Terminate This: Part Un

We haven't really bothered with any of the Terminator movies since T-2 which we wrote about here. Nut graph as the J-school losers say, T-2 was the most enjoyable movie experience of our life.

We did watch T-3 and thought it was...not terrible (said with an uptalking question mark). Making the Terminator a chick was boring. But she was ever so slighly big in the hips and we kinds dig that...

Anyway, we saw the commercials for Dark Fate, and while having zero faith the movie would be any good, did think the idea of a Terminator hunting Sarah Connor was pretty cool. So did Breitbart's John Nolte. 

Nolte, who is right about everything, is certainly right about this:
One of the many questions Dark Fate has to answer is what Sarah Connor has been doing since 1991, since the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. As I mentioned in my review, it’s actually a cool answer. It turns out that before Skynet was destroyed in T2, they managed to send back a bunch of Terminators, stragglers if you will, and Connor’s dedicated her life to destroying them. Like I mentioned before, that’s a concept that might have made for a pretty cool movie: a stripped out, Logan-style, down-and-dirty genre feature… A weathered, aging, grieving, emotionally empty, alcoholic Sarah Connor roaming the world as a Terminator hunter. Sarah Connor is now a Terminator. If done right, I’d pay to see that twice.
Kinda cool, right? Needless to say, they fuck up the entire movie. 

Terminator-2, a damn near perfect movie, ended the saga perfectly. Stop fucking around with it!

We'll be discussing Terminator all this week here at William Stroock dot blogspot dot com.

Ok. Hasta la Vista, baby.
