    Movie: Terminator Salvation

    New Terminator movie about the human resistance led by John Connor (played by Christian Bale).

    http://io9.com/5093558/new-terminato...t-of-his-depth

    I think this movie will be chaotic and pointless like the Matrix:Revolution, but anything with Bale is usually cool and worth seeing, plus it's a "reinventing" of the character's origins so it's kind of like Batman Begins.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    "Reinventing" is a strong word. The only thing it's doing is (rightfully) changing John Connor from the pussy he was in T3 into the war hero he was made out to be in the first movie. It's the logical and natural progression of the story.

    I love the idea Christian Bale as adult-John Connor. If I try hard enough I can almost see young Edward Furlong morphing into him.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Shrug, these were the article writer's words, not mine. I agree with you though, it's not reinventing, just furthering the story.

    I'm not so sure about Bryce Dallas Howard (the blind girl from The Village) as Kate Connor. I didn't really like Claire Danes in T3, but I think they could have found someone who would fit better with Bale than Howard.

    Any of you found that 5 minute preview they're talking about in those reviews? I bet it should've been leaked somewhere.

    Anyways, here's a cool flash poster:

    completely agreed.

    I watched the second trailer yesterday and I was just thinking that it has a good chance of sucking. I'm still going to pay to see it regardless, and hope for the best.

    Here's an audio clip of Bale pissed off at his director of photography. It's quite awesome, not work safe:

    Wow that's brutal. Bale really goes off on the guy. I guess that's an artist's high-strung mentality.

    He really went overboard, but I can understand it... especially with actors that really get into their roles, for someone to ruin their take because of stupidity. But it was awesome regardless. It was a pressure situation for Bale, so don't get in his way.

    "DO I WALK AROUND TEARING YOUR LIGHTS DOWN !?( all seemingly done in bruce wayne/batman accent... unless thats the way bale normally talks )

    They've shown that 3-4 times now on TMZ. It reminded me of entourage for some reason

    He's from the UK, and he was alternating between his American accent and his Brittish one.

    I've read he likes to keep "in accent" depending on the role, so if he's doing an American part, he'll speak without his English accent when doing interviews or speaking publicly. He seems like a very intense person, very dedicated to his craft. So I can understand why he went nuts when some guy messes up his scene by being careless.

    I always figured he was Australian. Turns out he's a Brit from Wales, but not Welsh.

    Yeah the guy messed up his scene but it was still a mistake, sure it could have been avoided if he paid attention where he was going but still he didnt do it on purpose and quite frankly the lightguy didnt deserve a 4 minute "Wrath of Bale" thrown on him :P

    Yeah that was actually pretty cool, a written article can only do so much to convey the emotion behind the words.

    I still love the part of his rant when he's like "do I walk around ripping your lights down?!!? " it just makes me laugh. being the #1 action hero could put you under alot of pressure.

    I was wondering what kind of effect the movie is going to have on the sarah conner chronicles?

    Do you think the movie will make that series completely irrelevant? or should it keep going on the basis that there could be an infinite number of futures/universes?

    Don't overthink it... think of it as two different stories, but if you want it to make some sort of rationalizations to make you feel better, sure think of it was one of those various futures/universes. With all the time travelling going on, whose to say that at one point in time something like this didn't occur. But other than that, don't try to tie them up... you'll just make your head hurt.
