finally got around to seeing this, wasn't nearly as bad as you're all making it out to be (still some pretty stupid bits and piececs, but I guess it filled my expectations, lasers or no)

I like how they wrote in connor's scar from the future war scene in T2

Watched this last night, man it was atrocious. There's just stupid shit everywhere in the movie, like skynet capturing Kyle Reese, spotting him in the crowd, then keeping him in a cage? Why exactly would it do that? Why not just kill him? Also, how the fuck does skynet know that Kyle Reese is John's father? UGH...

it's pretty obvious that skynet was using reese as bait to get connor in there (with marcusbot 2000 allowing him in), since killing him wouldn't make a god damn lick of difference in that timeline; had it killed reese off marcusbot would have probably run into a log of it and diverted john away and the whole charade would have been for naught (note that the entire point of that act was to get john alone, and what better way than to set up a commando-style infiltration into robot headquarters)

as for knowing reese is connor's father, they weren't exactly secretive of it later on and since skynet is evidently a gigantic information database alongside being a learning and living defense network, it could have easily found any documentation to the fact (like say, police records from terminator 1 saying that sarah and kyle were brought in together, or patient records from the terminator 2 nuthouse sarah was in)

pretty awesome how things can start to make sense if you fill in the blanks with reasonable assumptions, huh

Seems the owners to the Terminator rights (and the producers of Salvation) are now bankrupt and will possibly be selling the rights to another studio.

Hmm...so the possibility now exists that McG won't be making any more Terminator movies, and that perhaps the franchine itself could be rebooted so as to not be retarded, but only if the new rights owners/producers aren't complete fucktards (meaning they know to ignore any movie made after T2).

Do I hear a Terminator: The Animated Series?

Anything but another Terminator: Retardation

The franchise needs some salvation!

WEDNESDAY PM UPDATE: I hear Lionsgate's bid was $15 million, plus a gross corridor.
WEDNESDAY AM: So what's a stalking horse bid? An initial bid on a bankrupt company's assets from an interested buyer chosen by the bankrupt company. This allows the distressed firm to avoid receiving lowball bids on its assets. That said, I hear Lionsgate will be named the stalking horse bidder in the bankruptcy sale of the Terminator franchise. Sources tell me it wasn't a competitive auction. (Sorry, Joss Whedon, your $10,000 offer for the rights didn't cut it.)
When last we left the tug of war over the future of The Terminator franchise, Halcyon Holding Group announced it was contemplating a sale of the rights after filing for Chapter 11 protection last August as a result of a dispute with Pacificor, a Santa Barbara-based hedge fund that lent Halcyon the sum to buy the Terminator rights in the first place. All the big studios, with Sony leading the way as well as Summit Entertainment and Media Rights Capital, were interested in bidding at a franchise auction for new Terminator films, TV program and other spin-offs. (Because we all know The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox did so well, right?)
The sale was being conducted by FTI Capital Advisors for Halcyon which bought the Terminator rights 2 years ago for $25M from Mario Kassar. I think this character/concept is played out. But given the regularity with which Hollywood is now rebooting franchises (Spider-Man is the latest), it pays to remember that even the fanboy dud Terminator 4: Salvation still made $380M worldwide.

Basically, the owners of the Terminator rights is bankrupt. So, they decided to auction it off, but to avoid lowball bidding, they named a prospective client and Lionsgate may be the winner.
