Wow, you must have really enjoyed the movie, that makes two of us. I completely agree with you the movie deserves nothing less than a 10/10 making it the best comic book film ever made at least in my eyes. I doubt any other comic book film can do better besides a Batman Begins sequel.
I hope you get to see it soon too rulz,
Also if anyone was wondering, the reason I don't have a link to the Terminator forum under my sig anymore is because the last time I updated it, it wouldn't let me place the link apparently I can't have two links.
I just thought this seemed interesting since the Terminator's CPU chip and arm were retrieved by Cyberdyne systems for study after the Terminator had been ultimately destroyed by Kyle and Sarah. Both this and the claimed Roswell information below make them nearly the same also because both involve collecting debris or materials to develop advanced technology among other things. Another note, the book containing this alleged information was not published until the mid 90's after the Terminator franchise had already been created. Strange how the events, technology, etc. of the Terminator films ring a bell with the real world sometimes.
Col. Philip J. Corso, President Eisenhower's science advisor and a member of the National Security Council in the 1950s, has not only confirmed that an alien spacecraft and bodies were recovered at Roswell in 1947, but he relates how he participated in a "reverse engineering" program to make recovered alien technology available to U.S. industry.
Corso claims that in the early sixties he headed the Army's Foreign Technology Division, in which capacity he oversaw the handling of alien material recovered from a saucer crash in New Mexico. Moreover, Corso says his office supplied portions of the saucer debris to various defense contractors and high-tech labs (who were led to think that it was stolen Soviet technology) who developed out of the bestowal such modern marvels as the computer chip, fiber optics, and kevlar.
Corso's job in 1961-2 was to study the Roswell artifacts, read the investigators' reports, then determine which government contractor would be given the artifact under the guise of technology stolen from a foreign military power.
For example, Corso learned one of the broken computer chips from the Roswell crash were given to Bell Telephone labs in 1948. The chip was reverse-engineered and resulted in a catapulting of the computer industry. Prior to that, computer development was much slower.
The book is titled The Day After Roswell and a small portion of it can be read HERE
The Terminator is a landmark science-fiction film and benchmark for others to aim for. As one of his finest performances, casting Schwarzenegger was absolutely a stroke of genius. Perfectly conveying the essence of an emotionless, unstoppable cyborg.
It's a non-stop riveting action thriller ride, packed with impressive special effects. One of the best pieces of its kind ever made. Thanks to The Digital Bits, you will be able to take home a copy of this landmark science-fiction film, when it hits store shelves this October 25th.
That'd be a pretty good PSP movie. A classic movie, ready to play in the palm of your hands lol.
Completely off topic tho, hehe, I jus watched T3 again on Sky Movies 2. LOL it's not that bad. No where near perfection like T2, but still good nonetheless.
The ending was quite good i reckon, with the T-800 endo blinking out, and John Connor's voiceover lol.

No such thing as off-topic here Tmac, lol. But yeah, I thought T3 was an excellent action film although not necessarily a great Terminator film to be honest.
Btw, a pic of old school Arnie with a Hummer just for fun.
Arnolds acting is inconsistent. In some scenes he seems way too robotic. The Terminator is supposed to be a machine, but efficient, not jerky movement. The Judgment Day scene has him doing some real jerky robotic stuff. At the end when he is shredded up he seems too human.
The story is something that has been done before. This is the third time we have rehased the same two plots, though the "stop Judgment Day sideplot was omitted from T1, it was still filmed."
Three the Terminator gags, particularly the sunglasses, have no real significance and seem to be present as a homage to the original two.
Other then that, it's a fine popcorn action movie.
