Terminator 3: Attack of the Terminatrix 372
jinx_ was among many who wrote in to say: "Arnold Schwarzenegger" is back for another installment of the Terminator Franchise. Reportedly a $30 million payday for Arnold.

For some reason they seem to have movie info MONTHS before everyone else finds out about it.
Want to find out if there will be a sequel to your favorite move? Check out IMDB. I saw the austin power sequels about 6 - 8 months (including casting) before anyone else found out.
hm... maybe Arnold will give some of his money to the EFF [eff.org]

Good enough should have been left alone after T2; I'm not sure how you'd make a sequal to improve on that movie even with a younger Arnold and a Linda Hamilton who isn't sick of James Cameron.
But yeah, I'm sure I'll see it, but this is a big mistake.

Either ways, it'd be interesting to see what the new improved Terminatrix sports as a feature. The last liquifying capability of the earlier Terminator sent back was way cool, and they need to surpass themselves here.
Also, with a name like Terminatrix, I'm expecting so see some parodies/spoof on indie movie sites on the Terminatrix/Dominatrix theme. Should be fun, eh ?

- that's how a T3 ass-wooper should be IMO.
But besides that, my guess is that transparency or super-camoflage will be T3 feature. Another possibility would be splitting into more entities (mini-mes) and kicking Arnyass from mulitiple angles. That would make for some awesome fighting scenes, if the robot suddenly splits into two and each of those do their thing.
Oh yeah, of course the whole thing would be filmed in matrix-o-scope with plenty of ninja moves.

And so will everyone else, and their brother. Hollywood (99% of it, anyway) stopped giving a damn about quality a long time ago. Now, filling the damn theater on opening weekend is priority 1 (because after the opening weekend, your friends tell you how bad it sucked, and you skip it). And why should they care? If piece of shit [imdb.com] movies can make $150 mil [imdb.com] due solely to mass advertising campaigns and a few big names in the cast, why should studios bother with plots?

If you're referring to movies educating people then I don't want to live in a world where such a thing happens. Remember how everyone was suddenly an expert on viruses after a string of crappy movies [imdb.com] came out in the mid-'90s? Remember how everyone was screaming about how we needed to set up a terrestrial defense system after a couple of even [imdb.com] crappier [imdb.com] movies came out a few years ago?
Such movies do nothing but foster a chicken little syndrome in the public at large. Hollywood has never relied on anything like historical accuracy [imdb.com] or facts [imdb.com] to get in the way of a story. If we expect people to be educated about or become aware of issues because of what they see in a movie then this world is indeed in a very sorry state.
I think the best we can expect to see out of this is the usual two-minute story on the local late-night news: "KILLER ROBOTS TAKING OVER THE WORLD! Can this happen here?" - followed by stock interviews with the guys from the MIT AI Lab [mit.edu].

So, what happened in the original Terminator for the sequel to happen? Uh, the robot lost its arm in a factory, which was later on found by computer scientists and used to create the AI that would end up fucking humanity's shit up. Sound familiar?
