Saw judgement day in 4k 3D last night and it was 🔥being a huge fan of the franchise and this one being my favorite film, seeing it digitally remastered made you appreciate it so much more. You got to see the subtle little details you might have missed over the years - and seeing it all play out in 3D was sick

I thought I would write a human to human prompt. If you haven't seen the Sarah Connor Chronicles I recommend that you do so. You won't be dissapointed. I got both seasons on bluray but I think there might be other websites you can view it.

Discussion Terminator 2

21 Upvotes

Just saw T2 in 3d at my local theatre. I love T2 it is my favorite movie I have seen it more than any other movie. Literally over a hundred times, probably much more. My brother and I had a vhs copy growing up and we watched it constantly.

I had never seen the movie in theatres and saw there was a 3d showing. I was surprised at how good the 3d was. Most of the time 3d is trash but the movie was incredible and they really made good use of the 3d. It wasn’t used in an annoying way it added depth to the shots which I found really interesting. I highly recommend the 3d format.

There is no substitute for the love and companionship of a dog. Terminators are sad and jealous and just need to be loved and understood, but Wolfie just keeps yelling at them.

Discussion Could Hungarian historical events and the roots of Andrew G. Vajna be the reason why Judgment Day in Terminator was set specifically on August 29?

Post image
4 Upvotes

According to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the nuclear war launched by Skynet - Judgment Day - was supposed to take place on August 29, 1997.

What I find particularly interesting is that August 29 is also one of the darkest recurring dates in Hungarian history.

For example:

  • August 29, 1521 – The fall of Belgrade (Nándorfehérvár).
  • August 29, 1526 – The Battle of Mohács, one of the greatest military catastrophes in the history of the Kingdom of Hungary.
  • August 29, 1532 – The fall of Kőszeg Castle, supposedly at exactly 11 a.m. (which is why, to this day, the bells of Kőszeg are traditionally rung at 11 a.m.).
  • August 29, 1541 – Buda falls into Ottoman hands, an event that effectively sealed Hungary's division into three parts.
  • August 29, 1949 – The Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear weapons test, RDS-1, near Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan.

And this is where the thought experiment begins.

In the Terminator universe, as far as I know, the first film does not explicitly mention the exact date on which Judgment Day would occur. The date of August 29 only becomes clearly established in Terminator 2.

Terminator 2, of course, was produced under Carolco Pictures, where Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar were key figures.

So what do you think: could Andrew G. Vajna's Hungarian background (he borned in 1944 in Budapest and lived in Hungary until the revolution of 1956) have had something to do with August 29 being chosen as the date of Judgment Day - perhaps subconsciously, or maybe even as a subtle inside joke?

Or is this simply an incredibly interesting coincidence?

Especially considering that August 29 really does appear repeatedly throughout Hungarian history as something of a historical "black day."

Does anyone happen to know if there is any background information about how or why that particular date was chosen?

(This post is not intended as a joke. I'm genuinely interested in historical coincidences and possible connections that may exist behind seemingly random dates.)

Dunno if anyone knows this. But James Cameron apparently wanted to cast Michael Biehn as Peter Parker/Spiderman(with other potential choices being Leonardo Dicaprio and Edward Furlong), but also as Sandman in an alternate casting for his cancelled Spiderman film.

So how do you all feel about it? I personally think Biehn would be too old by the 90s to play Peter Parker.

Even though i think he is a good actor and potentially could do an edgier, more adult(this Spidey curses at one point), potentially angrier(understandable emotion from Peter Parker when he has lost his uncle and has the media slandering his name). But visually, he would stand out from the other cast even if they get 30 year olds to play high schoolers.

What type of Terminator do you think we'll see in the next movie? One that embraces the whole mass control.

I think it will be a chip implanted in people, a la Genisys, that everyone wanted to handle their internet needs like the promise of NeuraLink but done competently. And then, Skynet/Legion insta take over except for a bunch of social outcast renegades, who now have to fight an intelligent horde enemy. Aided, probbly by some T-888 mock off (not Arnie) or some other variant of reprogrammed Terminator.

What are your ideas?

Discussion A small perspective on young Sarah

Post image
34 Upvotes

As a young woman myself I think Sarah's transformation is awesome and absolutely badass, but I wanted to note something about her change that I think gets overlooked.

As women, we are socialized to give deference, to not raise a fuss, and so on. Yes, "take no shit," but also, just roll with stuff and don't rock the boat – in short, don't be bossy. And because of that, being a leader can sometimes be hard for some of us. I imagine it was for Sarah especially; she denied it at first and put herself down ("I can't even balance my checkbook"). But by the time the end begins to come around, she's the one fussing at Reese to get moving and back up on his feet. Obviously, it's because her life is on the line, but...

...this may just be me, here, but I know it to be true for some other women: asking for help can be awkward, because it feels like an inconvenience to the person you're asking or like you're burdening them, even if they're happy to do so. It makes her telling him to get back up even greater though. Indirectly it's not just saying help me but also my life matters and you need to keep me safe.

Maybe I value myself too cheaply, but, for example, I would feel extraordinarily guilty if my husband had to put his life on the line for mine. I'd never ask that of him. And maybe it's not a female thing as I framed it. But it stands out to me as a young woman myself. Like, her taking a stand and saying yeah, I matter, and you need to get up and protect me is really awesome and not something I think some women would feel comfortable to do.

Curious of your thoughts, especially if other women are around.
