lauradi7dwA few weeks ago people were talking about the possibility of AI destruction of humanity and there were a bunch of references to The Terminator (1984). I watched a bit of the (2008) Fox series starring Lena Headey as Sarah Connor so I know the basic backstory, but thought that after all this time, I should watch the movie. I borrowed the DVD from the library. I nearly ejected it after about two minutes but forced myself through an enormous amount of death, car chases, and a surprising (to me) view of Linda Hamilton's breast*, before I quit. I have now seen the famous "I'll be back" line in situ. I still don't really know anything about Skynet. It seemed a little on the nose to think about a nuclear war in the same week that someone from the UN and elsewhere warned that the US & Israel versus (basically everybody) project is raising the nuclear stakes right now.
* There can be fairly steamy scenes in Korean/Chinese/Japanese dramas, but I don't think I've seen any bare breasts on screen in those. I watched part of a former Hallmark movie on Netflix the other day. Not much skin visible there either. The most recent movie I saw in a theater was about Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, more or less. Same.
