How To Make McG Look Like He Knows What He Is Doing

thumbnail icon: How To Make McG Look Like He Knows What He Is Doing

McG is really bad at his job as a movie director, and he should be fired (from Hollywood). Also, he has a small penis. These are just FACTS. America was kind enough to give him another chance last weekend with Terminator: Salvation, but he took that chance and he put it into his butt and he farted that chance into our faces. That's gross. I'm sorry. Wait, why am I sorry? MCG IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE SORRY.

Nevertheless, MTV Movies Blog has somehow found a way to legitimize McG and make him look like a professional director who knows what he is doing and should be given millions of dollars for his visions. They solicited questions from fans regarding Terminator: Salvation, and one question in particular made McG look like the Oracle from The Matrix (made him look like a black housefrau? What? There is no spoon). Dude's a genius, it turns out:

Q: How come lava melted a T-800 in "T2," but it doesn't in "Salvation"? - Germain Lussier

McG: That's not lava. There are different characteristics of molten steels, and that was an earlier steel process after it had been separated from the coke. We went over this with a metallurgist, discussing which metals burn at which degrees. And also, if it had stayed on [the T-800], perhaps it would've melted him, but it was frozen quickly enough by the [liquid nitrogen]. Plus, we make the transition from the molten metal to the cooling property so quickly -- as a function of the T-800 being on [John] Connor -- that it wouldn't have had time to melt the existing titanium exoskeleton in time.

There you go. As long as you refer to molten steel as lava, McG wins.

Sure, the rest of his explanation makes absolutely no sense, McG didn't consult any fucking metallurgists, and also who cares, that was the least of the movie's problems, but sure. McG is definitely right that there was no lava in Terminator: Salvation. ACADEMY AWARD FOR KNOWING WHAT LAVA IS. (Thanks for the tip, Bryan.)

How Terminator Salvation should have ended (spoilers):

Ron Howard Jr: Oh fuck. Bale is going to die cause a giant metal rod pieced through his heart
Machine Guy who turned out to be the pivotal character and not Bale (WTF? I didn't pay for this shit: Well, I'll just give him my heart
Ron Howard Jr.: Well that's a swell idea!

1 hour later

Ron Howard Jr: His body rejected your heart.
Machine Guy: BALETASTIC!!!

it was so great that the one hot guy was the main character and not christian bale because if i had to deal with bale's self-righteous batman bullshit acting for more time than i did in the film, i would have been very upset. Chekov was also a redeeming character. Overall the film make no sense and kind of sucked but goddamn whoever did the sound editing should win an award.
