To gauge a man's intelligence by how well he speaks in public is completely moronic.
How smart do you think YOU are.. or how about your friends.. I bet you all think you're pretty intelligent. Now tell me.. how well do YOU speak publicly?
I dunno. I really think they could've done without such things. I mean.. we've seen it all before. Like.. wow, people think it's a real person but.. WHOA! It's a cyborg! Watch out guys! Those pool sticks won't do much to a CYBORG! Tee hee! He's gonna kick your ass! -- yeah, it's been done.
No. That's just not true. Arnie may not be the best actor in the world but he played the Terminator well. He delivered those lines convincingly. In this trailer, he reads them like a 12 year old child.
The point of the terminator is to TERMINATE. Now, yes, that means infiltration. But how many hot chicks do you think they have walking around around in Post-Apocalyptic Los Angeles?
If they even think of having some sort of lame seduction scene, their cinematic integrity will go out the window faster than Axel Foley.
Can no one else see that this 'film' looks like complete shit. From the first line in the trailer.. "John Coonnoorrr... It's ttiimmeee.." it goes straight down-hill. What is this? Arny can't even play the TERMINATOR. The lines sound.. BAD.. not writing-wise.. but delivery-wise. Yes, there are only two of them (The second being the completely worthless "She'll be back.") but Arny reads them BADLY. Did no one else notice?
And a female terminator? Does no one else see something wrong with that. I sincerely hope they didn't just do that for lame PC reasons. Why would the machines opt to make a smaller-framed, less physically imposing killing machine? The only way to justify it would be to have some sort of seduction bullshit and that would be stupid in its own right. Christ. So disappointing.
I'm not even going to go into the fact that Arny is the ONLY member of the cast/crew who's come back for this. Cameron is gone and for good reason. He knew there was nothing to be done with the Terminator franchise after T2. T2 was as good as a film about futuristic cyborgs can get and it was the best action film of its (if not any) era. That's why Cameron's turned his attention to making True Lies II a good movie.
God. I can't even count everything that's outlandish and ridiculous about T3. Yeah, we're all gonna see it.. but can we at least have a little backbone NOW and say that this trailer is shit?
Absolutely. Besides the fact that DoD has a lot more realism going for it, it's also more fun. Granted, CS is a friggen blast while you're playing -- unless you're the best in any given match, a lot of the time, you're sitting out. In DoD, (at least in the classic mode) you're in the shit all the time. Oh my god, just thinking about it makes me happy.
Like... running down an alley with your buddies, negotiating rubble and trying to keep your head down while, all around you, random explosions go off, and bullets wizz by. Suddenly, you hear a boom off to the right and as you turn to look, your friend's body parts fly out of a fireball. Another buddy is cut down by machine gun fire, another is picked off by a sniper, and by the time you reach the end of the alley, it's just you and your rifle, ready to jump up and charge again, picking off dirty nazi scum as you go.
Actually, the atmosphere isn't as much due to the book as it is due to Ridley Scott's friggen obsessive nature. (Sure, the book inspired him, but he would've gone nuts anyway) -- And as for what's "so good about it"... I won't go as far as to say that it's one of those love/hate movies (Like Moulin Rouge) but it is valid to say that if you don't like it, if it rubs you the wrong way, if you just don't dig the atmosphere and story and flying cars, well.. then there's really not much anyone can do to sway you.
But I will say this: Blade Runner is border-line masterpiece because it managed to morph sci-fi, neo-noir and a script about 'what makes us human?' into a tight and engaging film.
Yeah, that's true.. But I guess I was thinking in the extreme long-term. But I suppose in the extreme long-term, we'll live in space and Bruce Willis will save the world.
Well see.. no, it's not really that ridiculous. There is some sense to survival of the fittest and eventually, when medicine becomes so advanced that there is nothing beyond its reach, the human race will be REALLY diverse.. which sounds like a good thing but really, it'll just mean a greater number of people no one wants to deal with.
I'm not saying medical science should be halted in its development of technology.. but maybe we should solve the problems of having too MANY people before we focus on bringing MORE into the world.
No one's saying that this fourth part in an overall fantastic adventure series is making their life complete. But it IS worth talking about so keep your trap shut.
I don't see what the big deal is. If the first trilogy took place around 1936 and came out around 1988, why can't part four simply take place in the fifties? Or if they do the makeup right, they could even pull off World War II. Plus I'm sure they would work his age into the script in a humorous and logical manner.
And speaking of the script, I'd worry about THAT and not how old Ford is. He's been making junk lately and I just hope Spielberg can help guide him back towards past glory.
Actually, now that I'm in college, I'm not in an area that has EVER had UPN.. but never fear.. The local WB will encore every UPN episode on saturday night. Excellent. -- So check around, there may be a network that does this in your area.
Precisely. I think the idea of life on mars has pretty much been abandoned at this point (Or if not abandoned, at least shoved over in favor of finding resources for our boys when they get there) and the fact that water is there means that that is one less thing to bring with you.
A few years ago my friends and I decided that if ever there was another Trek done by that greedy moron Rick Berman, it would have to capitalize on the 'popular tv trends' of the time... So we can expect the new Trek to be called Star Trek : eXtreme... In the big chair we have Captain Badass and as his right-hand-man we have Commander Amazing! Roddenberry's sun-fried molecules must be spinning furiously.

Anyone else notice how much Linus looks like Bill Gates in that picture?
I dunno. I really think they could've done without such things. I mean.. we've seen it all before. Like.. wow, people think it's a real person but .. WHOA! It's a cyborg! Watch out guys! Those pool sticks won't do much to a CYBORG! Tee hee! He's gonna kick your ass! -- yeah, it's been done.
But this terminator isn't shape-shifting.. So it was designed to be a female.. Not like the T-1000 which could take any shape it wanted.
No. That's just not true. Arnie may not be the best actor in the world but he played the Terminator well. He delivered those lines convincingly. In this trailer, he reads them like a 12 year old child.
You've gotta at least agree on that point.

Is this why Redheads are so much sassier? Because they're so much more physically sensitive? ... in bed?
Here.
That's like ... Like...
Holy crap!! Pleasure overload!

Yeah, you're right. That WAS this year, wasn't it..
What IS up with that?
I think it's really funny that AI only got two nominations .. and they were givens: Score and Special Effects.
It's interesting to see Moulin Rouge and AI -- both equally controversial -- go entirely separate ways.
Yeah, that's true.. But I guess I was thinking in the extreme long-term. But I suppose in the extreme long-term, we'll live in space and Bruce Willis will save the world.

I doubt anyone's suprised. I mean .. Who DOESN'T like fuckin' shit up and killing cops? No one!

Numbers of that magnitude can only be described theoretically.
It's not that they're too smart, it's they're fucking elitist and have a subconscious superiority complex. God I hate those people.
Quit being a righteous asshole, ok?
