If the Simpsons ever does a terminator episode he would be great in it.

Damn, dude. Doesn’t jaundice give you yellow skin? Rough if that’s what’s causing him to look that way.

u/AWorldwithoutSin 6h ago
Jaundice means yellow skin, its usually the result of liver dysfunction, often due to cirrhosis or hepatitis. Given his past drug problems there's concern.

could also be the lighting, the whites of his eyes don't look super yellow and you usually see it there if the skin is starting to show.

He looks like me. Just a normal dude at 50 with no filler, surgery or insane workout regime. I would watch this movie

I don't see how you can look like that with any sort of regular workout or the slightest consumption restraints.

Cast this man as Harry Du Bois in the Disco Elysium movie and get him his oscar.

At this point, the Terminator franchise has nothing to lose, so it might as well go for it.

He really should have starred in T3. He was perfect for the role of forgotten, burnt out former-hero. Recasting was a one of their first big mistakes with the franchise IMO

u/ArthurMorgansveinypp 2h ago
He was cast in T3 but it was conditional on him getting off drugs and staying clean for the whole production. So naturally he went out to celebrate his big comeback by getting wasted on coke and got immediately fired

Just rewatched T2. Really great performance from Edward. Charisma for days. What a shame.
However the movies did John Connor dirty after T2. Wuss in T3. Still kinda wussy in T4 and not very charismatic either. How do you get Christian Bale and mess that up? Bad guy in T5. Dead in T6.
Seriously, where is this guy?

I want a future war movie where John Connor has this aura.

Booze problems, domestic violence issues, temperamental. The trifecta for a good Hollywood career….

I think you're forgetting about the part when a 29 year old Jacqueline Domac started grooming a 15 year old Eddy for years and leeching off of him. Rape can really fuck up a person's future, statutory or otherwise.

Kevin Sorbo will defend cinema from the Hollywood pedophiles by deporting 20 million illegals and supporting the administration that won’t do anything about the Epstein files.

A Terminator movie where John is basically the Whale and then a new terminator shows up to try to kill him could go hard

I used to think Ed Furlong looked kind of like Norman Reedus, he still does it seem, just, a very out of shape Norman.

Is that Edward Furlong star of the beloved film Jimmy and Judy (2006)?
1
u/Tolkien-Minority 4h ago
There is a scene in the celebrated classic Jimmy and Judy (2006), winner of the prestigious MySpace.com Best Feature award at the Newport Beach Film Festival, where Edward Furlong attends family dinner in the nude and his parents say “oh no Edward Furlong we can see your little John Thomas!” And Edward Furlong is all like “lmao” and then he points the camera into a mirror so that we the audience can see that Edward Furlong is walking around as naked as the day he was born. If you have attended film school I won’t need to tell you about it because you likely will have studied this scene.

I mean, honestly? Why not, the last “acceptable” terminator movie was Salvation and I highly doubt Arnie will come back for a new terminator project, and John Connor as a character just hasn’t been used well since,again, Salvation and even that one is kinda pushing it, so why the fuck not, at the very least it would be nice to see a John Connor actor reprising their role for once

u/UmbraQuincy 6h ago
They had no balls to go thru with Salvations original ending. What we got was corporate intervention.

He's grasping at straws to make money. Maybe if John Connor has a kid, and the terminator comes to kill his kid he could be in it. Aside from that, just to see he had a normal life outside of losing his acting career, no one would believe this guy could save the world.
He'd be better placed at trump ordering 6 big macs, sorry.
At least he had fun getting to where he is today. As a teen wasn't he with his onset teacher?

He needs to exercise and work out otherwise he will just be a fat extra who gets killed in the 1st minute.

We should make a sequel to American History X too and he can reprise his role. Danny came back somehow.

From the looks of it he’s pushing harder to be Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings reboot.

While I understand that time is fucked in general in terminator and that multiverse is the only way for it to make sense, hasn’t John Connor died like everytime he’s made an appearance by now?

In Terminator 3 John Connor is supposed to be a hobo loser. That would actually make him a fitting cast choice if they also do it for the next movie.

My mans gotta get back in shape if he wants to hold that title. Honestly, his chance was in terminator 3. That was it… and he missed the train
