I think he was in _Armageddon_, but not _Deep Impact_. I didn't like
either particularly well. I liked _The Fifth Element_, though.

What do you think of the upcoming Terminator 3, starring Arnie, as usual? The
previous terminators were jolly good, i just hope this one will live up to
them.

Is James Cameron directing the next Terminator?

I don't think so.

I think it's going to be pretty funny to see Arnie having to fake his
own accent.

With a lot of Clint Eastwood's later movies, it was kind of funny
watching him, obviously aged, trying to act in an action role. In
the "Every Which Way But Loose" series, he was in his 50's or 60's but
in the role of a prize fighter. Why wasn't he torn right in half by
some of those 30-ish guys?
Arnold Schwarzenneger's character (I don't know how to spell his name),
as a robot from the future, should be ageless. In Terminator 2, he
already looked out of place because of his age, and that must have been
15 years ago. What are they going to do for this movie, have him
hobbling around with a cane and attacking people with his shuffleboard
stick? I dread his return in Terminator 4 in the year 2020, when the
robot character will have to be built into a wheelchair and probably in
company of a geriatric attendant.
It's an old circumstance for Hollywood, who had John Wayne slugging it
out and shooting it out on equal terms with much younger men. At least
John Wayne played the role of a grandfather in some of his later
movies. (A derring-do grandfather, but a grandfather.) "Rocky" got
older as the series continued. James Bond goes through cycles, getting
older then rejuvenated.
How can the Terminator get older, though?

Re #90: His accent is a lot less strong now than it was in the early
films. He'll have to force the stronger accent or it won't seem the same.

Oh, i see. You see, i've always watched The Terminator(s) dubbed in my
language, and that accent thing wasn't reflected, of course.
By the way, i've heard that in this Terminator Arnie represents a new model,
not the same one from Terminator 1/2, which looks older. I'm not 100% sure
about this, but anyway that would be a nice sleight of hand.
Well, "old" means "wise" too, but in the case of a Terminator, i have my
doubts...

My gut feeling says that without big director James Cameron, the flick
isn't going to do so well. The die-hard fans might see it, but I
can't imagine it being a success.

I could imagine Arnie as the "prototype" for the T1 robot, and appearing as
such in T3/4. It was a great twist in T2 with a pretty unassuming guy as the
real badass terminator character.

I liked the T2's creepy stalker vibe.

well, it seems one of the terminators, a newer, faster, more deadly model,
is actually female in build.
Go see Bulletproof Monk.
Good for the 12 year old in you.

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.
