I'm team LV on this one. Like I said, I'm not a huge Terminator fan. But the first one is the best one and really the only one I ever even think about wanting to maybe watch again.

I can’t believe some of these last few posts. At all.

T2 was brilliant. A totally different film in a different way to the equally brilliant terminator much as alien and aliens in the same way.

you can’t downplay its importance either. T2 blew up the studio game and walked off without looking back.
It was a huge game changer at the time. For the other studios especially

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The original and Salvation are the only ones I'll rewatch. And Salvation is more because it looks nice

One of my favorite things in the world is Burt’s passionate hatelove for Genisys

The book was terrible (I know, you're shocked) and from what I can tell the movie barely follows it. Maybe the movie will be marginally better than the source material?

The Oscars are garbage, but I look forward to watching them every year because my family and I always have a betting pool and fill out ballots and watch live to see who wins. It’s been a long-running tradition, and it’s a Super Bowl sort of event I get excited about annually.

Guess that’s fucked now. Awesome.

How are they gonna determine this popularity reward? box office receipts? Why dont they just start nominating movies that aren't formulaic, Oscar pandering shit?

What a bunch of idiots.

Good to see they aren't addressing the real reason their ratings tank, though.

American Idol style voting where you vote as the show goes on and Ryan Seacrest hosts.
