Don't Be Stupid. Terminator Salvation is Going to be Ridiculously Awesome

I heard some stupid bullshit on the radio this morning on my way home from work about how Terminator Salvation, the fourth installment of the Terminator franchise, was going to be a huge failure because people are still upset about the leaked audio of Christian Bale’s tirade during the filming of the movie.

Seriously?

Haven’t you ever gotten pissed off at your job? Haven’t you ever made some lazy stupid bitch co-worker cry? Haven’t you ever yelled at some resident for ordering shit that would actually kill patients instead of saving them?

Shit. I’m a nurse and for some of my fellow co-workers that kind of shit is something that just happens every other Wednesday (and more frequently in July). In no way am I saying that working in critical care is the same thing as acting, but fuck! People get stressed sometimes. Actors are humans, too.

Recently, I had a small (tiny) part in a film and that shit was actually hard! You have the entire crew staring at your ass, some dude right up behind you holding a microphone over your head, and you are expected to act naturally. I can see how aggravating it would be if Bale kept losing his train of thought because a crew member kept distracting him. One of the crew members on the set of the film I was in was hot and I almost yelled at him for distracting me!

To make things more nerve-racking, scenes are filmed over and over again until nausea, in order to get different angles. How much did I want to vomit from saying the same shit over and over again “naturally” and “in character?” I was in one of the last scenes of the day so the entire crew was depending on my ass to not fuck up so they could go home on time. It’s really not the easiest thing to do in the world.

So, fuck all y’all. I’m watching this movie. I've been waiting for the adult John Connor since 1984 when I was 6. I’ve seen Terminator 1 and 2 countless times as a kid and I could give a fuck if Bale lost his shit on the set. (Skip Terminator 3; it sucks major ball sacks.) Besides, Bale is absolutely perfect for this role as an actor, as an action star, and as a hot piece to look at.



Look at him. He's all scruffy and dirty. It's like Jesus himself granted me my childhood wish for the perfect John Connor.

Anyway, if you are going to cry about your unrealistic expectations for actors who are just bitches like you and me, then you don't deserve to witness the greatness of the Terminator movies.
