I was already going to watch it! I loved the first movie.

Oh dear.

Maybe you can explain the end to me. How did getting that cube kill the bad guy when that's what the bad guy came for in the first place?

I have noooooo idea, dude. That was full of so much WTF. But other than that, it was awesome! Heh.

thank you, ita! when i tell people that movie was crap and try to get them to explain the end, they never can and still tell me i'm weird for not liking it.

I liked the experience of the film--the snarky script, the cool fights, the goofy music choices--not so much the plot.

I found it a great big eyeroll. The men I saw it with liked it (the woman didn't) but they couldn't explain the plot to me, or weird things like the robots watching Shia and Megan make out, nor had they anything to say about the "black" robot being the one that bites it. Which was kinda my favourite part of the movie, because the snappy talking poplocking robot being the only good guy down? Hysterical.

I've been thinking about getting a Nissan Cube. And then getting a license plate that says ALLSPARK...but then people would think I'm a fan.

Terminator Salvation is... very loud. Although some of that was the theater, because the ads & previews were ridiculously loud before the movie even started. But usually the actual movie is quieter, and this is 90% explosions and shouting.

I'd give it 3 stars. Sam Worthington is probably one star by himself. I would see it again for him and the fabulously ridiculous action scenes. I might want to fast-fwd through some of the talky/cheesy bits though. But again: see T2. There's nothing as bad as "I know now why you cry," although it did come close a couple of times.

Also, way funnier than I expected. And bonus points for making the most of the one "fuck" you get in a PG-13 movie, because I'm still laughing about that. Although Marcia and I did think that John Connor should have developed a phobia about helicopters.

Also, way funnier than I expected.

Heh, I thought it was generally lacking humor. Where was the one "fuck"? I don't remember.

I agree about Sam Worthington. He was pretty awesome.

It's when... Okay, so Marcus & Williams escape, and John & co. go after them, and then things blow up for a while, and then the robotic snakes attack, and the helicopter crashes into the water. Then there's a PERFECT beat of silence for a second, and then John shouts, "FUCK!"

Hi-larious.

So I rewatched "The Balance of Terror." (My fave ST:TOS EP when I was a kid.) Stiles was the guy who suspected Spock of being a Romulan spy. He told Kirk there was a "Captain Stiles" killed in the Romulan war, as well as three other Stileses.
