      It was such a different experience back then with movie theaters and block busters movie rentals. Netflix has taken so much fun away from film. Netflix is for couch potato’s not true film enthusiasts. The action stars of today don’t even compare to the 90’s Alpha action stars such as Arnold, Stallone, Jean Claud Van Dame etc. Going to the movies back then was such a fun family event.

    I honestly don't know how a kid, without much acting experience, pulled off the roll of John Connor so perfectly, and seemingly effortlessly. It didn't even seem like he was acting. We saw him express nearly everybody emotion, and the different personas based on who he was with (foster parents, mom, friend, Myles Dyson's young son, the T2, etc).

    That T2 movie came out when WW3 was such a looming threat. When that nuclear blast scene aired with Sarah Connor at the playground, it was so profound. Here we are three decades later, desensitized to such images of destruction yet closer to WW3 than ever.

      Hmm. No, T2 came out in 1991, after the Berlin Wall had fallen and the Soviet Union had collapsed. We were probably the furthest away from WW3 being a "looming threat" at that point. The 60s, 70s and even the 80s were pretty dicey in that respect, though.

    Man, I was 19 and in drug treatment in Buffalo, Iowa, when T2 hit the theaters. I watched the trailers on TV in the day block in county before being transferred to the drug treatment facility. I couldn’t leave the facility grounds until I graduated their 21-day program and by then T2 had left the theaters, but there was a cheap theater that played movies right after their initial release on sub-par screens and sound systems, and this place was showing T2!
    So first day of freedom me and this Mexican dude named Jimmy reserved seats on the facility van that transports people daily to the Davenport transit station, from there we hopped on a bus that took us over the Mississippi into Moline, IL, and at their transit station we transferred to a bus that took us close to the theater, hopped out, crossed over some roads, and walked into the theater. Our minds were blown! I was a seasoned moviegoer since birth, Jimmy, however, I don’t think had been to see too many movies on the big screen. He was having the time of his life. He was actually giddy with excitement.
    That’s the magic of Cameron’s movies. Years later when True Lies came out, I was by myself in the very top row, and directly in front of me was an old couple, and they too were having the time of their lives, especially during the Harrier sequence, which they watched with bated breath while holding each other.
    The man is a master. He only ever disappointed me with the Way of Water. But all is forgiven because Mr Cameron has provided me with oodles of entertainment, and though Aliens and Terminator are my favorites, T2 stands as a testament of excellence in action movie making, second only to Die Hard. Here’s another story if you’re still with me… When I was 16 me and two buddies (whom I still know!) one late winter night went to go see Die Hard, not knowing anything about it but that it was an action movie. We sat in the back row and took our coats off and used them to muffle the lighter flash as we took hits from a one-hitter. We barely paid attention to the movie, but when McClane dropped that explosive down the elevator shaft, we put the weed away and paid close attention. Man, Hollywood needs to put out something these days that’ll knock your socks off the way T2 and Die Hard did…

Arnie thought that was cool and that's why he has a Winchester rather than a pump action shotgun, so he could make like The Duke and look badass doing it.
