It was funny to see Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was so young, who would’ve thought he’d become the major of California? His entrance is quite epic, a flurry of electricity licking that big yellow tractor thing. The electricity is so obviously fake, but it works well in that retro sort of way. But his curled over silhouette as the smoke slowly dissipates looks so cool, even 20 years later. He does a good job at walking around with that stiff robot look, although sometimes its pretty doofy looking he’s still very intimidating. It’s interesting though that they have the technology to send him way back in time, but not to send him back with clothes on. It’s interesting how humanity is so intrigued with its own destruction. Whether were being overtaken by robots, or zombies or vampires, the idea of being completely overrun by another species has long captured our imagination. Maybe we’ve realized how badly we’ve messed up our world, given up hope at every fixing it, and the idea of some other force outside our control sweeping in an taking over is almost relieving. Maybe by reducing us to nothing they would help us refocus and forget all the stupid irrelevant things which dominate and corrupt our world. Maybe if we were reduced to nothing we could finally work together and find the strength we need to make a real change in the world.
