Because of Belle's recent aggression (ICC is looking for you Belle) threatening to strike with a RotM thread I had no choice but to strike first.





Trailer is here.

    They should call this T3: The Return of Claire Danes!



    I've missed her while she was at Yale, and Igby Goes Down didn't come around here.





    I can't believe a movie that made as much money as T2 took this long to be trillogized.



    T2 holds up pretty well against todays CGI, I can't wait to see this one.

    It looks terrible...and Arnold's accent is ridiculously thick.



    ...but...hot chick terminator...and Claire Danes as John Connor's love interest.



    Two reasons to see it.

    I think it actually looks pretty good for an action movie. It's coming out this summer, I think. The Matrx Reloaded comes out May 15. Should be a fun summer/late spring of big budget blockbusters.

    Ok let's see. The T-X Terminator for being so good look eerily like the old Ahnuld Terminator with the stiff walking and mannerisms.



    You know I have to see it but my bar will be set pretty low for this one.



    I'm not really a fan of most Woman combatants unless your talking CTHD or C.A Moss' brief arse kickin' scenes.



    I'm looking forward to the effects though.

    It looks like it sucks. I'm usually optimistic about movies and I liked the previous two movies. TheMatrixReloaded and TheMatrixRevolutions will kick its ass.

    Off topic but - is there really a Rocky VI in the making?? What can it possibly be about?

    Terminator 2 was the best. Linda hamilton rocked the house in that one. I don't think they can do better than 2, but we shall see...

    The trailer looks pretty sweet. I'm confused about the timeline though. Is this pre-nuclear strike or post? Or a little of both?

    Agreed. This is going to be crap in its puriest form. No Linda Hamiliton, No Eddie Furlong and No James Cameron attached.

    A friend of mine's father worked on T:3(lead sound design) He says that T:3 is going to be more of a farce than a SERIOUS action movie.



    i.e

    When arnold is warped back into the past he is naked, he arrives at a gay strip club and says to a stripper(whering a thong) "give me your clothes" and the stripper says "eh...talk to the hand"



    then later in the film Arnold goes to a convenience store, takes a bunch of crap and starts to leave. the store owner says "hey aren't you going to pay for that" and arnold looks at him and then holds out his hand and says "talk to the hand"(if I remember correctly, he might just hold out his hand)



    so thats what we're in for.

    Pthththththth.



    I feel more aggression coming... here it is...



    Am I the only person on this planet that thought Terminator 2 was a dreadful movie? I hated it. The first was okay, in that it was a decent attempt at sci-fi on a miniscule budget. But Terminator 2 was just awful. A "nice" Arnie Terminator?! An annoying kid?! Linda "I'm just a small surgical procedure away from becoming a man, and was only in these movies because I married the director" Hamilton?! It was barely better than Last Action Hero.



    Gah.



    Like the thread title, though. Sounds like something I'd come up with.

    I heard there's going to be a "Rocky VI" too, but isn't Sly a little &lt;ahem&gt; old to be playing Rocky? I also read that Harrison Ford is going to do another Indiana Jones movie. I guess it'll be "Indiana Jones in the Temple of Depends"

    As if Sean Connery sucked in his role. He'll be back too, you old people hater.

    c'mon, I saw "What Lies Beneath"; Harry's getting on in years.



    He'll be 63 by the time the movie starts filming- 3 years older than Connery was in "Last Crusade"



    I don't hate everybody

    Han Solo was in his 40's when he did Return of the Jedi?



    Wow. Oh I liked What Lies Beneath.

    So did I. I thought it got needlessly slammed as a Hitchcock ripoff. And it was one of the few really CGI- heavy movies that didn't look obviously CGI.



    There seems to be a point in every actors career, a single movie in which they turn the corner and start to look old. Sean Connery's was "Outland". Roger Moore's was "View to a Kill" For me, this was the one for Harrison Ford.

    ok, so not /exactly/ related to topic. but how does one save a movie that "does not allow saving"?

    i foudn the direct link to the full screen movie and downloaded it by tricking the IE dl manager, and then i opened it up and deleted the flash fluff (god i hate flash, makes me wonder why im going into multimedia) and then QT refused to save it:/ is ther ANY way around this? it seems all movies do this lately and it pisses me off. i like my collection of trailers and want it to grow

    That never really came to mind when I watched the movie. What was interesting for me was the bad guy role Harrison Ford played because he has played predominantly good guy roles throughout his career. Hell, even when his character supposedly did something bad, he was framed. Now that was a good movie. Sela Ward's character, dead. Still breaks my heart just thinking of it.
