Terminator (2019)

[mothman]

Now contemplating a world where the knowledge of the existence of Terminator Genisys is akin to The Silence in Doctor Who - you can only remember its existence when you see it; at all other times, everything about it - an aged T-800 called Pops, the notion that Jai Courtney and Emilia Clarke can act, John Connor both looking like the reincarnated corpse of Chandler Bing AND getting assimilated by Skynet - is impossible (too awful) to recall. You may think you can, but then you'll be distracted and... what was it we were posting about, again?

Were you watching it while you wrote this?

[mothman]

Wrote what?

I can't remember.

You can't remember how the Terminator outsmarted you with it's exoskeleton ploy and mock anus. I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to remember this either.

Are you sure that was Terminator Genisys?

[mothman]

Who are you talking to, Replies? In fact, where am I?

[Replies From View]

I don't know what's going on but I feel peculiarly aroused.

[mobias]

Got old.

If in the future they're capable of making a terminator made of liquid metal that can transform itself into anything it likes then presumably they're also capable of making a terminator that doesn't need a fucking zimmer frame?

The G-800 (or Geriatrix) is an experimental model.  Skynet would achieve nothing without experimentation.

Can dogs still detect Terminators?

What about other animals like otters or rabbits?

Animals and children are "pure", so they can see Sam as Sam, they can see and hear Al, and they can detect Terminators.

[mothman]

And hear, or understand, the Doctor's name, as well.

Children forget it when they become adults, but animals die after a few years anyway so it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately not, they're all dead.

[mothman]

So it's called Terminator: Dark Fate.



Teaser trailer tomorrow apparently.

My dogs chase rabbits all the time.

[idunnosomename]

Wait - the terminator is an OAP now? How did that happen?

OAT

[St_Eddie]

I look forward to the inevitable retcon sequel when this retcon sequel fails like the retcon sequels which came before it.

You can get the word 'fart' out of Dark Fate.  A clue to the nature of Skynet's new plan to wipe out humanity perhaps?  A dark fate indeed.

[mothman]

Terminators CAN'T fart - their anuses are painted on, remember? Biggy says so, and nobody knows his way round a robotic colon like him.

Maybe this is a new model of terminator. One with a robotty.

biggy is wrong about that though.  I kept explaining it but he has this conspiracy mindset about Terminators' anuses that just makes discussing it pointless.

Believe what you want to believe but the T-800 series absolutely do have realistically sculpted anuses to make them more effective infiltration units.  They have to stroll around naked for crying out loud.

Let's not go down this path again.  Besides, the T-800 series absolutely definitely do have painted on anuses, as supported by the dialogue in the first film...

The 600 series had no anus. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They have painted on anuses... brown, puckered, everything. Very hard to spot.

[Phil_A]

Christ, that title brings to mind the terrible straight-to-video Robocop movies from the early 2000s. Wasn't one of them called "Dark Justice"?

Ha, yes it was. And the villain was called BONE MACHINE.

No, I have been through this enough times.  The T-600 series had painted on anuses, hence Kyle's line about being able to spot them easily.  The T-800 had more realistically sculpted ones, allowing them to be better infiltrators.

New trailer here - https://twitter.com/Terminator/status/1131545318275846144


Looks a hell of a lot like the same noisy incoherent shit of the last one that was more of a cheese dream than a film.

[Custard]

Looks like a shit video game

State of that Bjork cover

This'll be shit, I reckon
