Terminator: Genisys

I'm gonna check out Salvation this weekend now that my curiosity is peaked.

The only redeeming quality of T3 was the out-of-the-blue downbeat ending. I gotta say, I did NOT see that coming. Otherwise it was a poorly directed, near-DTV mile of mediocrity.

I just couldn't get past the chicky doodle from "My So Called Life" as the female lead in "T3"

That "chicky doodle" (Claire Danes) has 3 Emmy awards, 4 Golden Globe awards and 2 Screen Actors Guild awards for the Showtime series Homeland.

Maybe now, yeah, but at the time she did "T3" she was mainly known as the chicky doodle from "My So Called Life"... and man, I HATED that damn show!!

I think she had done a couple major movies. Wasn't she in Les Miserables before this? I'd check IMDB but my laptop battery die.

She had gone to college at Yale for a couple of years and kind of dropped out of sight. Terminator was her first major role after college.

A friend at work loaned me the first season of "Homeland" good stuff (IMHO)

I never really cared for any of the older Terminator movies that much. The only part of the story that intrigued me back then was what they finally touched base on in "Salvation". The future war with the machines. The killer robot going back in time was okay the first time, wore thin pretty fast. I liked "Salvation" better than any of them. I'm getting burned out on the overuse of CGI, but a story that interests me goes a long. long way.

I saw this one last night. I will say this, it was entertaining and I thought the direction the movie went was very interesting. The one thing the movie easily lacked was the element of fear. Due to how the movie ended, I would be shocked if there were any more plans moving forward with this series. It seemed to give the viewer the idea that the franchise has run its course.

Rented this one from RedBox a few nights back. I was keeping my expectations low because of the horrendous reviews that it got, but it was pretty entertaining shoot'em up/blow'em up stuff...

...and the new gal playing Sarah Connor was cute.

I saw this and I liked it well enough. I liked the whimsical aged Terminator. Now, because I can't stand the Game of Thrones chick, I was pining for Linda Hamilton the whole time, but that's a minor issue.

Is that who she is? I guess I must be the only person who's never watched G.O.T., cuz I'd never seen her before

You sure about that?

Yikes!

Lord have mercy!!

Smart aleck!! 29 year old Hamilton, not 59.



But, yeah, it's apparently been a wild 30 years for Hamilton. What's she do, farm 8 hours a day in the desert? Bless her heart...

A life of hard living and bi-polar disorder will do that to you:
