Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines
An anonymous reader writes "There is a new Quicktime Trailer avalible for Terminator 3 up and avalible to download. Features include shiny chrome, blue LED's a-plenty and a few seconds of a CGI'ed army of Terminators." Looks like a pretty fun movie.

Oh well, I'm sure You've Got Mail II will be pretty cool.
Sigh.

"Terminator 4: Skynet gets Slashdotted"
In this one Arnold passes a kidney stone made of pure medal.
And the fact that the new "girl" bot looks a regression of design versus the t1000.
I don't know about you, but if that's a regression, I'm all in favor of them sliding further and further backwards.
"Sic Semper Tyrannosaurus Rex."
with a budget like $150 M they can actually build a real, functional skynet and instead of making a movie, make the whole series a self-fulfilling prophecy. ;-P

Well its news for nerds, and nerds love famous fictitious characters. No, its true. I just got back from LOTR, and there were people dressed up in star trek outfits and someone else had a lightsaber! I'm like what fucking movie did you guys think you were seeing? Its like they just want to congregate and dress up to show how nerdy they are. But I shouldn't complain, cause I like to laugh.
The only difference is newer special effects and the evil terminator is a buxom blonde, with big breasts, and wearing a tight red leather outfit.
I'm betting it tops $100 million in the first weekend.

You mean, it takes T-1000's and sends them off to be on the X-Files?
I'd hardly call that "destroying".
But then, I'd call anyone who could banish a T-800 to the world of Last Action Hero to be one mean bitch.

Terminator: Human protects Sarah from Terminator
Terminator2: Terminator protects Sarah+John from advanced Terminator
Terminator3: Terminator protects John from Barbie.
I agree. What the hell is up with making another Lord of the Rings sequel? The original movie was just fine and I think it ended clearly and left no loose ends. Frodo takes the ring off the Mount Doom with Sam and throws it in the lava pit to rid the world of that evil and the other guys (don't know their names... the elf guy and the guy from Indiana Jones and the other dude with the beard) can just go off back to their own people and live happily ever after. Why do all these movies have to be dragged out into 2 or 3 sequels these days? It destroys the franchise and makes the original that much less interesting. Could you imagine if they did this idiotic shit with books? Who would buy a book when they KNOW there's going to be two others they'll have to buy to finish the story?
The machines aren't the only thing rising! Whew!
Stop terminating a dead horse.
Seriously, though, I don't understand why they are making this movie, or at least why they are making it the way they are now.
First off, Arnold is a bit too old now. 5-8 years ago, maybe it could have happened. Not now, though, despite the massive amounts of makeup.
Second off, looks like they are just turning this into a cheeseball cliche action movie. Very little originality, lots of mindless action, special effects, and the obligatory hot chick.
Now, the trailor gives away very little except that the machines have sent thier latest robot back in time to kill us. The original Terminator must also go back to stop that machine. Sounds a lot like the Plot of Terminator 2.
I might be wrong. It might end up being a good movie. I just doubt it.
"You spoony bard!" -Tellah
In the future we will be hunted by teenage blondes that look like Buffy the vampire slayer.
This movie is going to be a joke. No James Cameron is bad enough, but making Buffy the vampire slayer into the terminator is just over the top.
Yes I know it's not the real Buffy chick, but honestly, does it matter? It's the same cliche.
Voiceover: The machines will RISE this July...
Screenwriters: But we're completely out of ideas!
Voiceover: Please watch it on July 2nd.
Ahnuld: I'm old.
Screenwriters: Bigger explosions, more tits... We were on a deadline!
Voiceover: Pretty please... There are more explosions...
Ahnuld: I'm old and cuddly. Hear me whimper!
Voiceover: At theatres everywhere.
Hey, what if there was a movie about aliens coming from the future to prevent Ahnuld from becoming the outspoken governor of California some years on? Oh, wait... this is that movie. Spoiler/Prediction: The aliens blunder by immediately ending Ahnuld's already-tepid acting career, thereby inadvertently hastening his political ascendance.
Ahnuld: I'm old. Vote for me.
I wonder if they'll introudce a plot device as outlandish and unbelievable as Cyberdyne keeping offsite backups.
Naah. Too unbelievable.
STOP MISUSING APOSTROPHES, YOU MORONS!!!

So, like, I tried to sent an assassin robot back in time and it was like "beep beep..."
What part of "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?
yes, the added advantage that a female Terminator could have certain psychological advantages in manipulating humans over a male terminator.
Notwithstanding how stupid this conversation really is, I have to wonder if a psychological advantage is needed when you have missiles flying out of your arms?

Are we going to do this, or is a boycott just vaporware?
I think I speak for everyone on Slashdot when I say, "We?"

Howzat!
You're using her as bait, Master!
I was watching the trailer and about three quarters of the way through it crashed with the following:
Abnormal Termination Error
How apt.
I'm just curious.
As you may or may not know, the actory playing the T-X is norwegian.
Do scandinavian women appear as exotic to Americans? For a native norwegian I get a disturbing notion that the T-X is just about to tell the weather forecast or work in the state financial committee. Personally I think this makes her even more scary.
