"Plotting Your Demis"
Posts: 342
Having recently watched T3, I found it to be better than 1 but not as good as 2, as strange as it may seem. Theres just one thing that I find strange, how a film that under 12s can watch (there were toddlers making a ruckus when I was trying to watch this film) can have so many unsuitable scenes. Such as when John Connor uses the F word about 3 times in rapid succession, or when the Terminator impales two people with her hands and there is a close up of the gore. Its not fair, as soon as I'm old enough to watch the films with swearing, gore and nudity, the age ratings slacken completely.
Good film though, let down only by "comic relief" (having jokes in the middle of action sequences).

I stand corrected.

Has anyone played the Terminator game? Is it any good?

He doesn't run the woman over, the truck goes over her. Remember, only the wheels touch the ground.

And did anyone else find the fight between the Terminators a bit rubbish? It was like they were taking turns. "I'll ram your head into this wlal, then you slam me through this partition...". And Arnie always seemed to come out on top, which is ridiculous.

Fair enough, but there are plenty who will disagree, and find the books and films dire.

Woah, woah. Easy there, I was joking, but still, you were wrong and I need to point that out.

Well yes, there's a load of mistakes, like when the TX has Kate on the ground and Arnie runs the TX over - he runs Kate over also! When the helicopter crushes the TX, it's been very badly rendered. The number on the plane changes when they land. There's loads...

LOTR doesn't "blow goats," I'm sure many would agree, I found the books and the films (well the first two) brilliant. Secondly, I'm not an idiot. You idiot. I posted this at 11.44pm, and having woken up early, I was tired, theres no need to call me an idiot because I wrote three instead of two.

About the Terminator (in T3) reforming with clothes (dagnab it), if you think about it, the film is riddled with lapses in attention to detail (such as how this extremely advanced machine can't manage to destroy a very old and obsolete version of itself, even though it was created to destroy Terminators). LOTR rules, with the exception of the comic relief scenes, I'd forgotten about Gimli burping, that one really made my blood boil.

One part of T3 I particularly liked was when Arnie appears. The intense heat from the time phere turned the sand into glass. Now THAT was cool.

Anyway, back to Terminator. Did anyone else notice a few mistakes in the film like when Arnold gets the car keys from the mirror like John Connor teaches him in T2 but he is a different machine nad shouldn't know this.

Also, when they go back in time the spheres the time machine makes, creates a hole in the ground in the first 2 terminators but this doesn't happen in T3.

But I still enjoyed the film and would give it a thumbs up.

Yup. Have read the LOTR a few times and I couldn't find ANY humour within! The only funny bits in the film are: Gandalf saying "follow your nose" in the mines of Moria and the bit where Gimli is boasting about how aware and alert he is when walking through Lorien. His "oh!" is a classic.

Well they don't have Lancashire accents.

I was only reminded of how much these accents annoyed me when they were playing one of the films in "Sanity" (nay Our Price). Although they do stock Physical Graffiti and sell it for less than Amazon, so they're let off.
