T2 is a rare exception to the rule, sequels suck.

Just because you brought it up(about people making weapons, you might wanna watch the short clip or even the whole thing, of oppenheimer, the clip is not even a minutie, its called " I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"

Hard to believe the movie is over 30 years old and the special effects still hold up really well. The issue with sequels or any follow up for that matter is 'power creep', if Magic: The Gathering(MTG) will allow me to steal the term. If you make a sequel or a continuation of some sort there is a feeling you must be better and/or have more of what ever made the original so good. When you have multiple sequels like in The Fast and The Furious you have to keep out doing the previous movie to point of ridiculousness. In the case of Magic: The Gathering you want your next set of magic cards to feel more powerful and better than the previous. For that reason the power slowly creeps up as you try to make stronger/better cards.

Some people don't like Terminator 3, but I always did. So I hope you watch it.

Terminator 2 is easily the best for me with Terminator 1 in second. I actually enjoyed what they did for Terminator 3, but I won't go into any detail as it could spoil the narrative. The rest of the Terminator movies are varying levels of ok-ish. If you ended here I think you would be good.

Mentioning wanting to see Arnold in some other movies, for some fun holiday laughs, “Jingle All the Way” is great, “True Lies” also directed by James Cameron is action comedy romance co starring Jamie Lee Curtis, and for an neat watch at Arnold poking fun at himself and his action star persona, “Last Action Hero”.

She appears to be using the Special Edition cut at 2 hours 33 minutes Theatrical Cut (137 min.) Special Edition (153 min.) Ultimate Cut (156 min.)

I loved your reaction Mari, as always! I hope you can make it through to the end of the work year OK. I'm thinking about you and Lawrence. A few little things to help with your understanding: The word 'chopper' being used as slang for any generic helicopter dates back to the vietnam war. The OH13 helicopter had a distinct sound coming from its rotors that resembled a chop chop sound, and the rest, as they say, is history The minigun that the T-800 wields is in fact the same minigun carried by Jessie Ventura's character in Predator. The truck that the T-1000 steals to chase John at the beginning is actually the same as the toy that Arnold's terminator from the first movie runs over as he pulls up to the first Sarah Connor on his list. Skynet built thousands of terminators and several hundred of them were given the Arnold skin. I LOVE this movie, HOWEVER, the way they misrepresent the M79 grenade launcher absolutely makes me insane when I watch T2, because the reality is that the grenades have a 15 meter arming radius. When the terminator is standing 2 meters away from the door and then other door and then the wall, what ACTUALLY would have happened is the grenade would have harmlessly bounced off the surface it was fired at instead of exploding. SIGH.....movie STUPIDITY..... Others in the comments have talked at length about Linda's twin sister doubling for her at multiple points in the film. I feel like that was wonderfully executed by Cameron. Sadly Leslie passed away in 2020. I personally would recommend skipping ALL of the other films because they take a supersonic nose dive straight into the shitter after the second one. The Sarah Connor Chronicles, while stupidly named (in my humble opinion) is a pretty good show but was canceled after two seasons so there isn't very much OF it...... I strongly agree that watching True Lies and Total Recall would be a good choice for you. I also think that you should watch the director's cut of the abyss, another one of James Cameron's masterpieces. I firmly believe that you would enjoy that one very much. Looking forward to your christmas eve stream-a-thon, my friend.

I watched the watch along. Not bad at all. There were a lot of time I did have to pause and rewind because your version was showing more in a scene and times I had to pause and wait till it started showing what I was seeing on my end. But I was keeping up and still enjoyed this. Whoever made The Terminator theme has to be rich. This song fits perfect. Dean Norris who plays Hank in Breaking Bad as a cop. The part where Dyson is holding the bomb saying "I don't know how much longer I can hold this," that's where Dean is yelling "Everybody move out." I heard his voice and I looked him up and that is him. He only had a small part. What makes this movie different from other action films is they're futuristic cyborgs that are program to kill or protect John Connor at any cost. Not caring about the well being of other people. They are destructive like you how you see them in the future so it makes sense how destructive they are in the city on their mission. My two favorite James Cameron movies are Aliens and Terminator 2. I would say Alita Battle Angel, but Cameron only co wrote and produced it.

It's a great movie, but 3 was always my favorite of the series. I found it easier to relate to the characters in 3 and it's a more modern movie with better effects (IMHO).

Andrew Skow

Yes Mary, please consult David prior to recording to see what version of the film works best for him. /s

Brian

You have most definitely seen all of the Terminator movies worth watching.

I think you forgot to add "In my opinion" to your blanket declaration. When I post an opinion somewhere I am careful to present it as an opinion and not as a statement of fact. So, respectfully, I disagree with your opinion.

Richard Maurer

Seriously. There's a lot of really good movies you haven't watched yet, don't waste your time on inferior sequels.

Not an opinion, it's a fact. T3 is entertaining enough but is by no means necessary or canon.
