To avoid that, I'll try to stick to direct responses to your comments:<br /><br />1) A better question would be, if Skynet knows the significance of Kyle Reece, and have his name literally at the top of their "to kill" list, AND they have him positively identified as a captive, why not snuff him? I'll tell you why-- because then they wouldn't have sent Arnold to kill Sarah Connor, creating Skynet research. However, the movie doesn't tell you that, so we ask again why Kyle Reece is on the top of the list, and why not kill John Connor at several opportunities? Also, John "found" Arnie, so that may not have been premeditated on Skynet's part.<br /><br />2) Advances in stem cell research? Does the eating of shit counter plaque build up?<br /><br />3) The T-1000s haven't been built yet, though I recognize with time travel that makes no real sense.<br /><br />4) McG really wasn't that bad here. I don't know how much control he had over the script and other awry production elements, but as cast and filmed the flick halfway works. The other half is just fucking ridiculous.<br /><br />5) This movie will not be a hit that starts a second trilogy. It lost the top spot to a Ben Stiller movie and will see an enormous drop this weekend. This is the end, my friend.<br /><br />6) The heart thing was terrible, and the alternate ending would have just been worst.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-5323320424851986962009-05-27T15:55:26.992-05:002009-05-27T15:55:26.992-05:00to quote Danny Glover in a Lethal Weapon movie: "i...to quote Danny Glover in a Lethal Weapon movie: "i'm getting too old for this shit." Terminator 1 is still my favorite. i haven't seen it in ages but it does seem quaint these days. T2 was always more flash than substance so i can take it or leave it. the 3rd was shitsville as far as i can remember. <br /><br />this one looked dumb from jump street. McG ? why? he makes horrible popcorn movies. popcorn movies can be made well but his stink. should have given it to someone else. oh and heard there are 2 more planned if this one is a hit. <br /><br /> i overheard 2 kids talking about it on the train the other day. the heart transplant at the end really made these these 16 yr olds scratch their head's and hit the "oh please??!!?" button. i asked them about it and from what they told me about the end of the movie was eye roll inducing. i'm waiting for video. <br /><br />and three other things: there's a holocaust of nuclear proportions. robots are building robots to kill folks. the robots are smarter than humans. 1) how come when the robots have John Connors trapped they didn't just shoot them? why send the Arnold Terminator to fight him without a gun. and 2) how come everyone's teeth are so white? and 3) why doesn't Skynet just make a shit load of the Robert Patrick Terminators. They seem boarder line unstoppable and could take care of that pesky human problem with ease. get on the ball Skynet.wiec?https://www.blogger.com/profile/10309538159614542664noreply@blogger.com
