GAH. I'll leave the eloquent attacks to Jesse, but this is fucking exasperating.
[ETA: Reliably, Jesse chimes in with, "Why don't they just set the Future Wars in a field of FUCKING DAISIES?" Why, indeed, Big Daddy.]
Casting James Marsden as John Connor should work, if only because he's a completely bloodless actor and could be punctured by future bullets in a PG-13 movie, totally full-on.
Aside from that, all I can say for now is: The future is set; there is no crap, except what the studios make for themselves.

Posted by: Holly at May 5, 2008 04:10 PMThis seems like a good time to say that I believe Randy Moss stole Marvin Harrison's gun and framed him. J'accuse.
It also seems like a good time to suggest that T4 should introduce the T-Juv played by Dakota Fanning in this hideous new misappropriation of the franchise.
Posted by: j at May 5, 2008 08:28 PMAm I the only one who liked T3? I know the new terminator wasn't as cool as the 2000, but it was still entertaining. I think these movies suffer under the Star Wars syndrome, and the fan devotion inflates them to be much more important movies than they actually are. They're just popcorn movies.
Of course it will suck as a PG-13 film; I'm not arguing that.
Posted by: Scott at May 6, 2008 08:08 AMyou guys know the score, the producers cannot self-terminate, it's up to us to lower them into the steel.
Since when does "popcorn movie" imply "lazy filmmaking"? The script for T3 was shit.
Posted by: Shea at May 6, 2008 09:39 AMOh my sweet pajamas did T3 suck. I rounded up all my friends and cajoled them into seeing it. I was the first one trashing it on the way out.
