Rightwingguy,

The A-10 “Hawg” is a titanium bathtub piggybacked on a weapons platform for the 30mm Gatling that fires so-un-PC depleted uranium rounds. It is designed so it can take considerably more abuse than the high-fliers. Yes, canopy fliers are purtier to look at, but not for me. The A-10 fits thematically within the film.

“We Are The Resistance”

The new tagline for Conservative Constitutionalists.

This movie is going to be AWESOME.

I’m so ditching my girlfriend when it comes out, and seeing it

Am I the only one excited that Michael Ironside is in this?!?!

Me and my wife are already looking for a sitter that opening night for a date night.

This is the first time I saw Michael Ironside. That is awesome! Nobody plays a better aging soldier then him. He always comes off tough as nails. He like the next generation Clint Eastwood.

btw, a remake of Red Dawn is in pre-production right now – casting breakdowns went out last week.

a more realistic version would have China, who controls the LA port, pre-plant biologicals in every city and town, then have a Manchurian candidate president declare martial law over the remaining population, and then…. hey, wait a minute.

kind of like Led Zeppelin. People need to stop trying to cover them. But, I digress.

No, no…go on. We just don’t talk about Zeppelin enough here at HotAir. (MetroBoy must be into pop or something, but where the hell is Ed?)

Eff that self-important twit Bale. He’s not important enough to ruin the war porn orgy that I just witnessed. It’s simply too awesome.

Can’t wait.

Yes and the T-888, but I’m pretty sure the war ends before the 1000 series ceases production.

My wife says, “how come they just don’t drop a EMP bomb on them and then end it already”. Boy, she got a good smackin’, I tell ya.

OMG that is 100 lbs. of AWESOME in a 50 lb. sack.

I only wish the TV show actors had been integrated, major “synergy fail” there. No wonder TV is failing so badly.

Seeing this topic here, it compels me to recommend that you take a look at this recording of a video game that I put on my game blog of a production called Mechanized Attack, made by SNK Corp. in 1989. It features cyborgs with prosthetic skin coverings not unlike the Terminator back in the day. And interestingly enough, it was made 2 years before James Cameron made the sequel to his 1984 movie called Judgement Day. If you want to play the game, you can surely find it online by searching for the M.A.M.E program and the ROM files for the game itself on Google. Enjoy! And I suppose when this latest Terminator movie gets to Israel, I'll see if I can check it out.

The preview, which I have seen in the theaters a few times, seems to be all action, and completely missing the interpersonal drama that was really central in the first 3 movies.

Allah, don’t mess with Goodfellas. Not every classic needs a remake. Incredibly perfect movie…kind of like Led Zeppelin. People need to stop trying to cover them. But, I digress.

this movie freaks me out as much as it excites me, which is a lot.

Personally, I’m really excited to see this. The first two Terminator flicks are all-time favorites, the third one was a ridiculous insult on nearly every level.

Even without Jim Cameron at the helm, this at least looks like a hell of a step up from T3. The addition of Michael “Sam Fisher” Ironside is just more icing on the cake.

(BTW V-rod, the T-1000 was not a cyborg, and if memory serves it was also a one-of-a-kind prototype.)

Giant robots only belong in Japanese flicks,Tranformers movies and Wild Wild West.

YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)

PG-13. ‘nough said.

I find it funny that I see hear bad words in Pg-13 movies these days, yet kids these days have fouler mouths.

Considering that the T-1000 and T-X cyborgs came out, I take it the resistance still has a ways to go after this film.

I’ll go see it, when it finally rolls around to theatres here in Germany. As for Bale, he gets hired to over act at least a little. Though I still think his best role was in the Prestige, which is surprisingly low-key for him. Michael Caine has consistently shown a willingness to work with Bale, and that’s good enough for me.

I’m more excited about Michael Ironside being in this than anything else.

Ironside is AWESOME!

He should have been the main character of the movie, he should have been the terminator.

Poor choice for John Conner, although the trailer looks pretty good.

What about Obama as Conner? Those chiseled pecs, the 10″ bulging biceps. The true hero to so many uninformed people, the irony is perfect. The teleprompters placed everywhere for his awe-inspiring speeches to raise up a nation to fight against the opressive machine. The Obamamedia filming his every move and action, the 2 hour morning workout prior to running the World.
Suddenly Michelle (who still hates this nation)appears, rips off her sleeves to display those twin cannons of hers and takes on several terminators by herself, rips their heads off and takes their money to go shopping for $540 shoes and a fashion show in Paris and a gardening class in Italy.

Plot twist: I want the machines to win!!!

I’m waiting for James Cameron’s Avatar, whose 3-D effects are rumored to be game-changing.

Ironside must have one of the best voices in the biz. Instantly recognizable. Loved him in Total Recall.

This preview looks ok I guess, but I’m always thinking “Matrix, Matrix, Matrix” whenever I see the previews, even though Terminator predates that Keanu Reeves crap by years. Unfortunate.

I’m going to toss out an idea; don’t react until you’ve really thought it through. A remake of GoodFellas with Pacino in the DeNiro role, Bale in the Liotta part, and Shatner doing his best Joe Pesci. Awesome.

Would be, but Goodfellas was as close to perfect as movies get, outside of Godfather Parts I and II and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
