For the Terminator fans.
I checked out a few things from T3 and TG for the hell of it, and holy shit, they're even worse than previously imagined. I can't believe they made two movies where nothing makes sense and everything is treated like a farce. I'm dumbfounded.
At least TS tried to be serious. Still absolute dogshit, but better to be serious than goofy as fuck.
I had a lot of roommates in one of the houses I lived in back in the day, and I rented Aliens for people to watch one movie night. Nobody had seen it, and most of them had only vaguely heard of it. These guys were jocks and I was worried about how long the movie was.
Nobody got up for the whole movie. Everyone would hoot and hollar at the good parts, laughed loudy at Paxton, these guys didn't like the same movies as me but I will never forget their reaction to Aliens. Made me so pleased. When Ridley came in with that yellow mech suit they were looking at each other going "HOLY FUCK" and laughing/highfiving.
I've never seen a reaction like that to a movie, from people who mostly just watched football.
It's a very pleasant memory to this day.
Just saw this cool vid. Cameron talks about Aliens and even mentions (briefly) basically what he really thinks of the "other" films in the Terminator franchise.
