Russian Terminator

A Russian hobbyist put together a diorama of World War II action figures assembling a terminator to fight the Germans. Oh, this isn’t just one scene, but a series of photographs that tell the story. I particularly liked the part where the commanding officer selected a face for their creation. The title of the post is “Laughter is Stalin’s Secret Weapon”. Link -via Metafilter

Terminator Tazed in Nevada

Posted by John Farrier in Movies & SciFi, Odd News on July 16, 2009 at 5:44 pm

They don’t make robotic destroyers from the future like they used to.  Or perhaps I should say, they won’t build them like the used or, or will do better in the future than they had done in the more recent future.  Anyway, this terminator proved to be less sturdy than what we’re used to seeing:

19-year-old Sean Stanley Smith was arrested on the Nevada border after he was spotted by a motorist wandering around the highway nude. He was ordered by police to stop but proceeded into a nearby casino – where he was then tasered in front of a group of children. Smith claims he was a Terminator sent back in time from the future.

Terminator Timeline

Posted by Miss Cellania in Movies & SciFi on May 24, 2009 at 3:46 pm


Now that Terminator Salvation is in theaters, Cracked has attempted to create a timeline that explains how the various time-travel plots work. Some things to remember:

1. Time travel in a Terminator movie is like plumbing in a porno: a very loose excuse to get to the action.
2. Anyone expecting accuracy is missing the point (and having much less fun than everyone else).
3. With that said, here is our attempt to construct a sensible time line of the franchise.

Note: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is not included in this project. Link -via Digg

10 Timelines From The Terminator Universe

Posted by Miss Cellania in Movies & SciFi on March 31, 2009 at 11:34 am

These ten different timelines, which are all affected whenever someone uses a time machine, can be confusing (as all time travel stories are), but reading them may help you prepare for the new movie Terminator: Salvation.

I’ve mulled it over some more, and I still believe there has to be a timeline where someone other than Kyle Reese is John Connor’s father. When The Terminator was a standalone movie, you could read it either way. Either there’s a circular causality, where Kyle is “always” John Connor’s father, or Kyle’s time travel creates a new branch. But Terminator 2 pretty much establishes that time travel always creates new branches, because there’s no fate but what we make. And the Connors, with their friendly T-800, are able to stop or at least delay Skynet. But of course, your mileage, even backwards and forwards through time, may vary.
