It's all very dark and depressing, and I've never really cared for the Terminator franchise anyway. Oh well. It's a load better than Phantom Menace, there's no freaking Jar Jar Binks.

I suppose it's just as well. I made them sit through Chicago last night.

Well, I only really see Terminators 3&4 as being dark and depressing. Because 1&2 have this overall message of "Well, the future is going to be shit, but we can change that! It's not too late!" Whereas 3&4 are like "...it is too late. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING, LIFE SUCKS."

Which is why franchises can change characters and writers and setting, etc., but they really shouldn't change their raison d'etre. Because that's just weird.

I like the Chicago movie. Mostly I hate Renee Zellwegger, and I still hate her in that movie, but I like the movie in spite of her.

I've seen Terminator 1, and that was cool. And then there was 2, which I've only seen the last ten minutes of, so I can't fairly judge that. T3, I spent most of the time laughing because really? And T4... Ugh. I think half the problem was that I couldn't tell the two main characters apart. *g*

Ugh. At least when Arnold was in them, you could have fun mimicking his lines.

I absolutely love the movie Chicago. I mean, the musical is okay (there isn't a character in it that doesn't annoy me), but the way that the director adapted it to film is simply amazing. I can't wait to see what he does with Nine.

BTW, is that an Anton I spy in your icon?

Terminator 2 is widely regarded as the best Terminator movie, so I would recommend watching it, except, you know, it's you I'm talking to. *g* I had lunch with an old high school friend of mine the other day who reminds me of you in that she's never seen movies I talk about, even a lot of things I tend to think of as "ZOMG CLASSICS EVERYONE HAS SEEN THESE."

Sam Worthington and Christian Bale do look an awful lot alike, don't they? And here's another example of awful advertising, though in a different way than the District 9 problem: the T4 ads COMPLETELY give it away that Sam is a terminator, but then in the movie they act like it's supposed to be A BIG SURPRISE!!!!one! So, ah, no idea what the hell they were thinking of there.

HEY THERE. NO DISSING MY GOVERNATOR.

Chicago is amazing - I've never seen the musical in any other medium, so I don't know how it compares, but I love the movie.

YES that is one of my Anton icons. Here's another! *has five*

Yeah... T2 is probably not going to happen of my own will. It's not that I don't appreciate good movies--I do--it's just that I'm not motivated to watch them. I feel like I keep telling you this. It's because I feel guilty, I think. Maybe I should be proud of my aversion to movies!

OMG THEY DO. I hadn't seen the adverts for T4, but I figured that he was part terminator when he was getting banged around so much without even a scratch. But whatever, the movie sucked. Bad advertising, bad movie, bad CGI... Blah. Let's just forget that I ever wasted minutes of my life watching it.

What? The governator that's bankrupting you guys? Yes, let's talk about him!

I haven't seen it actually done on stage, but the way the movie is done just... It captures the theatrical essence of it, and then makes it pretty with film. It doesn't detract from the show itself. If that makes sense.

This is definitely not the first time we've had this conversation XD and hey, there are worse things in life than not being motivated to watch movies all the time. Like being overly motivated to watch movies, at the expensive of everything else. *cough* NOT THAT WE KNOW ANYONE LIKE THAT.

Hey, I don't like the guy's politics. I just love that we have the most badass governor EVER. And that he could TOTALLY KICK THE ASSES OF EVERY OTHER GOVERNOR.

No, you definitely make sense. Chicago is just a very well done film, for sure.

This is very true--I never waste my time by procrastinating with mindless, hours-on-end-consuming...

Oh, wait. Yes, I do. I think it's also a rule that during exams/the night before a huge paper is due/right before you have to leave for class, you will encounter something so awesome, it is not to be believed, that will take up several hours of time. It's utterly pointless, but usually so addicting that you just can't stop reading/watching it, and you do it even though you have that exam/paper/class to do/get to. Really. I'm thinking of publishing it.

Psht. Bitch, please. Sarah Palin could whoop Arnie's ass across the Rockies. (And yeah, I know, she's not governor anymore, but I don't actually know any other governors...)

Merry Christmas, by the way!

[shinealightonme]

I would read such a paper, if you published it. Probably I would read it the night before an essay was due *g* In fact, if you need any subjects for your study, I volunteer. Seriously.

I don't actually know any other governor

Not even your own? See, that's another reason to love der Ah-nuld. You can't forget him! (Although I think I still remember the guv we had before him - Gray Davis? Maybe? - but that's because there was all the press. Didn't know who he was before the recall thing got started.)

Merry Christmas, love!

[bookgodess15.livejournal.com]

Yay! My first test subject! I'm sure I can find other people to volunteer--how many do you think I'll have to acquire in order for it to become a veritable internet rule, like Rule #34?

Um... I think I might know our governor's name? But I could be wrong. Which is kind of embarrassing. But you're right--if I lived in California, then at least I'd know who my governor was!

Merry (belated) Christmas to you, too!
