In addition to taking in the cinematic masterpiece that is Dolph Lundgren as The Punisher, I also found time last night to watch the season two premiere of The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

My reaction, as unloaded onto [livejournal.com profile] feiran: "SHIRLEY MANSON HAS THE AWESOMEST ACCENT EVER. ALSO, I THINK THEY HIRED HER BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T NEED WARDROBE/MAKEUP; SHE HAS HER OWN."

More spoilery reaction: Was that really the best place for her to lie about waiting to ambush that guy? What if the other guy hadn't left before he started unzipping?

And, YAY! A T-1000!!! No, shut up, I love the T-1000. I started watching The X-Files again after giving up on it because Robert Patrick was on. Shut up, he's awesome. Go watch Terminator 2 a hundred times and then pretend like you don't love him. Like when he's pretending to be John's foster mom, and the foster dad is being all douchey, and the T-1000 just switches the phone to the opposite hand so it can extend a metal spike into whiney jerkface's skull? (OMG, DUDE, YOU DRANK STRAIGHT FROM THE CARTON, YOU DESERVED IT.) Tell me you don't love that, and I'll kill you. Shut up!

I love everything about the T-1000 model. Because it appears that the T-1000 is the most put-upon, not-gonna-deal-with-your-shit, just-gonna-kill-you-now-and-like-it model to ever exist. The Arnie-bots (T-800 in the first movie, T-100 in the third, I believe) were just mostly simulating humanity whenever necessary, but, for the most part, ignoring it in favor of blowing this shit out of stuff because they could handle the damage and it didn't matter about anything else. The T-1000 was crafty, and it faked emotional responses so well, I swear to God, you could picture that this robot gets frustrated. Like, "For fuck's sake, I just killed eighty guys to get this far and you're telling me the Connors aren't even here? Do you know how badly I'm going to kill you so dead right now? And I still won't be happy because I'm incapable of being happy while my mission is still not finished? Fuck, man." Not terminating shit really puts him off his day.

And now Shirley Manson is all "PEOPLE SUCK SOMETIMES, GOD I JUST WANT TO KILL THEM OH WAIT I CAN!"

LOVE IT

You heard it here first, apparently. :)

Yes, indeed, the Shirley Manson. In all her tweaked out glory. I swear, she looks like she walked off a video.
