I'm more interested in that Metal Gear Solid RISK board game Dan seems to have tucked under his desk!

Also, as a sucker for time travel paradoxes, I'm looking forward to see what sort of timeline fuckery they get up to :)

Dan makes me pull my hair out, but for some reason seeing him not excited about something he wants to be excited about kind of makes me sad.

If you think calling a movie "Genisys" is a good idea, then you're probably not going to make a good movie.

I think the original Terminator is the best, for the record. I know there was some botching about the Jurrasic World and Star Wars 7 trailers, but I cannot see a world where Genisys comes out and is a good movie.

For a second, I thought Dan was going to love every second of it. I'm glad to see I was wrong.

Aw, poor Dan being peer pressured into not being himself. But really, tho. Genisys looks real bad cuz it's going to retcon both T1 and T2 out of existence.

Huh, "interesting" concept for a video.

I think the movie looks bad. I like dumb stuff, but I think this movie looks bad.

I also don't like the new Sarah Connor. She just doesn't look enough like Linda Hamilton to me.

Plot seems good but the graphics look bad. Maybe they are focusing more on story then eye candy.

C'mon...I think this looks pretty good. It's obviously not going to be T2-good, but it at least looks like a proper Terminator movie, unlike Salvation. I'm sure it'll at least be fun.

"COME WITH ME IF YOU WANNA LIVE"

"I'LL BE BACK"

This is the Expendables 2/3 of Terminator films. Make it stop.

P.S. Inb4 a love story between a terminator and Sarah Connor.

Poor Dan is hurting and that makes me sad. Not even his boundless bad taste can make this seem like anything less than a terrible idea for a movie.

The tail end of season two was great and that cliffhanger! I wish they'd just release the notes so I can know what happens. The third faction stuff was really interesting!

That trailer suggests otherwise. I mean, it'd have to go a long way to actually be worse, but it looks like a worthy sequel (prequel?) to those shitfests.
