No standing on one leg bull****.

No kids with speaking parts.

No referencing pop culture ad campaigns like the "I need a vacation" slogan of the late 80's.

No preaching.

But an Asian T-1000 and "Pops"enegger? Yes, please.

I know it's going to fail in pretty much every one of my little categories there - especially the portrayal of the T-800. Heck this is probably gonna be the jokiest and most human T-800 out of all of them.

I don't know, its being helmed by the director of Thor The Dark World and that movie was all business and didn't get sidetracked with cartoony characters nor did it ever poke fun at the main hero or villain.

I agree with all of that. It was done well the first time, why retread old ground.

And like Patrick I'm sure he'll arrive as an Asian, mimic the clothes of the first guy he kills but then revert back to his Asian face in between all other morphings because we can't have T1000's forgetting who is playing them.

The cover with Matt Smith looks like the Endo's 'photo bombing' them.

You made my cry laughing, my wife was like wtf.

Matt Smith's facial features always reminded me of the MMS68 Joker.

The whole ****ing thing seems horrible so far.

Moar

You're on a roll.

Although DiFabio's asian head was pretty lolz as well.

Just the thought of an endo actually photobombing is funny enough but then when you see that that's what it ACTUALLY looks like it becomes downright hilarious.

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

I predict this movie will bring us T1 and T2 brothers together as we witness this story take a big, ole', nasty dump on our favorite films.

Poop will be smeared on 1984 and Kyle Reese. Poop will be smeared on the 1984 Terminator and Uncle Bob. Poop will be smeared on the T-1000. Glorious ***** matter everywhere.

Especially with those goofy as **** teeth.

I'm interested in it for any T1/T2 referencing (or screwing around with) it may do. I think it'll be fun to watch. However I doubt I'll end up counting it as part of my personal Terminator canon.

If I did accept it as a real Terminator film it would have to do/not do the following:

-it would need to 'feel' like the same world as in the first 2 movies (everything from the way it's shot to the dialogue)
-nothing massively OTT in the action
-minimal CGI (only where absolutely necessary and if CGI IS necessary well the scene better be necessary and not OTT)
-few to zero one liners (and absolutely no ****ing breaking the fourth wall as the T-850 did in T3 - Elton John sunglasses scene/''she'll be back'' scene)
-Don't make the T-800 the inadvertent source of humour
-Don't make the T-800 over-powered like in T3 and T4, it's not ****ing Superman
-Don't make the T-800 into C-3P0, able to just plop his head back onto his body like nothing happened ala T3
-Don't make the T-800 into DATA from Star Trek with ****ing psychology subroutines and all that crap
-Go back to Brad Fiedel-type scoring
-if you're gonna **** with T1/T2 events, think it through properly, keep some level of plausibility

I'm sure there must be other things I'm forgetting. Anyone else got some dos and donts for the film?

Remember that the more time the T 800 spends with humans, the more he learns, so if he's been around for a long time in this film, he should not act like a robot at all.

As far as the list goes

The humans should not be sarcastic and make jokes either, like in T3.

I would like to see a cameo of the psychiatrist.

The T800 should talk less. He talked too much in T3.

No romance between Kyle and Sarah...we already saw that.

The T800 should wear the sunglasses for a reason like in T1, unlike in T3, he got them from a gas station for no reason after he lost first pair.

That's it, you pretty much said everything that's wrong with T3.

Two dudes standing in front of a killer robot: BADASS.

T-800s > Ultron Puppets

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

If the Ultron clones are as boring as the IM clones from IM3 I would have to agree.

But going by Spader's Ultron, I don't think that will be the case.

Time to watch T1/T2

Jason Clarke looks like Corey Feldman.

If nothing else, this movie should provide plenty of fodder for all of us. Sure, the Terminator Legacy will die, but we'll have plenty of lulz in the process.

Robocop sucked and had no lolz.

Dredd > Terminator Genysis.

Let's be honest with ourselves here.


Emilia Clarke bewbs > Linda Hamilton bewbs

"Pop" T-800 < Young Ahnuld

Storm Shadow < T-1000

John McClane's son that survived Chernobyl = Michael Biehn???

That last one would be a "<". Three points to one. A franchise cannot survive on bewbs alone.
