I’m looking forward to Terminator: Salvation. For one, I like Apocalyptic nightmares. For two, they cast Christian Bale as John Connor, thereby embracing the first rule of the modern action movie which is “cast Christian Bale in it.” But that doesn’t mean I don’t have my reservations. Namely, it’s being directed by McG. Did you know that’s an adult? An adult picked that name. He probably just switched to DIET Mountain Dew because of his slowing metabolism, and thinks that taking out all but one of your earrings is how you age gracefully. Also of concern, earlier this fall it was made clear that James Cameron has not “given his blessing” to this new chapter in the franchise. Just kidding. That is not of any concern to anyone. Who cares about James Cameron? Some of us have managed, somehow, to get over the fact that he made Titanic 1,000 years ago.
Still, I don’t know what to think about this new “motion poster” for the movie. NOTE: automatic audio after the jump. Headphones up.
It is obviously pretty quote unqoute “siiiiiick.” But methinks the lady doth protest too much. (The lady = McG.)

McG was OK when he did things that merited a dumb name, aka music videos. But now, seriously, grow up.
I feel like McG was probably responsible for a lot of those terrible music videos in the 90′s that featured people in black skinsuits lined with neon tubes dancing under blacklights. This may also explain why that was so prominent in that latest Kanye video.
Weird… McG directed both Charlie’s Angels movies (I knew about that) then he directed We Are Marshall, the decent Disney sports movie with Matthews Fox and McConaughey, and the guy who owned the brothel in Deadwood… Those movies couldn’t have been more different… Christian Bale rocks. He’ll be the best John Connor yet.
im pumped up for bale too bro. i think i missed the boat on why edward furlong doesnt do them anymore. he doesnt seem to be too busy with anything else other than screwing up. and i think it would be a good turn to give john connor a drugged out edge
