Perhaps he was; nevertheless, I still don't see why said logic can't be applied.

It just doesn't make sense that the skin would age given the rest doesn't. Another point, given they needed the bulky muscle and large frames to hide the Endos inside, I guess the Endos also shrivel and become emaciated with age? Saw Arnie on RAW last night. He's short and literally half the man he used to be. It would be extremely hard to buy an Endo in that frame.

What doesn't make sense about "organic" versus "artificial?" The robot is built, the tissue is grown. If the tissue behaves the same way human tissue does, why wouldn't it age? It can bleed, it can burn, so, why can't it age?

Re: Terminator 5 - Shooting Jan 2014

Any chance Arnold is playing a badass general which was inadvertently captured and had the T-800 based off of him? Surely they're not actually gonna try to pass him as a Terminator again.

I kind of have faith in the director. I was strangely hypnotized by Thor 2. Doing a Forrest Gump thing with stock footage could be cool. At least they aren't starting from square 1 by dumping all over everything which already stands.

That'd be fun, to see some recreated throwback scenes.

It didn't go unnoticed that you completely ignored the point about the endo.

Re: Terminator 5 - Shooting Jan 2014

I suppose I did, but I didn't find it relevant to the issue of "organic" versus "artificial," but, since you want the Endo issue addressed, that's what "movie magic" is for. Bogey stood on boxes, I'm sure they could come up with something in this day and age.

I hope the Conan sequel has a better game plan.

Is this movie called Terminator: Retard

Re: Terminator 5 - Shooting Jan 2014

I haven't heard anything about it that would lead me to believe it was retarded.

Re: Terminator 5 - Shooting Jan 2014

Seriously, though, Jyecat. I really haven't seen anything. You liked Thor:TDW, didn't you? That along with Game of Thrones is enough to convince me that they've got an awesome director in Alan Taylor. The cast is full of great actors; well, after reading up a little more, the duo responsible for the screenplay doesn't seem to have much in the way of a filmography (e.g. anything good; one has Shutter Island, but I don't know if the fact that one was responsible for Dracula 2000 and Drive Angry 3D negates that ). Nevertheless, if this movie bombs, I'd say the odds are more in favor of it being because of a ****** script than any of the things people are *****ing about.

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

I find it kind of funny that you would be arguing against old Arnie, when I remember you were rushing to his defense in one of the other threads when someone posted that picture of him in a speedo as a way of saying that the years hadn't been good to him(something along the lines of " he just had heart surgery, dumbass"). What changed? I just think it's funny how fickle and fair weather people are. The guy has been entertaining for the past twenty years, yet, because he happens to be in his 60s, he's suddenly a joke.

I subscribe to the idea that age is just a number, and, as long as he feels he can be pumping the movies out, I'll be there to see them.

Re: Terminator 5 - Shooting Jan 2014

Acknowledging that he's old would be an easy enough hole to plug from a script standpoint ... there's a hundred different ways you can do it. For instance, you could drop in something about Skynet making a range of "skins" for T800s (young to old) based on the same cloned DNA so they could have a range of disguises.

But, for me, Arnie coming back isn't going to fix what's wrong with the series. Cameron coming back would. But that ain't gonna happen.

The time machine screwed up and sent this Terminator back to 1015 instead of 2015.
He buried himself in a cave for 1000 years in hibernation mode and has now reactivated at the correct time. The skin coating on his body has aged 30+ years in the 1000 years he has been buried.

Re: Terminator 5 - Shooting Jan 2014

The T-800 is an infiltration unit, may be Arnie is going to infiltrate a retirement home?

Yup. Gonna take out John Conners grandparents.

Batfan - I'm up for it. It'll probably be an ambitious misfire in all honesty, considering what's been suggested so far.. but what the heck.

Re: Terminator 5 - Shooting Jan 2014

Sounds like a joke that would have been made in Back to the Future 2.
Hollywood is that brain dead and the general public is that retarded.

Yep.
Tho I wouldn't call Hollywood brain dead since they knew how to make their public retarded.

because criticizing stuff before you see is the cool thing to do.

As cool as promoting the movie before people could see it

The T-800 is an infiltration unit, may be Arnie is going to infiltrate a retirement home?

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

Yeah, this is dumb and contrived. Terminators don't age (the skin wouldn't last long enough), there would be no reason for Skynet to make an older looking CSM-101 model. It wouldn't be practical.

In the two Cameron flicks, the CSM-101 model (Arnold) isn't the face of every T-800 like T3 or Salvation would have people believe. There was the Franco Columbo T-800 (we'll call it the "CSM-100") in the first film. In the original T2 script it called for dozens of different men and women actors for a cold storage scene where John and the Resistance come across the room full of different looking T-800 CSM faces. 10 to a rack. 10 of the Franco Columbo model T-800, 10 of some chick T-800, 10 of African American model, etc. etc. Skynet had dozens and dozens of these infiltration units. John comes across the CSM-101, Arnold models where there were 9 units left (the 1st was obviously sent to 1984). Those 10 had minor variations of hair style, color and looks.

This whole "they all look like Arnold" thing is lame, the fact that the skin (over an ageless metal robot I might add) can "age" now? That makes it even worse.
