The "All things TERMINATOR" thread.

Yes, Patrick was part of a team...the T2 team that is!

It's the most spectacular film ever created, Khev. Didn't you watch the video?

It earned 52 million dollars on its opening weekend alone. It's the biggest most exciting event in the history of video.

T2 got nothing on Batman Forever yo.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Whoa! Bigger, Battier, and Better than Evah!! I want to be part of that team!!!

Batman Forever had the biggest box office opening ever by surpassing T2 by one million?

You'd think Jurassic Park had that record before Batman Forever. The positive mainstream reviews are also surprising, considering how modern reviews are mixed.

 

[DiFabio]

It's bigger and better than Batman, Batman Returns, Forrest Gump, Jurassic Park and Cinderella.

That Batman Forever video takes me back to when I worked at Incredible Universe in late 1995. I worked with the big screen TV's and got to choose the laserdiscs that played on the main audio/video demo that would run on a loop in the middle of the store. I pretty much defaulted to the Hoth battle from the then brand new THX ESB laserdisc but would sometimes alternate that out with the opening of Batman Forever. I really liked the sound with the main credits flying across the screen.

One afternoon I played the final dogfight from Top Gun but got reprimanded for all the profanity that was echoing through the store as parents were walking by with their little kids. "They must be close, I'm gettin' a hard-on!" Etc., lol.

This film looks pretty good. The trailer might be giving away too much though.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Oh Arnie is the good guy this time around?

 

[a-dev]

Stunts look totally done for real. Pass. I need CGI vehicle chases that have no regard for physics and plausibility.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I hope it gets sequels, and keeps the same formula as Arnie as the protector. That's definitely the right way to go.

 

[EVILFACE]

Meh, Arnold looks smaller this time around. Didn't they have a gym on the set?

 

[DiFabio]

This film looks pretty good. The trailer might be giving away too much away.

I'm sick of all these ****ing sequels. This looks like utter dog ****. That stupid CGI mercury man is going to look dated 20 years from now. What is Cameron thinking.



The toys look pretty good tho.

 

[a-dev]

YMCA T-800 and T-1000!! I'll be buying multiples.

 

[DiFabio]

I'm surprised they're making John Connor, as a toy the character seems too niche.

The likeness of Arnold is amazing!!

I hope they make his bike, like the one he uses in the trailer!!

 

[DiFabio]

Say no more fam.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Nice, those tires look like chocolate donuts.

This film looks pretty good. The trailer might be giving away too much though.

Looks like the new transfer suffers from the same issues as the Predator blu ray- too much DNR which causes the faces to look waxy. The search for a proper transfer of T2 continues then.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

They look like HT figures now

 

[Jameson Rook]

They look like HT figures now

Touché

It looks like T2 will forever be cursed not having a good transfer. All the 3 BD versions released in the last 10 years were nowhere near as great as they could be, which is funny because the T1 remaster released few years back was sublime, absolutely gorgeous.

indeed. Also needs more collateral damage sequences aside from the nuclear attack. Movie body count should be in the hundreds of thousands and if projected damage costs are not at least 500 Billion it's totally unbelievable as a movie.

Ugh I'm getting old... I owned that Bike Cop T-1000. I still remember the play set that came with an Endo, and you could cover it with a skin that you pour into a mold.
