I agree, Pimpus and me and done professionally... by Fa_Tass_DinoMolester	May 15th, 2009 05:17:40 PM
ASS! But hopefully the "Art of" book will have a lot of Stan Winston stuff! I really love that man! Yes, "love"...he and Crichton, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Rod Serling are still alive and rent out the space under my bed...smells kind-of like weed and hummus under there.
No Timothy Zahn prequel-novel? by Leto III	May 15th, 2009 05:18:51 PM
Seriously, you'd think that'd get thrown in too -- they're both side-by-side at every Wal-Mart I've been to lately.

World premiere of TERMINATOR SALVATION to be held on Zontar. Pimpusians pissed.
by Cobra--Kai	May 15th, 2009 05:54:59 PM
Zontar recieves massive financial Bale-out. Pimpusians slumming with 100% inflation.

Kerry Underwood travels to Pimpusia to 'see how bad things are'. Pimpusians eat her.
drturing and The3ATMAN by BLEST	May 15th, 2009 06:50:56 PM
You're going to be surprised by this movie. I'm not saying it'll own T2 or any of that other stuff that some people have posted, but....it will surprise you. Example: that bus full of skeletons who ate it during the nuclear bomb attack. More pics in that book show the familiar skulls trampled by tanks, and a 10 year old kid in the human experimentation lab with needles in him, crying. And another pic is a dead torso ripped open with terminator stuff grafted on. Again, it may not reach T2 levels of greatness, but it will be darker than you think, and all accounts so far is that it's better than T3, and a pretty solid film on it's own. Why all the hate, honestly? I don't get it. (not just from you two, necessarily)
I can just tell this movie is going to suck...BIG TIME by Riley Martin	May 15th, 2009 07:22:09 PM
Worse than WOLVERINE. If that's even possible. Tell em, Harry!
At least it won't look like shit... by KEVIN_COSTNERS_RECYCLED_PISS	May 15th, 2009 07:55:52 PM
I agree with what was said about Wolverine looking like it was made for about 60 million... where exactly did the fucking budget go? On making Patrick Stewart look like the inbred banjo boy from Deliverance?
checked out ART OF yesterday by frank cotton	May 15th, 2009 09:29:20 PM

Titan Books Sucks by whitty	May 15th, 2009 09:31:55 PM
They have completely RUINED Star Wars Insider, which used to be a good magazine that fans enjoyed.
HHMMM, this could be fun by Turd Furgeson	May 15th, 2009 11:02:23 PM
I would send a Terminator back to murder George Lucas in 1993, before he could cause TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION to the Star Wars franchise...
I would program a terminator to destroy T3 & T4 by MANZILLA	May 16th, 2009 01:52:28 AM
And then I would have it "persuade" James Cameron start where he left off with the Terminator franchise.
blest dude by drturing	May 16th, 2009 02:05:14 AM
for two weeks all you can talk about is one image of a ten year old with needles stuck in him. i don't give a shit about that. i give a shit about generic tanker truck explosion fireballs helped along by ten year old little wise mute token minority kids while being chased by a reject from a michael bay film. i give a shit about the general tone of the thing as it plays in clips - like a made for SciFi channel Coldplay video. I give a shit about McG in the cinema before star trek and about the best thing he can say is that his robocycles are based on Ducatis, cause like Ducatis are awesome. He talks like a fucking douchebag energy drink sales rep. Not a visionary crafting an epic tale of humaity on the brink due to our own hubris, and whether or not we have free will or predeterimination, or what it means to bond with the man who is going to father you. Fuck McG. Fuck him. Any fucking hollywood douchebag can have a good art direction team.
Why not call it "The Art of a PG-13 crapfest" ? by Motoko Kusanagi	May 16th, 2009 04:19:54 AM
Fuck McG and the greedy studio suits to hell. PG-13 sci-fi-warfare movie my ass.
why would computers design robots to look like men? by LabattsBleu	May 16th, 2009 11:31:38 AM
I never really understood that...humans have hubris, so that is understandable. And, originally, the T-800 was meant to be an infiltration unit, so that is understandable...the stupid Transformer mech?! don't get it...At least in Matrix, the designers thought robots would wipe the slate clean - their robots look surreal...and Cameron did the same thing, with their robots sleek and glossy...no sure what the rationale for the grimy gritty machines are here...AI can't figure out some way of making a leak proof cylinder? T:S will be ok; but the truth is HOW CAN ANYONE FUCK UP a concept of a future guerrilla war against AI machines?! Impossible concept to complete fuck up isn't it?
Well, Skynet was designed by men... by Fa_Tass_DinoMolester	May 16th, 2009 11:58:31 AM
and perhaps it can't conceive of a more effective form, especially for eradicating them (actually, some of Terminators do take other forms, the Hunter/Killers, Hydrobots, ETC). What I want to know is, why would Skynet design Terminators that look like motorcycles?
Fa_Tass_DinoMolester by ThePhantomMenace	May 16th, 2009 01:42:55 PM
"What I want to know is, why would Skynet design Terminators that look like motorcycles?" Hmm. The same reason they design Terminators to resemble humans? To fool them into staying in one place, long enough for them to catch up and terminate?. Or do you mean why are there motorcycles at all? My guess is that they are like skynets twisted version of the highway patrol. Of course that's just my my opinion. But it's a fucking professional one. :)
Youngdog by ThePhantomMenace	May 16th, 2009 02:54:19 PM
Exactly! :)
No love for Zahn by greyspecter	May 16th, 2009 06:46:50 PM
Read his novel. Good stuff.
well...the motorbikes are another thing too... by LabattsBleu	May 16th, 2009 08:54:37 PM
I keep thinking of that damn dyson vacuum commercial, "the dyson ball goes anywhere"...seems like if you did have machines as motorcycles they be using improved thinking...same with the bipedal robots - i'd design them to have eyes on the back of their heads!!! ah...silly, stupid machines...no wonder they lost the war!
youngdog by LabattsBleu	May 17th, 2009 06:00:13 PM
well, i don't disagree, and really its simply just fun speculation, after all, it is only a movie...but in terms of the art direction/creative thinking, it strikes me that machines that want to destroy humanity would try to create beings that were vastly superior as opposed to the 'same ol' same old'...For the infiltration units, it makes sense...but for anything else, it seems to be a lack of creativity.
if I win this I'm going to take a piss on the book by Kloipy	May 20th, 2009 08:24:52 PM

who won??? by Jubba	May 24th, 2009 01:57:43 AM
who won this?
Yeah, is it me... by Fa_Tass_DinoMolester	May 25th, 2009 06:03:43 PM
or did Merrick sort-of, I don't know...forget to announce the winning contestants of the contest? Abuh?
