Looks gooooooood!

Terminator: Salvation

May is creeping closer and closer and we all know what happens in May, apart from birds nesting etc., the Future Starts! With the start of a whole new Terminator trilogy! Starring Christian Bale, the flic is set in the none too distant, but eerily post apocalyptic future. The only thing standing between mandkind and total annihilation by big scary robots is, once again, poor John Connor.

I must say that, when I watch Terminator:SCC I often get the same feeling I got when watching Frodo and Sam plodding through endless mountains on The Two Towers: poor lambs, they still have the entire Return of the king to go before they get to *&^%$ Mordor!

Young John is already having such a hard time of it when he should be chasing girls and hating his mum like a proper teen. As if being a teenager isn’t bad enough, he has to fight killer robots and figure out the future from his basement wall. And take orders from his mum, which must sting just a little.

Anyway, in Salvation he’s all grown up and Christian Bale, which must be good news. I always hope Kate Winslet will play me in the movie, John must be well chuffed that the Dark Knight himself is taking on the role! On second thoughts, I’d like him to play me as well.

Fans have been so thrilled about Bale signing on and the glimpses of trailers that producers decided not to wait til next summer to see how well Salvation will do: they already signed Bale on to do all three! Director McG is rumored to stick around for all three as well.

Terminator 2 or rather 4, (this is going to be one of those confusing series like Star Wars, where part 2 is actually part 5. I hate it when that happens!) is scheduled for summer 2011. I’ll just go and set my popcorn timer.

Brian AUstin Green & Megan Fox

Terminator SCC hottie Brian Austin Green has to do without girlfriend Megan Fox these days as she’s shooting Terminator 2. Things got kinda scary for Megan when she had to run towards a line of menacing decepticons shooting at her.

“It makes you run fast because you are genuinely terrified,” Fox says, in a recent interview. “And you still feel blanks. With that many guns going off, you don’t really know.”

Colleague and on-screen boyfriend Shia Lebeouf,  explains that although  they  use blanks it’s still scary: “Not that we don’t trust (special effects coordinator James D.) Schwalm and the boys,” he said. “But even an eyelash flying at you at 700 miles an hour will cut you. You’re running past them, and your clearance is only about 10 feet. These dudes are moving, and if one trips or falls and we run into the muzzle of a blank, that could blow your chest open or burn you.”

Let’s hope nothing happens to mess up Fox’s hot bod, otherwise
they’ll have to deal with Terminator slayer Derek!

After all the drama of the Madonna-Ritchie divorce, I thought it’d be nice to focus on the Best Couples of 2008! Here’s to Scarlett& Ryan, Leighton& Sebastian, Nicole&Keith and many more!

Scarlett & Ryan

Scarlett & hubby Ryan Reynolds

Sexy Scarlett Johansson (23) married fellow actor Ryan Reynolds (31) in an intimate ceremony outside Vancouver this September. “I believe in finding a soul mate,” Scarlett said in an interview. “I’ve always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It’d be too awful.” That Ryan is one very lucky guy!

Leighton Meester & Stan Sebastian

The entire Gossip Girl cast.

First Blake Lively hooked up with Penn Badgely, then Leighton Meester got together with Sebastian Stan and now Taylor Momsen has been seen playing toncil hockey with Chace Crawford! What’s with this show? Personally, I liked Ed Westwick and Drew Barrymore best. Unfortunately that appears to have been a mere one night stand.

Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green

Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green
Aren’t they the cutest? The world’s sexiest lass hooked up with the tough Terminator slayer and the web just can’t get enough of these two! The power couple got engaged in November.

Nicole Kidman & Keith

Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban
Their marriage got off to a rocky start when Keith had to check himself into rehab mere months after Í do’. Cynics assumed they would never make it, but the star couple have wheathered the storm together and that’s what marriage is all about! They are also the proud parents of baby Sunday Rose.

Michelle & Barack Obama
Michelle and Barack may not be the most flashy couple but they sure make good candidates for celeb couple of the year 2008! Not only do they look like the perfect couple, together they won the 2008 elections: the first black couple in the White House!
Way to go!

Sarkozy & Bruni

French president Nicholas Sarkozy & Carla Bruni
More political lovebirds!
It sounds like the tagline of a movie: after Whirlwind romance the French president marries the model turned songstress and they live happily ever after, in spite of naked pics of her turning up. Carla even recorded an album with a song about having sex with her new husband. Somehow, she’s managed to turn the French president into something of a rockstar himself. Quite a feat, so:Go Carla!

Reese & Jake

Reese Witherspoone & Jake Gyllenhaal

Reese and Jake tried to keep their relationship a secret for quite a while, but now rumors of an engagement are rife. Then again, if two Hollywood stars share a cup of coffee twice there’s usually rumors flying about an engagement or a pregnancy, so who knows. They seem happy though! Last November they tried to have a romantic dinner, but when they tried to leave out the back door, droves of paperazzi were waiting for them. Luckily, the chef came to their rescue, egging te paperazzi and yelling at them to leave the couple alone.

Riley

The plot thickens! And thickens, and thickens….

Sooooo, Jesse’s been sent back from the future to kill Cameron?! From a future that’s different than the one Derek’s been sent back from? So, maybe, in Derek’s future, there’s no need to kill Cameron in the past? Hmm. My head’s starting to hurt….

Soooo, Stupid Boring Riley is actually a spy? In cohoots with Annoying Jesse, she of the ridiculous accent? (where the hell is she supposed to be from? Yeah, I know, the Future. Maybe in her future everybody talks that) Riley went up a coupla notches in my estimation! Maybe not as dull as she looks. Though she ruined it by crying and being, well, boring. When Derek pulled his gun on Jesse I really hoped he’d just pull the trigger already. Derek to Jesse: “I love you. But don’t push it.” Though now Cameron can slowly rip her head off, which might be even better…..

Cameron: “Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point. It’s a Go proverb, it means the same rules don’t always apply.”
Sarah: “It’s always the same rules and they always apply.”

Sarah: “They’ll find their money, they’ll get their miracle.”
Cameron “How do you know?”
Sarah: “Because it’s written in blood on my basement wall.” (nice!)

I love scary redhead Weaver’s outfits.

Cromartie. Not that dead?

Whoever thought life would be a breeze for the Connors now that Cromartie is gone has another thing coming!

Jesse seems to be loosing it when she kidnaps and roughs up an old geezer she meets in the mall, claiming he’s been sent from the future. John and Cameron take a trip back to Mexico to make sure Cromartie stays dead. Sarah falls ill and revisits the psychologist to talk about her, rather terrifying, nightmares.

Creepy dreams are kinda easy to put into a series, but somehow Cameron and Sarah in pink housewifey dresses gave me the heebie jeebies. 

I can see what Derek likes about Jesse. “I need you NOW. Bring a gun!” That’d be a turn on for any guy, right? Good to see Richard Schiff. So weird that Derek and Jesse don’t share the same future!!! That’d be so weird. 

Cameron is getting more and more interesting every ep, and she really seems to want to get together with John. Hmmm. Lot’s of interesting stuff going on!

I so hope they don’t cancel this show!!!

Lena Heady as Sarah Connor

John is fed up being chased and tries to escape and be a kid for a day, taking Riley with him to Mexico. Bad idea, since he used to live there with his mom and his face is still known. Cromartie tracks down Sarah, Derek, Cameron and agent Ellison come to the rescue.

So, you’re sixteen years old, you’ve taken your girlfriend to Mexico, got her the honeymoon suite no less and just when you’re about to get it on Bam! a deathwrecking homicidal robot shows up. I hate it when that happens.

Cromartie finally bites the dust in a John Woo-esk shoot out in a church: bit much, but fun.

I also like agent Ellison. He’s lost everything, but he’s still willing to put his life on the line to save someone else’s future. I was kinda hoping Riley would be collateral damage, an accidental bullit to the head, maybe? But no such luck. I didn’t think the different points of view worked, because they didn’t see it through to the end. Now it was just a gimmick, it didn’t really add any layers or tension to the story. Maybe Sarah can lighten up on the guy now? Does she have to be quite that gloomy all the time? Will that change now Cromartie is gone? Will she have to go out and find a job, join a gym, bake? Guess not, there’ll be another, bad-asser, killing machine sent down from the future any day now.

I thought Sarah’s meltdown was one of the most convincing things I’ve seen on SCC, sometimes I forget Lena Heady is a good actress. Sooooo, Cameron and John? What would it be like to have sex with a robot? Is it even possible? Does she have the ’stuff’? I think John’s dying to find out….

Summer Glau aka Cameron

The Connors get robbed, all their cash, credit cards and false id’s are gone. Coincidence or foul play? They don’t know. Meanwhile, Derek is off his game because he’s getting ‘reacquainted’ with Jesse, who seems to have a secret or two of her own.

I was thinking: what if you were a regular burglar, trying to make a buck, and you accidentally hit the Connors house? That’d be bad… Well, stay in school boys, crime doesn’t pay!
Riley is getting on my nerves, hope she gets chewed up by a rampaging robot soon….

I LOVE Summer Glau/Cameron! I feel sorry every time a bad guy crosses her path. The way she chased that dentist and ripped him from his car! I love that stuff! I wish I was a terminator, must be so cool….

Aaah, the sins of our youth
Before Brian Austin Green went all marine and cool and bulky he was David Silver, bless him, and David wanted to be Vanilla Ice…..

I still think he’s hot in Sarah Connor Chronicles but if those menacing robots from the future ever find out about his past they’ll simply wet themselves laughing!

Cast of Terminator

Why is a math book so sad?

Quite a mouth full, but to sum it up: The episode where they all go in therapy! Very funny, bunch of robots in therapy. And some nice girl on girl action of the violent kind. Nice!

The creepy redhead’s not getting any cuter (what is with that eyeliner? Makes her look like a freak. Then again…) and the other robot wasn’t exactly a looker. Shame.

So here’s the sidereel link

(and the answer is: because it has so many problems
