it’s all of the cameras snitching on you now
He played it off too. Then he tried to stall T-1000 when he eventually spotted John by saying “hey I think I saw that kid you were looking for.” That’s a homie right there
I just rewatched this a couple months ago. Now I want to watch it again. T2 is one of the all-time greats of cinema history. Arny is awesome in the role, the story is excellent, the directing is perfect. Edward will forever be John Connor with every other actor doing their best to fit his character, because that’s John.
Also Robert Patrick did so well in the role for the T-1000. He nailed like uncanny valley of the machine being so close to human and then completely inhuman at a moments notice, and his practice on sprinting and firing a weapon without blinking, and only breathing through his nose is something that you don’t notice because it’s what you’d expect a machine to do, and then only looking back do you realize that yeah, he’s sprinting full speed at a car with his mouth closed without blinking.
Yes! Both terminators were so weirdly inhuman without being inhuman. And it was the 1980s and they just kind of nailed that with total realism that had no reason for being as good as it was.
It was like a new chapter of sci-fi really leaning into the realistic expectations of the future instead of the fantastical versions. It’s the same reason why Bladerunner was so good and stood the test of time. No bullshit interpretation. Just, “Everyone calm down about your ideas of the future. What would actually happen? How would this thing actually be if it really happened?”
I love the story that Arnold got the part as the terminator when he sat down with the director and nerded out so hard about details about what the terminator would not do that a common human would do, so much that the director couldn’t think of a better person for the role, despite Arny traditionally doing hero roles.
I like T1 more and don’t even see a reason to make T2. The 1st movie had nice enough ending.
I love T1, more than T2 even, but let’s not kid ourselves. T2 is legitimately better on nearly every front
T2 is legitimately better on nearly every front
I don’t see that. T2 is slower, the plot is the same just with additional bells and whistles. It was just “May I have the same dish again?”. It isn’t bad per se, just… unnecessary.
Guys guys guys … Lets settle this, Terminator 18 is the best movie
You are right. T1 would’ve been what T2 was if it had T2’s budget and backing. T1 was so good that is started the hype train and we got T2 for it.
They’re both excellent, but T2 got the attention the idea deserved from the beginning and they made the most of it.
Good thing the hype stopped there and they never made another movie since 😆
Insane take
Yeah I don’t see a reason to make T2 either. I mean there’s already T1. If they hasn’t made T2 then T1 could’ve just been T.
It’s gotta be an absolute mind fuck for John when he eventually meets his best friend in the future and realizes he has to send his buddy back in time to fuck his mom so he can be conceived.
I know this was a popular myth I liked to discuss when I was 15, but in one of the later movies John selects someone else to fuck his mum instead.
Folks don’t like folks who talk about other terminator movies 'round these parts.
NEVER talk to the cops.
If you have a problem and call the cops, now you have two problems.
Polyalloy humanoid from the future can’t read elevated heart rate, surface moisture and dilated pupils. Lol
Unlike deceiving your fellow man, lying to cops grants a sense of peace and rightness. Trying to tell them the truth is what makes people nervous, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law after all
Thats why lying to the cops is one of Buddha’s four tasks to enlightenment.
It ain’t that kid’s first time lying to the cops. He’s done it enough to be confident this will be fine. I mean, even if he gets caught, what are they going to do?
Yeah, Bobby Budnick knows how to tell a convincing lie. He learned it at summer camp.
That’s why I never leave the house without a thumbtack in my shoe. Never know when you’re gonna need to lie to a terminator.
Skynet forgot to push that OTA update before sending the robot
