Terminator Genysys thoughts

Interesting times as a huge movie fan. Never thought I'd get damn near 30 now and seeing so many of my childhood heros continue to make films and sequels to their hits but it's happening and it truly is a marvel to behold.

Rumors are stirring about Star Wars Force Awakens and about what is going on in the movie. I don't know and that's exciting. It's like being back in the prequel days. None of us back then thought we'd be seeing them forge forward with a new star wars trilogy. We need it now sadly. The prequels don't cut it, we need actual GREAT star wars films again.

A movie nobody really asked for at all is coming soon too. Terminator Genysis. I have high hopes for it but without Cameron hands on it's going to obviously be lesser work than the master himself doing it. Cameron making a terminator featuring old arnold would truly be special. As it is, this movie looks ridiculous and pornographic to me. It's just a straight up stupid exploitation of arnold being back as an actor.

However if I had it my way and I was the one making it. I'd make it very different. I'd make it a true successor to Terminator 2. It'd be about Arnold terminator becoming a human being like in bicentennial man sorta. I'm hoping they approach it that way and say since this arnold has been living with humans for 20 years, he's developed a hell of a lot more humanity to him than any other terminator can possibly have and that's why he's able to defeat super robo john connor at the end because he has so much actual practical knowledge vs just being a mindless computer.

I don't know.... Fucking looks good the movies coming out these days. Going to scoop up star wars battlefront when that comes out. I was thinking about it last night, wow, so the game won't have ANY prequel stuff in it. It's basically an OT only game and of course previews the stuff from Force Awakens. That's AWESOME. Fuck the prequels. I hope that's the thinking going on in JJ's fucking head and hell, everyone involved with the new trilogy. Fuck the prequels. They never happened, moving on...

I will miss some things, Playing as Darth Maul, sweet. The weapons in prequel era were more fun to play with. Better jet pack tech. Playing as Mace windu, hell yeah. The droids with the ball shield were sweet shit, what else... basically playing as jedi from the prequels was fun since there's more of them than in the OT. I mean the prequels are garbage, yes, but they had some decent shit in them as far as the games were concerned.

We'll see won't we, how all this turns out...
