Spike ,'Potential'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I don't think that Skynet should be all taunty like a James Bond villain. It's undignified.
That rather bothered me. It was too "muahaha" mustache-twirling.
From other articles I've read, my major problem with the movie is Bale's meddling. I'd be fascinated to see what the story would have been if Connor's role had been small as originally intended, and Marcus the definitive main character.
I didn't realize until after that Kyle was played by the guy who is the new Chekov!
Terminator:
Is it true that an original ending of the film was for John Connor to become a machine?
How was that supposed to work?
I've seen all but four on that Esquire list. It's kind of an interesting mix of gold and crap.
Boy, I'm not doing well with that list--I've only seen 33 of them. Of course, there's a lot of classics I've never seen, and that list is a guy list so there's no musicals, which is my favorite genre.
From what I read a while back, the original ending (or one of the previous endings) was that Connor dies at the end, and Marcus basically puts on his skin. I kind of admire how insane that is, but: nuts. And then apparently there was also something where Marcus-as-Connor then kills everyone -- I guess to cover the replacement? Or just to be a dick, I don't know.
I can fanwank putting Reese on the hitlist since there would be records that he protected Sarah in the past. I'm okay with Skynet knowing "apparently in the future I'll want to do this, and it's safe to assume there's a good reason." But I'm not looking for a lot of sense in Terminator movies. So many of their problems could be avoided if someone just said "Have you ever considered changing your damn name?"

Yes, but you do admit that some of your crap is other peoples' gold, right?
ETA (lovingly): Fucking hipster!
I was surprised that American History X wasn't on that Esquire list.
Fan trailer for a movie that will never be.
Part of me wants to say some people have just waaaaaaay too much time on their hands, the other part wants to just simply stand back and say, DANG.
And in semi-related news, anyone know what the music is they used? It sounds super familiar and I know it was used in for another trailer, at least-- Wolverine, maybe? It's going to drive me nuts until I figure it out.
Star Trek music was used.
It took the person 2 months off and on to do the vid.
