The Obligatory Terminator Post

You're a good guy! You're a good guy! FOR FUCKS SAKE!

So we enter the fourth Friday of the summer movie season and the fourth straight opening of a supposed blockbuster. It's unreal how a lead up to a multi-million dollar budget movie can fall flat and forgotten after it opens. I know why, I just find it unreal to me.

Anyways, be guaranteed to forget about Terminator Salvation half way through next week. This is the movie of Christian Bale's infamous tirade on the lighting guy or director of photography or grip guy or the fluffer...they have fluffers in regular, non-f*ck pictures, right? I'm not really in any desire to place opinion on the recorded rant except that if you've seen Bale's movies up until now, you definitely saw it coming. (The highlight of his madness, obviously, came through in American Psycho.)

We also got Common (aka Dow Jones), some chick named Moon Bloodgood, Sam Worthington (who apparently shows up Bale's performance in this one), Bryce Dallas Howard (she showed her cooter in a legitimate movie once), and freakin' Charlie Bartlett (man, he's everywhere in the summer movie sked. He has to have one good agent).

I'm already predisposed on the Terminator saga with T2 being my favorite. But have you ever wondered why those Terminators go back in time nekkid and such?

College Humor might have an answer:

Common is Dow Jones

Common is pretty ill when it comes to the mic. In fact, rollin' up today into the 7-Eleven, I blasted "I Used to Love H.E.R." by the Chicago rapper in my hooptie. Now he's apparently acting.

Smokin' Aces. Wanted. Street Kings. And soon, Terminator Salvation. I see him as a too cool for school consigliere to a mafia or gang but not some parody filming jive turkey.

So with that said, this is his Funnyordie.com vid (click here to watch) for Dow Jones, which is basically a blaxploitation look at the economy. Common takes out the whiteys in this one. And when Dow Jones gets down, he's always up for the ladies.

Not really my kinda modern blaxploitation fare. I reserve that for Black Dynamite. Trailer below. Yes, they actually made this movie.
