Doesn’t a Terminator’s organic skin begin to rot eventually? How does he fake eating meals and stuff?

Yes, but like all things that make sense with this premise, it was abandoned after the first movie

[wulfenlord]

I liked the premise and tone of T4: Salvation army. Way more than I did T3, which was just good for the memes about shitting on everything iconic about T2.

In a perfect world we would've gotten a proper Christian Bale trilogy, but we have Drumpf's second term, so whatever.

[Old Black Man]

Glad I’m not alone there. A trilogy building up to the only two movies that matter.

The Virgin streamer has a bunch of stupid Terminator movies to reckon with.

The Chad physical media collector just sticks with the ones he likes and ignores all of the rest.

The only Terminator movie that I really care about is the first one. I acknowledge that the second one is cool, but also unnecessary. The rest can fuck right off. I don't even think about them.

More like the Chad torrenter.

I know somebody who has a shitty Walmart double pack of T1 and Genesis. No T2, no other shitty sequels.

Decided to delve into John Carpenter's filmography. I've seen Dark Star, Halloween and the Thing. What is the consensus here about his other films? What's good, what's bad and what's ugly?

Imo John Carpenter is like Don Bluth; good, solid movies (some of them masterpieces even) in the first half of his career, embarrassing stinkers in the second.

Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness, like The Thing, are part of his trilogy about the end of the world.
They aren't as good as The Thing, but frankly The Thing is one of the best movies i've ever watched.
Prince of Darkness (with Alice Cooper as a possessed hobo) is a scary, dark and gruesome horror about the return of the AntiChrist, son of the AntiGod.
In the Mouth of Madness is enjoyable but imo disappointing; it's part of the second era, and it's campy rather than scary.

Escape from New York is the sci-fi action movie whose protagonist was copied by Soyjima when he created Solid Snake.
New York has been converted into a giant prison, the Air Force One crashes into it, Kurt Russel and his eye patch has to rescue the president.
It's fine, but i'm not a big fan.
The sequel, Escape from LA, is stupid and sucks. It's one of those movies (of the second era) that only Razorfag likes because of the muscly men with big, long guns.

Assault on Precinct 13, like Prince of Darkness and Ghost of Mars, has characters trapped in a location under siege.
The location is a police precinct about to be closed down, and the villains are a multiracial gang of fanatical murderers who want to avenge one of their own. EDIT: Six of their own.
It's good.
Ghost of Mars, on the other hand, has Jason Statham in it. It's a piece of shit like every other movie with Jason Statham, part of the second era, and the movie that made me lose any faith for any new Carpenter's project.

Big Trouble in Little China is a very funny, very enjoyable action comedy. One of the villains was copied by the Mortal Kombat soyboys when they created Raiden.

The Fog is a fine slasher like Halloween, with zombie fishermen.

They Live is a good sci-fi action movie, with an equal measure of horror and comedy.
A drifter played by a wrassler discovers that the American elites are aliens in disguise.
Leftoids claim the aliens represent capitalism, Rightoids claim they are Jews.

Christine, like the Shining, it's an adaptation of a King's book that surpasses the source material. I don't know if King bitched about this one too, but he can eat Trump's dick as far as i'm concerned.

Halloween 2 is considered much worse than the first one, imo it's more of the same.

Memories of an Invisible Man is a comedy inspired by the Invisible Man novel.
I believe i've only watched it once as a kid, i think it was fine.

Village of the Damned is a remake like The Thing, starring Superman and Luke SkinWalker.
Unlike The Thing it's not better than the original, it may be worse.

I don't think i've ever watched Eyes of Laura Mars and Starman.

Vampires. Do you like From Dusk Till Dawn? If yes you'll like this one. I don't.

His last movie was The Ward, starring Amber Turd. Not going to watch that one.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

For it's flaws, I postulate that In the Mouth of Madness is still one of the better Lovecraftian movies we're ever gonna get.

Big Trouble in Little China needs no further introduction. One of the best movies of all time.

The Fog is a personal favorite of mine. Probably didn't have much of a budget, but it makes pretty good use of fog as a source of dread I haven't seen outside of 2007's The Mist.

Christine is superior to Maximum Overdrive in every perceivable way (unless you like Green Goblin trucks).
