    It's crazy and pretty awesome how most sci-fi movies from the 80s take place in the year 2019

    • @SB-Out51d3R-
      @SB-Out51d3R- 4 роки тому +6

      It's likely because behind the year 2000,2020 was the next most-likely candidate for "end times". If you look-back at these kinds of movies,they were getting too close to "2000" for it to seem plausible that the world would break-down so soon. So,they picked another 20 yrs. furthr ahead(there's probably some algorithm or something that they considered,but w/e). That way,it would seem more believable...
      Also,there's something I remember from back around the 80's that said the world would likely be collapsing around 2020,if we made it even THAT far...
      However,from what I also remember,religious people claimed the Bible said the world would end in 2000-2001(I heard that A LOT,as my older relatives are quite religious)...
      So,maybe the less-religious hedged their bets closer to 2020 since it couldn't be around 2000. That,or people in general began to have doubts about it being 2000/2001,anymore...

      No way. T2 is the best. Robert Patrick as the T-1000 is a far more sinister antagonist, Sarah Connor becomes a psychotic badass, and it even has depth from start to finish, like Sarah commenting on John's relationship to the Terminator and learning the value of human life. The only bad part is the sappy line from Arnie about why people cry. Great movie from start to finish.

      Agreed. He was so likable on Family Feud, that it was surreal yet appropriate to put him in this anti-verse approximation of himself. For similar reasons, if they ever do a remake of this, I think they should get Ellen Degeneres. Her Game of Games already has a pretty sadistic element to it, just without the death and murder.
