I'd rather have it rated r too but I wouldn't be upset with a PG-13 rating. Besides the dvd err b-ray release ;) will most definitely be unrated which. Wouldn't be the first time studios forced them to cut a lot to make it more "appealing" to audiences. Suppose its better than kids buying tickets to other movies and sneaking in.

Btw, anyone catch that extended preview last night. Something tells me it was just another trailer we've already seen.

The End of Terminator Salvation will Divide Audiences

When a fourth Terminator film was first announced, it was revealed that the film would be the first of a planned three-film story arc, or trilogy. Halcyon has already announced the development of Terminator 5. All that is needed before they get the official green light is a nice opening weekend box office, which at this point, is pretty much expected.

There has been a lot of internet chatter about the ending of Terminator Salvation. An early internet leak of the film?s finale angered fans enough to warrant a rewrite. But how does the film end? Obviously the war is far from over by the time the credits role. So does the movie end on a high-note like A New Hope, or more of a dark cliffhanger like Empire Strikes Back??The ending is indeed elliptical,? McG tells MTV . ?And it challenges the audience. It?s not a happy little bow of an ending at all. The ending is tough and requires reflection, and in some degrees it bifurcates the audience. You walk back to the car and one person thinks it means this, and the other person thinks it means that.?that.?

At this point I just want to see more Terminator- I really don't care about the ending at them moment as long as I have fun watching the movie. It's not really that big of a deal we know that John Connor isn't going to die. Since there's more Terminator movies that are going to be made.

Schwarzenegger Approves Virtual Version of Himself for Terminator Salvation

Due to what seems to be incredibly heavy traffic, I haven?t been able to access the official website of the Governor of California (?!?) to see it for myself but Arnold Schwarzenegger has reportedly addressed the ins-and-outs of his role in McG?s Terminator Salvation in a new webcast. His ?maybe? left people even more confused? but thankfully, Variety have stepped in to reveal exactly what we can expect.

Apparently, a CG version of Schwarzenegger really will be appearing in the film. They describe the process by which this alter-Arnold was creatA body-cast mold of Schwarzenegger, created when he first appeared as the muscle-ripped cyborg, provided the basis for a digital-effects version of his famous character. The figure appears in Terminator Salvation as a living, breathing actor.actor.

So he hasn?t had to do a single thing! The body cast has just been sitting around for 25 years and was just pulled out of storage someplace. I hope he didn?t charge them too much for the privilege of using his likeness. I suppose Roland Kickinger provided motion capture, or an on-set torso for the acting Arnie to be pasted over??

Other comments in the Variety article suggest quite clearly that this CG creation has no lines to recite, so no voice over work would have Schwarzenegger viewed the resulting footage and gave his go-ahead just in time for McG to include the footage before the helmer completes his cut of the movie.f the movie.

There is an outside chance, I suppose, that they have woven in some prerecorded dialogue, most likely from a previous Terminator film or perhaps outtakes.. or even Junior, Kindergarten Cop or, who knows, a Governor of California press conference. If you ask me, he sounds quite similar no matter what he?s talking about.

It should only be a couple of weeks until Salvation starts screening and the wraps will well and truly come off.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.

      That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
