YOU WANT ME TO TRASH YOUR LIGHTS?!


So I finally watched the highly anticipated sequel in the Terminator series, “Terminator: Salvation”. As a child I’ve always been a big fan of the Terminator series, mainly 1 and 2, number 3...could go die but this one seemed hopeful with Christian Bale in the lead as John Connor and finally getting to see what the war was really like in the future.
The trailer is what really got me amped because everything from the special effects to the cinematography looked amazing. So I went into the theater with high hopes.
Man...it’s hard to find the words to describe this movie.
The pros of the film would have to be the CGI, the explosions, and the action scenes; basically the external shell of the movie that mindless viewers expect from an action film was top notch.
The little references to the first movies were dope too. The shotgun strap, the one-liners, John Connor’s scars, sure I get it but was that enough to make it a good movie?
Overall the movie lacked performance quality...even from Christian Bale, sad to say. Many of the actors did not deliver convincing performances that I could not find a connection with. I did not feel anything for the characters in the film because they did not have a presence to begin with. There was no character development between anyone; I didn’t even realize John Connor’s wife was pregnant until he touched her stomach. The film failed to mention these minor details and failed to allow them to grow to create content for the film.
Common cannot act...STOP HIRING FUCKING RAPPERS!
Where was Terry Crews?
You go into Skynet headquarters and only fight 2 terminators?! Cool cameo though but STILL!
“You are the resistance...this is John Connor....WHAT ARE YOU?! YOU!!! MOVE!!!” That's pretty much what comes out of Bale's mouth throughout the whole movie.
The film also seemed to be mainly centered on Sam Worthington’s character who seemed like he was the only one trying to really act in the film. Christian Bale seemed like a supporting character; not enough screen time and his appearance didn’t really make a big impact on the movie itself.
I was happy to see John Connor finally grow into the badass soldier he was born to be but I still feel he wasn’t the center of the film.
The ending seemed rushed and I felt the movie had a lot of holes.
You want to know how hard it is to judge such a film...I honestly can’t tell which was worse...this movie...or Terminator 3...yeah, sorry to say.
So maybe I was expecting too much from this movie but overall I just felt it didn’t deliver.
In my mind the Terminator franchise ended with T2. Fuck Terminator 3, Sarah Connor Chronicles -_- and ...yeah this movie.

Bleh.
This should be made into a sequel haha.


Star Trek - 2
Wolverine - 0
Terminator - 0

Transformers and GI Joe..give me what you got!!!

Extras

So today I worked as an extra in a bank commercial featuring martial arts.
About a week ago, the company scouted through different martial art schools within the Los Angeles area looking for kids ages 8-10.
A scout came through my father's studio and began interviewing a few students.
The scout then asked if he could interview a few Black belts so my father suggested I try it just for fun. At first I was hesitant but I figured why the hell not.
So I did a short interview and demo for the scout and two days later I got a call back asking me if I was interested in being cast as an extra.
I said sure, new experience for me.
So today I woke up around 7ish and the commercial was actually being shot in Eagle Rock so it was pretty convenient for me. In fact, it was shot where New Kids 3 and 4 were so it I was pretty familiar with the area.
Get there at about 8 am and check in with the casting director and wardrobe.
I got dressed and went on set. It was pretty legit. I thought it was dope how they turned one gymnasium into like 4 different sets.
The director seemed to like my audition tape because he asked if I could teach the kids a few things.
I was cast as a coach/trainer for the opposing team. It was pretty fun. I was just telling the kid actor random stuff...mainly just trying to make him laugh but he pulled through.
Some of the kids were really amazing doing flashkicks and websters and shit during breaks haha.
All in all, it was a pretty tiring day but I got a free lunch and paycheck to do what I like to do...hopefully more opportunities will come through my talents...but I also need to keep training and improving my skills ^_^
I suppose I should put this in my resume and add it to my myspace status lol. C'mon! Who does that!? >.> hahahaha
The day consisted of a lot waiting, sitting, yelling, and cheering haha.
Hope to see the commercial when it's finished.
A few flicks of the set.
