Terminator 4 sucks

So, I just came back from Terminator Salvation, and it sucks.

The Ahnold scene was a complete turn off.
The effects were too CG. Not credible.

The good thing was that many scenes were straight from the original trilogy.
The jeep, the fight in the terminator factory, Ahnold melted and frozen, many shots were even in the same angles they used for similar shots in the originals, making this movie feel as an integral part of the terminator world.

Well Ahnold isn't a 14 year old girl so I don't know what to say. 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'll still see it. I had planned to do it tonight, but changed me mind. I'll try for a matinee.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

There were only 2 Terminator movies, just like there were only 2 Alien movies.  Anyone who says different lies.

I didn't know about it till I read a post on Wargamer that the tie in game for PC can't be installed because they fucked up the installer in the production process. I honestly thought this would be game only, though, till I checked their webpage.

I didn't know about it until I was watching Terminator III and the director of IV was emceeing it.

Director looks like he belongs on Queer Eye.  Not all giggly and floppy, just the look.

Alien 3 could have been good. The setting and atmosphere were ok, but the story totally sucked.

Indeed, along with only one Highlander movie.
