My ranking goes:

1. Terminator 2
2. Terminator
3. Terminator: Salvation
4. Terminator: Genisys
4. Terminator: Rise of the Machines

I gave Salvation its ranking because I judged the movie not on what the movie ought to be but for what IT was - and it was pretty entertaining for me.


I've read that they plan on re-releasing T2 in theaters in October but in 3D? Is that still going to happen?

Re: The "All things Terminator" thread.

I'd have to rank them:

Terminator
T2
TSCC (very underrated series, crying shame it was canned before it really was starting to take off)
Rise of the Machines (I'm one of the few who liked it, don't get the hate on it, as it ended the only way it SHOULD have ended on a downer)
Salvation (the unshot but supposedly written alternate ending would have been a good way to go with it)
Genisys (ok in parts but the robbing of lines and shots was less of a 'homage' to me vs. blatant 'we don't know what to really do here')

No amount of reboots or alternate castings for any subsequent movie will ever eclipse the first movie. I don't care about having better FX either. It worked for a reason. The right people were cast in the right roles. Every subsequent recast with certain roles just hasn't stood up.

The Robocop Vs Terminator comics were actually pretty good! Superman Vs Terminator though.. yuck.

Superman vs Aliens/Predator/Terminator etc etc are so bad.

It's always the same, gizmo to weaken Superman to fight these ****s, they don't mix well, but Batman vs all those are fantastic.

I've heard Superman vs the Darkness is pretty good, it makes sense since the Darkness is a powerful entity unlike all of the above.

That's cool! One of my friends takes pictures, chooses a filter, then paints it.

So cool what app do you use?

Thanks guys! It's a free app called Prisma, I'm not sure if it's on Android since I got it on IOS. They have tons of filters to mess with and I find myself just snapping pics of toys like a mad person. Try it out, it's fun.

I don't do apps. I've still got an old Nokia candybar-type phone. With buttons.

It still works, the screen isn't smashed, it fits in one hand while leaving enough thumb functionality to operate one handed. The miniaturisation trend reached its optimum level with my phone. Of course once they switched to touch-screen and using phones for internet and social networking it all had to go bigger again but I find them awkward to handle. Although I think candy bar phones are almost extinct. I may be forced to evolve when this one dies.

"buys 300 dollar figures every other month

Re: The "All things Terminator" thread.

Are you implying that updating to the latest phone every other month is a more worthwhile endeavour?

I just don't care about phones. If it can text and make and receive phone calls that's all I need it for. I use my laptop for the internet.

no not every month lol. I dont do that. I didn't mean that, Smartphones are just very useful and very accessible. they are the future.

smartphones are very good because you have access to the internet anywhere in your city, in the bus, at the restaurant, at the movies, you could be talking to us while waiting to see suicide squad
is not about being addicted to the internet or anything like that but sometimes is nice to have wikipedia or youtube ready on the go. if there's a traffic jam i can check some videos or read the news, if im waiting for an appointment and its taking a long time i can just go to flickr and check pics of toys.

there is a lot of fun games and a lot of apps that are very useful, apps or games that are not available for PC. some android specific games and programs that are a lot of fun. there are news apps, pics apps, music apps, you can even learn stuff. there are a lot of cool free games like zombie shooting or marvel fighting games.

there are some really cheap smartphones too, Cricket has really nice deals and some phones were as low as 19.99, so it is not even an issue of being expensive because you can have a good phone for 20. I love cricket, their plan is cheap and their phones are really nice. their people are very helpful and nice too. best company Ive had to deal with. (not a sales pitch either , they are just the easiest to deal with as far as phone companies go)

I know you said you only care about text and about calls and you use your laptop for the internet (I used to be the same way before)
but having access to all the cool apps and games is really nice. i was looking at French lessons the other day in the bus for example. then I went to eat and kept looking at the lessons while waiting for the food. Then when my friend showed up we looked at reviews for suicide squad on youtube. then on the way home a shot zombies lol

I was about to suggest that, I'd love to see those 3A MGS figures with these. Try it out, it's free.
