    What human being has never watched Terminator? I’m guessing Sarah O’Connor is probably a Skynet ambassador who was bragging about their first confirmed kill.

      Nobody’s exposed to everything. I’ve never watched A Christmas Story and I don’t care to. I’ve never watched Back to the Future either, though it’s been on TV while I wasn’t paying attention. I’d watch those three though if I had someone to watch them with. I did however finally watch It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time last Christmas. Except for some of the angel stuff, it’s held up really well, and it had a really positive impact on me.

      Most people who were of movie going age when the third one came out. Would you go back and watch the first two if your first exposure to the series was Rise of the Machines?

        That’s actually exactly what happened to me lmao.

        First terminator I watched was 3 and it made me want to watch the rest because I like it so much.

            I mean it’s been a while since I’ve seen either and while I definitely remember judgement day being better they were both cool in their own ways.

            Arnold walking out of the crypt with the coffin full of guns and ammo while letting loose with the lmg will always be cool.

        I’d say 3 was the tipping point where it still managed to grab some new fans, despite being the worst of the first 3.

        The films that followed though, I get why no one was getting hooked in

      While I believe I have seen terminator 2, dunno about 1, but there are a ton of movies people think everyone has seen or should see that I have not. Some I even own (like Iron Giant).

      I’ve never watched Terminator. I like sci-fi generally (The Fifth Element is one of my favourite films) but I don’t know… it just never appealed to me. A lot of shooting and chasing and emoting I’m guessing? And Arnie. Not my cup of tea.

        Arnold only has like 5 lines in the entire movie, but he’s still an iconic, imposing, character.
