Re watched Terminator 1. One of the best movies of all time made on a shoestring budget. Cost $1M, looks like it cost $20M, made $100M (and a billion more later).

The Terminator itself is like a serpent. Arnold disappears completely. The Tech Noir scene in particular might be one of the best scenes in movie history. Look at how his head is framed like Frankenstein's Monster in that shot. Almost every second of the Tech Noir scene does some sort of visual storytelling like that.

It's absurd how good this scene is and how much it tells a first-time viewer. It's comparable to the Dog Scene from The Thing in terms of being a scene where the world as we know it is completely shattered in the span of a minute. It's a through the looking glass moment where the illusion of safety falls away. A little later is the police station scene, which is where any remaining "yeah but he can be stopped right?" gets crushed.

The deleted scenes are powerful. We find out that Lt Traxler was the one person who believed Reese, and he tells them how to escape the station (and also tells Reese to protect Sarah) while he lay dying. We also see Reese breaking down in the woods because he's never seen a green forest before. I get why they cut these scenes, they're pretty goddamn sad.

10/10 movie, obviously. After all the modern garbage I watched the past month, this was just unbelievably good.

Huh, I didn't know about the deleted scenes, but they sound great. Was it from a bonus feature on a Blu-ray or is there an assembly cut available?

7/10, one of the more clever horror movies I have seen in recent years. Main character isn't a drooling idiot which is nice, however too much of it is too dark and while it is in service of the story it's getting annoying only being able to 10% of the screen for long stretches. Too many movies are doing this and it's annoying. Also, I am tired of so many movies going, "dialogue" and then "SOUND EFFECTS" come along. Fucking jackasses need to reevaluate their audio mixing and no I am not buying a sound system for my tv, fuck off.

I said fuck off!

Stupid economy.

Old classic to me. We need to get bigger guns. Big fucking guns!

Rutger Hauer did so much garbage to fuel his cocaine habit and I love him for it. He's was the best part of any straight to home video production.
