Dear Friends,
So I watched "Terminator Salvation" last night and what can I say... Meh...
It just seemed very mediocre and as if everyone was their to collect their paychecks and leave. Lots of cool explosions, chase scenes and robot fighting but there was something about it that just kinda seemed.......phoned in.
Take the scene, for example, where John Conner (played by a seemingly irritated Christian Bale....wonder why?) is sneaking into the Skynet base. Now this is something that they lead you to believe is a nearly impossible feat....something that no human DARE to attempt because of how sophisticated these machines are and how advanced their strategy and thinking is. In the scene, John walks up to a door with a key pad....prys open the bottom panel. Attaches a computer to the wires....types the word "override" to.......ya....you guessed it.....override the system....and the doors open.
Now if this does not speak to the true intelligence of the superior machine enemy dominating the world through use of technology....a few seconds later...a T-600 guard comes strolling by and in order to evade IT, John simply sneaks around the corner.
As if he is Hudson Freaking Hawk.
Come on now. It's a ROBOT!
It's not a 35 year old college drop out who recently lost his job as night security at the mall and only got recruited by Skynet cause his cousin knows the head touret gun guard.
Maybe this robot guard was like they Chris Farley character in black sheep.......always screwing things up where ever he went. So Skynet was like..."hey! I know we'll let him guard the door to our base....you know the one where it's impossible for any human to figure out are super sophisticated secret code-system of attaching a Nintendo DS to it and typing out exactly what they want to happen and then, magically it just........happens........with no computer hacking training or ability what so ever."
Look...I accidentally turned Jersey Shore once and the batteries went dead in my remote....so I know some of us humans are a few mistresses short of being a well known golfer but....if this excellent display of super human, advanced technology is able to take the world over.....wow...not even Batman can save us....
P.S. and what's with the Asian girl falling in love with the robocop guy? Seriously?
Dear Friends.....
Anthony is a little bit older now, a little bit wiser. But let's face it, he still has crazy thoughts that should probably be put in writing. So "Dear Friends..." has made a roaring comeback. :)
