Michelle Gellar seriously, OR taking the WWF seriously.

    Now, I understand that pro wrestlers are EXCELLENT athletes. Id on't watch wrestling (used to as a kid), but I respect what they do. They are true athletes that take a beating day in and day out. They suffer major injuries... and keep on going. I respect them.

    BUT, what many of these people and myself are saying is that Chyna is WRONG for the role. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. It would degrade the film's integrity (what little it has with fans right now). It's a fact of life that the pro wrestlers are not taken seriously. I'm not saying it's right, but it's a fact. And seeing Chyna in this role would degrade the film even more.

    It's a lame rumor... and would NEVER happen anyway. You like wrestling? Fine. Nothing wrong with that. I'm no better than you because I don't. But just because wrestling is cool, just because they are great athletes, doesn't mean they are right for the part. For example, Meryl Streep is an excellent actress! BUT, would I want her for this part. NO... ofcourse not.

    Anywho... you want to stick up for what you like? Fine. But grow up and take the high road by not throwing insults as they do. Anyone can rip on another. Any idiot can do that.

    But I guess that's a natural reaction. So, allow me to say this. Bruce Campbell is an overrated "actor" here in fanboy city. When he does something respectable... then I'll maybe change my mind. Sarah Michelle Gellar? Flavor of the month... when Buffy is over, where will she go? Chyna... I don't care how much makeup she wears... I don't care what Entertainment Media has done to me, the bitch is rank. Viagra couldn't get me up in her presence.

    Nice gal, but I suspect that they're floating this idea just to test what reaction would be, and don't have remotely serious plans on the issue. Just as long as she pulls a Robert Patrick, and does not really talk too much, as I would have some fear that if she ever could act her way out of a paper bag, that the WWF would have trained it out of her. Cannot really agree with Harry: I think a Holly Hunter would be cute for about one frame, but it just would not make too much sense (not that T1-3 always make sense, I admit) that they would build bots strong in that shape. Bad design. Certainly, agree with those that question why it needs to be made, especially without a strong script. www.themachineisdead.com

    The Terminators *are* supposed to blend in, right, but in the war-torn *future*, not the easy life of the present. It doesn't seem too much of a stretch to accept that a lot of the folks who're alive and fighting in the future are pretty buff. Hell, in that bleak world, what is there to do but train all day long to defeat Skynet? I think most of the future folks we've seen in "Terminator" and "Terminator 2" have had average builds, but I have no trouble believing that plenty of John Conner's rebels are buff mofo's. That assumption also validates Arnie's Terminator design - he doesn't exactly seem like the blending type either, right? **** On a separate note, I'm fairly depressed by all the bitter misogyny of this Talkback. Jesus, Chyna's not my idea of a babe either (as if a female Terminator is necessarily gonna be a sexpot anyway), and I think a "T3" is ill-conceived from the get-go, but show a little maturity children...

Question: Did anybody remember in like 1985 when they were first predicting a sequel to T1, they had a poster in CINEMAFANTASTIQUE of Arnold and a Woman posing as Terminators, and it said "Lady Terminator." I wonder what that was all about.

    chyna as a terminator

    by das

    If Chyna is going to play as a terminator she should be a T 800 model not a T 1G

    Did someone suggest Bjork?

    by beau

    I like the idea of introducing someone that would look even less threatening than Robert Patrick. How about Linda Hunt (or someone a little younger but of equal stature)as the Fem-Term? I realize this isn't a novel idea (hell, even Cameron had originally intended to have Lance Hendricksen play the Terminator) but I still think that that sort of juxtaposition of characters would be infinitely more interesting than having battling bookends.

    I believe I suggested Bjork and here are some much better sugges

    by silentbob x

    Here are some much better choices
    than Chyna for a female Terminator: 1. Bjork, 2. Cynthia
    Watros(Titus), 3. Hudson Leick(Xena), 4. Catherine Zeta Jones,
    5. Janeane Garofalo(my personal
    choice), 6. Bif Naked, 7. Jessica
    Alba(Dark Angel), 8. Kate Winslet,
    9. Nikki Cox, 10. Gwen Stefani(No
    Doubt), 11. Gillian Anderson, 12.
    Annette Bening, and finally, 13.
    Helen Hunt. PLEASE NOTE: I don't
    think any of these girls have a
    legitimate shot at being the female terminator(though I wouldn't mind seeing any of them
    making their naked entrance) they
    all have one thing in common:
    THEY CAN ACT AND DO NOT LOOK AS
    MASCULINE AS AH-NULD.

    How low can you go?

    by pomona88

    Might as well add Anna Nicole Smith to the cast, too. And maybe a cameo appearance by Michael Jackson as Edgar Allan Poe.

    Dark, I'm not too fond of Chyna either, but she isn't THAT bad.

    And if you don't know who Nicole Bass is, lemme just say that she makes Chyna look like Cindy Crawford.

    And she's an OKAY actress. She aint no Streep, but I thought she was okay on 3rd Rock.

    I can also easily tell you're just an arrogant Chyna-basher.

    As for her Playboy, it wasn't THAT bad either. She may not be an anorexic blonde that you proabably like, but I like a little variety in my porn :) And NO, I am not gay, trans, or deformed in any way. Also, that PB was a really huge seller, just to let you know.

    As for her in T3, I think she'd be okay if she had a small role and was more mysterious than powerful. She could be kinda like Mystique in Xmen. I think Rebecca Romijn got bashed alot for the role, but she turned out to be pretty good.

    Hey, SilentBob X - Good Call

    by beau

    Garofalo.......that's it, that's the ticket. She'll shred Arnold with her rapier wit.

    Note to self - Hire Bob as casting director for next film.

    Much Obliged, Beau

    by silentbob x

    Thanks for the vote of confidence.
    My application to the casting
    director's guild must have gotten
    lost in the mail. As for Janeane,
    I wouldn't mind seeing her kick
    Ah-nuld's ass in any movie(like
    that'll ever happen) But if I
    had to choose between her and
    Chyna, it's Janeane all the way.
    Janeane can at least act. And,
    yes Beau you hit it on the head
    with the whole 'battling bookends'
    comment. Who wants to see Ah-nuld
    fight a female version of himself?
    I certainly wouldn't, regardless
    of how good the f/x are. As
    moviegoers, we have to draw the
    line somewhere as to how low we'll
    go for our entertainment. Hollywood isn't even trying anymore if shitty, brain dead
    decisions like casting Chyna as
    an opposite of Ah-nuld are made.
    Stop it already, we've had enough.

    why not...

    by momma grape

    Cast Verne Troyer? Gary Coleman? He needs work. Or Kobe Bryant. How about Me. I was good in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and I blend in nicely in a crowd. Anyway, I like wrestling. After all. I'm housebound and watch lots of television. But it seems Arnold wants to cast a wrestler to help box office more than best possible casting. He's had quite a few bombs lately. I like Chyna. I think she's a very hard worker. But I like the idea of Michelle Yeoh whoever said that or maybe someone small and fiesty like Jada Pinkett-Smith or Courtney Cox.
