Amph Come with me if you want to live: The Terminator Thread

Salvation and Genesys is T's desperate attempt to reinvent itself, but it's not going to work; it's over. This is what happens when people want to use a popular brand name just to make some quick cash (T3, Salvation, Genesys). They intend to milk Terminator for everything that's left of it, and in the end it will look just like a dead cow; not pretty.

The same thing has happened to Jurrasic Park; same story. Now we have to wait and see if Disney manages to make Star Wars just as irrelevant as JP and T.

 

Certainly looks like it.

 

He's also really good in Zero Dark Thirty in a non-action type role. It was the movie I first saw him in.

 

Reportedly, James Cameron is getting the rights back on 2018.

 

He's also in White House Down (the PG-13 version of Olympus Has Fallen, which in of itself, is another version of Die Hard) and Lawless.

 

ooh, then he can create Terminator vs. Avatar.

 

Yeah, at this point, I'm maybe even less excited about Cameron getting the rights than I am about the people that have them now having them. He just doesn't have those kinds of movies in him anymore. It doesn't seem anyway. I mean, if he was to do a new Terminator it would be set in an entirely digital world or else underwater.

 

You will **** your pants with your mouth open!!!

 

I thought it was only contingent on there not being another film made.

 

I think it's pretty clear already that Disney/JJ is not going to make Star Wars irrelevant. If anything, from what we've seen so far, I'd say they're going to make it more relevant and breath new life into it.

They're certainly starting off better than Lucas and the prequels.

I don't get peoples angst against Disney. They've proven to produce great work, when they care. And hiring JJ to do is proof in itself that they really care about SW and respect it enough to produce a quality end product.

 

The new Terminator trailer is the equivalent of giving the finger to my teenage hood

 

bingo. Judgment Day was always going to happen once Skynet came online. The only way James Cameron could have definitively ended the franchise is if he would have either
A: Ended T2 with Sarah Connor waking up in 1984 and going about her life as normal, because there was no Judgment Day, the Terminators were never sent back through time, Kyle Reese never would have come back to rescue her, and thus John Connor the savior-of-all-humanity would never have existed to begin with.

And audiences would have bloody hated it, and compared it all to the "just a dream" television cop-outs.

B: Created Terminator 3 as its own movie, taking place entirely in the future and detailing John Connor's final victory over Skynet and humanity beginning anew.

 

I do wonder if SCC had lasted beyond Arnie's term as the Govenator, if we would have seen a cameo by him?

 

Ironically the only t hing the trailer made me think:

BRING BACK NIKE VANDALS
They made 1 pair for the movie. Seriously. Make it worth your money. Bring that shoe line back!!!

 

Probably! I mean, I say this without knowledge, but he loved the franchise and the series shot in California (which was his main requirement) so odds would be likely, imo.

Dr. Silberman (Bruce Davidson version) on Sarah Connor Chronicles referenced "the big guy", probably the closest you could get to Arnold directly being referenced on the show.

In other news, badass teaser poster. Hell, just keep this as the poster for the release!

 

This movie, I really don't know, I really don't.

 

The skull has the last laugh.

 

I read about that on i09 and I was like, "Damn, that's attention to detail". I wish more production and costume designers in movies and television were this anal retentive when it came to stuff that takes place in the recent past.

(It was when I saw an episode of The Wonder Years when I was 13 or 14 that tried to pass off 1980s Topps baseball cards as baseball cards from the 1960s is when I first realized that some either try, or just don't care.)

 

Much better than those EW photos.

 

If only a big screen version of this could have been made...

 

no, because the future coda still has the same problem with john connor continuing to exist when he shouldn't exist unless sarah connor turned all creepy, found out where the reese family lived, and started doing the nasty with a 10 year old kyle because he is obviously her soulmate.
