The only terminator movies worth watching were made before she was born.

There are only two terminator movies worth watching.

Luckily we have this nifty technology that allows you to watch movies that came out years ago. It's called "time travel".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

The best part about time travel is that if it's ever invented then it already has been.

It's also the worst part, every time I think I should invent time travel, I imagine people saying "you invented what? It was always around". No reason to even try.

Many versions of fictional time travel that allow backwards travel suggest that the travel cannot happen further back than the initial use of the time machine.

Perhaps my favorite example of this (in terms of narrative, if not logic) is a time machine that is turned on, only to immediately receive a note saying "turn it off RIGHT NOW."

The worst part about it always having been is the astronaut shooting you in the head.

That's actually what Terminator is going to be about. There was a recent interview with the director, James Cameron, where he mentioned something about time travel. He didn't want to spoil it before it releases though.

I'm excited to see it in theaters when it comes out!

Ever tried to get your kids to watch movies from a few decades ago? They thought star wars was a slog.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

They were not wrong

Imagine how cool would be if there was a way to see movies after they were released on cinemas.
