Watch, as the man sent back from the future to save Sarah Connor, is crying like a little girl, because of the title for the new Terminator film.
Fucktards. Asshats. These are the most gentle words that come to mind, when I read the likes of:
Now for the big news: we’ve finally gotten a title — drum roll please — Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. Not bad, and it definitely gives me the impression that WB is in this for the long haul. #
First off, it’s not that I want to kill the messenger and throw her limp body in a vulcano, but Jessica Barnes, writer for Cinematical, skip the fucking drumroll and sound the funeral horn. This isn’t ‘big news’, and it isn’t ‘not bad’; it’s catastrophic, on a biblical level. So, sorry, you’re a bit off track there. But, you’re right about one thing, it sure as shit gives off the impression that WB is in this things for the long haul.
As in, the long motherfucking haul. The one where the future isn’t ruled by robots, but by execs gangraping franchises over and over and over.
‘Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins’? Are you fucking serious? ‘Terminator Whatever: Bland Unnecessary Subtitle’ would’ve been better. ‘Terminator Franchiserape: The Termination of a Franchise’ would’ve been more accurate.
Did anyone see T3, let alone the Terminator TV series? That is the level of commitment this once great franchise is getting, because these monkey-grubbing suits don’t have one iota of taste or common sense in their ‘soon to be pulverized and run over by a HK’-bones.
If James Cameron was alive he’d tell you to get some gloves and call him when you’re ready.
Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.
Retards.
oh please that is just a nasty name, I mean REAL nasty. wish I could comment further but I’m feeling quite nauseous.
Dear fucking god. Who let the movie execs near a web 2.0 name generator? It’s a movie title mash-up.
T3 was a sign that WB has no. fucking. clue. None. This is right up there with nasal hair and rectal warts.
Totally agree, that title is mega-stupid
I vote to do not recognize this crap as a Terminator sequel
Also T3
WB sux
:(
Speaking of which, have you guys heard of the wonder that is the CW’s fall show – “the Sarah Connor Chronicles”? It takes place between films 2 and 3, with Sarah teaching John, running around, etc. Of course, Skynet sends Terminator(s) back, and a good terminator is sent back to help – played by Summer Glau (River Tam, and possibly the only good thing about the show). I can only imagine this as Dawson’s Creek meets the Terminator, however.
Ugh.
But props for ‘Terminator Franchiserape: The Termination of a Franchise’ I lol’d at work when I read that. :P
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
About covers it.
i vote for ‘Terminator Franchiserape: The Termination of a Franchise’ too.
There was a Terminator TV series??? Gag.
It hasn’t come out yet.
They did the same with Alien. Even changing the entire way that the alien spawned itself. Queen my ass. Ridley Scott did an excellent job of that then Mr James Cameron came along and pood on it.
But Terminator. I mean, meh? I hated the third one anyway, how cheese can you get?
Has the world been taking crazy pills? Does no-one have any more original ideas? Are all new films either going to be crap box-office rubbish mixed in with 2nd’s 3rd’s and 4th’s?
Oh and god I wish they’d stop taking all my childhood comic favorites and making rubbish so called movies out of them.
Gah!
I came in here to sound the chorus, but then…
Huh? Are you kidding man? Aliens is possibly the best sequel ever made. And how did they change the spawn method? You never saw what laid the eggs in Alien.
Anyways… The last Terminator movie I know of is Terminator 2: Judgement Day. I don’t understand what you mean when you talk about Terminator 3 or 4. Have they been announced? Is Cameron making them? I haven’t heard anything. Have you?
Terminator 3 came out in 2003! Where have you been? (link) It was piss poor! And this whole post is about the Terminator 4 movie (set to be released in 2009) (link)
Aliens was a good film, but the whole idea got twisted, it could have been done so much better instead of being turned into a franchisers wet dream by using a flippin’ queen! Just think, if they’d have stuck with the original idea of the alien raping human women to plant a seed that turns them into the eggs for the face-huggers! I mean! Come on, what a cool sequel that would have made if the planet had got colonized like it did!
Anyhoo….
Hehe, I love it when people bite on this :D
As for Aliens; I’ve got some comments, but they can’t be expressed in short, and you know how I get once I get started. So please, when you read the next paragraph, please keep in mind that it’s a bit more complicated than just that:
Aliens is a great sequel for all intents and purposes. But it’s also blunt and unrefined; clearly written by a young, eager Cameron. And of the two — Alien and Aliens — it’s definitely the less mature film.
That’s the short version :)
Maybe I should do a commentary track/podcast for Aliens, talking my way through what I think is great, and what isn’t so great, as seen through the 20/20 of hindsight.
Anyway… Terminator Saliva: The Present Continues.
Terminated Really: This is it folks, move along
Agreed. Such a lousy title. Generally everything with a “clever” punchline is just plain stupid.
Also, your rants sound a bit like Maddox, so I’m not always sure whether to take them seriously or not :D
I agree. The name is just poor.
Mike, I’ll take that as a complement; and please, take my rants seriously, because they are heartfelt.
What a fucking trainwreck this thing is gonna be.
As for the title of the new Terminator 4 film, its kinda bland. It needs a futuristic title, not some idiot in a brainstorming lesson within WB. I do hope Arnie does a cameo as a T-800, withing the battle, before having his outer human-casing reduced to his exo skeleton, that would be a good ending to his vast contribution to teh franchise. As for the plot, i hope it lives up to the T2 we all love to bits.
Please WB, dont mess it up, its us the fans that you should be pleasing when making such a film, not the people behind closed doors, within WB.
