Terminator Salvation Is Making Me Salivate
The new Terminator Salvation trailer got released last night, and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look pretty exciting. This one focuses on Marcus Wright the human Terminator, which I was initially ready to dismiss as a lame BSG/disguised Cylon rip-off. But BSG never had a Cylon staring down into his/her own exposed metallic guts. So is it just me? Am I the only one excirted because my expectations for a McG-directed Terminator were so abyssmally low? Or do you all also think it’s starting to look pretty good?
