GWC Podcast #119

If you haven’t checked out T3 yet, go for it. We did and had a great time! Highlights: we notice the new “Terminatrix’s” fortuitous arrival in a clothing store, comment on the Terminators’ excellent vehicle choices, enjoy seeing The T-101’s great, great, great, great, great grandtank (Johnny T1), note the machines’ excellent artificial imitation of our own destructive nature, are blown away by Sarah Connor’s incredible preparedness, marvel at the elder Brewster’s world-destroying bastardness, share some Worf-loving Trek talk, and wait patiently for a last-season musical episode of Galactica (or a sorry-ass clip show).

First post. Aha!!

Looking forward to the Frak Party tonight.

this will be dubbed the Nog’s Junk episode

Ok, this is the thing with T3. It’s like Chuck and Audra said, it’s a fun movie, lots of good action. But the most important thing in T2 was that in the end, we stopped Judgment Day. No Fate But What We Make. T3 gives the impression that all of our actions are ultimately meaningless, which I think undermines the whole thing. I can’t really get past that and enjoy the movie.


Only somewhat noticeable here…


But he really stands at attention for the captain.

I’m proud of Chuck for being secure enough in his masculinity that he’s able to recognize another man’s “boy band” cuteness

Tobias: “Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?”

It’s like a metaphor for the upcoming elections.

That’s why I never wear sweatpants.

I listened to this at work and thought of three things I wanted to comment on.

I forgot all three :frowning:

(I like boobs)

Now there is coffee everywhere. I’m still trying to stop myself from laughing. I can’t even type.

It’s logical to like boobs

I got some really good trivia from IMDB about this movie…

[i]The gas station where The Terminator stops for refueling is the same gas station seen in all three Terminator movies. In the first movie it was shown at the end where a pregnant Sarah stops before driving to the Mojave Desert. In the second film it’s also the same place used where Sarah camps in for the night after she escapes from the hospital.

Stan Winston and his team constructed flawless, life-size, fully-operational robotic replicas of Arnold Schwarzenegger and co-star Kristanna Loken because certain sequences involving fire and explosions were too dangerous for them to perform.

In the third act, The Terminator reboots himself, to rid his system from corruption caused by the T-X. As he does, we can see, in his first-person “Terminator Vision”, many items scroll by. These include: “Remote Access”, “Sound”, “Memory”, “Software Update”, “QuickTime Player”, “Control Strip”, “Date and Time”, “Multiple Users”, “Keychain Access”, “Location Manager”, “Energy Saver”, “Add Application Program”, and also “MP3.com”. All of these items (with the exception of “MP3.com”) are easily recognized components of Apple Macintosh operating systems, most likely Mac OS 9. (See also trivia for The Terminator (1984), in which “Terminator Vision” incorporated assembly code for the Motorola 6502 microprocessor, the CPU for the then-current Apple II computer.)

When the T-X’s weapon is damaged, her on screen display chooses a new weapon. The display shows the name of the weapon and a description, but if you look closely the description for all of the weapons simply states: “Important information about this weapon is being displayed here”.

T-X’s breast inflation scene took several takes because the air bladders underneath Kristanna Loken’s bra made by the effects team didn’t work properly. Sometimes one of the bladders popped or one would fizzle out.

Kristanna Loken put on 15 pounds of muscle to fit her role of the T-X. She also took a mime class to prepare for her part. Because her character has so few lines, she had to learn to communicate through facial expressions and body gestures.[/i]

Awww dude, I knew I recognized that bad boy!! Should have picked up on that. Perhaps the terminators should hang out at that gas station instead of trying to follow them… stupid machines

I guess when talking to Ferengis it best to just keep your eyes on the lobes…

Wow. In all my years of loyal DS9 watching, I never once noticed that. Not once.

Now I have.

P.S. I believe this screencap is from the episode titled “The Ascent”. Appropriate, I guess.

I can’t believe I missed Talk Like a Pirate Day–again!!

Silicon (Chemical element Si) and Silicone (Boobs), not the same thing.

Although the definition of metal vs. non-metal turns out fuzzier than I thought it’d be, Silicon(Si) would generally be considered a metal, or more specifically, a metalloid. Silicone is a polymer (like plastic) that just happened to have Silicon as one of its many ingredients.

Yeah I never noticed it either. And now I wish I could take it back! Take it back!!!

Wtf you star trek perverts

And I haven’t been carded since I was like…15. Except for Pineapple Express but they were carding every single person at the midnight release
