FFT posted:Also it explicitly got the limiter removed. Skynet hosed up letting its terminators know enough to be able to tell someone else how to turn them off of read-only mode. I THINK that bit is only in the directors cut, the theatrical cut just allows the audience to assume that the T800 has learned.

Part of the scene is still there in the theatrical cut, but as I recall it stops when Arnie says he is capable of learning and he doesn't mention that Skynet turns the function off by default when Terminators are in the field.

Morpheus posted:The movie Hush does a good job, from what I remember, of having both the protagonist and antagonist win their respective fights and yet having the other side getting away, without them being dumb. Each get wounded, struggling more and more to fight as the movie progresses, never really giving quarter to the other, because if at any point they're incapacitated, they know they're going to die. Hush does a good job with this, mostly, but it suffers massively from the trope of an outsider showing up and missing all the massive red flags that something is wrong and the protagonist getting dumber when they show up.

Ghost Leviathan posted:There's a lot of little bits that imply the Terminators are actually pretty stupid by default- especially the implications that Skynet deliberately hobbles the intelligence of its robots for fear of being betrayed or usurped. The T-1000 was specifically a last resort because its capabilities scare Skynet. I suppose it's only fitting Skynet fears being usurped by its own creations. T2 even has the two Terminators freeze up a little when they encounter each other- both of them have probably never been programmed with any instructions for what to do in a situation where they have to fight another Terminator, and so have to figure it out from scratch. The first time the two terminators encounter each other, the T-800 just opens fire without hesitating (well, hesitates long enough for John to duck) though I guess you could argue that it's working under explicit instructions at that point, while later on it's having to wing it.

I want a Terminator movie that plays like It Follows. A Terminator with who doesn't say a bunch of goofy one-liners and throw people around. Something that looks human and pretends to be human until it's time to kill, and then it does so with singular purpose.

i just have no interest in a 70 year old Indy Jones. plus harrison ford is kinda a dick about the character, and Han Solo. wasn't there some interview where he snapped and didn't want to discuss those two at all, when they're the roles that made him loving famous?

I can kinda understand. The dude treats acting as his career, and doing 50 years of interviews to just get the same questions over and over about characters you haven't played in literal decades has gotta get on your nerves.

The way I remember it was that Ford was talking to a goon's dad(?) and wanted to demonstrate the fictional character he was talking about. Like any goon tale, it should be taken with an enormous amount of suspicion.

muscles like this! posted:A really bizarre thing about the new Indiana Jones movie is how there's this reveal like 3/4 of the way through the movie that Mads Mikklesen's character had been hiding his true identity all along where his name wasn't Schmidt, it was Voller! This information means absolutely nothing to any character or the audience. He was a Nazi rocket scientist that the US scooped up after WWII as part of Operation Paperclip. Schmidt was the fake name the US government gave him. This wasn’t meant as a surprise, we (the audience) already knew his identity from the opening sequence. This was him defying his CIA handler, going mask off and saying “gently caress NASA and the USA, I’m a Nazi”. Boogaloo Shrimp has a new favorite as of 03:00 on Jul 5, 2023 |
