Terminator Salvation May Be Terminator’s Redemption

March 5, 2009 by Polly

Terminator Salvation isn’t set to come out till May but everyone’s already really excited about the movie thanks to director Manuel Balce Ceneta McG’s panel discussion during the movie trailer’s premiere at WonderCon last Saturday.

The movie is still very much in the works with some key elements still unsettled such as the appearance of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton and what role their icon characters will take in the movie. What is settled though is that the movie will be more about the story than the action sequences. It goes back to the question of humanity and according to McG asks, “Where does humanity lie? If you have an artificial hip, or an artificial heart, you’re still human, right? Well, where does that line end up being drawn? We’re flirting with the point now to where it’s not necessarily science fiction anymore. It is a real issue and part of what this film does is explore that question.” This movie, as Anton Telchin (Kyle Reese) puts it “honors the legacy of those first two movies.”

I say great news for Terminator fans that were sorely disappointed with the last movie (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines). Terminator Salvation is out to redeem the Terminator name and it seems like it’s going to do just that.

Studios Consider Withdrawing Ads From Network TV

June 1, 2007 by Michael

old-tv-set.jpgThe IMDB has a very interesting tidbit that suggests big movie studios are considering dropping their extensive and costly advertising on network TV. The reason?

DVRs. Tivo and cable company DVRs are becoming more and more popular, and as they do, advertising for movies becomes less and less effective. Not only do people skip the commercials, but more over, sometimes people don’t watch the shows until days after they air. If a studio spends big money on a Thursday night movie push, and the viewer doesn’t see it until that next week, then the money they spend on advertising the day before release is effectively waisted.

I can see the point of the movie studio…and I think all the free advertising on online sites probably helps…I mean, I don’t know about you, but I watch trailers all the time…heck I post trailers here all the time..and the studio isn’t paying a DIME for that.

Free online advertising isn’t the only reason to be sure, but when you factor in the time factor of Network TV ads, and the lower cost of online advertising, and for several movie studios…network ads just don’t make sense.

A 6th Transformers Commerical makes its way online

May 29, 2007 by Michael

The video quality of this one is certainly low, but this is probably the best of the commercials for the film so far. There is a line of dialogue in the trailer “It’s just you and me now.” But it sounds like Peter Cullin (who voices Optimus in the movie), so I don’t think it’s actually Bumblebee talking (I don’t think Bumblebee ever gets to talk in the film…although I really, REALLY, wish he would)…
