For anyone wondering, that's Sarah Connors dream from Terminator 2 right before the city gets nuked.

[–] Balaquina@lemmy.ca 172 points 1 month ago (7 children)

The fact that you have to explain this is making me feel very god damned old right now.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 69 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Let me rub it in then... ;)

That is Sarah Connor from Terminator 1

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn, thank you for providing your knowledge to rub it in!

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that's actually her twin sister (Leslie Hamilton Freas)

[–] hohoho@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Her identical twin sister died unexpectedly in 2020 :/

Clearly the grain of sand who in time will be ground down and melted to form part of the core processing unit of the terminator.

T2 is 34 years old, I remember reading about it in a paper magazine, when James Cameron said that the molten T1000 should say "Get out" to the helicopter pilot and how the CGI artists were stumped on how to make it happen.

There's something like 2-5 minutes of CGI in T2 and that was unheard of back in 1991.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The actress who played Sarah Conner had a twin in real life, and they use her as a double in some scenes.

Notably one (that I think was cut) has her operating on Arnold's head, and you can see her doing it in the mirror. What they actually did was make a super detailed replica of his head and used her twin sister to mirror her movements. There are videos and stuff out there about it, it's pretty fucking cool.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

One of the other notable scenes with her sister was in the steel factory, when the T1000 was mimicking Sarah. The T1000 was actually played by Linda Hamilton and it was her sister with the shotgun.

For anybody not old enough to have seen that movie, go see Terminator, and then Terminator 2, and then stop.

You are missing out.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I also recommend the Netflix anime, Terminator Zero. It's made by Production IG, the people behind Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and SkyDance, and does a great job of being its own thing while being respectful of the first two movies.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I second this recommendation, solid series and it does do a great job of being faithful to the setting instead of just using it as a veneer for some other type of story.

The TV series from the mid-2000s was actually pretty decent, but it was canceled like 2 seasons in and never finished its story.

But yeah, T2 isn't gonna be topped. I think it is a strong contender for best action film of all time.

Saw it again a few months ago, scary how current that movie still is (AI, nuclear war)

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To give you an idea of my age, I'm still young enough to get drafted to the US military. I watched T2 when I was a teen, like about 10 years ago, give or take. That movie is one of my favorites. It doesn't feel that old from my PoV.

Definitely a scene that sticks with you

[–] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

For me what clued me in is how much more muscle she has than the typical playground mom.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Sure she can do it, but when I stand like this and watch children at the playground, the cops show up.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair, this was in her dreams.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

So is watching children in thiers

[–] Klear@quokk.au 18 points 1 month ago

That is pretty bad but it's still not the nuclear option.

I dunno whether you're trolling or just genuinely don't know the lyrics, but...

  • Blinded by the light
  • Revved up like a deuce,
  • another runner in the night
[–] ook@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 month ago

No, that doesn't sound right.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Are you trying to say that those lyrics make more sense???

Before the moment. It is very fleeting after all. Take in your surroundings. Be mindful.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Playgrounds are like this now too. Kids playing, not looking at phones, living in the moment. 🙂

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Only downside is it makes exchanging numbers a little harder.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why are you exchanging numbers with kids?🤨

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just a crutch to make things a little easier on myself. I frankly suck at old-fasioned luring.
