No Fate
The Terminator has always been a compelling series for me. I'll admit that I didn't see the first film until after I'd seen Terminator 2: Judgment Day but the ideas, the concepts and drama that drive this series were extremely exciting from the moment I'd first seen the trailers for T2. Even my parents were excited by the trailers. People who to this day probably can't name a single film as their "favorite." But here they were hyped for a film about killer robots from the future and consequently I became excited as well.It's a pretty common joke around That's a Wrap! that I will like anything with killer robots in it and while that is a little broad of a generalization--I do adore stories about robots...oh and time travel too.
I had quite the love/hate affair with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles(which I'm sad to say was canceled way before its time) and it's willy-nilly timeline and age changes(not to mention the blatant canon broken in the first episode with the T-800 head going through the time portal) before I gave in and enjoyed the series for what it was, warts and all.
The Terminator franchise for me has always been sort of like a horror story. Honestly the first movie is the only one that can really even be likened to a horror film, but the basic story is somewhat endemic to horror movies: Evil thing hunts an innocent and cannot be stopped. Without all the sci-fi trappings that plot description could fit any number of horror movies. The Terminator could be a proxy for The Mummy. They share the same basic conceit Not to mention the Terminator Endoskeleton--fucking frightening.
Now, of course, the Terminator films have always been about action(T2 and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines more so than The Terminator but the idea of an unstoppable metallic horror from the future hunting someone is just a frightening proposition. One of the things that worried me about Terminator Salvation was that it was set in the future.
Yes, it's set in the time period that we've all wanted to see since the first time we viewed The Terminator and saw those tantalizing glimpses of the future war. But can Terminator stay frightening if it's about a war with hundreds of thousands of endoskeletons? Thankfully, the answer is yes--at least when it needs to be.
Everyone worried when McG was announced as the director of this film. Truth be told, I've never seen one of his films. I know that his take on Charlie's Angels was well received if not well reviewed and I knew that he was an action focused director. I tried to give the man the benefit of the doubt and I'm glad I did, because aside from a very few nitpicks Terminator Salvation is a very fun and exciting summer movie.
It is the year 2019(a good ten years before John Connor "smashed SkyNet's defense grid," won the war and sent his father back in time) and things aren't looking good for the human race. SkyNet is ramping up to something big--the T-800, and the human resistance(not yet lead by John Connor) is looking to find a way to end the war for good.
Marcus Wright(Sam Worthington) a death row inmate from 2003 wakes up in the aftermath of a Connor-led infiltration of a SkyNet facility. Though nearly fifteen years have passed since his "death." The big question is, who is Marcus and is he what he seems to be?
The big difference between the past Terminator films and this movie is that this isn't a road/chase picture. The past Terminator movies have all had the main characters running from a terminator until the inevitable showdown at the end. Salvation shirks this format and is truly a different film. Look, I'll admit it doesn't have the heart or mind of The Terminator or T2, but what it does have is a competent story with some great set-pieces that never overstay their welcome.
The main problem with this film is that McG splits the time between Marcus and Connor. We never really get to spend enough time with either of them and the film never seems to know who the main character is. Is it John Connor(Christian Bale), the most important person in the Terminator franchise or Marcus Wright, the random dude we've never heard of before and truth be told--is kind of a dick. Because we split our time between the two stories there are things that get left by the wayside such as the relationship between Kate Connor(Bryce Dallas Howard) and John. Ideally this should be the emotional core of the film but it never really goes anywhere.
In addition to this, some of the acting is shoddy at best. Christian Bale...well, he's Christian Bale. This guy could read the phone book and make it at least worth paying attention. Howard is serviceable in what is sadly a marginal role. Worthington as Marcus is downright awful. The guy can't say a line without waffling between his American and native Australian accents. Worthington's character is also a total ass making me want to follow Connor again whenever he's on the screen. Thankfully most of Marcus's screen time is shared with Anton Yelchin's Kyle Reese. Now, I had major issues with Yelchin in Star Trek but here he's an absolute joy(aside from his attempt to replicate Michael Biehn's voice) to watch.
The special effects are fairly well done, though there are a few places where they look incomplete or just lame(wait till you see Marcus hanging out at the Hollywood sign). Though the Hunter/Killer effects look nice enough, they don't have the same impact as the model work from the earlier films. Computer graphics are an incredible tool for filmmakers but they seem to have become a crutch in recent years. Model work doesn't always look convincing but combined with convincing CG it can look amazing. More directors should look to Peter Jackson's work in The Lord of the Rings for an idea of how to make models and CG work together. McG does have some excellent traditional effects peppered throughout with some of the T-600 endoskeletons and again, most of the CG looks impressive enough(the giant terminator Harvester immediately comes to mind).
Where this movie bests T3 is in the humor department. One of the only complaints I really had with T3 was the pathetic attempts at humor. Salvation(written by the same people who wrote T3) thankfully does not have this problem. There are humorous portions written into the script, but they are mostly understated and will probably only be noticed by Terminator die-hards. The requisite "I'll be back" moment is probably handled the best since the original film and doesn't come off as cheesy like it did in T3.
And finally, the terminators are still scary. The first time we meet a T-600 endoskeleton it is gripping and frightening. There are moments later that continue this tension. I am glad that McG was able to keep these moments scary while still portraying the future war with the machines.
All in all Terminator Salvation is a worthy addition to the Terminator franchise. Though not nearly as gripping as the first two films it is a compelling action movie and the first summer movie that I've genuinely loved. You can't and shouldn't compare it to the first two Terminator films. If you can do that then you will probably love this flawed but fun film.
Plus it's got killer robots IN the future. Can't go wrong there!

Well, That Was Unpleasant
Terminator:TSCC: Adam Raised A CainSeason 2, Episode 21
Josh Friedman, are you asking viewers(of which you have few) to abandon this show? They killed Derek Reese and I can only assume killed the interest of many, many viewers. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Brian Austin Green was one of the most compelling reasons to watch this show. Losing his character is a blow that this show may never recover from. Of course, since next week is likely the last episode of the series, it may never have to recover from it.
Derek's death was shocking, quick, and done at the fifteen minute mark. It's a testament to the character that his death rocked me and stuck in my mind for days after.
Aside from the death of it's best character, this episode was damned fine. One of the best hours of television I've seen recently. The interaction between John Henry and...well...between John Henry and everyone who shares a scene with Garrett Dillahunt is exceptional. Of special note is the interaction between Weaver's daughter Savannah and the presumed brother of SkyNet.
I think it's fairly obvious that Weaver is working towards keeping humanity alive for some reason. Her line to Ellison about his and Savannah's future depending on John Henry was very telling. It's a tough place to be in, we know more about John Henry than the Connors, so when Sarah speaks of razing ZeiraCorp to destroy John Henry it is very chilling.
The ending was interesting, Sarah Connor arrested(Presumably on a tip from Weaver. Another clue that she doesn't want humanity destroyed, why have Sarah arrested when she could have met with the Connor clan and killed them all easily) and John on his own would be a great twist, but I'm not sure a show called The Sarah Connor Chronicles has the kumquats to do that...
Then again, I didn't think they'd have the stones to kill Derek...
Bastards.

Terminator: Brought To You In Part By DODGE, Grab Life By The Horns!
Terminator:TSCC: To The LighthouseSeason 2, Episode 20
It's hard to believe that we're almost finished with this season. There's been some ups (fun in the future) and there have been some MAJOR downs (the somber-Sarah Quadrilligy). It's hard to keep faith that this series is going to be renewed with it's sagging ratings, but considering the amount of Dodge product placement in each episode how much does Fox really spend on this show? I can't wait to see a Dodge-branded T-800 endoskeleton.All product placement griping aside, how does this episode stand up? Hit the jump to find out!
I'll cut right to the chase, it was a pretty damn good episode, but it's mostly set up for the finale stretch. The good news? We finally see the return of Sarah's ex-beau, Charley. The bad news? Terminator does it's best 24 aping by killing him off in the end.
Charley just couldn't catch a break on this show. First Sarah and John ditch him when they time-jump eight years into the future, then when he finally finds out that the duo aren't dead, Cromartie kills his wife! It's enough to make a guy despise Sarah Connor and become a crazy isolationist fisher. Charley is living in the titular Lighthouse, surrounded by perimeter alarms and Semtex charges he's waiting for something bad to happen. Of course, that "something bad" is presumed to be more killer robots. You just know as a soon as Charley tells John and Sarah about his defenses that they are going to be used at some point in the future and sure enough it happens.
Remember Sarah being told that she would die of breast cancer? Well, the whole reason that she takes John to see Charley (while Cameron and Derek empty the weapon storage in anticipation of the move to the new safe house) is because she's found what she believes is a tumor. She's never trusted Cameron and recent revelations regarding Jesse have made her regret trusting Derek. So, Sarah leaves to get an examination and of course everything goes to pot. All three groups (four if you include John Henry) are attacked.
Sarah finds that the "tumor" is in fact not a toomah but rather a transmitter. Of course, it all makes sense now, the somber-Sarah Quadrilligy actually had some purpose, as we flashback to Ed Winston (the guy we presumed was killed by Sarah in the fall finale, but actually was torturing her), realizing that the "tumor" is actually a transceiver.
It turns out that these simultaneous attacks are orchestrated by a mystery person who knows much about the T-800s. As I mentioned, John Henry is attacked too. A breach in his code from the Internet reveals that a second AI (this one expressly created by Cyberdyne and Miles Dyson) is attempting to communicate with John Henry.
The reveal of a software based AI, which we can presume is SkyNet, is intriguing since that is part of the Terminator mythos from T3. It also begs the question, if SkyNet exists what is John Henry? The first thing I thought of was the biblical story of Cain and Abel. But which AI is which? I think it's safe to assume that this second AI is not up to good, but whether or not John Henry will be able to avoid being corrupted by his "brother" is a question that I don't have an answer for.
In the end Charley is killed protecting John. When Sarah finds Charley's body we notice that his boat and John are both missing. Did John escape on the boat? It's possible, it's also possible that John was taken along with the boat by the attackers.
It's exciting that we once again have a main villain pursuing the Connor clan. Possibly even a modern day SkyNet. Glimpses of the future that we've seen seem to indicate that some of the terminators (the T-1000 seen in last week's episode in particular) are demonstrating their own agenda. Is it possible that in the future John Henry AND SkyNet command their own robot army? If that's the case, then John Henry may end up being an ally to John Connor. I'm just spit balling at this point. There are many questions waiting to be answered and I'm just glad that the show has become interesting enough on it's own that I want to theorize about those questions. I just hope that Fox will renew the series for one more season. Please Fox! Just one more!

I Could Totally Quote That Cliche Line From Godfather 3, But I'll Refrain
Terminator:TSCC: Today is the DaySeason 2, Episode 18
Thank the Gods, the drought is over. After the terrible, terrible quadrilligy of awful mopey-Sarah episodes we're finally come back to the type of stories that made the second half of season one so much fun to behold. In many ways, last week's episode and this week's felt like part of the same episode and considering this episode ends with those three dreaded words TO BE CONTINUED, I'll hold my total judgment until next week's conclusion.Ok, so Riley is dead. This is good and bad. It's good because we will no longer have to see obnoxious teenager Riley nor obnoxious time traveler Riley. It's bad because now John is probably going to be even more angsty. Somehow everybody believes that Cameron was responsible for killing Riley. We, of course, know that she/it didn't kill Riley, but whenever someone asks Cameron if she did it she refuses to flat out deny it. Instead she plays coy. A ROBOT plays coy. Let that sink into your gourd for a moment.
I'm going to make this quick, again I will reserve my total critique until the final episode of this two-parter, I will say this. This show is always at it's best when it shows us glimpses of the future.
I know, I know, it would be a huge rip off of Lost if they did this week in and week out, but seriously this show always intrigues me most when they tie the future events (Past for some of our characters) to our present storyline. In this case we got to see Jesse say goodbye to Derek before he, presumably, goes back in time on Connor's orders. We also got to see a mission on her submarine, the U.S.S. Jimmy Carter. What's interesting here is that the captain of the sub is seemingly a T-800 named Queeg(played by Chad Coleman who, I am contractually obligated to mention, appeared on HBO's The Wire). Queeg informs Jesse and her crew that Connor has altered their mission and they are to infiltrate an oil platform and procure a package for him.
This is what made this episode great for me. I liked seeing the future sub, Queeg was interesting, but really that oil platform...oh boy. Not much happens here but we see a couple of non-skinned T-800s and a plastic skinned T-800(great call back to The Terminator with the first infiltration Terminators said to have been very fake looking) guarding the package. We don't get to see what's in the box. Thus the "To be continued."
Not quite as interesting this week, but still better than Sarah, was the Catherine Weaver story. I am still enamored with the mystery surrounding Weaver-1000 and John Henry. I really don't think that Weaver is evil. Why train the (assumed) progenitor of SkyNet moral ethics if the goal of it's creation is to wipe out the human race? We get a little bit of the ethics work here when John Henry forces Weaver and Ellison to play Hide and Seek with Weaver's daughter. Ellison is furious at John Henry for not telling him where the girl is hiding. Weaver plays along with John Henry a little too easily, probably giving away her true identity as a Terminator to Ellison. It's an interesting scene if only because Weaver seems eager, if not overjoyed to be playing the game with John Henry. Despite not wanting to play the game earlier with the girl. It seemed like she was showing true emotion, not just emulating them. Does Weaver-bot hail from a future where SkyNet has created terminators with emotions? I don't know, but I'm excited to find out.
The turn around in the show has me bristling for the next few episodes. I just hope that Fox holds onto this one for next season. I feel like it's getting it's legs back and could be a great series soon. If Terminator Salvation, hitting theaters this summer, is a big box office winner then T:TSCC could stand to get more viewers next year, as long as the Friday Night Death Zone doesn't take another victim.

Who Needs Warm Milk
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Some Must Watch While Some Must SleepSeason 2, Episode 16
I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but I watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for stories about the impending apocalypse and the take over of SkyNet. I'd like the stories in a series called TERMINATOR to involve actual terminators as opposed to silly dream-terminators. You know what, I'd just like the series to be GOOD. Which, sadly, it hasn't been in a really long time. I'm not asking for GREAT, that ship sailed long before the series started(the writers have never really been as well versed in Terminator mythology as most fanboys are, myself included). I just want the show to be about killer robots from the future and John Connor kicking ass. Is that so hard to ask for? Apparently so, because for the fourth episode in a row we've be witness the most boring stories that I've seen in a long time.Look, I know Sarah Connor's name is in the title of the show, but for crying out loud so is the word Terminator. Sarah Connor as played by Lena Heady is boring and morose. I know Heady can be a good actress and I'm not laying the blame on her solely but she can't carry this show. She shouldn't have to! Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, Richard T. Jones are all good enough actors. Hell, Brian Austin Green owns every scene he is in. Yeah, I know, I was shocked too. But, it's true, Brian Austin Green is one of the most compelling things about this program. Yet here we are with another episode that is 95% Sarah Connor and the only other characters we see are John and Cameron.
Weaver, Ellison and John Henry are fast becoming important and intriguing components of the series, yet they are completely ignored in this story. I want to see more of them. God help me, Shirley Manson is a horrible actress, but her T-1000 is such a compelling an fascinating figure. Leaving these characters out of the story is downright criminal.
There has got to be some irony in the fact that Sarah's story revolved around her having insomnia and going to a sleep clinic. I've got a sure fire way to cure that insomnia, WATCH THIS EPISODE! We flitted between Sarah trying to sleep and Sarah being held captive by Ed Winston, who we were led to believe was dead...since we saw sarah, ya know, kill him. The big question was which of these stories was bogus, and the even bigger question is: why do we care? Seriously, on one hand we have Sarah in a sleep clinic in a plot that totally rips off at least TWO Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes and on the other hand we have Sarah facing Mr. Should-Be-Dead. I mean, we wasted an hour last week attending this dude's funeral, it just felt like a slight to have him alive and well(despite being shot by Sarah in the fall finale) with absolutely no explanation.
So, to summarize: Television program about killer robots from the future - killer future robots = a sleepy Billy. I've said it before and I'll say it again here. Kiss this show goodbye, because it's not coming back for another season. Thank you, Josh Friedman. You shat all over War of the Worlds and you've done shat on Terminator. What's next? Robbing my house and killing my kitty cat? I love that cat.

Certainly Doesn't Put The Fun Back In Funeral
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Desert CantosSeason 2 Episode 15
Everyone hates funerals. Period. End of story. So when I tell you that the first forty-five minutes of this episode were set at a very boring funeral, don't be shocked when I say that I began to hate this episode. Not that I wanted to hate it. I wanted it and the series as a whole to be awesome. But without devolving into a "Terminator of the week" plot line, sadly we will have to suffer through slow episodes like this. I can accept slow episodes now and then, but last week was slow and it was supposed to tie up the loose ends of the mid-season finale. Except it didn't. The writers put the brakes on for another week and the languish in a funeral for people we don't know or care about for three-quarters of this episode.
The mid-season finale ended with the reveal of the Hunter-Killer drone being constructed at the facility that Sarah infiltrated(and which T-1000, Catherine Weaver eventually destroyed)before being shot. Thankfully, this thread is picked back up...in the last two minutes. Yes, it took three episodes but the entire Connor clan has now seen the H-K in person. So, Sarah isn't crazy. Well, at least not about THIS.
That was the only interesting portion of the funeral plot line. After Weaver destroyed the facility(which had a front as the most secure air conditioning company ever)all of the employees were considered dead. The mystery is whether that is true. Of course, Weaver sends an "investigator" to find the last employee who is not dead and we know that someone lived. John hooks up with a girl at the funeral who's father died at the facility. It doesn't take a genius to see that her dad isn't dead.
I do have some questions about why Weaver doesn't just assume a new identity and search for the last living employee herself. Why send a human when a robot could do the job better?
As it turns out, today is the anniversary of the original Catherine Weaver's husband's death. Agent Ellison(who I suspect is beginning to realize that Weaver isn't human) questions why Weaver's daughter isn't with her mourning. Weaver brings the girl to the office and begins to question her about her feelings on her father's death and why she misses him. This is a chilling scene. Why would a killer robot intent on the death of humanity keep the pretense of this life going? I can think of a number of ways that Weaver could kill the child and cover the death up. It makes me think more and more that Weaver isn't doing this to bring about the end of the human race.
The problem with TSCC is that it's audience is one accustomed to thrilling stories about killer robots. Slow paced episodes only work when there is a great and compelling mystery. Do I care about the missing employee of this company? Nope. Do I care why he's hiding the H-K drone at the end of the episode? Yes! That's interesting. So why take so long to reveal that this guy is tied to the main plot?
In the end, a show about Sarah Connor is seemingly at its best when every other character is at the forefront. In this case, Derek Reese and Catherine Weaver's B-Plots are much more intriguing and less obnoxious(to think that I would ever praise Brian Austin Green for being AWESOME boggles the mind), but they are. Summer Glau continues to be given little to do. And Cameron is a fairly boring robot right now. As it stands there are worse ways to spend an hour but if TSCC doesn't pick up the pace it won't matter.

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:The Good WoundSeason 2, Episode 14
It's fairly common knowledge around these parts that I am an unabashed Terminator fanboy. I've got elaborate theories about the existence of SkyNet and John Connor. The T-800 endoskeleton is one of the most frightening things I've seen in cinema. I love Terminator 3 unlike ninety-nine percent of the world's population(sans Jim, of course). So when I learned of a Terminator television series I was elated. Of course, I then SAW the pilot episode and learned of how poorly it handled Terminator mythology(and it's shucking of Terminator 3 altogether) and I was upset. For a long time.Eventually I got over my anger and grew to enjoy the series on a purely popcorn level. It had killer robots. I LOVE killer robots!
I'm not going to say that I am done with the series after this episode, but the same probably won't be true for quite a few of the dwindling viewers still committed to the series.
Right away I have to say that Sarah's totally insane visions of Kyle Reese were both cool and totally infuriating. On the one hand it was nice to hear some of those classic Terminator lines("Get up soldier!") coming from an actor who actually looked like Thomas Dekker and sounded close enough to Michael Biehn to make sense. But it was also aggravating that the producers trod over Terminator history so easily by recasting Kyle. I understand the Biehn is both too expensive and too old to come back to play Reese so using him was out of the question, but why even use Reese?
Part of the allure of this series is the continuation of the Terminator story, we are invested in this series because of the films that came before. If you wipe your ass all over the film's that helped birth your series then you are left with a shit stained plot. Ok, that metaphor kinda fell apart there, but you get what I'm trying to say.
I guarantee that NO ONE would be watching this show if it were entitled "Annihilator: The Sarah Smith Stories." No one. So the producers need to treat their source material with some more respect.
After the cliffhanger from the fall finale, Sarah is in the hospital with a bullet wound in her leg. We spend the entire episode dealing with this and it's hard not to feel slightly cheated. Sarah is a badass, we know she's dealt with worse injuries, but THIS leg wound takes her down? I guess so. So we spend an entire episode with Sarah getting a doctor to help her while she is seemingly going bonkers talking with Kyle Reese in her head. At least the ham-handed biblical references that Josh Friedman so very much likes to jam down our throats.
Meanwhile, in the very small C-Plot, John Connor(the future savior of mankind, and the only character that really actually matters) hangs out at the hospital moping about after the botched suicide attempt that his future-borne mole girlfriend. Proving once again that the characters on this show do the stupidest things(on the lam and you go to the HOSPITAL?! Why not just call SkyNet up for coffee?). Literally this is all John does this week. Though Derek Reese does chastise John for being stupid, which is nice.
The B-Plot doesn't have much going on either, Ellison continues to interact with the AI construct John Henry, who is now inhabiting dead t-888 Cromartie's body. It's an interesting story with John Henry playing with Lego Bionicles and lamenting the human body's lack of ball joints. Of course, it allows those references to God to crop up again, but I can forgive it here. After Ellison leaves, John Henry confronts Weaver and gets her to admit that she is in fact a robotic construct like himself. John Henry explains that he's accessed the internet and has been scanning for information about Coltan, the metal used for endoskeleton creation. He explains that he has read the news of Sarah's shoot out at the Coltan warehouse. Though Sarah's name is not revealed in the story, Weaver seems perturbed by this information. She goes to the warehouse and kills the staff before blowing up the facility.
If John Henry is SkyNet in an infant state, and Coltan is needed for Terminator creation, why would Weaver destroy the facility? Wouldn't she want to protect the precious metal to help the eventual holocaust? And if John Henry is SkyNet, why is weaver employing Ellison to teach it morals?
These questions are intriguing, but hidden underneath the boring Sarah A-plot makes it hard to watch. If the series doesn't do something to liven up the mopey human characters I fear it will be canceled long before we get the truth about the interesting robot characters.

Now We Know How Crutchy Got Gimped Up
I think we now know the truth of how 'Newsies' Crutchy got all gimped up. Jack Kelly wasn't too happy with the number of papes he had to eat at the end of the day. Kelly showed Crutchy that he's the real king of New York.Ok, I apologize for that, but I couldn't help.
So, news around the nets is TMZ is reporting that Christian "Bruce Wayne" Bale exploded on the Director of Photography of Terminator Salvation for allegedly accidentally ruining a shot.
More plus audio below the jump.
This isn't the first time that someone has spoken of Bale's temper. In fact, back in July following the release of The Dark Knight it was reported that Bale hit his own MOTHER and was arrested. You can check the details of that incident here
You can listen directly to the audio at this NSFW link.
I know that Bale is acting like a petulant child in this audio and it may very well be taken out of context, but I couldn't help but laugh heartily at it. Bale is one of the most sought after and acclaimed actors in Hollywood today, perhaps it's gone to his head. But, who cares? I don't have to work with him personally, as long as he keeps pumping out movies like 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Prestige'(Christopher Nolan clearly doesn't have a problem with him) then I could care less about how he acts on set.
Now, if he became a scientologist...
and yes, I do feel dirty for posting a link to TMZ.
