So Old Man have you seen T2 yet ?
Sounds like you’ve only seen T1 ???

Home theaters rule!

Yeah, I took advantage of that awhile back to put my third DVD player in my family room. Really I’ve scored well with all three players. HD is making everything below it crazy cheap it seems.
When you go to home theater though, it’s hard to get out of the house!

Only the best movies are worth seeing at the theater now.

Old Man, your a lighthouse of stability my friend I would love to buy you a stout lager !!!
.
Ya know I’ve found that sometimes you can forgo the special features of high end dvd players and really score with decent low end players.
I picked up a dvd player 2 years ago during Christmas time at Best buy, its a Philips brand and its great !!!
Cost me 52 bucks.

Yeah have to plead ignorant on DVD extra footage. I have 3 dvd players, ones a SONY multi-platter and another HD DVD Home theater system w/Aquos HD. I have three vcr’s a good old Fisher which doesn’t work very well, a JVC super hi-res, and a Proscan. Been collecting titles for awhile but don’t like to have the same title for the sake of a different media. Rather save the cash and buy something I haven’t seen before.

OldMan,,,,
I should say that the scene I mentioned was a deleated scene that can only be seen on the T2 Extreme dvd.
It shows the T-1000, walking thru the Foster parents house after he’s killed everyone. He goes into Johns room and finds the tapes.

No OldMan, its not Maudlin,
If you upgrade your T2 copy to the dvd Extreme copy, you will find out that the T-1000, found the tapes in Johns bedroom when he killed the Foster Parents.
Remember when John said to the Terminator, he wanted to go home and get some stuff?

the old man — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 08:29:36 +0000

Yeah, I own it on VHS. The audience never hears anything she recorded in the intervening years to his preteens. It would be neat if he went over some insights she had on the tapes in the movie. I know it’s maudlin.. Just a thought.

Oh yeah, I never got back to you on that beer, hopefully at a con sometime..

Old Man, have you seen T2 yet ????

I happened to have thought “Not Another Teen Movie” was pretty funny. Better than the last 2 Scary Movie films and MUCH better than the God-awful straight-to-DVD American Pie films. Randy Quaid was GREAT as the alcoholic father. It’s crude for sure, but that is part of what makes it funny!

Saw the first movie this past week. I wonder if they will show John Connor now playing those tapes his mother, “Linda Hamilton” made.

My only opinion on Terminator so far is that I’ve had the trailer music stuck in my head since TDK. It’s not really “music,” I guess, just rhythmic static inbetween cuts. CH-CH-CH-CH CHHHH CH-CH-CHCH.

It’s fun to mimic. Try it sometime.

By: 790

790 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:31:05 +0000

Future Chains. Lol

I hope the resistance uses Connor’s knowledge of cutting into the head access point and removing the CPU.

Keith — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:51:11 +0000

Future chains might.

By: 790

790 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:46:56 +0000

Would chains really hold down a T-800,,,,,,, I don’t think so.

Rob,
Worthington is who I was thinking of, thanks for catching that.
