It looks like they might have actually had someone from the military advising them this time, instead of just reading a few Beetle Bailey comic strips. Fuck, that movie was terrible.
You mean we're not going to have New York set upon by a monitor lizard during a perpetual monsoon and defeated by Ferris Bueller? Just kill me now. Watching that trailer, Godzilla looks eight hundred feet tall. I don't know what they can do that will top Pacific Rim, especially since Kick-Ass is the main character.
Daenerys Targaryen is going to play Sarah Connor in Terminator 5. From all the descriptions Ive read, I cant tell what this is going to be? A reboot? Same story line? The terminator series (well 1 and 2) are my favorite all-time movies and Hollywood has raped it with a splintered plunger over the last 10 years with T3, T4 and the TV series (which really wasnt that bad). James Cameron is a director on another level of film making and unfortunately I dont think anything else in the series will ever measure up.
That's not bad for her considering she was THAT CLOSE to dying of a brain aneurism. Yeah, Dani almost died this year kids. Most people didn't hear about that. With how young she it has to be a remake of some sort. It's fucking dumb to make another one regardless if its thst or a sequel/prequel. Sad, really. The first two are the only good thing about the franchise. Let it go already. They do know that her co-star on GoT was ALSO Sarah Connor, right?
The only way they could spin it into the original series is to fuck with the timelines the way star trek did. ~Nerd Alert~ The whole theory around the timelines is that each time something is altered (another terminator is sent through time, John Connor changes something in the future, etc.) it splits off another possible timeline, so in theory there could be infinite ones with varying differences. They tried to explain this theory with the first two, then shit on it with the third, then backtracked on the fourth. (Basically it would follow the same time travel rules as Back to the Future). Something could be altered where a terminator gets sent back before the events of the 1st film to an even younger Sarah Connor, which would retconn the rest of the series and create a new set of characters entirely but explain it as a separate timeline like they did in the new Star Trek movies. *Bows* Now Im off to go trim up my neckbeard and dust off my fedora. Good day sirs.
While I agree the last few Terminator movies have been shit, the TV show was awesome. Zack Stentz, the main writer from the show, is running this reboot so I have a feeling it will turn out well. I have been following the guy on Twitter for years now (back when he had like 300 followers) and the dude legitimately cares about the franchise. He is also amazingly intelligent when he picks apart what is done right and wrong in other movies. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/12/terminator-tv-series-movie-connection/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.deadline.com/2013/12/termina ... onnection/</a>
The article linked called it a reboot. I can only imagine how that will go. Well, I guess instead of looking at a phone book the Terminator will Google her up?
Yes, one of the articles about the reboot and new TV series: Agree. I never could figure out why SCC never found enough audience. I thought it was well done - plus, Summer Glau!
I won't die happy unless Andy Serkis is at least given an honourary Oscar. The thing is, he plays great human characters too (see: 24 Hour Party People).
I loved that show. If I remember, wasn't there a big gap between seasons? I think that might have contributed to it. My husband thinks it is because of the three dots storyline, which he didn't like. It got better again with the addition of the bad Terminator chick (from the band Garbage), but I guess it was too late by then. I hadn't been that bummed out by a cancellation since Alien Nation.
It got weird and abstract too quick while trying to shoe-horn in winks to stuff from the first two movies. That chick didn't need to be a T-1000, she could have been any other model. They didn't need to reference Sarah Connor's paramilitary buddy Enrique. It's the problem that Star Wars I-III faced and that VII-IX is going to face as well. They'll work in some Lando reference, or some Jabba the Hut bullshit, when they really don't need to.
X Men Days of Future Past So, I've lost track of all of them because my husband sort of lost interest and I haven't kept up as much on my own time. I've seen the first three movies with the husband. I've seen First Class on my own because I saw it was on TV and DVRed it. I haven't seen the two Wolverine movies - which is funny since I love Hugh Jackman. So I guess I need to see the Wolverine ones and probably rewatch the ones I've already seen.
X-Men and especially X2 are good movies. The Last Stand and both Wolverine movies are below par, if that.
Wolverine: Origins wasn't bad i enjoyed it. The last wolverine movie was just fucking horrible. I knew it was going to be bad be the trailers, then i went to the theater and watched it, it was way worse then i thought.
Wolverine:Origins was the shittiest movie Ive seen in the past decade. Haven't seen the latest but it sounds like it would have been better helmed by the original director Darren Aronofsky. I never thought Xmen 3 was as terrible as everyone made out, way way better than Origins. Hell I rewatched the original Xmen a while a while back and I didn't think it held up well. Lots of hokey ass lines. I think Bryan Singer is a bit overrated. I haven't seen the original prequel Xmen as of yet. Gambit in there anywhere? His dismal appearance in Origins was not enough for me.
I never liked Gambit even when I read comics. At all, I never saw his appeal just because he wore a trench coat and had a Kendo stick. Plus, you might want to think twice about casting Taylor Kitsch in another movie role. Worst. Box Office Star. Ever. And I will echo Bryan Singer is overrated. He directed The Usual Suspects but the script is what made it a good movie. He's a face-in-the-crowd director like D.J. Caruso, Brett Ratner, F. Gar Gray, etc. you can't tell any of those director's styles apart because they are pure, generic Hollywood.
