terminator

I was cruising the web and noticed a few pieces over on one of my favorite sites… Killer Film.  I spied a piece on the movie rating for the upcoming Terminator 5 movie, and a bit on the story that will unfold in The Amazing Spider-Man

Terminator Salvation

First one up was that they spotted a bit of movie news about the next, upcoming Terminator franchise film and that they are looking to make the next chapter of the franchise, Terminator 5, that it will be rated R.

And that’s a bold and daring move in this ever shaky market these days, but it is something that hard-core movie-goers can appreciate.

PG-13 makes movies more marketable to the section of the consumers that have the most time, a chunk of money, and no bills wearing them down.  But true movie fans always cringe when they see a movie getting the PG-13 stamp…  it seems to cheapen them up a bit, or take some of the reality connections out of a film.  Or so they say.

Terminator franchise

I’ve warned as many as I can that today, in the lore of the Terminator franchise, is the day that Skynet becomes aware, becomes operational.  I deplored many to unplug everything…  but to no avail.

Come this Thursday, Skynet will attack humanity.  The beginning of the end is here.

That is, unless John Connor somehow managed to stop it before it began.  But just in case, stash up on supplies and prepare yourself for what the Terminator franchise has warned us about!

Get to the hills and wait.  You’ve been warned!!!
