Your secret is safe with us
Ok I'll admit it. I like it too.
I don't watch films normally. I just don't enjoy them.
But when my sons were younger they hired both Terminator 2 and all 4 Dirty Harry movies. They particularly wanted to watch the Dead pool but decided to see all of them.
I being a good mother had to monitor this violence fest. And I am ashamed to say I enjoyed it all. Not only that but I have watched them all since
I haven't seen terminator or Terminator 3 though.
Why Terminator and the Dead Pool? Guns N' Roses. That's why.

I love Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
It's got one of the best baddies in cinema history, all the guns you could ever want, some cheesey one-liners, a passable Arnie performance, motorbikes, helicopters, explosions and many variations on "man made of mercury killing you by becoming different shapes" deaths.
Essential viewing.

What's wrong with you people? Ashamed?! Embarrassed?! Dirty?!!!! T2 is one of the greatest action films ever made!
As well as the never-seen-before fantastic morphing baddie, and the finest hours of Arnie's acting career, it had Linda Hamilton paving the way for kick-ass leading women in future action movies.
Simply fabulous

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I've even seen it dubbed into German before, which leads to an amusing anecdote:
Supposedly, Arnie isn't allowed to do his own German dubbing (even though he speaks the language) because his accent could be described as "rural Austrian". It would cause hoots of laughter in Germany in the same way that having the Wurzels deliver the Terminator's lines would here!

T2 is an enjoyable film (and probably the best of the sequels) but it’s not in the same league as the original Terminator.
But best of all is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, one of the best cancelled shows ever (thanks again Fox ) – well worth watching if you get the chance.

Was "Firefly" Fox too? Brilliant series stifled almost at birth. Great shame. K.

Yes Firefly was another Fox show – at least TSCC got two seasons and wasn’t cancelled halfway thought the first series, or the episodes shown out of order like Firefly. Fox are not good with their Sci-Fi shows. It looks like they have it in for Summer Glau especially; she was in Firefly, TSCC and Dollhouse – all now cancelled by Fox.

Ahhh.! That's better.
Back to back viewings of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources has done the trick! - I feel clean and morally superior again, now.
I promise not to surrender to my Adolescent instincts again. No!.. No more purile action/sci-fi/fantasy nonesence for me.
Well... I might watch the original Terminator, should it ever be on telly... Just for reasearch purposes, mind! Only to put the second one (that I was lead on to watch!) into context, what with it being a sequel and all, and I'll try not to enjoy it!

But don't you think Jean De Florette would have been better with a man made of a mercury-like substance, and a cyborg who looks like Arnie?

Now you come to mention it.- The odd truck chase through 1920s rural Prevence might have livened things up a bit.
There is an explosion, though!

Tut mowog - that`s a bit harsh !! I`ve been reading sci-fi since I was about 12 ( 51 years ago !! )and I`m certainly not classified as a moron.
Without some of the early visionaries,science would not be at the level it is now.
Arthur C.Clarke - father of the Geostationary satellite to name but one.
Remember - " anything that the human brain can conceive - humans will eventually create "
Terminator 3 has some incredible cinematography and certainly does not rely on CGI for it`s special effects.
You`re gonna love Avatar - there`s lots of Andriods in that !!

Yes. - I watched Terminator 2, last night!. I hate Sci-fi/action films and never watch them. They are idiotic and made for Morons, aren't they! But something made me watch, I couldn't help it... Not my fault really... And I swear I'll never do it again!
I have a coffee table that is a better actor than Arnold Schwartzenegger, but I think he carried off the part of an emotionless monotoned andriod very well. It must have stretched his acting abilities to the limit!
I'm pretty sure I caught a very brief glimpse of a Pentax, early on in the film, too.
Now, I'm off to watch an obscure and very pretentious French Art House film, with sub-titles, in order to cleanse myself.
Hasta la vista, baby!.
