This was really the only scene that makes me laugh at how bad it was when watching T2 on Blu Ray...

That Christopher Reeve on that Fatboy?, Fred Savage on the dirt bike. XD

HD/BR has destroyed history :lol
 
that may be Peter Kent, Schwarzenegger's double, in an Arnold rubber mask.
but you surely know there were dubles, sorry :)

Yes but, this is more obvious and laughable then what you are OCD'ing over. :)
 
I'm watching the special ed. now :). This figs have me pumped but I gotta say, I'm a part 1 guy first and foremost

I got some time off this week and have been planning on re-watching t-2 ever since getting the dx10, I will get to it tommorrow. I love both t1 and t2, not so much t3 but t4 wasn't bad.
 
:rotfl
Your story sounds frustrating - being told to go to bed right at the police shootout scene? I hope you lodged a formal protest.

I don't have a story, I mentioned that I can't remember when I first saw the films. All I remember is badly wanting toys from T2 and I remember the day I got the Kenner endoskeleton and the halfman half liquid metal T-1000. I never owned one of the ''Arnie'' kenner figures funnily enough. Other than that I remember me and my friend at the time acting out the fight scenes in T2, usually me as the T-1000 because I was smaller.

I did, I asked to be up just a little bit more, caused I loved the movie so far.

Well...to be exact I didn´t ask as a kid...I thouroughly begged.

:lol

May have misunderstood you but that second pic has an accurate set up, its just very brief in the film - based on where he cuts the T-1000 in half and then gets his ass kicked some more before the T-1000 rams his head with the steel beam which results in the full BD head.

As to your latter point, yeah thats true. Thats the brilliance of the T-1000 and the way they played the T-800 in the circumstances of this film, that you fear for the T-800 as he gets increasingly beat down.

Thank god they didn't include the part of the script where the T-800 says he is afraid (before being dipped into the molten steel) - that would have been totally wrong. The idea is that we are afraid for him as John would be - however the T-800 itself is not supposed to experience emotion, only come to an awareness and understanding of it in humans.

yeah, i already see i mixed up two scenes. well then i'll have to make a scene that didn't exist, because i really won't have place for the crawling terminator and that seems to be the only way he moves with that full damaged head before T-1000 death :)

well if they really went with that "artificial intelligence" thing, it is not incorrect. the machine part is merely a body, while the chip turns into a mind after all that story, and a mind can have emotions. it was an artificial "neural network" or something like that, and that is the closest thing to a real brain.

but i always say that it could not be, because if Skynet's instruments had brains of that complexity (able to gain emotions i mean), Skynet itself as the most advanced of them would become emotional years ago, would understand politics and would come to lots of easier and more cunning ways of destroying people or luring them into a social crisis, or making them fight each other and so on.
as long as the highest CPU was just a dumb computer, his minions could not be smarter.

:lecture

Same thing I think.
If he understood why humans cry and even makes jokes out of desperate situations ("I need a vacation", he could absolutely learn even more and would become a fully flegded being, instead of only being a machine understanding humans.

Damn, I still need the novels.
Never having been able to get a hold of it, so far.

hid into a spoiler as an off-topic.
well, if you take the T-1000 screams as emotions, you have to accept the T-800 fear and wish for a vacation.
but still the skynet itself thinks of no politics or manipulation => doesn't understand emotions and reflexes of sapient mind => doesn't have them => is just a stupid computer => its robots, if being more complex-minded, would unite and refuse its authority and be as emotional and cunning as in the Sarah Connor Chronicles, working through social skills for or against humans.
there is no sign of it (skynet doesn't want its robots to think - is smarter) => no emotions, T-1000's faces are just a death of "faking emotions software/hardware" or he is one of a kind, the first and the last truly conscious artificial personality, an evolution over skynet that didn't survive.

and yes i've read the script and novel, including parts of skynet being afraid of t-1000 because he is too smart and conscious. maybe later skynet would upgrade itself to that kind of brain, using the T-1000 technology as the new CPU for itself, and would change the fighting methods or even stop the war :)
but at the movie point it should be a clever machine, nothing more.

Nah, I could actually see myself believing that pre-production was THAT co-op that Cameron would REALLY know whats in the novel and maybe said that it´s good to be written down in the novel, but it hasn´t the same place/area/space in the movie. Like it wouldn´t have been possible to be included in the movie and all that Cameron was able to do is giving those little hints to the T-1000´s self-concience.

I must've missed it then. The last couple you posted were hilarious. :lol

I'd vote that the best ever SSF's gif. Never gets old. :lol

I just love these boards.


I have never spent so much time on page one of a HT thread before. Those pics continue to astound.

Same here...totally.
Can´t wait to get this.
I still love looking at my desktop and every pic here that gets quoted!!!

With all that: good morning, guys.

:1-1:
 
I'm glad I got the MMS T2 as this upcoming BD version looks so similar to the DX.
 
I keep looking at it. I keep wanting to really like it, but can't. The HS is about 20 years too young, the endo details under the BD are just not right. :(

I implore everyone, make this a better HT by letting HT know.

I can understand certain liberties being taken to resolve joint articulation issues, but really, it's disappointing. I don't want to crap on anyone's parade here, I understand the excitement, but it could be so much better. HT have shown they have the talent on the roster, they just don't appear to have the will.

Looks kinda like Jean Cleade Van Damme.

Keep in mind this is only the proto. They've improved on most of the protos recently, at least the figures I bought. As far as likeness I have no issues but they could adjust the endo stuff a bit. But honestly if this is what I got I'd be happy.

Too late for that mate. This would have been made in unison with the DX10 as a cost saver. A true double dip if ever there was one.

This won't get changed one bit, I'd be surprised if it did.

Saying that the LED sculpt it's much better than the DX10 IMO. The battle damage kind of takes your eye away.
 
They change the proto a lot. :dunno

I don't think there will be a proto. I think Hot Toys probably made this in unison with DX10 (or got onto it straight afterwards). If you were a business you don't sell everything at once, you let it out in drips and drabs to keep money turning over.

If I was making 2 versions of the same thing, with the same clothing and minor changes, I wouldn't set up another system of work in 6 months time, I'd just churn them all out now.

Just a guess but the timing would indicate these things are being made now IMO.
