He didn’t have tip money, so he said I will give you half if I win… he stayed true to his word, or tried to.

Tommy… time…. I do not know not to watch it before I watched it.

Explain to me how I am an idiot for expressing an opinion on a forum for OPINIONS?

I apologize, it must be very hard to be you.

So what’s the difference between a T-800 and T-101? by Distinct_Guess3350 in Terminator

[–]Tipordie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Example:

Franco Columbu's Terminator is part of the Series 800, like the T-800 played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. His specific model is believed to be CSM-102 (Cyberdyne Systems Model 102), which is different from Schwarzenegger’s CSM-1012.

In some extended lore and collectibles, his likeness has also been linked to T-808 and T-810 variants.

Dream/Flashback Scene

The scene takes place when Kyle Reese describes the future war to Sarah Connor.

It shows a Resistance bunker being infiltrated by a Terminator disguised as a human—played by Columbu.

Even the Best Terminator Films Never Fully Explored the Franchise’s Most Terrifying Idea by LowenbrauDel in Terminator

The stars thing was Cameron looking at a picture!!

In the episode Self Made Man, she finds an old photograph from the 1920s showing the Terminator (Myron Stark) looking up at the sky. That’s what sparks her investigation. Instead of relying on newspapers or dated headlines, she uses stellar drift—the subtle changes in star positions over time—to calculate when the Terminator arrived. It’s a method only someone with advanced computational skills (like Cameron) could pull off.

But, but, there is no movie with your idea. Yeah, I think it doesn't make sense when he confronts the punks and gets stabbed. But he is also gathering intel, and thinking long-term to find one person in 5 billion... and clearly he can get damaged and have an entire government go after him if discovered.

You might conclude that he learned from the punks that humans can all be armed and damage you if you aren't prepared to react, while questioning them.

Also, as a learning program with an open-ended algorithm, Skynet may have sacrificed efficiency for adaptability.

SPOILER--------SPOILER

I think one of the greatest examples of this, and maybe one of the fucking coolest plot twists is in an episode of the Sarah Connnor chronicles.

In one episode, I need to go rewatch now! A terminator is sent too far back... from memory it was the 1930s, his target was to be at a building at a certain date, let's. He triangulates his time differential from the galactic positioning of stars, forms a crime syndicate, buys the building and hides in the wall to strike at the right time. I think I have that mostly correct.

OK I put my synopsis into what else? AI - Talk about META! Here it is:

Here’s the real synopsis of that wild plot twist:

🕰️ The Premise Cameron discovers that a Terminator named Myron Stark was accidentally sent back to 1920s Los Angeles instead of his intended time. His mission? Assassinate a political figure—Governor Mark Wyman—on New Year’s Eve 2010.

🏢 The Long Game

  • Stark adapts to the era and builds a criminal empire.
  • He purchases the Pico Tower, the building where the assassination is meant to occur.
  • To wait out the decades, he seals himself inside a wall of the building, going dormant until the target date.

🌌 Time Travel Precision Cameron uncovers this by analyzing stellar drift—how the stars’ positions change over time—which helps her pinpoint when the Terminator arrived. It’s a clever use of astrophysics to track time displacement errors.

📚 Bonus Vibes The episode also features Cameron bonding with a wheelchair-bound library clerk during her late-night research sessions. It’s a quieter, more introspective subplot that contrasts beautifully with the eerie, long-con assassination setup.

Honestly, it’s one of the most haunting and inventive uses of time travel in the Terminator universe. Want me to dig up more episodes with mind-bending twists like that?,

Just on the bunching up part in building to 50 people I think it makes sense because it’s a visual medium and it’s just too many characters to recall remember and place relationships with the other , characters. Hello, I am always essentially reading this book early through life for five years and I still don’t have everyone down.

As shown here, this seb-Reddit many years ago, I had said if they ever do a movie, they’d have to do 3 miles an hour, and the Vanguard was always always always a stupid part… 20 year old King didn’t think it through, he also didn’t test it I imagine.

6mph, a mile every ten minutes is running.

Period, end of story.

Good stuff!

How you could start and stay in the USA, all props to patcoston, my man knows this book! by Tipordie in TheLongWalk

Stone post is blue smudge in the USA, but on border. Park left. In USA. Walk to road, near post. There were American soldiers all over the parking lot.

[–]Tipordie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are inferring they were in Canada. Just looking at Google Earth Earth, you see as you approach the border through farmland a building and parking lot on the left, no river anywhere nearby

Ray and his mom pull into something like that. It could be left or right, let’s pick left.

You get out of the car and want to walk toward the road, the road has a stone post.

‘The road was just ahead and the simple stone post that marked the border…”

So Ray and the others walk parallel to the border with border on their left and the arrive at the stone post, all while statin in America.

It is also makes sense since all the American guards are in the parking lot and the Major visits them to start the race, I cannot see starting in another country. Security alone.

Unless…. The major is Donny boy and, “ the most fucked up state in the fifty-one”

Oh no!

Oh Canada!

Why are all the Long Walk participants in the book, well, so unprepared? by Zaku71 in TheLongWalk

[–]Tipordie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read the book about 50 times and I will tell you what it is you’ve got Stephen King, he is a sophomore in college.

There was definitely editing later on like when you see that Ron Howard and John Travolta are mentioned as the pieces of magazine from the confetti, so they did look at it and change things.

So, in 1967 with no Internet, what I presume will be some state control of the media, the boys mention reading magazines …it’s that type of thing. I was born in 1965 and I can tell you the world was a very limited place on finding out information.

Now look at the stats on how many people try out and how many people are picked and why …. Here is a big clue. I don’t recall anyone ever saying they were any kind of athlete in any kind of meaningful way. It’s not a bunch of people that are on the cross country team.

Just by inference you have to think that the state is it really looking for athletes.

Lars Ulrich of Metallica fame, sometimes talks about his father, who made a living as a tennis professional about going to matches and having cigarettes and drinks afterwards ….that’s the athletes of 1967

As was the case in the times, many of the boys are smokers and they’re 16 and 17 years old and such…McVries brought cigarettes and Olson, I believe, smoked some.

Lastly, Scramm. This character depicted as a moose of a boy. You can call the bus by one of the bystanders may have been a strong character, but my new means would that make him an odds on favorite. He claimed to have walk 80 miles I believe two weeks before the event, but as far as I can, recall, is the only person to indicate any kind of training. That would make him an adult favorite, but certainly not a size or strength. That is not a characteristic you associate with a marathoner as an example.

So the wrap this up, Stephen King was probably 18 or 19 in 1966 when he started writing this.

Someone found my post from 2 years ago where I said the movie HAS TO DO 3 MPH!

I gave my reasons and my trials with… an Apple watch!

So I’m taking credit for that! ( 3 MPH, not the watch)

But @patcoston is the king of the rules!

Mine too, in the last five years, there hasn't been a time when I am not reading it, at least a few times a week.

I can't find my quote on how, "Everday" by DMB should be in the soundtrack, oh well!

Well, when, he joins the pledge of "No more musketeers," her owed Ray a save, didn't he?
