SuperMechagodzilla posted:Terminator 1 is fundamentally about a waitress being chased by a psychotic junkie. Terminator 2 is about a kid and his quasi-imaginary friend being chased by a maniac cop. The films have never been about literal robot combat. I always wondered why Skynet wouldn't just wrap a nuclear bomb in some tissue and send it back.

Apparently, some promo event where they said they were going to show T2 and ten minutes of Dark Fate had them show all of Dark Fate. As far as spoilers and that leak go: there are some minor changes, but it's all true.

You send a nuke to LA to kill Sarah Conner and you probably do get her. But at the same time you also get hundreds of thousands of other humans, any one of which might be instrumental in your creation. It also runs more tangential risks. LA gets nuked in the 80's, maybe Reagan snaps back and destroys the Soviet Union leading to judgment day without the robots. Maybe the horror of it goes full watchmen and provokes world peace and a drawdown of the nuclear stockpiles you need for judgement day. Hell, maybe it just makes humans think twice before putting an AI in charge of the nuclear stockpile. The point of killing conner is that he isn't important to the world before judgement day. You kill him and ideally, Skynet thinks it wins. Sending a bomb back in time makes things far too chaotic to predict.

I can't tell if they're intentionally sarcastic or accidentally sarcastic, but I love their tone either way. Let's give it a try. Terminator: BPB is literally the Hobbs & Shaw of the Terminator universe. An explosive mix of blue and purple plasma beams that put the future... in the present! Ed Furlong teaches the T-800 all new amazing swear words and catch phrases. #TBPB Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Oct 21, 2019 |

I had no intention to see this movie, but that recent trailer showing the terminator kill like a dozen members of the CBP makes me mildly hopeful that there will be some entertaining scenes.

The Human Crouton posted:Way too many early reviews are mentioning "The Force Awakens". It seems like they were all given a list of talking points. Nah, it's probably even simpler: the audience got a promo with the producers/directors/stars and were told "we're attempting to make the Force Awakens of Terminator" and when the 'critics' liked the movie they stuck with that. I found the Collider article that collects the reactions (https://ew.com/movies/2019/10/20/terminator-dark-fate-reactions/) and it sounds like this is going to be a perfectly acceptable movie that fails to capture the lightning in a bottle of T1 and T2, which isn't surprising.

It's real, all of it. Except half the franchise. And half the movies in the half that's real, because the timeline changed. And the part about Skynet.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991) is the best non-Cameron Terminator movie. Change my mind.

These reviews sound horrible. I hated the Star Trek reboot except the casting. I don’t want a rehash bullshit of what came before. I want to tread and explore new ground Well Abrams is responsible for Trek and Force Awakens poo poo so maybe Tim Miller can do better Gatts fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Oct 21, 2019 |

Tim Miller is the shittiest director of our time. Deadpool is an incredibly ugly film with one good action sequence that he didn't even come up with. Hopefully this leads to him never directing a film again.

my new Terminator concept: promises to tie the entire series together satisfactorily then proceeds to rehash plot points, contradict each installment, contradict itself, treat characters a little too interchangeably, occasionally forget what film franchise it's part of, discard any sense of continuity, churn through half-baked ideas faster than any best-hits-of-sci-fi series, and concludes with a Terminator time traveling back into Skynet's core chamber an hour before Judgement Day, approaching the main console and typing in: "my new Terminator concept:"

At this point they might as well explore the post-post apocalyptic world where humanity just defeated Skynet/Legion/AI and has begun to rebuild. The Terminator angle would be about the remaining sentient Terminators like Carl who are trying to blend in just to live out their lives. Basically Terminator meets Bladerunner but in a completely wrecked planet and slightly different set of philosophical existential issues. John Connor effectively becomes the narrative's antagonist as the humans are hard-liners to destroy the last of the machines who just want to hold on to their sentient existence.

While I think this is true, of the few "famous" directors that people know about, I actually believe Michael Bay to be among that select few. Verizon even made him their spokesmen for a campaign some years ago based on his reputation for explosions. A quick google search actually just taught me that he did the original "Got Milk?" commercial with the who shot Alexander Hamilton radio contest, which I think is among the best ads of all time and has given me a bit more respect for him.

Bay is a decent director, he's just climbed up his own rear end like most directors do when they don't have to worry about money or success any more. https://twitter.com/joeylinn_/status/1186674786811834369?s=19 I actually laughed at this, interesting advertising choice but the execution worked better than you might think.
