A show that got TREMINATED way too soon

DIRECTIVE:Reveal Something about Terminator History.
TARGET:Everyone who reads Day life of the Matt.

Hey how is everyone,
I think almost anyone will know this scene from a movie called THE TERMINATOR, but can anyone recall the Terminator's line to the police officer? It is after he looks around "I'LL BE BACK"and after that he comes crashing into the police office with a police car. Read on to find out more about the Terminator's creators what was spawned from this little gem of a movie. As you all know I am a BIG fan of anything Sci-Fi no matter what form it is in like a book, or a Television series or even a movie series as well. The writer/director whom recently came out with the movie known as AVATAR , which is about a man who has to decide which of two worlds is more important to him and also what is important about how he sees the two worlds in himself, the guy whom wrote and directed this film is named James Cameron. Who has many great blockbuster films besides AVATAR under his belt in fact back in the late eighties with his production company CANNON he was to make the live action Spider-Man feature film. In fact I have a couple of James Camerish inspired Spider-Man movie posters right here: and here is a link to see other fan based Spider-Man by James Cameron - Commentary about fan-posters inspired posters of SPIDER-MAN the movie. Your probably wondering why the one that looks like the Jack Kirby/Alex Ross cover of Amazing Fantasy # 15 has a "R" rating, well this is because Cameron's Script had Spider-Man & Mary Jane having an adult situation between them and say NO MORE. I'm not here to talk about Spidey this time, instead this is about a movie series that Cameron and his then wife Gale Anne Hurd made way back in the early eighties called
THE TERMINATOR. Ah yes that was governor Schwarzenegger of California whom played the title character in the film about a killer cyborg sent back through time to kill the mother of humankind's last chance to fight against the Terminators her son John Connor. Whom from the future sent a fellow resistance fighter known as Kyle Reese to protect his unknown mother Sarah Connor, who was played by Linda Hamilton, whom later became to be known as Ms.Cameron. We learn that while on the run from the Terminator that how John comes to be is that whilst protecting her Kyle and Sarah fall in love with each other from as how Kyle tells it a picture that the John he knows gave him from the time that is now and he came across time to meet the legend. The film ends with Reese dead and Sarah knowing that she is on the road to the uncertain future for now anyway...that was in 1984. I myself didn't see the film till late nineteen ninety with my friend Steve, when we were graduating the follow year from HANDFORD HIGH the long awaited squeal to THE TERMINATOR was released it was called TERMINATOR 2, JUDGMENT DAY. I had just seen THE TERMINATOR on VHS (Who remembers that form of viewing a movie these days, when you have a DVD player or a Blue RAY player type of machine now), with my friend named Steve.TERMINATOR 2,Judgment Day was also I believe the first time in a long time that a movie title was referred to in two ways the other title for this movie was T2. In the story of this one Sarah Connor is in a mental psych ward away from her young son John whom is being raised by foster parents because the state of California won't believe her story of a machine that wants to kill her and her son John, from the future comes another pair of Terminators one like before called T-8oo model which came after Sarah herself in the first film and the other is a more advanced model known as T-1000 which is comprised of a liquid metal and can take the form of anyone closest to it's target. The T-8oo model along with John and Sarah Connor try to stop that future from coming true of Skynet whom is a machine itself from ever existing.
The film company known as Warner Brothers brought the rights to make more TERMINATOR projects from James Came
ron in early two thousand and two. Meanwhile before this came to be there was over twelve years of time in which comic book companies Dark Horse,Marvel Comics, and Detective Comics got to tell their versions of James Cameron's characters. Warner Brothers came out with Terminator 3, Rise of the Machines in two thousand and three. In this story (which as I understand it is the worst of everything Terminator put out thus far), had a grown John Connor and his wife on the run from Skynet's plan to eliminate Connor since his mother was dead according to the back story. They were running from a female Terminator but sadly this was officially Arnold Schwarzengger last hooray before coming to be governor of California....oh wait your saying right but isn't he in the one Terminator movie from last year in two thousand and nine titled Terminator Salvation. Only briefly is Arnold in this one only to show his model's creation this film happen to have a AVATAR star in it as the character Kyle Reese I believe I haven't seen this one yet. I do know it does star BATMAN BEGINS & THE DARK KNIGHT'S Bruce Wayne character of Christian Bale as John Connor. Am I forgetting something for wasn't there a Terminator television series on not long ago called Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles and this very post is about that very series but where does it fit in Terminator lore?....For Now,Terminate Transmission
