The Apocalypse Sounds Like An Asshole
New trailer for Terminator: Salvation, you guys:
This movie already looked great, and now it looks more great. I hope that it makes so much money that McG can finally buy himself an adult's name with an adult amount of letters. "Brian," for example. Or "Mike."
But, I do have one issue, not that it's unique to this movie at all, but, um, is the Apocalypse really going to sound like that? When human existence has become an endless string of unrelenting suffering strewn across the hard-scrabble wastes of a Godless nightmare, are we really going to want to listen to a UFC mixtape? No. When we are faced with an unconscionable animal existence of desperate survival, we're going to want to listen to something that reminds us of a gentler, non-cannibalistic time. I think the Apocalypse will sound like Nick Drake. I think the Apocalypse will sound like The Carpenters.
Of course, I have already made it known that when I am wandering down The Road with my son to carry the fire to the coast, I will murder my fellow man for a boombox, six DD batteries, and a cassingle of "Life Is a Highway," because LAUGHTER IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP FROM CRYING!

did you notice shane hurlbut's shadow during the shot of christian bale kissing bryce howard? what a douchebag...
Score = 1
its a nin song "the day the whole world went away" appropriate.
Score = 3
When that exploding city turned into a terminator face my world filled with ugh (and apparently "the day the whole world went away" by nin). What a horrible morning!
Score = -1
dude's a replicant, or wait... what?
Score = 2
Interesting that the future has only two kinds of weather: barren desert, or torrential downpour. That's surprising, is what I'm saying
Score = 9
Geez, I hope there aren't any naked boobs in this movie or I'll have to see it with my mom.
Score = 5
To be fair to the song, this is a pretty douched-up nu-metal mix. The original is not the fist pumping power anthem they’re using here.
Score = 0
What's wrong with fist-pumping power anthems? Are you a sissy boy who can't, "have fun", as they say?
Score = 2
I'm going to see this and pretend T3 never happened. Because I didn't see T3. Because it shouldn't have happened. Terminator has always been about John and Sarah Connor, not Arnold Schwarzenegger. (It wasn't even the SAME Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it had a sexy female robot that was basically just Girl Wolverine from Xmen 2. Seriously, fuck that last Terminator movie)
Score = 7
I'm glad Chrissy B brought the BatCycle along with him to the future. I knew that thing was ahead of it's time.
Score = 3
I thought GY!BE was already established as THE apocalyptic music? If it's all nu-metal in the future it might as well end now thank G-Dub.
Score = 1
UFC mixtape? Oops, you don't know what you're talking about. Bad comparison! In the future, use better comparisons. Terminator Salvation is a pretty ridiculous thing though.
Score = -6
T2 had GnR so it figures
Score = 1
took alot from that first Watchmen trailer, no?
Score = 1
I have to say, this movie looks SO GOOD.
Score = 1
P.S. Yea, I want to see boobs. There better be boobs on every robot in this movie. I also expect a mid battle sex scene for good measure.
Score = 2
Yikes! Why are they still making Terminator movies? Lame! McG isn't a name! Are you a 14 year old boy?
Score = -3
