Someone has finally moved into the house next door, which had been empty for at least a year. Whoever it is has a television with a screen so large I can watch it from my kitchen. Right now they're watching Terminator 3.

My friends loved that movie so much they saw it three times in three days. Hmm...I've never watched it. But it sounds pretty kickass, with minimal CGI. It seems.

I've seen the first two but not the third one, except for the part I watched through the window.

I liked the original Terminator, although I'm sure it's really dated now. At the time it was a neat (if heavy-handed) apocalypse movie with an interesting, dark view of 1980s Los Angeles. I haven't watched it in over a decade so I'm not sure what I would think of it now.

I didn't like T2 as much due to an overabundance of CGI that didn't really have much to do with anything, but I did write a paper on its use of religious symbolism. It had a lot of that.

Hmm...I remember watching one of the two first Terminator movies in Washington D.C. I was in first grade, and it was on tv. And there's one part of it that scared me to hell. And it was my first night in Washington D.C., and we were staying at a motel that faced a brick wall. And I spent all night watching that brick wall and I couldn't sleep. It was the worst night. I was terrified.

Or maybe that was Robocop. You know...I think it was, now thinking about it. Did Terminator 1 or 2 have a scene where they removed some guy's entire brain, attached to a complete nervous system, with his eyeballs? And later they put it into a robot? Yeah, that scared the crap out of me.

I've never seen Robocop, but I think that must have been it, because while the Terminator movies are violent, I don't remember any removal of brains (and one does not forget that sort of thing).
