It never occurred to me that Matt Daemon and Leo DiCaprio look alike. Which I think makes sense since they don't.

Brad Garrett and Patrick Warburton are the same person.

A decade ago, during the like two weeks I tried to use Twitter, I made this joke that Patrick Warburton and Brad Garrett were the same person, and weirdly one of them (I honestly don't remember who), his wife replied with this anecdote about the single time the two worked together and it was real sweet.

I loved Salvation. I don't understand why everyone hates it? I guess I went in with no expectations, and I hadn't seen this great trailer everyone talks about. All I knew is: Christian Bale is John Connor and it's future stuff. There are things I didn't like about it, but the whole ride I thought was great. I thought it tied in well enough with 1, 2, 3 while being able to pretty well stand on its own as its own thing. The twist ending was also really fitting and, well for me, it surprised me at the time.

For an unrelated thing, I happened upon this quote from Terminator.

quote:

Dr. Peter Silberman: [56:24] Why didn't you bring any weapons, something more advanced? Don't you have, uh... ray guns? Show me a piece of future technology.

Detective Hal Vukovich: [watching from a monitor,chuckling] Ray guns?

Kyle Reese: You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go.

Dr. Peter Silberman: Why?

Kyle Reese: I didn't build the loving thing!

It's always been one of those LOL OBVIOUS things, but why not just send a ray gun or a nuke back in time surrounded by living tissue, since you can do it to a whole cyborg. But here it clears it up in a really satisfying way: Kyle Reese didn't build the loving thing. He doesn't know. This is his guess, and he makes it clear he's ignorant about the science behind it.

It just feels good to see that after all this time, I don't know. I always thought he had explained it in a very factual way. Shrug.

I saw From Dusk Til Dawn when I was really young and only remembered it for being the movie about vampires and that guy with the dick pistol. Years later when I watched it again I was insisting this wasn't the right movie, because there were no vampires, and this is some movie about a kidnapping or something.

The ideal way to kill John would just be to spread yourself out so much that you turn into a balloon, and you fly high above the city, and wait for John Connor to go on a bike ride, and then you condense yourself into an anvil and crush him from 500 feet.

I'm finally watching Sarah Connor Chronicles. I'd only ever seen like a commercial of it once or twice. Immediately what strikes me is how much better this show would be without Sarah constantly waxing poetic about humanity and hope or whatever. Which I know was kind of a thing from the films, but that makes me wonder if the films wouldn't also be better if they just omitted that. Oh, wait, wasn't she recording all that for John to hear later? Well, anyway, it's excessive and annoying. I'm also really surprised to see Lena Heady as Sarah Connor! Had no idea. And that girl who played River in Firefly is the friendlybot. Neat! John is appropriately annoying. He uses a search engine called LeSearch, and also ICQ Lite ha

Intrigued by what I've read in this thread, I've been watching TSCC and wow, this feels like it would be a great show if it had come out maybe fifteen years later. This came out I think before 24? Before shows started having progressively developing plots. But everything about this kind of sucks. All the CG is dated extremely badly, all the violence is held back, it's got way too much of that mouthbreather-girl look that was for some reason super attractive for a while, and a lot of the actors they use have the charisma of a potato. And just the general bad parts of Terminator -- like instead of killing their target they throw them around a bit, and also terminators are weirdly bad shots.

But it would be hard to make a Terminator movie starting out in modern times. Having to use a phonebook or break into school records to even find John Connor is a big part of the hunt and all that is made pretty redundant by today's technology and social media.

I was thinking that it was perhaps a compromise of standards of violence on television from that era. It is a really well executed scene though, being able to convey all the action of an otherwise expensive heavy action scene with something nuanced and suggestive.

This show sure immediately gets stupid, though.

I'm a bad terminator now. Why? Because explosion made me goofy. Now I'm a good terminator. Why? Uhhhh because I made a promise not to kill you? What the gently caress?

also: Why the gently caress do they keep sending John to school? Even in 2008 or whatever this was filmed in, there comes a point where your picture is so well known and connected to things that -- also what is even the POINT of trying to blend in? So John can grow up and be a senator if things work out? Also: "John, you need to go to school," she says, and the next scene shows John with a hosed UP FACE in the hallway. Yeah, this kid who clearly cuts his own hair and still has what seem to be open wounds all over his face, that's a great way to stay under the radar john loving connor
