ReplyDeleteI'm still convinced that Arnie is going to portray the T-800s physical inspiration that switched teams...or the T-800 is simply adapting to the outside world by pretending to age.
Just can't wait !
Dada da dada, dada da dada.
Yay! As if I didn't have enough reasons to be excited about this movie!
ReplyDeleteSo I am on the fence about this movie because the first two are like so great and T2 remains one of my favourite sci-fi films but I have to say I'm excited to see both Emilia Clarke and now Matt in this.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that makes me exited about it's Emilia Clark, because truth is, I don't know why they would want to mess with the Terminator franchise, and let's be honest, prequels tend to mess up everything.
ReplyDeleteI'm mostly excited for Matt Smith and Emilia Clarke!
