The last bit for millennials was great. "There was a war, then a recession, then another recession, then a plague...followed up by more war."

13:20 A bright spark executive: "Its a lady alien!"

Ah been wondering about this thought it had been cancelled.

I hated the whole codex thing.

Glad you guys are back, and you're completely correct about some things should be left to the imagination. Vader's back story was something that everybody wanted to see... until they did. The future war against Skynet should be glimpsed but not turned into a film. We already know what happens

Best quote of the video: 'Children's films are quite good when you're on morphine'

The scene with Ripley learning her daughter has died the turret gun scene and Ripley and Hicks swapping first names should have been kept.

Marvellous to see you guys back, and similar reactions to me on Terminator Zero (although I can't say I have Duncan's overall level of T-Fatigue just yet)! Also: I'm a video editor for a living (mostly doc and short form/ads) and it really warms my heart to hear someone waxing lyrical about how great the editing in T1 (sorry: The Terminator...) is. Fellow editors regard me as some sort of crazed fanboy when I say it's got one of my favourite edits, but as a film it manages to accomplish the very challenging balancing act of having a great overall pace and structure in the edit as well as really great minute-to-minute editing (not to mention sly visual flourishes and just a great tempo). That build-up in Tech-Noir in particcular is something I'd love to show students of the craft, and it still makes me feel tense to this day. It does also help that I'm a crazed fanboy though. Keep up the videos! And remember, more inane, terrible Terminator content being sent from the future of Hollywood to the present day to destroy humanities hopes of a decent industry, the more videos you're able to make! Hooray?

You guys going to see the 40th Anniversary screening of the first movie? Q&A with Gale Ann Hurd, Prince Charles Cinema in London, this Saturday. I can't wait.

I've always liked the first one the most. It's a horror film really, with a tech/sci-fi premise.

I know if things got financially tough again ie) Covid, recession, streaming services would be the first thing I’d be canceling. We have 3 massive cd wallets just full of my dvds and kids dvds that are going to be there ready to watch for free

1:49:00 brilliant 😂👏

As an avid Terminator fan with my own separate Terminator Lore channel, I have to say I WANT to be excited for Terminator Zero, but the teaser made me nervous. Sure, they used the black background with red lasers like the 1984 poster, but they used the darn Genisys font instead of the original font.

What’s the name of the podcast lads? Typed in val verde on ipodcasts only has 6 episodes not including this

My idea for a true sequel to aliens was that a Soviet expedition ship bypasses security radars on lv426 After hearing rumours of “aliens” they go down and extract an egg or two and then set their course for earth, all hell breaks lose and the crew barricades themselves in the bowels of the ship and get an sos message out, hicks now in command of a “quarantine” squad intercept the sos and dock with the Soviet ship, they need to course correct the Soviet ship away from earth because the self detonation on the Soviet ship has been destroyed by the aliens acid. You get the horror elements of the original alien and the colonial marine’s elements of aliens. I wasn’t sure how you would get Ripley back as a character tho.

Thinking about the timelines at this point just reminds me of that Basil Exposition quote; "I suggest you don't worry about this sort of thing and just enjoy yourself."

Please don’t make anyone terminator films 🤦‍♂️ PLEASE

Hi chaps, What a fantastically refreshing channel. I stumbled across it and I’m so glad I did! Subscribed. Cheers Wilsy

I create my own digital video-movies and I market them as 4-walling showings and it's where I rent out either a small theater OR a hotel room/ballroom -OR- an empty store space and set up my own 100 inch video screen, set up my own HD video projector and I offer a FREE item that is configured in my ticket prices and then I market my video-movies as EXTREMELY EXCLUSIVE. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

'TOYS' is a visual AND story MASTERPIECE. There really is nothing like it, such as - L.L. COOL J. is ROBIN WILLIAMS cousin and it's NOT EVEN EXPLAINED HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE!!! It's hilarious and that is just one reason why that movie is a MASTERPIECE because it JUST GOES and dares the audience to know and comprehend exactly what they are watching. I have the soundtrack with WENDY & LISA from PRINCE & THE REVOLUTION and also with music from SEAL. It is surrealist of the mind. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.

☠️ I'm a little intrigued by the direction choice i feel it could deliver something fresh. However I'm still highly optimistic about the execution overall. As a massive fan of the first 2, ive written a treatment script called FUTURE SURVIVAL. Event's that take place before and after T1 and T2:JD from 2025-2082. That shall focus on 2 corporate company's within the front line, with heavy emotional consequences moving forward. Yes with an older grizzled John Connor and a lot of my original I.P characters to. A template that shall bring that looming horrific horror element back in saving civilians from the last remaining death camps. Hopefully i get it off the ground with crowdfunding so yeah we'll see. But yeah TERMINATOR needs that dark sinister inbeded roots again, with interesting new character. Spins to i think overall, so perhaps TERMINATOR ZERO could offer that. ☠️

'It follows' reminded me of Terminator & Terminator 2... that unstoppable presents... mixed with that paranoia that sits in films like 'Fallen' & 'Body Snatchers' ..it could be anyone!

I'm cautiously optimistic about this film because it does have the "right" look etc of an Alien film, but there are some things that worry me, like having it set between Alien and Aliens as no one in Aliens know anything about what happened here. I would of liked to have seen maybe something in the far future where the company have tamed the beast so to say. Something similar to blomkamps vision maybe.

I've got quite a big collection of dvd and blurays and I'm glad I've got them because some have become rare or out of print but I must admit nowadays if I do want to buy and watch a film I do purchase them digitally because it's just so easy to have them a click away. I guess that is the future unfortunately good or bad.

Fuck it. Go full stop motion. How's that for stripping it back to its roots?

They could make future war film , it would just have to be a WAR film. Like We Were Soldiers, 1917, or Black Hawk Dawn.

There trying something similar with LOTR.

The scene in T1 with Kyle Reece in the car with Sarah Conor explaining to her what’s happening while the terminator hunts them down is the peak of the franchise to me. That’s everything I want to see in a terminator movie. Fear, horror, confusion and unbearable tension. T2 was very good but everything else was just a watered down imitation of something resembling terminator but not really understanding why the originals were great.

The problem with these guys, I find, is they aren't able to remove themselves from the viewing experience of being in their early 40's and holding a lot of reverence for these filmmakers and films from their childhoods, and put themselves in the shoes of someone born in, say, 2010 who has no previous history with the series besides through pop culture osmosis. Ofcourse if you grew up with Terminator and Alien and hold them up as seminal works in genre cinema, then any attempt to recapture that style in a new movie is going to look like going "back to the well" as Duncan keeps saying, but what about if those 80's films don't mean anything to you besides being dusty movies with dodgy effects and some ropey puppet/stop motion work? Suddenly the value proposition of a new film in the same universe is a lot more clear. Its similar to how Richard and Duncan would've grown up loving Indiana Jones, despite not having much regard for the adventure serials they were based on, or loving Gladiator despite having no prior awareness of the rich film history of swords and sandles movies. If you were in your 40's and 50's in 2000 when Gladiator came out you probably thought it was a pale imitation of films you watched growing up in the 50's, but Duncan and Richard weren't, they were in their teens in the year 2000 so they hold Gladiator as a modern classic. It seems people turning middle aged and becoming hostile about new interpretations of things is just nature taking its course.

Go away already Terminator....Such a mess the franchise is by now!

Didn't even know there was a new 'Terminator' thing, much less a trailer out there. I mean... at least it's not live action this time... 🤷‍♂ I dunno, maybe the whole thing needs to be put to bed, like Yoda in 'ROTJ'.

When the boys come together, I pull it together.

Interesting fact shortly after T2 Judgement Day finished filming their we,re plans forra Terminator animated cartoon series on CITV on either Wednesday or Thursday. But they sadly scrapped it before we even got to see the very1st episode all of the information about this is on Wikipedia

I,m impressed by the still screenshots that i,ve seen from it so far. And hopefully we,ll getta Future War animated TV series sequel

I’ve always been interested in Skynet’s creation and the moment it becomes self aware and attacks humanity and the fallout. I think a film or TV show could be made about that without needing to see yet another Arnold travel back in time. And how do you go from global nuclear annihilation to Skynet creating factories to crank out Terminators? It could start as a period piece set in 1997 (90’s nostalgia is sure to hit soon) and we could follow a group of individuals - a family, one or two employees at Cyberdyne etc… and follow their lives leading up to judgement day and beyond. If the show is set in a contemporary setting we could see Cyberdyne begin as an A.I on everyone’s phone and its infiltration into every computer system on the planet that is networked.

Great to see you guys back again. Enjoyed your discussion on physical media

You guys are so English 😂

My ideal set up for a new Terminator film would be a 10 Cloverfield Lane situation, where I don’t realise I’m watching a Terminator film until at least half way through. Obviously would never happen with such a big franchise, but a fanboy can dream.

Kind of sad that the most enjoyable thing the Terminator franchise has spawned since 1991 is the Christian Bale rant.

I'm James Cameron I saw the trailer and I start to see things I recognise

I think if they ever did a Terminator Future War movie it would just have to be a simple war story set in that environment with new, engaging characters for us to follow, and John Connor kept more in the background as a name we hear referenced a few times and that's it. I'm thinking something like the film 1917 except set in the post apocalyptic future rather than the First World War.

F this show

Not too long ago I had this thought about what could be an interesting idea for a Terminator film and I had this idea of a Terminator film set in the Wild West where the Terminator is sent back to the wrong time due to a malfunction and ends up becoming the sheriff of a town. Not sure if it's worthy of a film but it's a nice change of story telling for the Terminator films.

I can't express much I guess I can see they are trying to do something different other than that for me meh. I think The best of the franchise is the original and least Dark Fate.

One of the few things that I'm actually looking forward to. It may be a load of shite but at least it's slightly interesting. So glad to have you fellas back! ❤

Weekly vids? We’re not worthy.

Terminator: No Sugar

I'm looking forward to the scene where the Terminators turn up in 'Kes'...

👍
