In the award winning film “Underwater” (2020) the term “buoyancy compensators” is misspelled “boyancy compenasators” during the opening credits on the station blueprints. I like to think this shows the company can’t even be bothered to spellcheck things, let alone do the proper research on how to combat Cthulhu

Some dogs are just better at sussing out bad vibes than others

Their hands were kinda tied though. They were crazy deep underwater and didn't have access to a boat to dome him with.

Dogs bark at evil robots. Arnold is a good robot in T2.

I always assumed the dogs had to be trained to bark at terminators. Your golden retriever isn't going to start barking at coke unless it's been trained as a drug dog.

A lot of animals freak out at people or animals that smell wrong. I know if one of my cats had to stay at the vets overnight when he came back the other would freak the gently caress out about it.

Heh, could well be that the T-800 has been around humans long enough it's starting to smell human. At that point in the movie especially iirc it's starting to act more human, having casual conversations with Sarah and John, actually smiles when picking up the minigun and asks John his opinion of it.

Perestroika posted:Similarly, Dunkirk fell far short of its potential for much the same reasons. So he doesn't like to use CGI and prefers to shoot things in-camera, fair enough. But if you're trying to make a film about a historical event whose entire point was that it was one of the absolutely most gargantuan maritime evacuations in history, something's gotta give. Either you somehow manage to rustle up enough extras to at least begin to convey the scale, or you use available tools to fake it. Or you pull a Nolan and end up making the whole thing look like a lazy Thursday afternoon in a tourist town during off-season. No amount of (admittedly cool) real Spitfires can make up for that. What bothered me most about Dunkirk was how goddamn clean and orderly everything looked. You've got hundreds of thousands of dudes in a defeated army sitting on a beach and there's just no debris or equipment. The scene in Atonement conveyed Dunkirk far better than Nolan's entire movie.

My Lovely Horse posted:There's a deleted scene before that, which has been restored in probably most cuts you can get these days, where John and Sarah enable the T-800s behaviour learning routines, which is probably the more canonical reason for his literal attitude switch but on a thematic level, yeah. Yeah, they really should have left this in the theatrical cut. I always liked the small touch of the T-800 noticing how long he was offline for (Sarah almost smashes his CPU when it's removed, John stops her because they need his help), and asks "Was there a problem?" Edit: just thinking about my favourite things about the entire Terminator series, and my top 3 are: 1. All of T2 2. The trailer for Salvation 3. The first movie And then literally anything else, with varying degrees of "meh" to "never watching THAT again".

The scene wasn't as much deleted as replaced with a shorter version. The Connors ask Arnie if he can learn to act more human, but instead of explaining that he can but Skynet turns the facility off by default he just says "yes".

It's a shame, because the actual scene they cut out makes the ending a lot more impactful. Plus it was just a really well-done scene and does a good job of explaining why he hadn't been adapting before that outside of "Well, no one asked him to learn". For what it's worth, I prefer The Terminator over T2, but I also refuse to watch the theatrical edition and watch the extender version instead, so my issues with T2 are kinda on me (it drags on a bit, and has too many chase scenes).

I'm gonna assume that anyone who's a Terminator fan has heard of Sgt Candy and the creation of the T-800, but in the off-chance that you haven't, here you go... The only redeemable thing about T3, and it was a deleted scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kayFrIR-Qfw

I remember very little of T3 but wasn't that just a dvd extra rather than a deleted scene?

It was made for the tie-in game and it turned out so good they included it on the DVD as an extra Now a fourth person needs to come in and correct me

flavor.flv posted:It was made for the tie-in game and it turned out so good they included it on the DVD as an extra No, I think you're correct; I'm now remembering that I saw it when I was at my cousin's place, and he was playing a Terminator game (can't remember which).

I mean, the ending of T3 was also a point in its favor, in a bleak "You're a living paradox if Skynet doesn't invent time travel, John. Of course everyone dies" sort of way.

This scene? Neat poo poo: that's not a mirror. It's Linda Hamilton and Arnie on the other side of an empty frame, and in the foreground it's a prosthetic head and Linda's identical twin Leslie

Sometimes I wonder if the T-1000 came out of James Cameron finding out that Linda Hamilton had an identical twin sister and working backwards from there. Otherwise it's one hell of a coincidence.

The security guard that gets mimicked by the T1000 was also a pair of identical twins. I think Jim's got a thing about twins.

James Cameron is actually two twins each named Jame Cameron, kinda like how the "Daniels" who directed Everything Everywhere All At Once is two guys each named Daniel.

There's a scene where this security guard taps on a glass window and it sounds like something blunt and fleshy hitting glass. Later when he has been replaced by the T-1000, he taps the glass again, but the sound is replaced with something metal hitting the glass instead.

I love when movies do things practically but it's so good that it's hard to tell Leslie appears well before that scene in the theatrical cut, in Sarah's dream. She's the Sarah Connor in the playground with the kids. The two of them never share a shot in that scene so there was no particular need to do it, but it allowed Cameron to create the scene without any wardrobe fuckery and using natural reactions and sight lines.
