    PART 4...I was tempted to see it when I saw that CHRISTIAN BALE was cast...but I quickly came to my senses and avoided it like the plague.....
    Best thing to come out of TERMINATOR SALVATION was Christian Bale's freakout on the lighting guy and the subsequent techno remix.

      He should get a cameo as a bad-guy getting shot by Robocop in the remake, just so he can complete his set.

          Before this incident I thought Bale was just another prettyboy actor. But this made me like him a lot. Kind of like when Russel Crowe beat up the receptionist at a NY hotel. Favourite actor of mine after that. Do I have issues?

            And here I was, thinking I was the only person who felt that way about both of these actors. If you have issues, my good fellow, then so do I

              I had the exact opposite reaction. People lose their temper -- fine. But rich, entitled assholes who play dress-up for a living tearing into some working-class guy whose just trying to do his job? Shitty.

                    I like people with "larger then life" personalities. Egomaniacs. The Klaus Kinskis of the world ;)

                          I didn't love it. It was fine for what it was. I think, in general, I prefer action in action movies to action in sci-if movies.

                            Here's the thing though - if you watch the video closely you see that that "working class guy" is actually a completely incompetent boob who keeps wandering in front of the camera and dicking around in general.

                            Then it becomes "rich entitled but skilled actor asshole" vs "incompetent union protected dumbass" who is wasting everyone's time.

                            Food for thought!

                              Didn't love the first one? What was missing for you?

                                I rarely "love" sci-fi.
