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.

From what I could see... by I Hope You Die	Jul 16th, 2008 01:52:20 PM
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.

I'm so torn.... by KinjoAlcoholicNinja	Jul 16th, 2008 01:59:00 PM
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.

Looks alright by anyrandomhero	Jul 16th, 2008 02:06:04 PM
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!
Looks great... by andtheflesh	Jul 16th, 2008 02:07:03 PM
...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.
REALLY HOPE BEAKS IS 100% RIGHT by hollywoodsummers	Jul 16th, 2008 02:07:31 PM
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 watched Terminator and T2 recently... by I Hope You Die	Jul 16th, 2008 02:11:02 PM
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?
hell yeah by juice willis	Jul 16th, 2008 02:11:17 PM

Should have shot something specifically for a teaser by drewlicious	Jul 16th, 2008 02:16:29 PM
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.

Skull on a Jet == Flames on Nipples by Squashua	Jul 16th, 2008 02:17:25 PM

ALSO, ABOUT MCG's NAME... by hollywoodsummers	Jul 16th, 2008 02:18:06 PM
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.

Ricky Shroeder by Bouncy X	Jul 16th, 2008 02:21:19 PM
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.

Terminator: Dead Horse Beaten by Heckles	Jul 16th, 2008 02:22:03 PM
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?
at the very least it wasn't shit by Cedar_Room	Jul 16th, 2008 02:22:23 PM
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.
hmmmm so does this mean.... by Bouncy X	Jul 16th, 2008 02:23:01 PM
that we'll find out the Creepy Thin Man was actually a Terminator? it would explain his knack for surviving the impossible.

Seriously.
I enjoyed Terminator 3... by KillDozer	Jul 16th, 2008 02:38:35 PM
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.
Ya know what? by jedihillis	Jul 16th, 2008 02:39:46 PM
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.
One good thing by TVguy4566	Jul 16th, 2008 02:43:02 PM
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.
I Hope You Die by skimn	Jul 16th, 2008 02:43:16 PM
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 by theoyboy	Jul 16th, 2008 02:44:12 PM
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.
wow by slkboxrman	Jul 16th, 2008 02:44:23 PM
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.
about McG by slkboxrman	Jul 16th, 2008 02:46:32 PM

for me the story ended with T2 by Larry of Arabia	Jul 16th, 2008 02:57:22 PM
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'm sorry, but I still think T2 still holds up by TVguy4566	Jul 16th, 2008 03:03:01 PM
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).

Might not be horrible... by r_number6	Jul 16th, 2008 03:21:20 PM
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.
But... by codymr	Jul 16th, 2008 03:21:32 PM
That shot of what looks to be an electrocuted fighter pilot after his parachute got caught on an power tower is very striking.

Anyone ragging on T2 is fucking crazy... by Mr. Profit	Jul 16th, 2008 03:23:54 PM
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?
Cautiously Optimistic by ScottinDC	Jul 16th, 2008 03:23:59 PM
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.
McG by Mr. Profit	Jul 16th, 2008 03:26:06 PM
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	Jul 16th, 2008 03:28:41 PM
Looks more like a movie, while T3 was clearly a production sequel in the tradition of franchise/repackage/regurgitat e 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! by ARoomFullOfNinjas	Jul 16th, 2008 03:28:50 PM
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!

T3's R Rating by Mr. Profit	Jul 16th, 2008 03:29:41 PM
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.

Fiedel's score by r_number6	Jul 16th, 2008 03:36:47 PM
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.
The measure of an action movie ... by DennisMM	Jul 16th, 2008 03:37:43 PM
is whether the script and the direction make you care what happens to the characters involved in the action. McG? Yawn.

Good or bad, this movie is just fan fiction to me. by Sonam8311	Jul 16th, 2008 03:39:16 PM
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.

T3's R rating by skimn	Jul 16th, 2008 03:48:15 PM

Watchmen Trailer this Friday! by loafroaster	Jul 16th, 2008 03:58:16 PM

Bottom Line by fassbinder79	Jul 16th, 2008 04:04:51 PM
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.

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.
This is very interesting... by depalma25	Jul 16th, 2008 04:10:07 PM
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.
performingmonkey by fassbinder79	Jul 16th, 2008 04:11:05 PM
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.
So where is THIS trailer?? by chuffsterUK	Jul 16th, 2008 04:14:03 PM
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.
Teaser trailer 1 year before movie by Wants Vaders Executor	Jul 16th, 2008 04:15:00 PM
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.
T2 by stuatfunnyordie	Jul 16th, 2008 04:15:15 PM
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...
Roland Kickinger actually played... by depalma25	Jul 16th, 2008 04:15:54 PM
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.
T3 was far too redundant... by mefrog	Jul 16th, 2008 04:20:49 PM
...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.
Better than that SHITTY 'THE SPIRIT ' TRAILER by Darth_Kaos	Jul 16th, 2008 04:22:17 PM
That's all I got to say.
Wants Vaders Executor by fassbinder79	Jul 16th, 2008 04:22:20 PM
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.

fassbinder79 by Wants Vaders Executor	Jul 16th, 2008 04:38:01 PM
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.

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.

"The story of The Terminator ended" by Kaitain	Jul 16th, 2008 08:07:13 PM
> 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.)
LMAO WTF by turketron	Jul 16th, 2008 08:15:21 PM

Looks cool enough by Greenleaf1	Jul 16th, 2008 08:17:21 PM
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).

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.

T2 stands up just fine by badboymason	Jul 16th, 2008 09:37:08 PM
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 could retcon T3 right out of existence by AnarchyWorldsEnd	Jul 16th, 2008 10:24:37 PM
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...
Got a good feeling about this film. by LoneGun	Jul 16th, 2008 10:30:55 PM
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.

Anyone see this quick clip? by theoyboy	Jul 16th, 2008 11:43:54 PM
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

Can't they CGI Arnie in??? by Johnno	Jul 16th, 2008 11:58:25 PM
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...
Choas and strobing by Dreamfasting	Jul 17th, 2008 12:02:04 AM
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.

Hopefullly This Will Retcon T2: OLD YELLER Out Of Existance by LaserPants	Jul 17th, 2008 01:17:16 AM
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.

Re McG by Lost Jarv	Jul 17th, 2008 05:02:30 AM
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.
Guns n Roses by Lost Jarv	Jul 17th, 2008 05:04:13 AM
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.
Yeah, I agree on GnR, Lost Jarv... by Motoko Kusanagi	Jul 17th, 2008 05:09:49 AM

Jarv - GnR by spud mcspud	Jul 17th, 2008 05:48:08 AM
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
LaserPants... by spud mcspud	Jul 17th, 2008 05:52:09 AM
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!!!
McG? by spud mcspud	Jul 17th, 2008 05:54:23 AM
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.

Funnily enough, by Lost Jarv	Jul 17th, 2008 06:35:38 AM
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.
McG changes his name by Larry Sellers	Jul 17th, 2008 07:33:21 AM
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.
I'm intruiged. Arnold looked like shit in T3 by L. Ron Bumquist	Jul 17th, 2008 07:36:04 AM
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.
Larry by Lost Jarv	Jul 17th, 2008 07:36:45 AM
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.
Could this be... by I AM ROCKO	Jul 17th, 2008 07:48:53 AM
...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...

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.
Nothing not to like by jermcdee	Jul 17th, 2008 08:39:04 AM
Come on people. I'm as skeptical about MCG as the next guy, but there was nothing not to like in that teaser. Honestly.
spud mcspud by LaserPants	Jul 17th, 2008 08:41:03 AM
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.
One More Thing Motoko by LaserPants	Jul 17th, 2008 08:47:04 AM
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...
CYBORG 1 was originally "Masters of the Universe 2" by Demode	Jul 17th, 2008 09:01:55 AM
Cyborg 1 was originally He-Man and the Masters of the Universe 2. When Mattel decided not to pursue a sequel, they re-wrote the script and turned it in to "Cyborg". By the way, Jolie wouold make one sexy looking Evil-Lyn!

TVguy4566 you said: by TheManBehindTheMask	Jul 17th, 2008 09:17:18 AM
" 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)

Yeah Reign of Fire was quite good by Motoko Kusanagi	Jul 17th, 2008 10:31:58 AM
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.
All Differences Aside, Motoko by LaserPants	Jul 17th, 2008 10:45:38 AM
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.
Oh And You Might Like SPEED RACER If You Ever See It by LaserPants	Jul 17th, 2008 10:48:45 AM
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.
