Why is there an American flag behind Sarah Connor? It makes it look like one of those Iran-Iraq War or IRA martyr murals.

Because Americans are really weird and creepy when it comes to flag waving.

Waffleman_ posted:4 was the pirate game. 3 was the American Revolution. 2/Brotherhood/Revelations was the Renaissance, Unity was the French Revolution in the immediate wake of Les Mis, and the new one's Victorian London. Most of the settings rear end Creed goes for are honestly pretty stock-standard for period stuff, the only reason they seem unique in video games is because we rarely get outright period stuff.

Even in movies, we somewhat rarely get period action stuff in those eras.

It's like they thought it was only going to take up 2 buildings and had no idea what to do with the third. "Sure, just fill the top 1/8th of this building-sized poster with the title and release date, that should be enough to draw their attention."

Just have replaced Emilia Clarke with Jai Courtney so Arnold could be sandwiched between two inanimate objects.

Not since Movie 43 have I seen a movie's marketing so consistently fail to make it look good. And Movie 43 was just commercials, this is fuckin' everything.

The big Terminator Sysgendir trailer includes the boss fight and the dramatic twist, so they're definitely not pulling a "keep the good stuff close to the chest" trailer. It's one of those trailers where every joke in the comedy movie is in that trailer. In any just world that turd would be a September release and Fury Road would have gotten the 4th of July weekend.

Maybe Maisie Williams would be a better Sarah Conner. Terminating people is what she does in GoT. It's a good match.

I like her well enough on the show – and she did up her game when she got to act across from Peter Dinklage – but man does that goodwill not extend to this loving trainwreck. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:If they'd gone back in time to find Sarah Connor as a 10 year old, sure. You know, they do show this in the trailer, so it would be a cute bit of casting if she's supposed to be infantilized by virtue of having had a Terminator protector since she was a little girl.

I don't think Linda Hamilton (or you know, Arnold) are really good enough actors that the standards to which we're holding actors in the Terminator films makes sense.

Compare the impression you'd have of Peter Dinklage, Alfie Allen, Charles Dance, Gwendoline Christie, or Stephen Dillane with Emilia Clarke after only having seen them in Game of Thrones.

I mean, like I say, if we're doing Disney XD Terminator, sure, but otherwise give me a break. It helps that they way Hamilton's Connor is reacting to the Terminator and her responsibility is pretty much the Kuebler-Ross five stages of grieving: denial at the Terminator's existence and Reese's claims, depression when learning her friends have been killed, bargaining with the police and the criminal psychologist over it being a possible delusion of Reese's, anger at Reese and John Connor for dumping this on her, and finally acceptance.

It helps that she is forceful, committed and convincing in every way: as a bad mother, as a good mother, as a delusional psych-ward patient, as a thoroughly convinced survivalist, etc. On the other hand, you this apple cheeked little kid with dimples trying to bark orders.

Which works fine on Game of Thrones because she's supposed to be out of her depth and skating on genetic good luck, but nothing we've seen for Genisys suggests this sort of awareness.

Folks didn't realize just how good they had it with Terminator Salvation. But let's not kid ourselves; Genesis is going to be on par with Terminator 3. It won't be a total fiasco.

Also, shlubby hash-slinger Hamilton Sarah saw the poo poo go down and roid-raged into T2 master tactician/survivalist Hamilton Sarah. Clarke Sarah has had 15+ years to get poo poo together and prepare to kick robots in the dick, but she just looks and feels like a sweet, babyfat-cheeked, harmless high school girl. Her look, her presence, her voice, none of it sells me on her being self-sacrificing valkyrie that T2 Hamilton pulled off. If they were going to pull someone from the popular tv show Game of Thrones to play Sarah Connor, it should have been Lena Headey or whatshername that plays Osha, Bran's wildling pal.

The one thing I remember the most, especially from the first film, is her yelling at Reese about not wanting be "the mother of the future". It's very obvious that it's coming from somewhere, that she's straight-up fed up with all this poo poo that's happened, the Tech Noir shootout, her dead friends, the police station attack, that she has the rant because it's been building up inside her through the movie. A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Also, shlubby hash-slinger Hamilton Sarah saw the poo poo go down and roid-raged into T2 master tactician/survivalist Hamilton Sarah. I'm pretty sure that the casting was done by focus group, judging that we also have Matt Smith in an naked appeal to bring in the Doctor Who fan base and Byung-Hun Lee for the international market.
