Re: Arnold Schwarzenegger And James Cameron back for another terminato

If they want to make it a sucess, they need to get the cool back. Relying on past sucesses is not going to make anyone watch it, other than a few hardcore fans.

Re: Movie That Changed Your Life?

For me it's not one movie, but for example movies like the Matrix have made me more wary of the use of technology and the possible negative effects it can have.

Re: Dislike of Technology

I read somewhere that they can "go bad", they are not really good to store data long term. The most reliable is still paper or stone, lasts 2k+ years, if stored properly ;)
