Finally. I always thought it was stupid how in T3 the T-X was a mix of classical terminator robotics and the nano-based T-1000 because it lost most of the advantages of the T-1000. It felt pointless. This version of the T-X though actually feels like it works, since it's basically two robotic bodies, with the nano-goo able to exist as it's own entity off the robotic undercarriage.

I liked The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
I kinda lost interest in the series after T2, but this has Linda Hamilton still being a badass, so my curiosity it piqued.
Isn't it like the second reboot they have done now?
They did an in-universe reboot with Genesys by implying Skynet sent Terminators farther back in time to kill Sarah Conner, which lead to a new "present" time that Kyle Reese visits in which Sarah is already a seasoned fighter.
This new one though, from what I know, just entirely ignores all the other movies after T2 and implies this is the T2 sequel, since James Cameron is on board with it.

Drop kicked from behind into the franchise again.
Is it weird that I am more hung up on why he seems to be producing, labeling, and packaging wine in a world where A) anything can be replicated, and B) money no longer exists? Like, why? Does he just deliver it to bars on his own? Why even have a branding then? Why would the bars take his wine when they likely replicate their own booze at the bar? Why am I thinking so much about this...
Why do people produce handcrafted goods now when they could easily be mass produced for less cost and effort? There's always nostalgia for the way things "used to be" and it doesn't surprise me that Picard of all people would be drawn to traditional wine-making without worrying about profit.
Even today, there are plenty of people who enjoy doing something so much that they would even do it for free, so long as their needs were still met.
And if they're that good at it, others might just give them land, equipment, etc. to support their "hobby."

All valid questions. They only answer the show gave us, as far as I can remember, is that it's the family vineyard/Picard family tradition. So, hobby? Keeping family tradition alive? Writers running out of French stereotypes?
It was strongly implied that the Picard family vineyard was sort of a way of preserving a traditional part of French culture - vinification the old fashioned way.
And yeah, it's not done for profit, Star Trek is a post-scarcity society. But a hand-crafted traditional wine would make for a special touch compared to replicated synth, so local restaurants probably stock it.

Wait till he hears about the lead for Alien&Aliens...So on the new Terminator trailer some guy was REALLY up in arms about there being a female lead. Ahnald replied.
I thought the heroes of those movies were Henry Dean Stanton and Michael Beihn (SP) respectively.

Taika Waititi is scheduled to direct a live action version of Akira, with a release date of May 21, 2021. It will be an adaptation of the manga, and attempt to incorporate more elements from that source than the anime did.

Ah, crap. I meant to post that in the movie news thread.
Well, good luck with that. There is no way to fit all of 6 phone book sized volumes of a manga into just one movie.
Fake trailer. There should be four lights behind him.
They didn't do that in the manga any more than the movie. But Akira was a character in the manga more than just a presence. The Great Tokyo Empire was a thing, sacrificing people to Akira. I didn't read the whole thing, but there's a lot more going on, and
This. There might be more details from that, but the manga is massive.
All that said, I'm more interested than them just remaking the movie, plus with this director my hopes are they won't make the same mistakes as live action Ghost in the Shell.

So it's basically Bright, but not a dumpster fire.

Oh, I am IN for this. The Vertigo comic it's based on was great and this looks just as great.
Sisko's father loved running a restaurant back on earth because he loved cooking and interacting with people in the kind of atmosphere he created. And as far as I can recall, while replicated food and drinks could be quite good, they never had that chef's/grandma's touch that prepared foods had.
