come with me if you want to live

Some people were desperately waiting to see Wolverine. Some people were desperately waiting to see Star Trek. I have been desperately waiting to see Terminator Salvation.

AWESOME MOVIE CONTAINED THE FOLLOWING AWESOME:
- John Connor holding the picture of pregnant Sarah in the gas station (even though the recordings were obviously not Linda Hamilton's voice, which was weird).
- Reese said, "Come with me if you want to live."
- John said, "I'll be back."
- Christian Bale's explanation about how his on-set diva freak-out was because of his method acting is almost believable.
- Hot bad-ass Native lady resistance fighter did I mention hot-ass?
- Adorable little black girl child solider
- John was appropriately emo about his destiny
- The commander on the sub was like a hilarious Jack Nicholson impersonator, presumably because McG could not afford to hire Jack Nicholson.
- Apparently training as a veterinarian means you can also be a heart surgeon.
- Marcus, I had feelings. True to the franchise, which has always been about the survival of humanity through finding the humanity in machines. Don't laugh at me. I believe this.
- NAKED GOVERNATOR.
- Everyone huddled over the radios was totally shades of Independence Day, in a way where it was AWESOME.
- Also, everything.

Please to note: I am not rational about the Terminator franchise of movies. (Some people watched Terminator II and Terminator III this week to get suitably pumped.) Please to note the post I made about Rise of the Machines, where I tried to argue that the Terminator franchise represents the mytharc of human technology over the last thirty years.

I haven't even been drinking, I swear.
