Oh, who cares.
...aggghh....jesus...just...bluhh...<br /><br />Oh, who cares.<br /><br />By the time Bale played Connor (probably his weakest performance to date that I know of!) it became apparent to me that there's little reason to care who plays him. He was barely a "character" in T:Salvation, more of just an idea of "hero." <br /><br />Is Sam Worthington still even acting? Dude fell off the map. B.

What'd that be, the twelfth person to play Connor? Remember when you posted about how they effed up and claimed John was supposed to be 10 in T2, which would mean the movie would have been set in 1995, but Judgment Day was 1997 and Edward Furlong would have been like 14? I wonder if this movie will do anything like that.<br /><br />(Not to mention the idea of mullet-headed kids on motorcycles listening to Guns n' Roses in 1995!) <br /><br />Also Sarah was supposed to be like 19, according to the script. Kyle Reese wasn't supposed to be very old either, like 21 IIRC. Both Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn were technically way too old! B.
