Do Not Even

foolish_m0rtalDear world,
I turned on the tv after marathoning a shit-ton (technical term meaning more than 300 minutes) of Person of Interest. Guess what's on now? Oh, nothing just TERMINATOR SALVATION.
This is the universe telling me all the things, dudes. Like, I don't even know what's going on at this point. All I know is that I'm finding Sam Worthington's character unsettlingly attractive, and he's not even my type at all. Moon Bloodgood? Yeah, that's an easy decision, cause damn. But Sam Worthington? Hmmm.... It must be the hot ass resistance fighter jackets.
Aaand he just got punched in the heart. Dammit, Terminators. Who does that? Maybe I'd like this film more if:
a) Christian Bale weren't so fucking intense with his John Connor. Calm down, bro. It's an action film, not Oscar bait. Calm the hell down.
b) They'd stayed with the original storyline of Kate grafting dead John Connor's skin onto Marcus's exoskeleton to keep the legend of John Connor going. So John Connor isn't even the real John Connor, he's Marcus pretending to be John Connor. Mind. Blown. Definitely would have liked this since it would have forced Bale to chill out. I also liked Marcus loads better.
c) They'd made Kate more kickass. She's supposed to be second in command, but most of the film is her standing around while John talks at her and says Significant Things while the camera Dutch angles his face. Blair Williams was a badass. Why u no make Kate like her? Oh yeah, because women in media are all about 'healing shit and having babies,' as my friends and I have said on multiple occasions.
c) They'd added more Ho Yay, because you can never have enough Ho Yay. John Connor's all like, "I know he's machine scum, but there's just...something about him. What is this feeling? Team, I am experiencing emotion. Please hold me back before I jump Marcus's metal bones." Why do I keep doing this to myself, guys?

He was the one who wanted a bigger part and thus ruineth the movie. John Connor was supposed to be a very small role, and it's SUPPOSED to be like that. The whole mythos of the universe is that we never see future John Connor. TSCC did that right by never ever showing us future John. URGH. Fuck Bale.
I TOTALLY AGREE THEY SHOULD'VE GONE WITH THE MINDFUCK ENDING.
What is this feeling? Team, I am experiencing emotion. Please hold me back before I jump Marcus's metal bones.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
