Just watched The Graduate....  cloud9:
An iconic film with great music  :thumbsup:

Staggering to think in those days an 'older woman' was Anne Bancroft who was only 35 when it was filmed

And Hoffman was only six years younger than her!  ;D
My new fact of the day  :thumbsup:
Well, whatever, nevermind

Quote from: IMDB
I am a massive Terminator 1 and 2 fan, I disliked 3 and 4 a lot and I really thought this would be terrible as well!

However I turned out to be wrong! Dead Wrong!

This film has the best Arnold character of them all! He is the most 'human' towards Sarah and I really loved that connection, I can see many people liking it also. It was reminiscent of John Connor and Arnold from T2 which I just saw today... I remember seeing the first trailer and having many problems. I thought the story line was too complicated and wasn't respectful of the older films and I thought the visuals were bad.

I was wrong in both cases. The story pays massive respect to James Camerons first two classics! And it wasn't complicated for me. It was a fun story and kept my eyes on the screen. Also the visuals... wow the visuals... I know people said that we will never be shocked again by visuals like we were in T2 and the first Jurassic Park! But the young T800 looks too good to ignore. Wow! The best animation I've ever seen, I can't see the difference between him and the real one.

This is a fun, humorous, emotional action flick that shouldn't be ignored! I loved it! And you know what, I'm not ashamed! Alan Taylor deserves praise!

P.S. I love the soundtrack, I hand it to Lorne Balfe who I know makes great soundtracks from Assassins creed!

I enjoyed it most muchly....  :thumbsup:

I thought T3 was very good too.  AFAIK no one on the planet admits to having paid money to see T4

Ah well Genisys is out on Blue Ray in a couple of weeks and based on that ^ . . . . .
Well, whatever, nevermind
