I am so sick of the stupid Terminator 3 commercials. They keep implying that the Terminator said he would be back and now he is. Well, that was a different Terminator; the one in the new movie is not the same Terminator, just the same model. Not to mention they are taking the “I’ll be back” comment out of context. They did the same thing for Terminator 2. I only hope this time people will stay away from the theater in protest. ---

😑 Yeah…but they always take quotes out of context in previews. It is annoying, though. ---

Well, that was a different Terminator; the one in the new movie is not the same Terminator, just the same model.** Well, he did get _dipped into a giant vat of boiling metal!_ It’s hardly the marketers’ fault if you thought it was misleading. ---

Why didn’t they get Eddie Furlong to play John Conner? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bradjam \* > \*\*Why didn’t they get Eddie Furlong to play John Conner? \*\* That’s what worries me about the quality of T3. Furlong’s about the right age, and he ain’t exactly tearin’ up the headlines these days. Shouldn’t he be jumping at the opportunity? Is it that bad? (Yeah, I’ll see it anyway.) ---

The rumour was that Furlong was too much to worry about because of his problems “drying out.” At least that’s what I heard. ---

Well it’s not like he had to play a barfly from the future in the movie. 😃 ---

Well, the [critics](http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/Terminator3RiseoftheMachines-1123632/) are loving it, for what it’s worth. We’ll end up seeing it sometime soon, but probably not tonight.
