J.H. 1,608 Posted July 19 If you're going to bring Sigourney Weaver back to something it should be a sequel to Working Girl! James 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxB 5,291 Posted July 19 They're bringing Edward Furlong back, apparently. Usually he just plays Meth dealers nowadays. That's him in The Green Hornet, playing a Meth Dealer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Crow: Wicked Prayer with Edward Furlong as the Crow is one of the worst films I've ever seen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Fowler 12,839 Posted July 20 Ghostbusters is a bigger hit, but Alien is much closer to the same vein as Halloween and The Terminator. And she was THE star of Alien the way JLC was Halloween. Ghostbusters, not so much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Natural 21,201 Posted August 30 (edited) Just came out a few hours ago: Redband: Like them more than the first which disappointed. Redband trailer is the best so far. Edited August 30 by The Natural 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raziel 6,896 Posted August 30 Ok, that trailer took me from "eh" to "I'm in" pretty quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 9,534 Posted August 30 Same here. This is the first time I can say that a new Terminator movie looks really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 2,351 Posted August 30 Yeah those were some damn fine trailers. I was probably going to watch regardless just due to my dad and brother probably wanting to see it, but now I'm actually a little excited for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niners Fan in CT 11,962 Posted August 31 Redband trailer got me. Fucking dammit.. just when I think I'm out. Is it me or does this look like some practical effects with the cars and explosions? They look pretty good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheVileOne 1,687 Posted August 31 The latest trailer is an improvement over the previous one, but it still looks like we're retreading Genisys territory. Still not sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxB 5,291 Posted September 2 Starting to think? Did you not watch any of the movies since T2? I think that's why Avengers Endgame went so hard on "You can't change the past" in the time travel. Because everyone who's tried to do anything in the Terminator universe has ended up tied in knots with all the plotting having to make sense when it narratively can't.

Curt McGirt 7,360 Posted September 2 (edited) The Honest Trailer for T2 totally ripped the entire logic of the series to pieces. After watching that I can't even take the first one seriously. I mean, it still rules, but there is no logic there. Edited September 2 by Curt McGirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first two work because you don't think about it (though I wish they had kept the two little mentions that the factory at the end of the first one is Cyberdine) Especially the first or when it never gives you time to think.

Yeah I did but they had good intentions and an intriguing enough premise that I went along with it. And now I’ve learned that in spite of those good intentions or a decent concept the magic just really isn’t there and it probably never was to begin with and nothing can be done about it even with James Cameron’s involvement 3 was rough, saved somewhat by a decent final act. Salvation might have been okay if the story hadn’t been redone to accommodate Christian Bale, Genysis sounded great in theory by paying homage but retelling the narrative so it wasn’t beholden to it but was ultimately nothing but set pieces In an age of ‘franchise everything’ some stuff just really shouldn’t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
