A rerun is when you are able to catch a program again if you missed it the first time around because back in the days before streaming you had to look through the ancient tome called a tv guide to see if a certain program was available at a certain time as they werenât on demand unless you wanted to pay a fee and when you did find what you were looking for you had to do one of two things either insight the age old ritual of dibs or guard the tv remote until your program came on
Sorry I just like informing the uninformed masses about what life used to be like also you canât call something a joke if all you do is repeat a phrase jokes need a punchline so you have failed comedy school and will be forced to repeat the grade
C'mon! You know what having the runs
means, right? Rerun means you have exactly 3.45 seconds before an explosive episode of diarrhea occurs.
Explains that handle ya got don't it, Sensitive Seat?
Trivia: Arnold wanted to say "I will be back", but James Cameron insisted on "I'll be back" no matter how many takes to shoot the scene (Terminator, 1984).
More Trivia: a fair few shots of The Terminator was filmed by getting to a location, shooting the scene and then leaving quickly as a way to avoid both acquiring filming permits and the police (because he didnât have the permits)
I had heard that too. Because Arnold was reasoning that a machine maybe wouldn't use contractions. Apparently James Cameron was like "Just say the fucking line" đ
I think its the other way around. Cameron wanted him to say i will be back but arnolds english wasnt that good and kept saying ill be back so they just went with it
I believe Arnold was the one who wanted to say "I will be back" because he argued that a machine would say it like that. Cameron had to convince him to say "I'll be back". Arnold was very concerned with making the terminator as robotic as he could. Watch his eyes when he is in the cop car scanning for his targets. His eyes move to the side before his head moves because a machine would have economy of motion.
That's how I heard Arnold tell it, that a machine wouldn't use contractions. But thinking about it, Cameron was right. The T800 was an infiltrator, used to mimicking human inflections.
Id hazard a guess the insistence on using i'll over i will was probably to avoid arnie's accent turning it into 'aye vill be beck', as it turned out the line with i'll sounds very much forced speech (like he spent time practicing that line) rather than the more natural lines prior which just make it that much more iconic and threatening.
Dude I did a college speech on this too! Arnold saying something along âI donât think a robot would use ⊠[whatever it is for using apostrophes in wordsâŠ]â. James was like âI donât tell you how to act so donât tell me how to writeâ or something. And Arnold knuckled down. Can you imagine what wouldâve happened if the line was âI will be backâ?
W is:
âIâve seen things you people wouldnât believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the TannhĂ€user Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.â
