Apparantly Schwarzenegger is the main force behind T3. T1 was Cameron's
first film, very low-budget (but the low budget was spent in the right
places, so it isn't all that obvious). It was a rousing success, but he
was in no position in those days to get control over the rights to his
work. So other people own the Terminator series, and Cameron would
rather work on projects he benefits more from. Linda Hamilton played
Connor in the first two films. She is Cameron's wife, I think, and
opted out of T3 too, claiming the script was soulless. Overall, this
sounds like the film that will kill the Terminator series dead.

According to IMDB, Cameron & Hamilton married in 1997 and are now divorced.
I also learned that she has an identical twin sister.

Three former M-Net folks? Care to name names (and/or login ids)?

re #103- I believe the twin sister made an appearance in T2 (the
character was having a dream in which she saw herself with a couple
kids)
Recently saw: Bulletproof Monk- and very much enjoyed it. The fight
scenes were a blast to watch, as well as Chow Yun Fat's interaction
with Seann William Scott's (I think that's him) character. There was
even a fairly decent pliot attached to it that I liked. Okay, it's a
martial arts film and often their plots are rather, well, lame- but one
doesn't go to see those movies for the plots. Really. <grins>
Lessee, also saw Rabbit Proof Fence- a movie about three Aborigine
girls trying to make their way home along the Rabbit Proof fence. A
really very hard movie, in some aspects, but very well done. Definitely
a tear jerker. The three young actresses did a really good job, imo.
Also saw The Importance of Being Earnest and loved it. I'm a big fan of
Colin Firth and Rupert Evertt and watching them together in this Oscar
Wilde play turned movie was just a blast. Judi Dench and Reese
Witherspoon did very well with their roles, I especially adored Dame
Judi Dench's protrayal. I was reminded in many ways of An Ideal
Husband, not at all surprising all things considered, and enjoyed this
movie just as much.
Oh and Ghost Ship... which had several things going for it, and all in
all wasn't a horrible movie. A crew who scavenge the oceans find
a 'deserted' oceanliner and go exploring while dreaming of how they
will spend their millions when they get it back to shore. Well, it of
course, can't work that way. As horror movies go- it was fun, a plot
different from a lot of horror movies I've seen. It just really wasn't
all that scarey to me. Some parts were definitely creepy, and some
things sudden, but just didn't particularly scare me. I still liked it
though.

We (bruce and i) also both liked "bulletproof monk". i thought that it was
an excellent example of the "bring your inner twelve-year-old" and have a
blast movie. (And the interaction/chemistry between Chow Yun-Fat and Seann
William Scott is amazingly good for a buddy movie. )

I didn't mind Ghost Ship, either, though I came in on the first
scene, which was a rather grisly little piece of special effects wizardry
involving God's own weed whacker and several pirouetting human weeds.

Saw "X2" last night at the midnight showing. (Yes, I was the oldest person
there.) I loved it, but I'm easy to please. My friends (hardcore X-Men fans
) weren't as thrilled with it as I was (too much back story they thought -
and that's true - there's tons of back story), but couldn't deny some of the
effects are pretty amazing. Got to see a ton of cool new mutants (Kitty
Pride, Banshee, Colossus, Pyro, Nightcrawler [worth price of admission, imo]
and Lady Deathstrike. Definitely worth not getting sleep. :)

Leslie & I just saw "Treasure Planet" on DVD. This Disney animated
setting of the Robert Louis Stevenson story was a notorious bomb
at the box office, losing maybe $140 million. But we loved it --
probably the best animated adventure story I've seen since, well,
I can't remember when. My only guess is that it was too literary
for the usual animated film audience. Now I wish we'd seen it on
the big screen.

Everyone I know who saw it (all three people, we weren't going to movies when
it was at the theatre) loved "Treasure Planet".
We saw X2. Very nice.

Julie's a bigger Marvel geek than I am, so I'm pretty sure she's
stoked for X2. I made a point of emphasizing clips of Nightcrawler in
the trailers and appearances of the actor on various shows-- the
character is a favorite of hers.
But we both agreed that we must see Matrix: Reloaded.

When I said I wanted the Future (tm) to be like the Jetsons, I had in mind
things like flying cars, housecleaning robots, and three day work weeks.
I did NOT want to see the movie named after the book that Elroy Jetson would
have had to do a book report on! Just what *is* it with the Disney people?

re-watched Zoolander on DVD, among others, LOVED it all over again.
Also watched A Mirror has two faces. Barbara Streissand is always a pleasure
to watch. Tried The Wizard of Oz, but I guess I'm too old for it

Matrix:Reloaded did not impress with the trailer at X2. I don't think I'll
go. (Though it was kind of funny to see all the Agent Smiths attacking Neo.
I was having a Elrond moment there.) What I want to see is The League of
Extraordinary Gentlemen. Wow. And Pirates of the Caribbean. Double wow.
Oh, and there were a couple of times in X2 where Magneto said something and
I was flashing on Gandalf saying it (he just used his "gandalf" voice, I
guess) so that was kind of funny too.
Nightcrawler was very very cool. I don't recall him having tattoos/brands in
the comics, though? I only ever read the later Xmen comics so I never actually
saw him being a major character in the comics.
