What is it with men and the Terminator movies?

[KitchenWitch]

good gods, you would think they have enough testosterone coursing through their veins without watching such an androgen fest!

:rofl:

1. We like to see things blow up. n/t

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. Can't say - I'm not a terribly huge fan myself.

It was fun to watch once, but I'm good now. :-)

3. BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

[bigwillq]

5. For real?

:shrug:

But who am I to judge--I cried at the end of "50 First Dates" :D

[cleofus1]

7. yup...

i also cried at the end of armegeddon...

[bigwillq]

8. I cried at the end

of that movie too. I took my cousin, who was like 13 at the time, and he was crying too.

[billyskank]

6. It's all about male bonding

Or something like that. :)

[Benfea]

9. For me it's the Abyss.

The second Terminator movie is alright (great action), but not that great.

Abyss on the other hand, I can't get enough of. I even get weepy when Lindsey deliberately drowns herself.

10. Linda Hamilton

Some guys find Linda Hamilton hot. Yours truly excluded.

12. Welcome to DU "Radio_Guy"

19. Thanks Dave

Glad to be here. :toast:

[Crazy Dave]

11. Actually

My wife watches the "Terminator", "Rambo" and "Die Hard" trilogies more than I have seen them combined in my lifetime.
Now give me "The Godfather" movies I & II, turn off the sound and I can tell you the script word for word with the accents too.

[Beer Snob-50]

13. godfather i and ii

the greatest movies of all time. my wife can not believe that i will watch it everytime it is on tv and still pop in my dvd collection once a month or so.

btw, have you seen the outtakes on the dvd box set? interesting stuff.

[Crazy Dave]

20. The outtakes?

No, to be honest with you I haven't but now you've got me interested and I will check it out.
Thanks :hi:

14. whats not to love? killer robots, strong female characters, save the world

I thought t2 was the best of the bunch, fun action movie, I didn't think there was anything wrong with that (T1 was adequate, T3 was a joke).


What is it with women and sappy tragedies? (beaches, terms of endearment, etc), you'd think they have enough estrogen coursing through their veins already!

- if i want to cry, I'll hit my thumb with a hammer! LOL.

[cleofus1]

15. when i hit my thumb with a hammer

i just start swearing like a sunovagun....

[m_welby]

17. yeah, that too! n/t

[WCGreen]

16. Terminator three is so over the top... So badly scripted....

So poorly acted....

That I considered it a comedy....

Terminator 1, good flick...

But once was enough....

Now if Seven Brides for Seven Brothers comes on....

Oh, I will watch that.....

And I'm not Gay.....

[cleofus1]

18. i prefer "how to succeed in business without really trying"

"west side story" is good...and or course fiddler on the roof...

but none of those made me cry like "the exorcist"

[WCGreen]

22. West Side Story always makes me cry....

And that song.... Cool.... Is so fucking good... It is probably the best dance number ever on the screen....

[leftofthedial]

21. can't post right now

but I'LL BE BOCK

[cleofus1]

23. classic dialog

the original didn't make me cry...only becouse it was a straight up sci-fi...i could only gasp in amazement....

[JitterbugPerfume]

24. Testosterone

they all got it

[cleofus1]

25. a common female misinterpretation of the genre

it's about self sacrifice and duty...and lots of people getting horribly killed who really really deserve it...oh yea and explosions...
