Matt was an underrated character in The Terminator.

[Bodhy]

Played by the great Rick Rossivich. He had just had sex and was post-nut. Was def feeling sleepy and lethargic, and not only gets ambushed by the Terminator, also manages to put up a majorly decent fight against him (he gets thrown through a window and still gets back up), with only a lampshade for a weapon.


RIP Matt.

T1 is the GOAT

I always loved the horror feel of it. It is so 80s aesthetic - smoked up ****ty syntwave clubs, dirty dark streets, full of life but isolated at the same time.

It definitely has a horror element to it. I wouldn't even mind classifying as sci-fi horror the way Event Horizon is.


When you think about it, being pursued by a Terminator is just horrifying, depressing and soul-crushing. Reece's monologue captures it so well. It's not actually a human so you can't bargain with it, or reason with it, or threaten it, pay it off, share an experience, or have it understand value.


Its entire rationale for its existence is to kill you. And it doesn't need to eat, sleep, shower, brush its teeth, go to work, earn money, look after a family, run errands, pay bills, clean the house. It does nothing but try to kill you, and it lives longer because of its 120 year battery cell.

I mean, it's not like you shower, brush your teeth, go to work, look after family, run errands, pay bills either...

And we all know you clean your house either.

Yeah Terminator 1 had some cool horror themes to it. If you want a real horror film with Schwarzenegger you check out Kindergarten Cop. Arnold stuck in "the single mother capitol of the world"

Hamilton fell off fast, she was semi cute in T1, but man did she take a turn for the worse. She got fit but it was not a good look for her IMO.

It would be nice if we didn't have so many threads devolving into some Real Housewives of the Misc Fa­ggotry. Lame Mean Girls drama because people had a beef 3 years ago over some stupid bull****.

80's is GOAT for cinemetography. Blue lighting, smokiness, practical effects, grunginess, synth. I fkn love everything 80's. Characters were usually over the top but in a memorable way. It was just a fun decade for movies.

You should check out Night of the Comet. It's quite campy but very entertaining and spews up the 80s aesthetic.

Hah, I once bought that by mistake, thinking I was getting a deal on Night of the Creeps (best movie of all time, btw) but returned it without watching. Guess I should have accepted my fate.

I wish for once the girl I had just had slept with got up and got us some food from the fridge. They just lay there acting completely useless for the next hour.
