A Brief Glance at the Cast of Terminator: Genesis

I admit I'm not looking forward to this movie. Rebooting the Terminator franchise is not what is needed to help the franchise out. A T5 that followed Terminator Salvation could have worked out the kinks in that movie.

However, I write for a Terminator fansite and so I haven't been able to push this as far from my mind until it comes to theaters as I wished.

Today I will talk about a few of the cast members that I'm familiar with. I hope all of those mentioned in this post do good performances even if they don't have that good of material to work with.

Matt Smith, most notable for playing the 11th Doctor on the BBC show Doctor Who, will be in Terminator: Genesis in a yet unnamed role. The 11th Doctor is my second favorite Doctor on Doctor Who, first being Christopher Eccleston's 9th Doctor, and I am excited to see him in a role that doesn't have anything to do with his former show. Well...except for the sci-fi and time travel parts that make up the Terminator Universe.

Emilia Clarke, whom I first saw as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, will be the new Sarah Connor. This is probably the casting choice I'm most pleased with. In Game of Thrones Clarke is able to evolve from an innocent woman into a deadly queen. That's the kind of character development Sarah Connor needs. In T1 Sarah is thrown into a whole new world and in T2 she becomes very much a part of something that used to be strange to her.

Jai Courtney, who was recently in A Good Day to Die Hard and Divergent, will be the new Kyle Reese. Does he look like Michael Biehn? It doesn't matter as Terminator: Genesis is a reboot of the franchise. In A Good Day to Die Hard his mission was to protect a man and he was a good guy. This screams Kyle Reese protecting Sarah Connor. Though the outcomes of both situations are very different. In Divergent he was a bad guy so I was unsure of what to think of him being the new Kyle Reese until I saw the latest Die Hard movie.

And the final cast member I will talk about needs no introduction as his name, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is enough. I have to say him being in the movie is the casting choice I like the least. It just feels too much of a fanservice push than anything else. It's like people think if there's no Arnold in a Terminator movie then no one will go see it. Hell, in Terminator Salvation the Arnold CGI crap was made so there would technically be Arnold in it.

Sayings Sundays (July 20, 2014)

I have gotten into a new series that airs on HBO. This series didn't start revving up until the third episode which starred Christopher Eccleston in the main role of the episode. My Whovian readers should recognize him from his role as the 9th Doctor on Doctor Who.

The whole series, to me at least, focuses on how people react to an insane situation and so the characters come first. In the Pilot episode people were randomly taken away because...well, we don't know that right now. And, really, I'd be happy never knowing. I'd love it if it was just a random event and there was no explanation.

Eccleston's character, Matt Jamison, is looking up information about everyone who was taken. He is trying to show others that the people taken weren't all good people. So I chose a quote relating to that today. In it Matt explains why he is doing what he's doing even though people sometimes get physically violent to him because of it.

I've listened to "Taken by the Sea" numerous times and have come to the conclusion that it's my anthem for Marco/Tobias (non-canon ship from the Animorphs series by K.A.Applegate). I don't know if there's any ship I've had that I've come to the conclusion of their theme so easily.

I see this song as Post-War and being sung by Tobias. He's at the point where he's afraid to love again and yet he finds himself growing more in love with Marco with each passing moment. Those who have been following this blog know that I have a headcanon of him and Marco not seeing each other for awhile because of this fear (from both boys).

I would have had both characters in this graphic, but I don't have the ability to take things from two pictures and put them together at the moment.

The Wishing Shrub Fiasco

More Info HERE

When Peka-Boo first started I was excited for the Wishing Shrub. It seemed like a nice and kind idea. I decided to try and at least make my wishes reasonable as I knew other Subeta users would be the ones to grant them. In other words: I knew that it wasn't going to be an automated system that randomly decided to grant or not grant your wish.

True my first item wished might've been 3mil but that's nothing compared to what other people have been wishing for for the most part.

It's past the time of thinking that some users don't realize that actual people are granting wishes and so you can see the vast greed of people. A lot of people seem to think they deserve unbuyables or items costing past 40mil sP.

Why do they think this?

It could possibly be that they think they deserve extremely expensive items because they're special or some bullshit.

To try and combat people being greedy bastards and making it nearly impossible for others to grant wishes: the staff has made an achievement for getting five of your wishes granted as well as being able to revoke your wish if it hasn't been granted in two hours.

Of course the people that are most likely to revoke their wishes after two hours are probably also the same ones that aren't likely to make unreasonable requests.

I have gotten what I really wanted from the shrub (a 250 Credit Gift Card to advertise something on my blog, I'll be putting the billboard out after Peka-Boo) and will ask for cheap wishes to help the other wish granters out. I am also going to be looking for some of the cheaper wishes to grant.

I want to help people out, but I also don't want to go broke in doing so.
