Nice ruining an entire franchise in the first 5 mins of your movie, stupid.

Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
It's almost impressive how shit this movie was

Nice ruining an entire franchise in the first 5 mins of your movie, stupid.
It’s amazing how they just kept fucking up that franchise to the point they have to say “ok, these movies don’t count” and still trying to make a proper sequel to the second one. Not even James Cameron could fix it now and I think even Arnold has said it’s dead due to all the fuck ups.
It was confusing to me why Linda Hamilton agreed to be in this one. I think a lot of people assumed it might be better because of it and James Cameron's involvement but nope, still garbage. I dunno why Hollywood seems determined to rape the Terminator franchise more than any other.
It's pretty crazy how they both felt like entirely different genres but we're still so good. T1 was a kind of slasher, horror movie with sci-fi elements while the second one was an all out action sci-fi action movie. Cameron was a talented motherfucker back in the day. It's a shame he's become obsessed with making those garbage Avatar movies now but whatevs.
Im also one that prefers the first over the second. The second one is great and I but I just love the first. The terminator being a villain it’s like a sci - fi horror film.
I actually prefer the low budget feel of the first one. Cameron did a lot with a little, I also like how Arnold refused to say “I’ll be back” and how he felt it should have been “I will be back” and Cameron told him to read what’s on the fucking page.
I probably like them both equally. Just depends what type of movie you're in the mood for. This scene is still so fawkin good..
Also young Linda Hamilton can absolutely get it, even with her stupid 80s hairdo.
They need to bring back Eddie Furlong but keep him fat.
Edward Furlong was on a podcast recently in which he appears rather rough, fat, but present and not on drugs anymore. He described how he got a huge check to do T3 but had to promise he wouldn't do any drugs because they had to insure him and stuff for the movie. He proceeded to immediately buy a bunch of Cocaine and OD in the bathroom of some bar on the sunset strip, which obviously made the papers, and got him the fuck out of the movie.
The original holds up but I would struggle to sit through the rest. Robert Patrick's T1000 performance is iconic, but I probably wouldn't bother watching T2 again. Yewwww could be miiii-yiiinnee...
It's another series that forgets why the original was good and focuses on Arnold, increasingly stupid variations of Skynet, and trying to make the Terminators something new in every movie. How often can you time travel before people say they really don't give a care because there's no suspense anymore? (Twice apparently)

I didn't know that. It's funny because that movie had some of the most mediocre, forgettable actors in it in almost every role. The guy who played John Connor was boring af, the female terminator they got for the main role was incredibly shit (never seen her in anything since) and Claire Danes has always been an extremely shitty actress. In fact I think that's the last big movie she was in.
They should've never made another Terminator movie after that piece of shit but I think they went on to make about another five.
Anybody else think it's weird that humanities one and only killer robot franchise has to be stapled to time travel? They're just asking for trouble every installment.
It's a lot like Aliens in that it's an unnecessary, more mainstream action sequel to a standalone thriller that you'd be well within your rights to dislike for that reason, but is also so well-made in its own right that it's fair if it's someone's favorite too.
There were two elements I liked: the T-2000(?) was a neat gimmick but not as cool/scary/useful as the T-1000, and the cyberdyke being able to kick any human's ass because she was enhanced with Terminator tech is a reasonable explanation. Both of these were wasted in this, would have been better served in a different IP. I feel bad for poor old crusty Linda Hamilton, she clearly needed the work. I couldn't tell you a damn thing about it otherwise.
Also note the doctor from 1 & 2 had a small role in the 3rd one but was also completely forgotten.
lol. I know she is pretty old now but Jesus Christ, time has not been kind to her at all...
First one is the best. It's kind of fun to watch how they dealt with technical and budgetary limitations.
