I think I’m kind of relieved he’s just working on projects I don’t care about at all these days. If he came back and did a Ridley Scott to the Terminator franchise, I think that’d be the final nail in the coffin.

He's writing and producing the next Terminator movie (Tim Miller directing).

Well Deadpool was good at least, but that’s not much of a resume there. I honesty don’t know how to feel about that, there’s been worse at least.

By ‘a Ridley Scott’ I specifically mean making a complete pigs ear of it, though. Not just returning to work on it. The rollercoaster emotions of the person who did the best work then making the worst example.

The Terminator franchise is dead, buried, and pissed on. Cameron can't hurt it anymore.

I honestly enjoyed...4? The Christian Bale one? Until the end where he gets a heart transplant in a tent.

I honestly enjoyed almost nothing in 3 except the end.

When John Connor figured out that the machine was well, the internet (I know spooky, high concept) and the shelter he'd been sent to was a '60s relic with what they considered big iron and then the bombs started falling.

4 was alright though

Yeah the ending of 3 was so good, it's a head scratcher as to how the rest of the movie happened. 4 I tried to just look past being a Terminator movie, and just being an unrelated sci-fi action flick and was average enough a way to spend a night in the cinema. I tried to watch Genisys when tired, and never returned to it.

The one where the TX took a crane truck and all John had was a lovely veterinarian's toyota?

It was pretty good, and worth the price

I think the lovely little truck was a throwback to T2

When I was younger I just wanted a whole movie from the 5 minutes of Terminators shooting lasers in the future. 4 made that dream a reality.

3 was good for the video with the Schwarzenegger scientist.

Low Budgement Day is amazing, and there is a longer, 10 min cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDNSI4wRwg8

The film was originally cut to 6 mins for entry in a contest. This 10 minute cut more accurately represents the director's vision.

edit: the best part is Sarah Connor's extended rant. "I'm gonna bust out of here, and I'm gonna start my own mental hospital..."

The movies are already 85% CGI, there's no reason to force anyone to be underwater for that long.

Any particular reason why some filmographies will leave out a director's documentary work? Like I've been going through Godard lately and only just now realized that as fuckin' long as the list I was working from was it was also leaving out his documentaries like A Film Like Any Other.

Read up about the making of the Abyss. Child actors probably won’t be able to punch Cameron if they need to.
