Probably something like this.

INT. Agent's Office - DAY

Agent: Hey! How's my favorite client in the world?

Arnold: I'm fantastic! With all the businesses and the Planet Hollywood and all these things!

Agent: Good, good. Damn, you looking big, you've been working out?

Arnold: Lifting all those bags of money keeps me in shape....HAHAHA!

Agent: Well, speaking of bags of money, I'm glad you're here cause I've got a great offer for you, and it's something original, fresh, and unlike anything you have done.

Arnold: I like it already!

Agent: You'd be playing an Austrian research geneticist and the film deals family issues among other.... things. Danny DeVito would be your co-star!

Arnold: Ahh, Danny! I love Danny! We worked on Twins and it made lots and lots of money because we played TWINS and it's funny because he so tiny and I'm so big and strong and people love all these thins thsing Ahah ...!!

Agent: Ok, well yeah. The film is directed and produced by the director of Ghostbusters, Mr. Ivan Reitman.

Arnold: Fantastic!! It keeps getting better and better! Are there any ghost in this one and do I get to stop them using my brain instead of my muscles?


Agent: No, not exactly. It's a ten million dollar offer, Arnold. But there's one more thing, you pretty much have to play a pregnant man, and there's a tiny version of you at some point and you'll be dress like a woman.

Arnold: Like Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie?

Agent: Yes! Just like Tootsie! Dustin Hoffman got an Oscar nomination for that film, so think about it, this could mean a whole different market for you, Arnold.

Arnold: Make it 20 million, and I'll see you at Oscars!


Something like that, more or less.

Funniest ******* thing I've read on this board in a good, long while, man. Priceless, suitable for framing!

Now...how about this pitch meeting?

Terminator 3 was too silly but at least it was R.

Terminator Salvation was PG-13 but at least it was serious.

And now with Terminator Genisys the series has finally crossed over into the sad world of now being silly AND PG-13.

And it'll take itself seriously. I don't know if we've ever had such a phenomenon. This movie contradicts itself. Therefore, it should not exist.

Swear to god Arnold saying ''I've been waiting for you'' to the original 1984 T-800, that alone, informs my entire expectation about this movie.

Terminator writers?

I can't wait for Pops to knock out Bill Paxton and his buddies, saving their lives, and inspiring somebody else in the park that night to "pay it forward."

I was annoyed in 1990 when Gremlins 2 retconned the Futtermans' deaths. This is so, so much worse.

Just rewatched the trailer. Anyone else hate the theme song used as much as I do? Just totally insipid. And another thing, how do they reconcile 1984 Termie getting easily "taken care of" with Arnie (presumably) surviving his skydive into a helicopter?

Pops gained extra strength by learning the value of human life. And I didn't mind the song but I had to chuckle because it seemed like a silly attempt to cross over into the Divergent audience.

After spending 10 years with Sarah they're really gonna take that to the extreme aren't they. The Terminator we've always dreamed of

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

Yeah, I have a feeling this is gonna go into Full House sit-com territory. They should've used a laugh track after Pops says "I've been waiting for you. (Get it, humourless Termie? I've literally been waiting decades! Haha!)"

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

They've really minimized the importance of the "messiah" John Connor with all these stupid sequels. In T1 JC was the savior who did all of the heavy lifting in the future while Reese fought one last battle. In T2 he is once again the future savior and they add a second LA battle to the mix but at least it still involves John himself, both future John reprogramming the terminator and young John teaching about human life and whatever. Then in T3 we see that young John is pretty ineffective (can't stop Skynet from forming) and future John is upstaged by his future wife. In TS he was upstaged by Marcus and now in TG we just have more hijinks in the 80's that don't involve John at all. Who cares if he gets saved or killed, apparently everything is going to play out as it always did anyway.

Maybe Sarah winds up saving Kyle more often than the other way around. Maybe she's the messiah. Maybe this is the first in a string of female-friendly Terminator movies.

All I know is I want more HT Arnies. Young and old.

Exact-a-mundo! <-which incidentally the T-800 will probably say at some point in this new film

With True Lies Arnie leading the way, huh?

Hot Toys Mr. freeze and Jack Slater.

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

I'd love to see a HT Slater, both leather jacket and Hamlet version. Freeze would be damny funny and possibly ironically appealing.

Both are so bought.

Want Mr Freeze in his prison stripes.

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

Found a webpage I referred to previously about the crapness of T3 - Downfall Of Terminator: All That is Wrong with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

It's a long read, and some of it is a bit hard to get through but overall, it hits all nails upon head.
