‘Hey Shane, TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU STUPID F—ING BASTARD!’
I still have high hopes for Salvation though, my money’s on the T-600 bringing some old school scariness back with the rubber skin – Arnie in Terminator was way scarier than Robert Patrick.
If that fails, the DVD with Christian Bale’s commentary should do it…
Apparently there is some context to Christian Bale’s freak-out…
