I saw this and thought wow!

Hey folks, Harry here again... The above was posted by AICN's Behind-The-Scenes God, RoRo - as Time-Warner knocked out my internet this morning in a widespread pre-emptive strike to attempt to silence the news that Bruce Wayne was John Connor... But I want y'all to think about this for a second. McG has done more than just CHARLIE'S ANGELS - his film WE ARE MARSHALL was a very solid and tonally realistic film. Personally - I love what McG did with CHARLIE'S ANGELS - it was fun, kinetic and exactly what that version of CHARLIE'S ANGELS should be. Then there's the fact that he cast the T-1000 in WE ARE MARSHALL - which means, probably, he's a fan of T2 - or just has the coolness to just recognize that Robert Patrick is the ****. Either way - He's managed to cast Christian Bale in TERMINATOR SALVATION - and that's pretty huge.

We know Bale takes his **** seriously. And if you saw 3:10 TO YUMA... just imagine him coming out of his mountain and beginning the process of taking out SKYNET. With Bale as Connor - that means that we have a great chance that McG is pulling a chair up and will deliver. It all depends on that script... it is obvious we're dealing now with an adult, GREAT MILITARY LEADER storyline ... How he got the remnants of civilization together, trained them, armed them and began a guerilla war that eventually, we hope, brings down SKYNET.

I for one am anxious as hell to see this done right. Let's hope.

I hated Batman till I saw Bale as Bruce so he could put new life into Connor.

Another terminator no Arnold tho? then it will suck.

The flabinator would have to hit the gym and steriods hard... I don't think his aging body would be up to it. Though, it would be cool to see the pre-cyborg models with artifical skin over exoskeleton that were made to look like Arnold though...

ahhh just leave it like that, good memories of t1 and t2 no more......... no real need for a sequel.

sequels for the film are more a financial interest and approach than real love to the franchise, it just deteriorates and crappens the whole franchise.

and a remake?????, like T3 rerise of the machines unscrewed version directed by James Cameron

kidding

just my opinion, I think the terminator franchise is great but I woulnd't like to see it crappened like star wars or something.

peace

I personally never liked Bale in Batman, but I think that was a dislike of the film as a whole rather than Bale. For me, Batman was Michael Keaton in the two films he did as the Dark Knight - I didn't expect the new Batman to be a 'rewrite' sort of thing.

However, I agree that Bale is a superb actor. Watched the Prestige recently and was completely suckered into it. I like the sound of this rumour a lot.. bodes well for a worth successor to T1 and T2!

Maybe they could work Arnie in somehow that he was a human that was used by Skynet to model its droids on. Like someone who is part of the resistance who works with Connor, that is captured early on and experimented on and subsequently used as the 'mold' for the Terminator. Far fetched but I think Arnie deserves to be written into the story somehow.. he really owned the Terminator role as far as i'm concerned.

I don't really think Arnold is needed for the next terminator movie, sure he's cool and all, but the next one is probably set before the machines can mak human like terminators anyway. And they've finally moved past the repeating crap time travel stories so.

IMO they should forget T1| ever existed, T1 and T2 is the same damn movie except T2 looks better and has cool effects. T3 finally moved the story forward and finally moved us up to the Machine war. and Since T4 will be all about the machine war, I can't see how it can suck :) as long as it's got cool machines and humans shootign at each other like the T2 glimpes of the future war. it's all good.

Good news, Bale never dissapoints.

Like everyone else, T1 and especially T2 hold a special place in my heart. T3 was, eh, mostly unnecessary, but the last 5 minutes of it made the whole unnecessary romp worth it... the destruction of the human race finally ****ing began!

As for T4, I think an Arnold cameo would be more than adequate. I've been waiting since I was a kid for a film version of that old arcade gun game (where you fired uzis at the machines in the future machine war), and I'm all for a newly envisioned trilogy. Think of the possibilities: new characters, new story lines, new technologies, and of course, Terminator style action sequences. So like someone else already mentioned, in my eyes, it all depends on that script...

I feel the opposite, ever since Bale is Bruce I can't stand Batman... lol

Well it's more the storyline in that movie, he isn't that bad of an actor, but it didn't suit him.

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.

      It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • USB Port Optimization for best locations for devices

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected (all having their own power supply). I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
