Terminator Salvation Motion Poster Gives Absolutely No New Information
Posted by Mark Wilson at 3:00 AM on November 28, 2008
If I were to have visited the Terminator Salvation set and seen all sorts of crazy stuff, there's a good chance I'd be under NDA so I couldn't talk about it until some specially designated time. But I bet it would have been a great trip that I was eager to share with you all.
Until that day does or does not come, here's a very brief Terminator Salvation motion poster teaser. It has no real content, but it's just eerie enough to snap you out of that turkey coma:

Don't know if you've noticed but doesnt this poster and the second image you posted kinda look allot like the head of a terminator?? The two explosions kinda remind me of the eyes in some of the original terminator posters.

No way, in fact, I am enjoying Sarah Connor Chronicles.
BTW, the end began in T3: Rise of the Machines :)

The Governator can play himself in this one. The robots kill the Governor of California after he performs several heroic acts, and then use him as the new face of the new T-800. They will have gone full circle.

@OMG! Happy Thanksgiving!: OK you've completely lost all legitimacy in everything you say and clearly have no taste in cinema. The Prestige was a good movie, and for a B-flick Reign of Fire was a fun Sci-Fi channel weekend time waster.

@EnochLight: The Prestige was a decent film - worth the two hours but not much else. It would have been better if, like Reign of Fire, it had Matthew McConaughey.
And dragons. There were no dragons in The Prestige.
Here is a list of movies that would be made better by Matthew McConaughey:
1: The Lord of the Rings movies. Imagine a shirtless Matthew McConaughey was there, splitting some Longbottom Leaf with Merry and Pippin. Orlando who?
2: The Godfather: Part II. How much better would the birthday scene with Hyman Roth be (the one with the cake shaped like Cuba) with shirtless Matthew McConaughey there, spreading his laid back charm.
3: The Return of Jedi. Matthew McConaughey kickin' back with some little furry balls o' joy. "Man, Threepio, y'all does know how to tell a story. Git over here, Leia. Y'know I'm better than Han and Luke combined. Besides, Luke's yer brother an' Vader's yer dad."
4: Amadeus. Everyone is running around Salzburg in period dress except for McConaughey who is chilling shirtless with a beer and a joint.
5: A Time To Kill. What's better than a movie with Matthew McConaughey? A movie with TWO Matthew McConaugheys.
OMG! Happy Thanksgiving!

Seriously, with all the hate? I mean, I've lost faith in the franchise too [T2 was the last good terminator-- ANYTHING] but I think the 'poster' is still cool. New movie will prob. suck too but w/e.
The fact that SCRUBS still hasn't ended is sad. Season 8 starts in Jan [ON ABC!]. So ridiculous.

@Ham_Sandwich: no, he won't. he's not working hollywood except to get cash for his party while he's the governor. when he's out of office he might go back to the series. or not. but by then he could probably just license his likeness for CGI anyway.

@chopstickhero: seconded on T3 sucking ass. it was the governator's "feel good" vehicle. notice how not one shot he fired actually hit a cop, where in T2 he shot their knees?
bleh. hopefully this one is better than that crap.
I'm liking the sarah conner chronicles but it does drag on a bit. the pilot was awesome, but like all tv series it has it's lulls. (not lolz, dweebs).

@Derek, IN: Yeah, y'know...I like watchin' her as much as the next guy (or girl - I don't discriminate) but I have all sorts of problems buying her character. For one thing - why? Were her builders deliberately targeting this show's primary demographic when they constructed her? Alright, MAYBE because she'd blend in better than another Ahnold but that begs another question - she had absolutely no problem portraying an average high school student pretty damn convincingly in the pilot but ever since she's suddenly clueless about how to behave like a human?

@Pixelologist: Yeah, it seemed to me that her behavior seemed more natural in the first episode too. In later episodes, one might appeal to damage (perhaps from the car bomb onward), but that seems to be reaching a bit. It seems as though the producers watched the first episode then asked Summer Glau to put some more River Tam into her Cameron.
