I like this tidbit from Schwarzenegger about the original Terminator film

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Jun 25 '15, 10:07

Not all of Stern’s far-ranging conversation with Schwarzenegger was so serious. The star also discussed a bit of trivia perhaps unknown to those not versed in 1980s action lore: Schwarzenegger argued with “Terminator” director James Cameron about the famous line “I’ll be back.”

“Why don’t we say ‘I will be back?'” Schwarzenegger said he suggested to Cameron, saying a machine wouldn’t use the contraction.

Cameron vociferously disagreed, Schwarzenegger said.

“I don’t correct your acting, so don’t correct my f—— writing,” Schwarzenegger said Cameron said. “What’s the matter with you, Arnold?”

as an aside, I got very big kick out of Linda Hamilton using the 'Come with me if you want to live' line on Defiance last week. -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 10:20 4

- That's still on? And people still watch it? I gave up after the first season. Did it get better? -- nm - sycor Jun 25, 10:21 1
  - Oh its great summer scifi fare. I personally love it. But the insanely hot ensemble of actresses on it, definitely doesnt hurt it. -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 10:25

So Cameron's a dick? I'm shocked. - Mop Jun 25, 10:10 1
- "Machines don't use contractions" is a trope with no basis in reality. I've seen plenty of machines use contractions. - Beryllium Jun 25, 10:12
