I did! it was so sad! cry

I nearly cried - when "Nice" arnie terminator gave the thumbs up from the molten metal - The puke that surged up the back of my throat made my eyes sting as I choked it back down.

Sad indeed.

I do recall some slight emotional turmoil back when I was a youngen. It was more of a mister than an actual load of tears.

Well I was very young so obviously it did emotionallly affect me to a certain extent. The last scene of the film made me look at it from the point of view of John's character so I felt sorry and sad. It also made me wish I had a Terminator of my own lol.

Its the only time an action movie had such emotion.

True, it was the time I felt the most sadness for a hero dying in a film.

ya the thumbs up will alwayz b a classic.. i cry every time.. in the t2:3d ride they show that THUMBS UP sign a lot.. it actually pretty amazing

Yeah I don't think anyone will ever forget the thumbs up.

i am feeling end at this thread that keeps poping up ill

?

ditto

I meant to say -- I am feeling ILL that this thread keeps poping up -

ill

NEVERMIND!

err.k

WELL... icried coz i luv Robert Patrick and he died.....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I didn't cry when he did the thumbs up, I cried long before that when John started crying.

Same here

I'm crying right now just thinking about it weep

Oh chin up you lot !

I'll try

LMAO.. well, umm the first time i watched it i questioned myself just like john said IS HE DEAD... so when arnie did say TERMINATED i thanked God tht the misery was over for john

same here

The TX's death was so lame compared to the T-1000.

A stupid chopper cut her in half, come on !

Everytime I think about the end of T2 I start to bawl my eyes out. Not becuase of the way T2 ended, but because that means T3 is going to begin.

weep

Haha nicely put.

yeah

Hehehe. Although I must admit I got a bit misty eyed when I saw it, it was a powerful emotional climax. And I agree, the TX really didn't compare to the T-1000, why go from near indestructible to easily damaged in car accident/science equipment/helicopter accident...

coz john connor has2realize his fooooooookin destiny tht he DIDNT WANNA REALISE since the cradle

'Realise his destiny'

How lame.

yeah!

Haha they're just advertising the release of T3 on television down here. The trailer brings back not-so-fond memories..

Funny




Yet sad weep

I own T3, though I have only watched it like once or twice. I walked across the room the other day that had HBO on and T3 was playing. My slight glimpse of the screen made me want to run back to DVDs and smash T3.

Don't blame ya one bit.

ya i also tried watchin t3 on hbo but cudnt. just because.. well n o need2explain

I have it on DVD, mostly because I'm an Arnie and Terminator fan.

I rather watch DVDs than watch it on cable, maybe its just me.

Yea I have it because I have almost all of arnie's movies. I would also rather watch a DVD. The remote with all the buttons makes me feel in control......yea.....I like that

I didnt cry, but some tears began to well...

Yeah Dogbert, I didn't really cry either but my eyes did well up.

Same here

We think alike!

Say, do you have Preadator? Thats an awesome Arnie movie.

Yeah I do, its funny to me everytime I see Arnie saying "ugly motherfu*ker" lol

You ever see the Arnie film, Pumping Iron?

Nah mate, thats where its all about his body building story right?

Yeah its a documentary, Lou Ferrigno (from the live action Hulk series) was also in the film.

I'd have prefferred Lou to that miserable CGI excuse in the latest movie.

Yeah me too.

I actually got to meet Lou last summer.

Haha really !
Is he as buff as he looks on screen?

Yeah, not like his body building days, but certainly alot better than Arnie is doing these days. He is 54 years old and still looks like he is in late 30's or in his 40's. Very serious though, don't expect much laughter from him.

Haha, seems the sort...

It was funny though because he had a Polaroid camera and when someone was going to get a picture taken with him, he would just shove the camera into someone's arms and they would take the picture for him without exchanging not one word.

Haha whoa, talk about authority.

Yeah then he would smile for the picture and then be serious again and sit down and wait for more people to get their pictures taken.

You didn't even have to ask for the autograph either he would just sign one and hand it to you, then you gave him money lol.

lol, All routine huh.

Yeah like a real life Terminator lol.

lol, say he'd make a pretty good one.

Yeah he doesn't even have to act like a Terminator, its already natural for him. Now I know why they chose him to play the Hulk.

He wudve been better than that CGI piece of crap.

Yeah the CGI is so costly you can't even afford to have a character like the Hulk on screen for more than 5 minutes at a time. A human or animatronic Hulk would have been much cheaper and sufficient.

And not big and plastic-looking.

Back on topic, the end of T2 certainly is up there with some of cinema's saddest moments ...

Yeah, I think I was about 7 when I first saw that movie. It was VERY hard fighting back those tears!

I think the brilliant acting by Eddie Furlong made it even more troubling.

It's that damn thumbs up that gets me every time!

Haha yeah, also that half-second where we look through the terminators eyes and we see its program zap into a small square and disappear...

yeah weep

It shouldve ended with that completely, that would've rocked.
(not cross over to John crying, we already saw that).

True, but I still enjoyed the last part of it with the camera going through the road and Sarah saying some last words.

DUDE.. THE THEME ALSO PLAYED THE PART IN THE END..

also true......

Yeah there wasn't anything wrong with the road part.

I thought it was classic.

It really tied everything up so well.

Yes it did.

But then T3 threw that all away.

Every topic we talk about leads to how T3 destroyed that aspect.

I still try and watch T2 and TRY to wipe T3 from my mind. I want to go back to that happy place I was in when T3 didnt exist and all was good with Terminator.

The ending would mean so much more if that shitty T3 was never made.

I hope one day the Men In Black put those memory-wipe gizmos on the market so I can zap everyone with them and wipe away the bad T3 memories and leave them with T2 ending the saga. Then I'll use it on myself after convincing the President to hand over control to me.

How about this as a new year's resolution? Don't let every thread descend into T3 bashing ...

I might fail that New Year's Resolution.

Try. For me. Please ?

I'll try, but I don't know how long I can hold it in.

And again !!

That is perhaps the most difficult thing anyone could ever ask of me.

I agree

Just forget it, eh? I know that such a resolution wouldn't hold for long anyway ...

It would for the first 10 minutes of the new year.

Merry Christmas!

Thats the third one ive seen.

Still, they're all very festive .

Christmas is over now though.

But it still is the festive season ...

Yeah, there is still New Years!

Somehow its all indifferent to me now..

yeah

Just another day.

Christmas was just another day too.

Oh yes, lol.

New Years will probably be the same also

New years is going to be a looonnnng night of boozing, then having to work in the morning (gargh) very very drunk. I probably wont even sleep at all.

I'm sure we will all do a little of drinking and not sleeping that day.

I think im working both days...

I think im working both days...

I think im working both days...

did not cry at the end of T2, but was kind of sad to see the Robot die(If that can happen???? As it is not a living thing)

How bout.. 'permanent malfunction'

Well when any living organism ceases to live it can be considered to have died.

Considering the T-850 (Arnold) had it's endo-skeleton sorrounded by living tissue, blood, hair and all of these things are living then in a way I suppose that in theory it did die.

Did the T-1000 die?

nope

There we go.

yup

Technically he shouldnt be allowed to time travel either, someone said.

Yeah there have been so many dabates and theories about that.

You have any?

I generally just ignore it and enjoy the movie, lol

True, it honestly doesn't bother me one bit.

What are you talking about!?

CGI Hulk rocked! so much buffer and how Hulk should be. It looked so real...

Yeah, but they he could have looked just as realistic if not more had he been an animatronic Hulk.

What, that big hunk of play dough?
Hell no.

They did just fine with Mighty Joe Young and 1998 and he was a 15 foot tall animatronic robot.

Hey yeah, nothing wrong with that.

Not at all, I would use animatronics over CGI any day.

CGI is only good if used wisely. These days they make a meal of it.

Films are all about CGI these days, they might as well ALL be animated films.

Haha yeah, its like playing with a new toy, really going overboard.

They rely too much on it these days, I miss the days of the Predator, Aliens, etc.

Yeah !!
Those movies hit the blend very nicely.

Yeah, true classics just like in Terminator 1 with the stop motion technology.

Only thats starting to slowly look a little old.

yeah and a bit funny actually.

Esp when it charges Reese who tries to close the door on it. Very fake, lol.

Looks like a demented chicken.

But T2 has no such worries.

Not at all

lol, i remember how awsome I thought that stop motion was back when the movie came out. I look at it now and wonder how in the hell it ever dropped my jaw in the first place.

same here,

Its amazing really.

Gumby was amazing. "he can walk into any book, with his poney pal pokey too, if youve got a hear than Gumbys a part of youuuuuooouuuuu"

I didnt cry but it was touching and gave me goosebumps.

I agree, it was.
