[QUOTE]Remember when the 21st century seemed like an eternity away?
In the latter half of the last century, Hollywood got pretty imaginative guessing what awaited us in the near-future, with ray guns or hoverboards or some other gadget that is still, in 2014, years or decades away from even having the chance of becoming commonplace.
Some of these films, like 1989's "Back to the Future Part II" (which depicted flying cars as a popular form of transportation in the year 2015) took an optimistic approach, while others (take 1982's grim "Blade Runner") held a more dystopian view -- as was certainly the case with one of the most ground-breaking sci-fi films of that era, 1984's "The Terminator."[/QUOTE]

While I agree from you; I'm pretty sure that .gif is taken from Terminator 1.

Confirmed, it's from the first.

I wanna say you're wrong, but I don't recognize that scene. I remember that in the second movie they taught him how to speak like that, but I don't know if it was carried over somehow from the first movie. Cause chronological order in the terminator series is weird.

It's the point where you see a really bad prosthetic of Arnolds face, with his left eye cut open, revealing the exoskeleton of the Terminator(and his red eye). Where the Superintendent comes along and asks; "Hey buddy, got a dead cat in there, or what?"
It was in the first one.
To those rating me disagree, I've re-watched Terminator at least 4 times. I think I'd know.
I'll be honest with you guys, I like the first movie more than the second. The acting, the plot, the writing, pretty much everything is better except for the action.

I disagree, I thought the second was the better movie. First is still really good, though.

Agreed. Original is just so much better. It's a really good horror film with a huge human element. T2? A terminator fighting a terminator. Oh boy, I bet there's going to be some sick fi--Oh.

I'm spooning my copy of The Terminator right now. You are correct.
like i've said before, T1 and T2 are both great but for different reasons, it's hard to compare the cyberpunk horror thriller feel of the first to the action blockbuster idea of the second
and T2 does have a huge human element too, and ironically that's the Terminator itself
Comparing T1 to T2 kinda reminds me of comparing Alien to Aliens

It all makes sense now. Ninja theory used the Terminator software to make DmC.
My girlfriend is obsessed with the Terminator series. She could literally talk your ear off about it for hours on end. Trust me, she has with me before. I like T2 the best out of all of them cause of the action, the way the story comes together and starts to make a shitload of sense. T3 was... Okay. I liked the Graveyard scene. Salvation was a total wreck and should never be mentioned of again by any true Terminator fan.
[QUOTE=markedOne;46342814]Comparing T1 to T2 kinda reminds me of comparing Alien to Aliens[/QUOTE]
You're so accurate. T1 is horror and so is Alien. T2 is mainly action, as is Aliens. James Cameron and Ridley Scott should mix their genes together to create Blade Runner 2.

How would a Blade Runner 2 work? Considering how [sp]Deckard is a replicant, he wouldn't age, so how could Harrison play him?[/sp]

Exactly. It's the same way Alien and Aliens are both good in their own respective genres.

The book and the movie have pretty big differences. Blade Runner is barely a straight adaptation of DADoES.

Woah, is that the robot that's replacing GLaDOS in Portal 3?

DADoES
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the story Blade Runner was based on.

What really bothers me about T3 is the logic that after the T1000 failed to kill John Connor, they apparently thought sending in a robot who is a quite literal downgrade was a good idea.

I think more or less the reason why everyone hates it is because it renders T2's story literally useless.
Look at that smile. Friendliest. Terminator. Ever.

I decided to watch the original tonight. I don't know if I'd seen it the whole way through before, but I recalled just about every scene. The movie is so deep into the film world lexicon, it's been duplicated or spoofed in just about every format.
I don't know if I've ever seen another movie with a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes besides this.
