God in Heaven. What hath you wrought.
I must say i didn't see this coming. Here we are in 2014. 11 fucking years after T3 came out which I followed vehemently during its production back in high school. Now here I sit and they're making another Terminator with Arnold playing the T-800.
LitTle bit of background info. I saw Terminator 2 on vhs as a kid. It was really blissful that time in my life when I was just hanging out in my living roOm watching movies having a good time.
Miss those days. Saw this fucking masterpiece and was just floored. That truly opened my eyes to the brilliance of action cinema. Little did I know that one day we'd be seeing every fucking movie coming out being an action fest, but truly T2 was the first time that a movie blended reality and spectacle so well. Then later on I saw T2 3D at Universal as a kid. Gotta realize who I am, I'm one of "those" black kids from the 90s. Yeah there are and were quite a few of us back then who basically lived the life style of a typical white kid or white family. Went to theme parks, enjoyed movies, things like that. Certainly didn't have much of a like, sense of the racist shit going on in the world, but my childhood was pretty alien to the way the white world functions. I just went through enjoying white culture and white life style without much problems. Now of course I'm being shitted on after all of that pretty decent life I've lived as a kid. Whatever though. I'm still a movie nut and that's all that needs to be said.
Movies are like everything to me man. Grew up admiring and cherishing the world of film. And i dares say it could potentialLy be my future if I ever get into real film making. yunNo. Love cool goOd fucking movies man, I really do.
This movie however I personally have to say does NOT look cool or good in any way at all.
Arnold looks ridiculous trying to play terminator with all his fucking wrinkles. Mind you, Cameron actually conceptualize the terminator as being older and slimMer so now the terminator actually resembles Cameron's initial concept for the character before he decided to hire arnold for the part.
Quite a I guess coincidence that now Arnold fits the terminator mold that Cameron initially envisioned. The thing about the original Terminator design was that he was supposed to blend in with the resistance. And how the fuck does a giant body builder suddenly easily blend in with regular troOps in the resistance. Chaulk it up to simply the machines having no concept of weakness and wanting to build the "perfect" form of the human body. It's very corporate in the end. It just doesn't logically understand why the human body would be imperfect and weak and old, so it creates this complete false version of a human which would never really pass for a resistance soldier and more pointedly it creates tons of the same type so the resistance wilL easily identify the terminators. Needless to say this whole design and product completely fails. But they pump them out like a car company makes millions of defective cars anyway. In fact the arnold design is defective in that it's the only terminator design to actually be able to develope emotional attatchmen to human beings and that's what makes him unique throughout the series. Is that he's the only terminator to be able to grow a soul and think for himself which skynet eventualLy fixed in later terminators.
But I'm kinda lost right now as to what the fuck they're doing making new Terminator with Arnold playing any role in it. They just can't seEm to want to make Termaintor without arnold these days.
Even that fucking shitTy salvation movie had arnold in it because it's never going be terminator without him, not now not ever. Even though honestly when you think about it, it SHOULD be able to survive without arnold. He's never playing the same terminator in any of these movies. So why do they really need to have the same actor playing him. It's not the same guy. The termantor from t1 is not the same one we were watching in T2 and defintielsy the t3. So now again we'll basically be seeing a new Termainator arnold is playing and he'll have to play him totally different than the other ones since none of thes shit those ones went through is going to matter.
this should be a trip though. To see arnold back as the terminator. And it's a reboOt apparently. Which makes it even more hard to make sense of. So this has NOTHING to do with the original terminator yet they needed to bring back arnold for it. Shit. What fuck is this movie. Im all for figiruinog what the fuck kind of movie they're making right now... really. This is it right here. I've got nothing else to dedicate my life to but trying to make sense of why the blue hell arnold is playing old terminator in a reboot of the terminator franchise. I just got to understand this shit.
