    i think bales only stellar performance as an american was patrick bateman in american psycho. but even then new york yuppie circa early 90's is not exactly a hard tone to pull off.

    It's not what he's doing, but HOW he's doing it. Bad voice acting.

    That's actually what I was thinking of. So we know he CAN do it, but lately he's been trying to add a "tough guy" growl to it and it sounds awful.

    I always found T2 and T3 to be his best performances as the human-killing machine.

    did he even kill anybody in either of those films? maybe as a side-kick robot, but the only time he was a menacing, hulking, human-killing cyborg was t1, if you ask me.

    Well.....yeah. In the other two films he was protecting John, who in turn told him not to kill. The closest he's been to the T1 version was at the end of Salvation, if that even counts...

    no, it doesn't count. i've said it before, but t1 is about the only one i really like. the others (including t2) can piss off.

    i'd have to say no just since terminator 2 was the biggest thing going when it came out. nothing was even close, people talked and talked about that film.

    The movie was a big event, this is true......but what in the world does that have to do with Professor's opinion that Arnold looked out of shape?

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

    Maybe she can entice the Great Cameron himself to return to the project in some manner.
    Yes, yes, a million times, YES. After that get him to make another Alien film after Ridley Scott's new one.

    When Terminator first came out, we were still thinking in linear Time.
    Well, now that's long been tossed out in the face of multiple time streams, parallel universes and even stranger Quantum realities.
    Back when we discussing The Sarah Conner Chronicles (which I thought rocked - mostly )somebody snarked about it not being part of the Terminator canon anyway.
    This is strange, since the whole premise( under Cameron, at least ) was about Fate Being What We Make. And even when Dark Horse did their Burning Earth series, the potential was there for wicked time changes.

    So likely the answer is - why not?

    Revive SCC, have a few films based in a Skynet altered universe, even follow up the conclusion in T2s Director's Cut. People got a bundle of universes to play in ...

    As one would expect, after the recent personal problems arising in Schwarzenneger's life, he has put all of his upcoming film projects on an indefinite hold.

    "Governor Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines. This includes Cry Macho, The Terminator franchise and other projects under consideration. We will resume discussions when Governor Schwarzenegger decides."
    This might be a good thing for the Terminator franchise. If they insist on keeping it going, they shouldn't bring him back imo.

    Could the next Terminator film be a complete reboot?

    Probably. Might as well. Doesn't matter which cheek you sit on when you're squeezing it out, a turd is still a turd.
