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.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Phillip0web · Posted

      They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By Steven P. · Posted

      24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though

      I'll move to it when it hits beta, I suspect.

      The entire world moved to the vastly superior and now universally supported Dolby Atmos technology a very long time ago, mate.
