EXTRA! EXTRA!
October 26th, 1984
The Terminator is released in U.S.
Theatres.
Having travelled back in time from
2029, one has to wonder if Termi-
nator could have some advance
knowledge of who will be elected
as Governor of California in 2003.
Perhaps this is what he means by “I
will be back”?
James Cameron directs this science
-fiction film starring Linda Hamil-
ton, Michael Biehn, and some
other cast member so unimportant
they don’t even bother to send him
to wardrobe. Or maybe he was just
too busy hitting the Craft Services
table after getting ‘pumped up’ at
the gym….
Reports have it that Orion Pictures
does not believe the film will per-
form well at the box office and they
fear a negative critical reception—
which means, of course, there will
be no franchise, no sequel, and no
reboot for this [obviously bootless]
cyborg.
We feel his pain.
