"Chill Out, Dickwad."


Terminator 2: Judgment Day
James Cameron, 1991

Again, watched in the context of a screenwriting class. I've had two screenwriting professors extol T2 as the way an action film should be written.

Since I didn't live in a cave my entire life, I had seen this movie previously. I enjoy it, but the moments of sappy dialogue (I'm not sure if it's the writing or Furlong's delivery) kill me every time.

"We're not gonna make it are we? People I mean."

"I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do."


Despite a few shortcomings, I can see why this film is so well respected by the public and critics alike.

Liked it.
