Makes sense since when the 2nd of the trilogy of new Terminator films comes out, Arnold won't be the Governator anymore, and could (I guess) make a real cameo or even starring role. Could he get back in shape again? Who knows, he did pretty good for T3 and that was only what, 6 years ago or so? Plus, look at Stallone for pete's sake. The man is a brick house still.

Maybe he could play the "older" Human that SkyNet takes the mold from to make the T-800 Arnold?

I hope to god this is better than the steaming pile that was T3 :no:

Before people start randting on about the book is never like the film, yeah I agree but beofre Terminator 3 came out there was a book called Terminator 3 Infiltrator which was a great book and it explained why JD failed. The book started off where JD ended, when I went and seen T3 I walked out just after 30 minutes because it was... there is only one way to put it. Rubbish they should have gone by this book because it would have made a great film, instead they went with Rise of the Machines.

I hope T4 is much better, from what I have seen there are going to be some Big a** boss Terminators in this film.

A few pages back there were talks of having Robert Patrick play a role in the other films as a old scientist trying to find ways of cell regeneration and become "healthy/young" again. I love that idea so much, especially if they use his research as a method of developing the T-1000 as they haven't been able to explain how that works or even if they carry a chip like all others. It would be cool if Arnold did something similar. Perhaps he was a solider in the resistance who was captured and they used his identity as they would think it was a friendly.

He's a little old to take on a starring role imo but I wouldn't mind him returning for some kind of role. I like his character but more importantly I like how they tie in the events of the past with events of the future, seeing the link between the movies makes me so happy :laugh: I have a nerdgasm everytime some kind of connection is made across various films.

I really dislike the idea that Judgement Day never happened. Like if it were real, sure obviously. But storywise I think it's much better that it happens. Some things are meant to be and no matter how much they try to change it still happens one way or another. This movie will be leaps and bounds better than T3. Although I will miss Kristanna :wub:

I agree on all counts. I do hope that one of the movies will get deeper in the story behind the t-1000.

Great interview and amazing ****in clips. I smell a new trailer coming with those new scenes. Love when the jet fighters take out the HK in the valley, and that shot of Connor looking across the battlefield.

This movie can't come out soon enough, so damn excited for it. Even though the originals can't be beat I have a feeling I'm going to like this movie better than all the rest. :$ I love how all their CGI effects don't feel like Michael Bay's CGI. It seems more real/believable. Transformers you can easily tell they are computer generated. Obviously a giant robot isn't all that believable but the textures they use, movements, ect. Makes them feel very fake. McG's are very lifelike and are going to look spectacular on the big screen. First movie in a long while I'm tripping over myself to get to the theater for, I'm even going to show up early to get some sweet seats!

and it figures those scans are in german! I was all excited to read them lol. Gotta love the grimy T-600. The Michael Myers of Terminators!

Cant wait for the new film, this is a great time of the year for films. :D

Industrial Light & Magic are doing both films CGI, so I don't see how either are going to be better.

There doing completely different types of robots when they are using CGI, what I have seen that is CGI in salvation is the giant robot, the bikes, and bits and bobs of other things. The Transformers are made to move more organically, and have to look like the vehicles they come from, hence the shiny colours and plating.

All the Terminators seem to be Animatronics in salvation too, which is giving them a realisitc edge obviously as its all there on set most of the time.

I think that's really cool despite the age of cheap CGI effects, you don't want to run into the Lucas paradox which is an over reliance on CGI leaving actors on green screen stages with nothing to interact with or you end up with dull monotone performances. Also the close up lighting and shadows will never look right on current generation CGI, I think that's still a far way off.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
