There were 50 and 60 year old women in WW??
This interested me more than anything.
Right? These movies better be good.

Dantes Peak reboot when
Look at his IMDB page. He has had 2-3 acting roles almost every year for the past decade. 2000-2005 were his worst years, but even there he did roughly 1 movie per year.
Plenty of other "has-beens" just move on to some kind of normal day job, though. Or find jobs as directors, editors and other behind-the-camera work.

Yeah, that quote seems like he's still trying to win that argument while missing the range of ages of the Amazonians.

Robin Wright is 50 years old.......though her role in that film is little more than a cameo. And she doesn't kill any bad guys.

I'm still expecting this to wind up being "Part 3 of the Failed Terminator Trilogy Starters Trilogy".

in the title. Thats how good the originals were, that I can keep doing this to myself for decades and it doesn't really bother me. Because if they can capture even half of what made the originals good, then automatically thats at least worth a matinee.

She was gone within the first 30 minutes of the film. I would think Sarah might stick around a bit longer than that.
Yup. It's important like Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross.

WAOW!
quite shocked, honestly
EDIT: anyone else guessing that these new sequels will use multiple split-timelines theory to justify the existence of T3, Salvation, TSCC, and Genysis?
Does she have more than a dozen lines in the entire film? I couldn't help but feel like they hired her and then significantly scaled back the character she was meant to play.
Seriously. Give him money, motivation, and encouragement, dude could be in shape by showtime.
May want to rethink the latter:
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves!

Etta Candy had just about as much screen time

So unless you get more than 30 minutes of screentime and 12 lines, you don't count.
Okay. Cool cool.

Etta Candy had just about as much screen time and I found her a lot more entertaining. So sure, Robin Wright counts too.
Given it basically rewrote the original Terminator, everything thereafter is theoretically open to change. If Cameron and co. do want to keep continuity, Genisys, as shambolic as it was, is what should make it possible for Hamilton's Connor to still be alive post-1997.
Anyway, the Terminators have been crap since T2, so not holding out any hope here.
EDIT: Just remembered Sarah Connor Chronicles, which was pretty good, title aside. I liked Lena Headey as Sarah, too, even if she was quite different to Hamilton's original.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
A washed up John Connor could be a cool idea. Dude lived off the grid, Judgement Day never came, so now he's some grizzled weirdo in a shack.
Linda coming back is cool. I'm kinda at the point where I don't give a shit though. They've fucked up so many times that I just *shrug* and hope for the best. This also applies to Alien.

Wait, if they're bringing back Linda, does that mean they're bringing back John too?
That didn't stop people from being mad about Sarah being different in Genisys.

Just like the argument that Robin Wright's cameo was anything more than that.
Genesis undid the good movies while also being shit so it was begging for it.
That's what they're doing.

But it's not a cameo, so like
look, nevermind. You got a pair of goalposts on your back and that shit takes concentration to move all by yourself. You don't wanna pull nothin. I get it. blow a hammy, blow an o-ring. Shit is painful!

Is it really a cameo if she's a major supporting character in the first act?
Alfred Hitchcock's brief appearances in his films are cameos. Stan Lee's brief appearances are cameos. Robin Wright's role was definitely not a cameo. You can argue that she should have had a meatier role, but to say that she had a "cameo" is just 100% wrong.

Linda Hamilton in a new Terminator movie. What a time to be alive.

I withdraw the comparison to He-Man on the grounds that not even He-Man would have equivocated like Ryu's doin. He'd have recognized both examples as listed without trying to erase them.
Prince Adam is noble, after all.
Goyer gets a lifetime pass from me for writing Death Warrant.

Cameo is purposefully hyperbolic, friend.
Vasquez was a solid supporting actress to Ripley by comparison to Robin Wright to Diana.
Robin Wright existed solely as
loss motivation for Diana. Nothing more.
