"There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys," he said, referring to aging male actors still anchoring movies, "but there isn't an example of that for women."

...I'm starting to think this old man didn't even watch Wonder Woman.

(or Fury Road)

 

[jwk94]

...I'm starting to think this old man didn't even watch Wonder Woman.

There were 50 and 60 year old women in WW??

Josh Friedman, who created the Terminator TV spinoff, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, were part of that room.

This interested me more than anything.

Huh.

First Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween, now this.

Right? These movies better be good.

 

[VeryGooster]

Dante’s Peak reboot when

 

[border]

You know. I always wondered what people like him do now? Like how does he make money?

Look at his IMDB page. He has had 2-3 acting roles almost every year for the past decade. 2000-2005 were his worst years, but even there he did roughly 1 movie per year.

Plenty of other "has-beens" just move on to some kind of normal day job, though. Or find jobs as directors, editors and other behind-the-camera work.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Whole fuckin Island of em.

Robin Wright is 51.

 

[kmfdmpig]

...I'm starting to think this old man didn't even watch Wonder Woman.

Yeah, that quote seems like he's still trying to win that argument while missing the range of ages of the Amazonians.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

You don't have to watch it.

Oh, but I will.

I will...

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Oh, but I will.

I will...

At least you're honest.

Robin Wright is 50 years old.......though her role in that film is little more than a cameo. And she doesn't kill any bad guys.

 

[Monocle]

I like how his gut is hidden behind a null color pane to make it 3d.

I may have chortled.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Robin Wright is 50 years old.......though her role in that film is little more than a cameo.

bullshit. That's a solid supporting role.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I'm still expecting this to wind up being "Part 3 of the Failed Terminator Trilogy Starters Trilogy".

 

[Sub_Level]

Just let the fucking series die.

I will always watch any movie that has

Predator
Alien
Terminator

in the title. Thats how good the originals were, that I can keep doing this to myself for decades and it doesn't really bother me. Because if they can capture even half of what made the originals good, then automatically thats at least worth a matinee.

 

[FUME5]

She's going to need a lot of juice to get those guns back.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

bullshit. That's a solid supporting role.

She was gone within the first 30 minutes of the film. I would think Sarah might stick around a bit longer than that.

 

[norm9]

bullshit. That's a solid supporting role.

Yup. It's important like Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross.

 

[PantherLotus]

I AM IN.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

Josh Friedman, who created the Terminator TV spinoff, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, were part of that room

WAOW!

quite shocked, honestly

EDIT: anyone else guessing that these new sequels will use multiple split-timelines theory to justify the existence of T3, Salvation, TSCC, and Genysis?

 

[border]

bullshit. That's a solid supporting role.

Does she have more than a dozen lines in the entire film? I couldn't help but feel like they hired her and then significantly scaled back the character she was meant to play.

 

[Apt101]

Out of shape Mark Hamil Prior to TFA says hi.

Seriously. Give him money, motivation, and encouragement, dude could be in shape by showtime.

 

[Slime]

Linda Hamilton and Lena Heady team up to destroy the timelines inhabited by Nick Stahl, Christian Bale and Emilia Clarke that are threatening to unravel the multiverse.

 

[Geist-]

Killing everything past T2 continuity-wise and bringing back Linda Hamilton?

Cameron has brought my interest back from the dead.

 

[Tobor]

May want to rethink the latter:

“There is no fate but what we make for ourselves!”

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Does she have more than a dozen lines in the entire film? I couldn't help but feel like they hired her and then significantly scaled back the character she was meant to play.

Etta Candy had just about as much screen time

 

[Bobby Roberts]

She was gone within the first 30 minutes of the film.

Does she have more than a dozen lines in the entire film?

So unless you get more than 30 minutes of screentime and 12 lines, you don't count.

Okay. Cool cool.

 

[Lord Fagan]

Linda Hamilton

Get the fuck outta town that's aweso-

David Goyer

...fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

 

[border]

I suppose the beautiful part of Terminator is that they can pretty much retcon T3, Salvation, and Genysis by sending a Terminator back to the period in between T2 and T3......new timeline, no baggage.

 

[jwk94]

Whole fuckin Island of em.

Robin Wright is 51.

Robin Wright is 50 years old.......though her role in that film is little more than a cameo. And she doesn't kill any bad guys.

Huh, I didn't realize that.

 

[PureYeti]

lol when you know the future cant be changed so you said fuck it

Haha well said. Screw being the fearless leader

 

[ryutaro's mama]

So unless you get more than 30 minutes of screentime and 12 lines, you don't count.

Okay. Cool cool.

Etta Candy had just about as much screen time and I found her a lot more entertaining. So sure, Robin Wright counts too.

 

[xandaca]

So are they just going to ignore the events of Terminator Genisys?

Given it basically rewrote the original Terminator, everything thereafter is theoretically open to change. If Cameron and co. do want to keep continuity, Genisys, as shambolic as it was, is what should make it possible for Hamilton's Connor to still be alive post-1997.

Anyway, the Terminators have been crap since T2, so not holding out any hope here.

EDIT: Just remembered Sarah Connor Chronicles, which was pretty good, title aside. I liked Lena Headey as Sarah, too, even if she was quite different to Hamilton's original.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

A washed up John Connor could be a cool idea. Dude lived off the grid, Judgement Day never came, so now he's some grizzled weirdo in a shack.

Linda coming back is cool. I'm kinda at the point where I don't give a shit though. They've fucked up so many times that I just *shrug* and hope for the best. This also applies to Alien.

 

[jwk94]

Wait, if they're bringing back Linda, does that mean they're bringing back John too?

I suppose the beautiful part of Terminator is that they can pretty much retcon T3, Salvation, and Genysis by sending a Terminator back to the period in between T2 and T3......new timeline, no baggage.

That didn't stop people from being mad about Sarah being different in Genisys.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Etta Candy had just about as much screen time and I found her a lot more entertaining. So sure, Robin Wright counts too.

This shit is weak.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

This shit is weak.

Just like the argument that Robin Wright's cameo was anything more than that.

 

[Slaythe]

Wait, if they're bringing back Linda, does that mean they're bringing back John too?



That didn't stop people from being mad about Sarah being different in Genisys.

Genesis undid the good movies while also being shit so it was begging for it.

 

[Timu]

Only way this works is if they follow Terminator 2. Anything after that can't be referenced.

That's what they're doing.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Does she have more than a dozen lines in the entire film? I couldn't help but feel like they hired her and then significantly scaled back the character she was meant to play.

Dude that’s not a cameo. “Go f yourself” is a cameo.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Just like the argument that Robin Wright's cameo was anything more than that.

But it's not a cameo, so like

look, nevermind. You got a pair of goalposts on your back and that shit takes concentration to move all by yourself. You don't wanna pull nothin. I get it. blow a hammy, blow an o-ring. Shit is painful!

You go ahead there, he-man.

Lift with your legs, not with your back!

 

[itwasTuesday]

don't insult he-man plz

 

[Monocle]

Just like the argument that Robin Wright's cameo was anything more than that.

Is it really a cameo if she's a major supporting character in the first act?

 

[kmfdmpig]

Just like the argument that Robin Wright's cameo was anything more than that.

Alfred Hitchcock's brief appearances in his films are cameos. Stan Lee's brief appearances are cameos. Robin Wright's role was definitely not a cameo. You can argue that she should have had a meatier role, but to say that she had a "cameo" is just 100% wrong.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Linda Hamilton in a new Terminator movie. What a time to be alive.

 

[Kyoufu]

Stop making Terminator films.

They'll never be good again.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

don't insult he-man plz

I withdraw the comparison to He-Man on the grounds that not even He-Man would have equivocated like Ryu's doin. He'd have recognized both examples as listed without trying to erase them.

Prince Adam is noble, after all.

 

[inm8num2]

Get the fuck outta town that's aweso-



...fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Goyer gets a lifetime pass from me for writing Death Warrant.

"You can't kill me, Burke. I'm the Sandman."

 

[Anung]

Genisys was so abysmal that it killed all interest I had in Terminator outside of the first two so I'd rather it just die.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

But it's not a cameo, so like

Cameo is purposefully hyperbolic, friend.

Vasquez was a solid supporting actress to Ripley by comparison to Robin Wright to Diana.

Robin Wright existed solely as

Spoiler

loss motivation for Diana. Nothing more.

 

[firehawk12]

This is the snake oil salesman trying to trick everyone. Come on!

 

[Herr Schwarz]

Dang, John Connor looks like he's seen some shit
