Shock horror news from Coming Soon that Terminator 4 will be held in the future and that none of the cast of T3 is coming back, give me a second will you?
YAHOOOOOOO!
Sorry, just had to get that out. I thought it was pants with a capital bum. The female Terminator was awful with her stilted movements and difficulty walking, and the talking to camera just invalidated her killing machine image. Oh dear. Then there was the opening scene which set the whole tone of the movie “Hey all Terminator fans, this is not a Terminator film, it’s a joke of a Terminator film”, and Arnie walks out with pink silly shades on. ‘Fraid not, the character should have been introduced strong, not with a joke!
Anyway, it was a shame because the story was a really good one, especially the payoff at the end. It was just treated as a series of action scenes with incredibly contrived links between scenes, very jokingly filmed – just remember the General ordering SkyNet on, didn’t that seem like an Airplane sketch with Lloyd Bridges in charge? – and with no understanding of what makes the Terminator and what makes decent dialogue.
Okay, breath. Anyway, I think it’s great news. However, reporting what we all knew straight from the big man’s mouth, is echoed by Stahl – Arnie isn’t included.
BOOOOOO!
As I’ve said before, and John, he’s older and lost loads of mass and just isn’t suited to play his original role, Around the World in 80 days really started to show that. Unless he got back to that gym and went for it big style. Mind you, the way his political career is heading at the moment perhaps he’ll do just that! Perhaps we’ll see a new bodybuilder enter the role?
