I'm interested in seeing it. Terminator 2 was my favorite Terminator movie, but I also thought "Terminator Salvation" was good. I thought Genisys was interesting but was also a bit disappointing. The end of Genisys was left open for a sequel, but I guess Genisys didn't do very well in theaters.
Yep I'm with you. I think it will be interesting to see what they do with it now but after so many movies I am not sure it command the element of suprise and wow factor it once did.
This one has James Cameron onboard again (as producer), and it stars
Linda Hamilton again, as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger. It seems to
have those things going for it. So we'll see.

I hope they set it so that the old cast has aged as per the time that has past vs trying to make them look so young it's not credible. I'm with you lets see how it plays out. I'll watch it but don't have high hopes.

Yeah, I think the new Terminator is supposed to be set about 25 or 30 years after Terminator 2, so their age should about match the time that has gone by.

"YOU'RE LATE!"
"....but I'm back."

You know, if it can actually top Sarah Connor imagining her own death during the nuking of Los Angeles, then it might actually be worth watching.
Can I have a side order of fries with the too :)
NO DEAL. *BLAM*

I'll be back... BTW do you know where Saaarh Coonnner is?
In the first film he just went through the phone book and systematically killed every single one of them to be sure. Please, please, PLEASE tell
me that in this one he'll use Facebook to find her. :D

I don't know, the first one was the best - it was dark and erie almost like a horror flick back in the day. After that it seems like it was just action which isn't bad.

I think I liked the 2nd one better. But the 2nd one was the first
Terminator movie I saw, so maybe I'm biased. I later saw the first
one, and I thought it was good, but to me the first one seemed like a
campy low-budget B-movie. I did like the dark and eerie feel of it
though. I think the 2nd one was an awesome sequel though. Sequels
can be disappointing most of the time, but I thought Terminator 2
took it up a notch. The story, acting, pacing, special effects,
basically everything seemed better than the first movie. And it had
the twist that you didn't know which was the good one and which was
the bad one until it was revealed maybe half way or 1/3 of the way
into the movie.

Sorta like the original Robo Cop - CPU exec's doing coke in the bath
room, the blood and gore,, ever movie that folowed was just a disaster
and for kids and kept getting worse..
I do really like all the films but for me the first is way better
because of the dark and eerie horror type feeling. I think it's the way
The sequels just became simple action movies. No horror.
While not nearly as dark as the first movie, I thought T2 had some tense moments and an interesting tone overall that the later movies lacked. I think a lot of the problem is that the suspense of, for example, the opening chase with the T800 chasing John, is a lot weaker with
subsequent watches. The first time I saw it (as a kid, going in blind) I found a lot of that stuff to be really effective. When I watch it these days, it mostly feels like a straight up action movie to me.
It just straight up felt like an extended chase scene in an action
movie. I mean, the morphing effects of the T1000 were an interesting gimmick, but that's all they were. There just wasn't any suspense, and definitely no horror. Hell, the closest to horror we get is when they break into that Cyberdyne researcher's home and John orders the T800 to rip his own arm off to show he's a machine.
To me as a kid watching those chase seens, there was a certain menacing precense to the T800 and later T1000 (largely due to their cold robotic nature and how damn unstoppable they seemed, as in the first movie) that made it feel darker than a straight up action scene to me. I don't
really feel that these days, but I distinctly recall feeling that was
when I was younger. *shrug*
How old were you when you saw T2? Did you feel the same way back then?
Yeah, can't say I felt the same, but...
...in 1991 I was 12 years old. Didn't faze me. OTOH, I'm also the kid
who saw John Carpenter's _The Thing_ when I was like 5 years old. The sight of a guy's head popping off, sprouting legs, and crawling away didn't faze me either. So, yeah, I've always been a little weird. :D
In any case, I still wouldn't argue that T2 was a straight up horror/thriller like The Terminator was, and the latter movies far less so, so your overarching point stands. :)

Well, whatever our opinions on the Terminator flicks, can we all agree that the new Dune is going to suck moose balls?

I'm optimistic, but then again I liked the Lynch Dune version. Maybe
it'll inspire someone to read the books?
... Which parts can be grouped?
I mean, I wish it wouldn't but it seems like making a good Dune adaption is entirely impossible, doesn't it?
I admit I have a soft spot for the David Lynch movie. My brother used to constantly watch the rare (at the time) extended TV cut that he recorded when we were kids. Yes, he was a giant geek. :)
