Explain to me again why we need “girl power” movies?
Who said we do? We just need good movies. Terminator series had some, and this looks like it could be one.
You didn’t vote for Hillary, bigot. Now take your medicine.
I don’t know but it is about time we finally get a strong woman in an action movie. Who is this Sarah Connor and why didn’t they introduce her sooner?
Not you. The linked article said that.
I hope it is good, the last one sucked eggs. I’m just tired of the feminization of action movies, and everything else for that matter.
When something is advertised as “gurl power” I pretty much assume it’s going to be as lame as Wakanda.
Maybe some action movies have been “feminized,” but I don’t think the Terminator ones were, and I doubt this one will be, either. Sarah CarterConnor is pretty bad ass.
Sarah Conner?
Rand probably met her when she was using one of her dozens of pseudonyms. The FBI wanted posters were covered with aka ___, aka ___, aka ___. She has to stay three steps ahead of Skynet, and if using one of her fake aliases in a blog post helps that goal, I’m all for it.
Yes, Connor. Though Sara Carter is pretty bad ass, too. One of the few real reporters on the collusion story.
The character arc of Sarah Connor is that she started as a soft, partying waitress, and then things happened, and she had to become more lethal, more focused, and more ruthless than any man, and colder and harder than a remorseless killing machine. There’s really no way to “feminize” that. In an interesting inversion, in T2 it’s the Terminator who has to soften and humanize her.
There’s really no way to “feminize” that.
Except it was her mother’s instinct that drove her to it. Rather transgressive today.

Ah, I miss movies that have them, particularly for female characters.
When something is advertised as “gurl power” I pretty much assume it’s going to be as lame as Wakanda.
You’ve described Captain Marvel. If Captain Marvel ever pissed off Sarah Connor she’d get hit so hard her DNA would be altered. Decades later her descendants would occasionally clutch their heads and yell “What The Hell was That?”.
Yeah, using the progressive stack in determining what characters are allowed is getting old.
You’ll notice that when the moviesw expresses “:girl power” they have Hamilton acting like a man.
Stern looks
toughness
Lots of firepower.
So I’m trying to think of the best way to reboot or re-imagine the Terminator franchise. I think we could replace the remorseless, conscienceless, but not horribly bright robot foes with something more single-minded, scripted, inflexible, and vile, yet more frighteningly real and familiar.
So I’m picturing a younger Linda Hamilton desperately running down a confined hallway, her eyes wide but her face filled with determination. Behind her we hear loud, incoherent bellowing, and then around the corner comes Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler brandishing documents, draped in cross-crossing ammunition belts loaded with rolled-up subpoenas.
Later, she has to crush them in an industrial press (if that’s not too much like the first Terminator movie), and we set it up for a sequel when Elijah Cummings visits the disaster scene, picks up a severed arm, and reads the summons it was clenching.
What if the enemy isn’t Skynet? What if it’s Meatnet?
Looks kind of cool. Every time a Terminator movie comes out people hope for the best but there have been a lot of disappointments.
For Linda Hamilton’s sake, I hope she was wearing ear protection in any of the shooting scenes she wasn’t stunt doubled. That goes for all past Terminators and this one. I’m not worried about the stunt doubles, they’re professionals and already know all about this. I’m sure there are clauses in her movie contract about this. Of course they can do so much with GCI these days. Whose to know?
To cycle a movie gun with a blank requires a restriction in the barrel. So the gun is firing a wimpy charge into what amounts to a silencer. The resulting raw sound is pretty wimpy.
That’s why they can have a room packed with cameramen, sound men, key grips, best boys, directors, and all the rest it take to shoot the scene. The loud bangs are added later.
