Listen and understand. That Amanda Miquilena is out there. She can't be bargained with. She can't be reasoned with. She doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and she absolutely will not stop, ever, until you push the buttons to like, subscribe and set notifications to all so you never miss new content.
16:52 He lost his eyebrows and singed his hair in the fiery car explosion (when Reese shoots the gas tank) after leaving the club. And it does make him look really creepy.
So many reactors are confused by the lack of eyebrows even though we literally just saw him on fire and smoking after jumping through a wall of flames seconds before. 😆
Haha young people. Yes phone books used to have addresses and that was often how you’d figure out where your friends lived. You think that’s crazy, in the first half of the 1900s newspaper social columns would print things like “Joe Smith and family, of 123 Pine Street, will be out of town next week visiting his parents in Chicago.” There were fewer crazy people back then, or maybe they were all institutionalized.
Whaaaattt??? That's crazy lmao. My mom says there were less crazy people back then as well but I disagree, I do believe people were more naive in certain aspects tho
@@amandamiquilena For a fee, you could get a private number and totally kept out of the phone book. Also for a fee, you could actually add details if you owned a business or were a professional.
@@amandamiquilena He's right about them being in mental hospitals, though. The US used to have very large mental hospitals all around the country, funded by the government, designed by a man named Kirkbride. Reagan cut the funding around the time this movie came out, so those huge mental hospitals closed throughout the 1990s. Now we just have smaller privately funded mental hospitals, which are expensive to get into, so most of our crazy people are now just wandering around out there until they do something that sends them to prison instead.
I used to hate how the newspaper would print your address and even your phone number when they were doing a story on the arrest. I speak from experience when I say that having the story of your arrest on the front page with all that contact info made you want to move and change your number. The phone book would remove the address but you had to formally request that they do so. Which was a hassle so most folks didn't bother doing it.
Yeah there have always been and always will be the same ratio of psychos and every other type of person.... We have TMI now though which is why we can't be as naive
The Terminator and Reese appeared naked because during the police interrogation, Reese mentions an “energy field generated by living organisms. Nothing dead will go through” the Time Machine. That’s why clothes and weapons cannot go through. The Terminator went through since it’s covered by living tissue.
What is so sad is that when Reese was talking about the photograph, he mentions how sad Sarah looked. He always wondered what she was thinking about. Reese didn’t know that Sarah was thinking about him. 😢
This is the best terminator movie. It has the best story. T2 is the most popular, it had a much bigger budget with more explosions and car chases and a helicopter and _stuff._ But this one had the best story, and it has got the horror element to it and romance as well. The ending of T1 wraps up all loose ends, yet leaves you perplexed and wondering. It is beautiful and poetic, sad, and many things bundled up in one. These are some of the reasons it's my favorite.
@@oscarl.3563 I dont want to spoil anything for Amanda......so if you read this stop. ************************* But really......first one....Machines bad people good. In the second one you see Sarah actually becoming a terminator, she nearly goes all the way. It took a kid getting in her way to save his dad for her to realize it. You also see her realizing that the Terminator would be the best dad for her son this also speaks volume. There is no character arc in the first one. Can you share what you specifically felt was though provoking in the first one?
@@znk0r It's a sci-fi and the premise of it is thought provoking in every way. There are alternative universes or time-lines, time travel, time loops(Kyle being John's father,) doomsday, our creation turning on us. What is not thought-provoking about it? I only care about good movies. It doesn't need to have a character arc, or be thought-provoking. What I dislike about T2 is that it's more childish and comedic, losing the horror element. I'm also not impressed by the big explosions, and losing the horror/thriller feel of the first movie for action. You lose romance as well. You lose story. In particular I dislike the ending where they are humanizing the T100(or whatever its called) just before it lowers itself into the lava. It's incredibly cheesy, and uncharacteristic - robots don't have feelings - and yet people especially women go AWwwwwww. And I'm like "no, this is not right." T2 is more like a money grab. I'm pretty sure they recycled various lines/jokes from the first movie for T2. I don't like this either. Obviously not a terrible movie. A great movie, I just think it lost the plot and the feel and replaced it with big explosions, cheesy jokes and inconsistencies. T1 is great throughout, T2 is an expensive bag of goodies with a few pieces snot-tasting jelly beans inside of it.
@@oscarl.3563 @znk0r Guys guys, T1 or T2, neither is the wrong answer. T1 the sci fi noir thriller. T2 the SFX action blockbuster (yet to be bettered imo). Both have their own tone and philosophies. Really it's about Sarah, great responsibility bestowed on the innocent mother of the future in T1, then in T2 the real weight of it (desperation, nightmares, paranoia etc). It's a bit harsh to call T2 a money grab, we had to wait 7 years for the technology to catch up. Yes T1 has the horror element, but once that's done you can't use it again as we now know what the threat is. Cameron understood this with Alien as well, first one was a claustrophobic atmospheric horror, Aliens was another superb all out actioner. So we have 2 films at the top of their genres. But here's one thing, if you watch T1 and T2 scene by scene, they're almost identical if you think about it.. takes some talent to make two excellent films that are the same but so different.
One of the earliest details in the movie that suggests which character is human is how they are teleported to the past. The bubble that they come in burns away everything inside and around it. The machine was seen first standing up in a molten crater and is burning his feet, but he doesn't feel pain. The human, Reese, is teleported to a spot up in the air to protect him from that.
Oh no!! If his intestines were blue, it must have been cutting off circulation. Poor Bonjour.😥 Also, the face in the doorway at 00:22 scared the s**t out of me!😂
9:25 Well, we have Google Maps now where anyone can look at our houses and its surroundings. We also have social media where we post our personal lives for everyone to see. Any people from the '80s would be more freaked about this than the phone books.
On of my old family cats ate a thread too. It was hanging out each end and was caught up all through her body. She had to be cut up all along her digestive tract to free it. She survived, glad to hear yours is doing well too!
The full-length shots of the skeletal Terminator were done with stop-motion, but the close shots, where you couldn't see the whole thing, were done with an animatronic puppet. It's pretty funny looking at behind-the-scenes shots where you can see that the Terminator's upper body puppet is attached to a welded-up frame with two little wheels on the bottom, and there's a whole crew of puppeteers and SFX guys crowded in behind him pushing him along like a wheelbarrow.
9:20 Far more information is available about you for free today than it was back then in a phone book. Also, back then a phone book was local, so only people in your own city could see our information: on the Internet, anyone anywhere in the world can see your information. Finally, you could opt out of being listed in the phone book, but you don't have that option with the Internet.
Well, you could also look at other phone books in libraries, but admittedly not for *every* city - usually just the bigger cities or towns closest to yours. But yeah, it's hard to believe (especially for younger people) in this age where bad people and scammers abound that phone books listed peoples' names, addresses, and phone numbers. But without them, people couldn't locate you! It was pre-internet. I do remember single women often got an "unlisted number" to avoid being in the directory and thus, targeted, but even that was kind of rare unless she had a violent ex or was being harassed. Earlier phone books sometimes even listed people's occupations, children's names, and other personal information. It was a simpler and more innocent age in many ways.
One interesting note, when Reese was telling her about the picture he had of her, he said he always wondered what she was thinking of when it was taken. As it turns out, at the moment it was taken, she was actually thinking about Reese. Mind blown...
My favorite continuity error that I can never unsee is the 3 street addresses in the phone book are 1823, 2816 and 309 but when Arnie goes to the first Sarah's house the address on the house is 14239
I appreciate the scares. I don't get scared by TV shows, movies, or video games. You actually freaked me out. Your scares are so unexpected and surreal. Very fun 😁
The reason it took the Terminator so long to get to the motel was because he went all the way up to a cabin where Sarah told her mother to hide (in the deleted scenes). I'm guessing he was quite a few hours away.
The reason the information that used to be in the phone book is no longer available has absolutely nothing to do with safety. It's just that the internet allowed that info to be monetized.
It does have to do with it but, the crime rates and amount of people looking exploit things like a phonebook listing is like night and day from back then.
In the first scenes with the three guys, the blue haired is Bill Paxton, a very well known actor who appeared in Titanic, Aliens or Twister, among another ones.
From what i remember, Arnold had to stop filming for a while this film to go and shoot Conan the Destroyer, and he had to cut his hair for the long hair wig in this movie, so this change was incoporated into the Terminator script by having him lose half the lenght of his hair and his eyebrows when he ran through fire. I may be wrong though
I saw this as a kid. Now that I'm older I find it funny that I was surprised that Reese was the father. Everyone seems to see that coming. Oh to be that innocent again. Now when I see it, 2 things stand out. 1) I find it sad that Reese never knew he was a father. And 2) of all the things i found scary as a kid, now the only thing that is horrifying to me is when Reese puts on a clearly intoxicated homeless mans pants without so much as underwear for protection of "sensitive" areas. I think I may have nightmares about it! I enjoyed your reaction.
Fun fact: While working on a different movie, James Cameron got severely ill. So much so, that he had a fever dream in which he was being chased by a metal skeleton. The final scene in The Terminator (as well as the design of the Terminator) was directly inspired by that fever dream.
29:02 "Yeah, like, what if they send another one?" They can't. Remember that Reese told the police psychologist that his was a one-way trip because John Connor's forces took control of the time travel equipment and were destroying it right after Reese went through. Of course, this assumes that they were successful, that the machines hadn't built a back-up facility, and that the machines didn't retain the knowledge to build more if they wanted too.
First time viewing your channel and I watched with tears in my eyes about your cat. I'm glad she's better. ❤ I thought it was cute that my cat was crawling under my kitchen cabinets in the apartment I rent. he made a little Heidi hole from himself I guess In the back underneath the sink. He also started getting sick throwing up & not having much energy. Then he's threw up a steel wool hairball. Someone had stuffed steel wool into the cracks to keep mice out I guess. And my dumb wonderful cat had been eating it. I sealed off the cabinet with a child lock and he got better. So yes keep an eye on what your animal gets itself into It may look innocent but they can find the most ridiculous things to get themselves sick over.
My favourite part, and a sad fact, is when Kyle said that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment in the picture. And she was thinking in Kyle during that tape record. Lovers across time.
36:25 It was so funny how, toward the end, you were, like, "Okay, it's definitely dead now. Oops! Nope!" And then, at the very end, James Cameron had finally trained you: "It's gonna move." 🤣
Oh my goodness! You, slowly creeping in to remind anyone new to subscribe... genuinely made me jump. You know when you see something move unexpectedly in your peripheral vision, it makes your heart pound? BRILLIANT, but it scared me. I'm laughing at how much it made me jump. Please, Amanda; never change.
"how does the terminator come back?" Remember, they're made in a factory, it was "model 101". They probably have a number of different faces but still churn them out by the hundreds. So in the sequels, it'll still look like Arnie, but would be a different Terminator. Like if you wrecked your car, you could buy the same make and model car, in the same color, and it'll look all but identical to your old car.
That was a great reaction Amanda! And yes, I think The TERMINATOR still holds it's own, despite the practical effects! The story alone is awesome, and we're not too far from seeing this really happen. And the part when, I believe your Mom, sticks her head in the door and tells us to subscribe and your camera adjustment at 28:30 of the video was hilarious! Lol 😆 I'm always looking forward to your next movie and can't wait to see your T2 reaction. 🎥🍿😉
Super enjoyed watching this reaction! Terminator is hands down my top favorite movie of all time. Yes, I prefer this one over the second. xD I haven't watched your reaction to that one yet but I'll be hopping on over to it here soon. :)
"He's going down too." Pretty sure he already went down earlier. 😁🤣 You could opt out of phone book listings back then, or even just opt out from having an address posted.
I love the fact that you can actually appreciate the practical effects in these older movies Amanda sadly we may never see this level of talent again.Love your reactions by the way.
10:29 Okay so the reactions so far JEEZUS CHRIST THAT THING IN THE BACKGROUND IS CREEPY! But Im already subbed, so Im good. LOL good one Amanda, that edit nearly creeped me out!
They went animatronic for the eye because they wanted a moving red eye and a prosthetic couldn't do that. They still did a great job. There is a VFX channel that edited the eye prosthetic scenes so it could move. It definitely adds something special to it. It would have been wild to see in the 80s
You are a breath of fresh air on this here UA-cam. Thanks for all of your great content. This is one of those movies that if you run across while channel surfing you have to stop and watch.
Really like how you appreciate the practical effects in this film. Some young people laugh, but it's not just the era. With the budget of T2 this would be a perfect movie, but at least we were lucky to get two great movies, a scifi horror and a scifi action.
Fantastic reaction as always! Love your sense of humor! Had me laughing a couple of times there. "He's going to die in that underwear?" LOL! Other great gems of wisecracking as well. I look forward to seeing your reaction to the sequels. Also, loved seeing your twin check in on you a couple of times. Now, if you could just arrange it so you and your twin have time to watch the movie together that would be awesome! 😉
Great reaction to this 80s sci-fi/horror/action classic Amanda....I highly recommend you watching 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' next. It is just as good in my opinion. (I suggest you watch the theatrical version of that movie first, because that is the version everyone saw in theaters when it came out in 1991...later on, if you're interested, feel free to check out the special edition and/or the extended cut to see what deleted, kept in and/or changed).
Poor kitty. My puppy ate a length of packing twine while we were moving to a new house and it got lodged in her colon. Thankfully, the vet was able to remove it without invasive surgery. Meanwhile, my puppy thought she just had the most cleansing poo of her life thus far.
Phone book addresses were optional in my area. People chose if their address was included. Probably in safer neighborhoods more people included their address. Stalking either wasn't as big a problem, or it people didn't think it was as big a problem.
Glad kitty is ok..👍.. yes.. practical effects are by far more terrifying... great movie... Terminator 2 is much more CGI but is a must see.. great reaction little lady👋
When it comes to stop-motion Ray Harryhausen's effects created some real movie magic. Favorites would be e.g. Jason and the Argonauts (1963) or One Million Years B.C. (1966).
Hi Amanda! I'm so glad and happy that your cat is going to be ok. Our pets always seem to get themselves in some kind of trouble. My parents had their cat for 20 years and she was super spoiled. :D
I forgot to mention... back in the day we had phone books that had everyone's name, address and phone number. That was before the days of identity theft, etc, and people could opt to have their name and number omitted from future phone book publishing. If you remember in Back to the Future when Marty ripped out a page from the phone book in 1955, having the phone book at the pay phone was very common.
Driving from Big Bear to Los Angeles is quite a drive, considering Big Bear is up in the mountains and still has to drive on a mountain freeway to get to LA. I reside in between Big Bear and Los Angeles in a city of Victorville.
Look, I love your videos and your jokes and your reactions! You are great. Thank you for another, as always, great video! And in this video I got scared at timestamp 10:28, no doubt about it. I don´t know why, it was great. But i got scared at first :D I am sorry to hear what happened to your cat and I do hope your cat gets well soon. I agree with you regarding practical effects being better then the CGI, on a general level.
My cat swallowed tinsel string from a Christmas tree, they like to play with string obviously and I think they sometimes start chewing/swallowing the string maybe because it's similar to a piece of grass which they naturally chew and eat a bit of.
Although the other movies past TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY are okay and somewhat enjoyable for me, what I consider a “third sequel” is “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”, which takes place a few years after T2. Though there were only 2 seasons, for what it’s worth, I thoroughly enjoyed each episode they made.
One of my favourite films of all time, I was born in the 80's and my parents owned a video store which we lived above so I would sneak down and watch all the new movies, what a time...
I miss the mom & pop video stores. When everyone was lamenting Blockbuster closing down, and the more recent nostalgia about it, I just said, "F### Blockbuster." So, did you sneak down and watch the videos that were kept in the smaller room in back?
I've seen dozens of reactions to this, but I really enjoyed yours. I first saw this in a movie theater in 1984. I'm going to go through your catalog and watch more of your reactions. You didn't ask, but just for the record, the following are some of the greatest movies ever made. To me, not one is less than exceptional: "Alien," "Aliens," "Annie Hall," "Body Heat," "Contact," "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951 NOT the 2008 remake), “The Dead Zone,” "Deja Vu," “Enemy Mine,” “Fahrenheit 451,” "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," "Forbidden Planet," "Frequency," "Gandhi," "Ghost," "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," "Good Will Hunting," "The Green Mile," "Highlander," "It Happened One Night," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," “The Man on the Flying Trapeze” (only 65 min.), "The Matrix," "Miracle on 34th Street (1947 NOT the remake)," "Mississippi Burning," "North by Northwest," "Once Upon a Time in the West," "The Pink Panther," "Psycho," "Rear Window," "The Right Stuff," "Rio Bravo," "Some Like it Hot," "Stalag 17," "The Thing," "The Time Machine (1960 version)," "Topper," "2001: A Space Odyssey (hard to understand without reading the book)," "Vertigo," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Zodiac"

"It's like the Bible, but on asteroids." The best descriptive line that I have heard yet.
Your're one movie ahead with the Hasta La Vista, but correct franchise ;)

The full-length shots of the skeletal Terminator were done with stop-motion, but the close shots, where you couldn't see the whole thing, were done with an animatronic puppet. It's pretty funny looking at behind-the-scenes shots where you can see that the Terminator's upper body puppet is attached to a welded-up frame with two little wheels on the bottom, and there's a whole crew of puppeteers and SFX guys crowded in behind him pushing him along like a wheelbarrow.

Mine is that the 12th May 1984 was a Saturday not a Thursday, so the cop who Kyle disarms literally doesn't know what day of the week it is.

The reason it took the Terminator so long to get to the motel was because he went all the way up to a cabin where Sarah told her mother to hide (in the deleted scenes). I'm guessing he was quite a few hours away.
Oh my god that was the creepiest subscribe thing I've seen .LOL
The reason the information that used to be in the phone book is no longer available has absolutely nothing to do with safety. It's just that the internet allowed that info to be monetized.
It does have to do with it but, the crime rates and amount of people looking exploit things like a phonebook listing is like night and day from back then.
@@adamscott7354 Crime rates were actually higher in the eighties and nineties than they are now .

The movie really holds up after all these years.
Real special effects when done well are far and away better than CGI.
In the first scenes with the three guys, the blue haired is Bill Paxton, a very well known actor who appeared in Titanic, Aliens or Twister, among another ones.
“Your moma” is such a great comeback in that situation XD
From what i remember, Arnold had to stop filming for a while this film to go and shoot Conan the Destroyer, and he had to cut his hair for the long hair wig in this movie, so this change was incoporated into the Terminator script by having him lose half the lenght of his hair and his eyebrows when he ran through fire. I may be wrong though
Happy to hear your cat is doing better!
Look forward to you watching the sequel. It's still one of my all-time favourite action movies.
I saw this as a kid. Now that I'm older I find it funny that I was surprised that Reese was the father. Everyone seems to see that coming. Oh to be that innocent again. Now when I see it, 2 things stand out. 1) I find it sad that Reese never knew he was a father. And 2) of all the things i found scary as a kid, now the only thing that is horrifying to me is when Reese puts on a clearly intoxicated homeless mans pants without so much as underwear for protection of "sensitive" areas. I think I may have nightmares about it! I enjoyed your reaction.
Fun fact: While working on a different movie, James Cameron got severely ill. So much so, that he had a fever dream in which he was being chased by a metal skeleton. The final scene in The Terminator (as well as the design of the Terminator) was directly inspired by that fever dream.
Everyone take a drink every time someone posts about what Sarah was thinking about in the picture.
And in every freaking reaction video.
She was clearly thinking.."I can't believe we have to wait for Jennifer Lawrence to be the first woman in the lead of an action movie"
"He's gonna die in that underwear." And I can't stop laughing now. 🤣
29:02 "Yeah, like, what if they send another one?" They can't. Remember that Reese told the police psychologist that his was a one-way trip because John Connor's forces took control of the time travel equipment and were destroying it right after Reese went through. Of course, this assumes that they were successful, that the machines hadn't built a back-up facility, and that the machines didn't retain the knowledge to build more if they wanted too.
Spoiler: I thought they sent two at once. They sent a more advance prototype to kill John. And they sent a T-800 to kill Sarah, just in case.
Background subscribe Amanda really got me 🤣🤣
I love your sense of humor! Looking forward to the sequal; it's one of the best movies ever made
First time viewing your channel and I watched with tears in my eyes about your cat. I'm glad she's better. ❤
I thought it was cute that my cat was crawling under my kitchen cabinets in the apartment I rent. he made a little Heidi hole from himself I guess In the back underneath the sink.
He also started getting sick throwing up & not having much energy.
Then he's threw up a steel wool hairball. Someone had stuffed steel wool into the cracks to keep mice out I guess. And my dumb wonderful cat had been eating it. I sealed off the cabinet with a child lock and he got better.
So yes keep an eye on what your animal gets itself into It may look innocent but they can find the most ridiculous things to get themselves sick over.
My favourite part, and a sad fact, is when Kyle said that he always wondered what Sarah was thinking at that moment in the picture. And she was thinking in Kyle during that tape record. Lovers across time.
"Um, this is a Mcdonalds sir" lol!! That one got me..😂😂😂
36:25 It was so funny how, toward the end, you were, like, "Okay, it's definitely dead now. Oops! Nope!" And then, at the very end, James Cameron had finally trained you: "It's gonna move." 🤣
10:26 - You have no idea how terrifying that was lol...
Terminator 2 is one of the best science fiction / action movies ever made. Watch it as soon as you can! Great reaction! Thanks for all your hard work!
I will and thank you, I do work hard on these :)
My cat had the same thing happen to her , except it was a ribbon . You forgot to mention how expensive the surgery is .
Greetings from Finland girl!!! Great reaction and cannot wait to see your reaction to Terminator 2 judgment day!!! "i'll be back" 😎
Oh your lovely little kitty, I'm so happy she's better now! 💗 It must have been so scary.
lol love the photo bomb.
Oh my goodness! You, slowly creeping in to remind anyone new to subscribe... genuinely made me jump. You know when you see something move unexpectedly in your peripheral vision, it makes your heart pound? BRILLIANT, but it scared me.
I'm laughing at how much it made me jump. Please, Amanda; never change.
"how does the terminator come back?" Remember, they're made in a factory, it was "model 101". They probably have a number of different faces but still churn them out by the hundreds. So in the sequels, it'll still look like Arnie, but would be a different Terminator. Like if you wrecked your car, you could buy the same make and model car, in the same color, and it'll look all but identical to your old car.
That was a great reaction Amanda! And yes, I think The TERMINATOR still holds it's own, despite the practical effects! The story alone is awesome, and we're not too far from seeing this really happen. And the part when, I believe your Mom, sticks her head in the door and tells us to subscribe and your camera adjustment at 28:30 of the video was hilarious! Lol 😆 I'm always looking forward to your next movie and can't wait to see your T2 reaction. 🎥🍿😉
Super enjoyed watching this reaction! Terminator is hands down my top favorite movie of all time. Yes, I prefer this one over the second. xD I haven't watched your reaction to that one yet but I'll be hopping on over to it here soon. :)
"He's going down too." Pretty sure he already went down earlier. 😁🤣
You could opt out of phone book listings back then, or even just opt out from having an address posted.
I love the fact that you can actually appreciate the practical effects in these older movies Amanda sadly we may never see this level of talent again.Love your reactions by the way.
10:29 Okay so the reactions so far JEEZUS CHRIST THAT THING IN THE BACKGROUND IS CREEPY! But Im already subbed, so Im good.
LOL good one Amanda, that edit nearly creeped me out!
They went animatronic for the eye because they wanted a moving red eye and a prosthetic couldn't do that. They still did a great job. There is a VFX channel that edited the eye prosthetic scenes so it could move. It definitely adds something special to it. It would have been wild to see in the 80s
You are a breath of fresh air on this here UA-cam. Thanks for all of your great content. This is one of those movies that if you run across while channel surfing you have to stop and watch.
Not gonna lie, when you peeked through the door for the like and subscribe thing, it really creeped me out! 😂
Really like how you appreciate the practical effects in this film. Some young people laugh, but it's not just the era. With the budget of T2 this would be a perfect movie, but at least we were lucky to get two great movies, a scifi horror and a scifi action.
Glad your cat is OK. Great Reaction, I'm looking forward to T2.
Glad your cat is ok, Can't wait for your T2 reaction! 😮
Fantastic reaction as always! Love your sense of humor! Had me laughing a couple of times there. "He's going to die in that underwear?" LOL! Other great gems of wisecracking as well. I look forward to seeing your reaction to the sequels. Also, loved seeing your twin check in on you a couple of times. Now, if you could just arrange it so you and your twin have time to watch the movie together that would be awesome! 😉
Great reaction to this 80s sci-fi/horror/action classic Amanda....I highly recommend you watching 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' next. It is just as good in my opinion. (I suggest you watch the theatrical version of that movie first, because that is the version everyone saw in theaters when it came out in 1991...later on, if you're interested, feel free to check out the special edition and/or the extended cut to see what deleted, kept in and/or changed).
Poor kitty. My puppy ate a length of packing twine while we were moving to a new house and it got lodged in her colon. Thankfully, the vet was able to remove it without invasive surgery. Meanwhile, my puppy thought she just had the most cleansing poo of her life thus far.
Phone book addresses were optional in my area. People chose if their address was included. Probably in safer neighborhoods more people included their address. Stalking either wasn't as big a problem, or it people didn't think it was as big a problem.
Btw I love your personality and sense of humour so much 😩
"Is this a horror movie?" I think of it as a monster movie, like Frankenstein or Jaws.
6:00 he just pulled out a bundle of string from his gut. The man is totally fine, even better than he was
Ok, the pic of you with the big 80s hair was totally gnarly! You were probably super popular in school with that hair.
Glad kitty is ok..👍.. yes.. practical effects are by far more terrifying... great movie... Terminator 2 is much more CGI but is a must see.. great reaction little lady👋
You are awesome! More people should watch this channel.
When it comes to stop-motion Ray Harryhausen's effects created some real movie magic. Favorites would be e.g. Jason and the Argonauts (1963) or One Million Years B.C. (1966).
Thanks
Hi Amanda! I'm so glad and happy that your cat is going to be ok. Our pets always seem to get themselves in some kind of trouble. My parents had their cat for 20 years and she was super spoiled. :D
I forgot to mention... back in the day we had phone books that had everyone's name, address and phone number. That was before the days of identity theft, etc, and people could opt to have their name and number omitted from future phone book publishing. If you remember in Back to the Future when Marty ripped out a page from the phone book in 1955, having the phone book at the pay phone was very common.
lol I totally spotted that person in the door =P Awww Glad kitty is good
Amanda there are six terminator movies and please don't skip the rest of them because you will enjoy all of them.
great reaction, looking out for your Terminator 2 post :D
Driving from Big Bear to Los Angeles is quite a drive, considering Big Bear is up in the mountains and still has to drive on a mountain freeway to get to LA. I reside in between Big Bear and Los Angeles in a city of Victorville.
Look, I love your videos and your jokes and your reactions! You are great. Thank you for another, as always, great video!
And in this video I got scared at timestamp 10:28, no doubt about it. I don´t know why, it was great. But i got scared at first :D
I am sorry to hear what happened to your cat and I do hope your cat gets well soon.
I agree with you regarding practical effects being better then the CGI, on a general level.
Well thank you for watching my videos, I appreciate it :) and thank you for your kind wishes, my cat is doing better now.
your edits crack me up lol
My cat swallowed tinsel string from a Christmas tree, they like to play with string obviously and I think they sometimes start chewing/swallowing the string maybe because it's similar to a piece of grass which they naturally chew and eat a bit of.
When your face came out of the doorway in the back, it scared the hell out of me.
I remember the white pages and yellow pages. Never used a phone booth
"I'll be back." was the better choice, seeing as it's pretty much Arnie's signature catch phrase from various movies.
Although the other movies past TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY are okay and somewhat enjoyable for me, what I consider a “third sequel” is “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”, which takes place a few years after T2. Though there were only 2 seasons, for what it’s worth, I thoroughly enjoyed each episode they made.
One of my favourite films of all time, I was born in the 80's and my parents owned a video store which we lived above so I would sneak down and watch all the new movies, what a time...
I miss the mom & pop video stores. When everyone was lamenting Blockbuster closing down, and the more recent nostalgia about it, I just said, "F### Blockbuster."
So, did you sneak down and watch the videos that were kept in the smaller room in back?
@@AceMoonshot lol, errmm I was a little young but I did once or twice sneak down and watch the x-rated movies, haha.
LOL
I had to stop the video 1/4 in until I had stopped laughing after the visit of the subscription demon. :D
Freaky!
Amanda your killin' it. Can't wait for T2 and that thumbnail of you is great.
Glad your cat is ok!
It was funny to me when you said you wanted to know more like see the future. All I could think was look out your window or turn on the news :).
The Sarah Conner character discovered an inner strength she never knew she even had.

@10:26
That really creeped the hell out of me when I saw her peeking out 😮
About what you said at the end… well, there’s some of that at some of the movies, but specially at the TV series about her
10:25 scared the sh*t outta me 😂😂
I have never noticed before, the t800 flying through the windshield when he crashed the police car.
