The "All things TERMINATOR" thread.

but...but...but...but, how could it travel thru time if it's 'liquid metal' NOT surrounded by living tissue!!

A case could be made that the T-1000 actually was sentient as evidenced by it's screams when "dying" in the molten steel.

He arrived inside of a big sack of human flesh. Cameron opted not to film that though presumably because it would have made a weird as **** visual.

could have done a simple news story overheard in a scene about a big ass pile of discarded seemingly human flesh found in LA...still no need to film it!

Or have the homeless, pantsless man from the first film take refuge in the skin sack and sleep in it.

The idea is very cool tho. They should've just use a human shaped meat.
Something along the lines of bathtub Cromartie.

It always bugged me that the T-800 Pops has to wait 20 years to regrow an arm. You’d think efficient killing machines designed for infiltration would be able to do find ways around it like Cromatie did.

The thing is Cameron was also trying to entertain the idea of keeping it a surprise that the T-800 was the protector this time. If the T-1000 had been shown arriving either in a giant sealed scrotum or in a human-shaped meat sack it would have been pretty definitive that this was some kind of Terminator - and probably the bad guy because why would they now pit a new type of Terminator against just another T-800 villain - the stakes are supposed to be raised in the sequel, not lowered.

By not showing the T-1000 right as he was deposited by the time portal it preserved the idea that he could have arrived just like Kyle Reese, landing painfully - and as such could have just been a human. Granted, his demeanor when you do see him for the first time, along with his accompanying music, is very Terminator-like and this should have been a give-away to most people.

The Terminator 2 and Cameron close connections to the Rodney King beating are always a little weird for me.

Across the parking lot from the Corral (biker bar) there was this dilapidated flophouse with mattresses and needles that was measured up as the possible T-800 arrival site - it looked onto the same corner where King was beaten, same week the location was filmed

 

[a-dev]

I just looked that up. I had no idea.

it shook cameron up. he wrote strange days because of it (has rodney king-type beating as central plot element). it was directed by bigelow who was still his wife during t2, though they were kind of estranged. they were going to live in the dyson house that cameron wanted to buy. it was all metal, concrete and glass. very terminator - lol

he was super tired and everyone was strung out shooting all nights, then that happened with king.

 

[crows]

if the terminators have butts, can they have intercourse? with each other?
like if they were programmed for it ( how human are they? can they get wood?)

He was livin' with a wife for a good chunk of time, and it's safe to say that he had sex with her on more than one occasion.

Implying married couples can't be religious and **** each other's brains out.

It's one of God's great gifts!
