Terminator 2

[Chairman Meow]

“AI is not good at answering the type of questions that require an ability to grasp meanings across a broad spectrum,” Noriko Arai, a professor at the National Institute of Informatics, told Kyodo news agency.

 

 

So pretty much perfect for politicians then.

I'm not sure why the op is phrased as a question.

 

If it was a statement, I'd agree.

So you think its a classic. Simple question.

I feel like this thread has been re-opened by someone who has travelled back in time specifically to look for one person.

 

If anyone phones you and says "Give your address dere" hang up immediately.

30 years old, great interview with the cast and crew.

Yes. 
 

Of my favourite films.

 

Like Alien & Aliens, the original was a sci-fi / horror and the sequel was a balls to the wall action / sci-fi.

 

Obviously know Cameron did Aliens. 
 

They don’t make anything as fresh and as exciting as those moves any more, just ever expanding worthless franchises (Fast & Furious 12ty or whatever) or piss weak diluted sequels. 
 

When was the last time something as innovative as these came out? The Matrix? That was > 20 years ago now. Avatar was technically new, but a fairly familiar story.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Top drawer action film. 3 hours of breathless exhilaration and fun.

Cyborg's don't feel pain. I do.

I'm not the biggest fan of this. The Edward Furlong character is thoroughly irritating (I was almost willing the T1000 to gut the little twat) and the notion of Arnie as a 'non-killy/father figure' Terminator is horrible.

 

The less said about the 'Thumbs-up' ending the better. Fucking hell.

 

As others have pointed out though, there are some brilliant action sequences and it has aged very well; it's hard to believe it's the best part of 25 years old.

 

The first film is one of the greatest sci-fi films ever - an undisputed classic.

The thumbs-up at the end might look a bit cringe worthy but Sarah's closing monologue explains it perfectly. It's also a message to John Connor from his future self.

Along with the death of Micky Goldmill and the loss of Wilson in Castaway the thumbs up is the only time it's acceptable for a man to cry.

Thank you Section. Gets me feeling lumpy throated every time. That and the lion king death scene, as well as the Armageddon scene. Perhaps I’ve got daddy issues come to think of it?

Armageddon gets me every time. Not just when Bruce Willis dies, but also when the other fellas son turns up to meet him when the survivors land. Proper tearjerking stuff that.

[Mook]

There must be something wrong with me as I absolutely pissed myself laughing at Armageddon. We used to rewind Ben Affleck's crying bit when we were stoned & roll about laughing at it.

 

DON'T WANNA CLOOOOOOSE MY EYES, DON'T WANNA FAAAAAALLLL ASLEEP

 

Awful.

[Kepler-186]

This popped up on FB. 
 

Here’s a sample:

 

“I remember sitting there once, high on E, writing notes for ‘Terminator,’ and I was struck by Sting’s song, that ‘I hope the Russians love their children too,'” Cameron said. “And I thought, ‘You know what? The idea of a nuclear war is just so antithetical to life itself.’ That’s where the kid came from.”

Absolute shite.

 

My first adult girlfriend, around 17-18 years old, when you're expected to do 'grown up' stuff and not just finger her, badly, behind a bus shelter after a skinful of cheap cider.

 

Anyhows she brings that turgid fucking nonsense round to my house with the intention of drinking and being a grown up couple and asks if 'it could be our song?'

 

No, of course not.

 

I laughed hystericaly and asked if she was serious, she was, we split up that evening.

At 17/18 I would have accepted Combine Harvester by the Wurzels as ‘our song’ so long as I could continue getting my end away 24/7.

[Bjornebye]

Fucking hell by 17/18 I was balls deep in girls from Naples, Marseilles, Rotterdam..... Oh and Plymouth, Portsmouth, Erdington ...... But yeah none of them 'missed a thing' either if I'm honest. 

 

The cheese in them disaster movies just ruins them. Thats why Greenland the recent one on Amazon Prime is decent because it's not got some super soppy song and love story.

Funny as fuck.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I find independence day unwatchable now due to the pure American cheese, at the time it was decent because the effects where insane. A bit like Jurrasic Park where my memory has upgraded the special effects as the years have gone by but I watch it now and think that looks fucking terrible.

Yeah the film is but the effects are shite compared to how I remembered them. Jurassic Park is watchable regardless of the effects aging but Independence days cheese can't be covered by them anymore.

Haven't seen it for years but doesn't Will Smith drag an alien across the floor then accuse it of farting? At least Men in Black was realistic.
