π€ "The Terminator" (1984)
I feel like "kill Sarah Connor to prevent the birth of her resistance leader son" should be a, like, pretty precise cut into the timeline and not the absolute butchering the killer robot makes of it here.
All those cops he kills -- good, etc -- who knows whose dads they all are!
Today's film, #2, "Promare." No idea what this one's about but the animation looks cool.
π€ "The Terminator" (1984)
@Alexis A very similar line to one from a parody I once heard about.
π€ "The Terminator" (1984)
@Alexis As a serious answer: Like, yeah. There wasn't the internet. Kids who lived with their parents just hung out wherever they could. Abandoned lots or corporate areas that were less crowded were more ideal for hanging out.
@Alexis good choice in both cases, anyway.
@Alexis@beepboop.one GET TO THE CHOPPER! wait wrong movie
@InspectorCaracal hasta la vista
hasta la windows 8
hasta la windows 10
@Alexis Have fun!
@Alexis I hope you know to stop there! (I've heard Dark Fate might be worthwhile, but otherwise, uhhh)
@naga I already saw Genisys with friends in London, so yeah, uhhh, I know what you mean.
But nothing wrong with a dumb popcorn movie!
@naga I'd only seen the first one beforehand, and lemme tell ya, I bet it makes exactly as much sense *with* all the context.
@Alexis Dark Fate apparently pulls the Highlander trick and ignores the intervening ones (each Highlander sequel, and even the TV series, spun off directly from the first movie)
@Alexis I agree on the verdict.
@Alexis as someone who hasn't seen a single Terminator film, my understanding is: time travel?
@The_T I've *seen* the fourth one, and don't remember a thing about besides Matt Smith playing Skynet, so: I guess?? Probably??
@Alexis sigh should I just go ahead and watch these as well
@Alexis there's a TV series also isn't there. is it Joss Whedon??
@The_T I don't think it's one of his, and I also don't think I need a mid-2000s Fox version of this franchise in my life, honestly.
@The_T Terminator and T2 are legit great action flicks.
@Alexis yeah but surely we can't stop there
@Alexis@beepboop.one that neatly summarizes the core flaw in the terminator franchise
@Alexis The post-T2 movies are the very definition of "wibbly-wobbily timey-wimey"
@Alexis All Terminator movies are just remakes of the first one.
bad word
@Alexis pooper
bad word
@The_T death to all the world's anuses
Today's film, #1, 1984's "The Terminator," because they're showing T2 at the movie theatre this week and it probably works better if I've seen T1 recently.
