Director McG presented never-before-seen footage during a Comic-Con panel and offered a few hints about what to expect from the highly anticipated fourth installment in the "Terminator" franchise.
The first few words of that paragraph don't really make sense when you consider who it is they're talking about. Everything he does is the same. We've seen itall before.
I'll give you a quick run-down of a scene from "McGs Terminator". I haven't actually seen the script, but this is pretty much a guaranteed shot description.
EXT: Warehouse district near ocean at sunset.
The dying rays of light from the Thursday evening sun cascade off the glistening skin of ( insert actress name with surgically enhanced features ) as she walks toward the camera in slow motion.
Cue Music ( insert latest electronic influenced Top 40 track that you've heard 174 times this week )
Three T-6969 robots rip through a time portal in the air in a spinning back-flip sequence ( personal note: get with MTV to see If I can get the rights to direct the music video for this too ) and fire off perfectly synchronized shots from guns mounted to their legs. ( personal note 2: what if the guns were coming out of their "breats". ) ( personal note 3: do terminator robots have breasts ).
Our heroine drops into a 360-spinning-side-kick and sweeps the evil robots onto their backs ( camera note: be sure that all this is in slow-motion too )
Cue overly used rap-track remix from Kanye West.
The robots and heroine are locked in close-quarters hand-to-hand combat. ( personal note 4: can we have this really overt sexual tension between the robots and the other chick? Can they do-it in one scene? )
Cue next overlapping track that now makes this out to be glorified music video that has nothing to do with Terminators at all ( personal note 5: don't call MTV, just submit this to network. Should sweep at awards ceremony ).
Giant explosions appear in the sky from out of no-where.......
You kind of get where this is going.
If you don't know who McG is - well, if you don't, consider yourself blessed - all you have to do is watch either of the Charlie's Angels movies. Yeah, he directed those pieces of theatrical excrement.
