I've never even watched the films.
Absolutely unacceptable.

We need an O'Terminator to hunt down this woman and make her watch them.
Regular Terminator: AFFIRMATIVE.
New, improved, Irish O'Terminator: TOP OF THE MORNING, LADS.
Not a phrase used in Ireland, but it made me laugh.
What’s the best Irish saying that is basically “I’ll be back”/“see you later”
You slap your thighs while getting up from a chair and say 'Well...'
Alternatively, one can say 'Take care', which is my personal favourite.
Very popular in the Midwest US, too. Though it's often "Welp," instead of "Well"

NEVER FIGHT UPHILL, ME BOYS!
I was saying yesterday you never hear jokes anymore so here's one:
An Irishman walks into a bar, orders three pints of Guinness, and sits in the corner, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches him and asks, "You know, they'll go flat after a while."
The Irishman replies, "You see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other is in Australia, and since we parted ways, I've not seen either of them. By ordering three beers, I am able to toast them both wherever they are."
The bartender, touched by this gesture, decides not to intervene, and the Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, always ordering three beers and toasting his brothers.
One day, he comes in and orders only two pints. Sensing something amiss, the bartender inquires, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss. Was it your brother from America or your brother from Australia?"
The Irishman replies, "Oh, no, neither of them has died. I've just given up the drink."

The only terminator movies worth watching were made before she was born.
Luckily we have this nifty technology that allows you to watch movies that came out years ago. It's called "time travel".
The best part about time travel is that if it's ever invented then it already has been.
The worst part about it always having been is the astronaut shooting you in the head.

That's actually what Terminator is going to be about. There was a recent interview with the director, James Cameron, where he mentioned something about time travel. He didn't want to spoil it before it releases though.
I'm excited to see it in theaters when it comes out!

Imagine how cool would be if there was a way to see movies after they were released on cinemas.

Sarah O'Connor's inbox after tweeting this:
Did a robot kill a worker, or did someone improperly bypass a safety system and get themselves killed? If it has the name "robot" the human interactions should be limited and strictly defined.
Robots don’t kill people, people kill people.
Also you forgot the more likely scenario of, someone in charge made someone below them do something unsafe and got them killed.
Gotta cut those corners to maximize value for the shareholders! Employee death is just the cost of doing business.

What human being has never watched Terminator? I'm guessing Sarah O'Connor is probably a Skynet ambassador who was bragging about their first confirmed kill.
Nobody's exposed to everything. I've never watched A Christmas Story and I don't care to. I've never watched Back to the Future either, though it's been on TV while I wasn't paying attention. I'd watch those three though if I had someone to watch them with. I did however finally watch It's a Wonderful Life for the first time last Christmas. Except for some of the angel stuff, it's held up really well, and it had a really positive impact on me.
It's a Wonderful Life is an amazing movie. I still watch it every few years at Christmas time.
Back to the Future is fun. The whole series is fun. Idk how well it has held up since I haven't seen it in a long time, but as a kid they were a hoot. Watch them with a kid if you have any kids in your life.
If not you can often just find them at the park, they struggle a bit but they’re otherwise free.
Haha! It took me a minute to figure out what you meant, and then I laughed out loud for real.
I haven't watched it 😛
Sure thing T_100.
gen z and alpha
Most people who were of movie going age when the third one came out. Would you go back and watch the first two if your first exposure to the series was Rise of the Machines?

While I believe I have seen terminator 2, dunno about 1, but there are a ton of movies people think everyone has seen or should see that I have not. Some I even own (like Iron Giant).

I had an idea for a parody where the Terminator is sent to kill the dude who will become the leader of human resistance, with the twist that Arnie is sent by the humans because turns out the guy sucks as a leader.
I don't get it, because I don't watch films either
Sarah Connor is the lead protagonist in the first Terminator movie. The terminator is a robot sent back to the past to kill Sarah, as she will lead the rebellion against the robots in the future.
Hate (love) to be that guy, but the terminator hunts her because she will give birth to her son, who is the rebel leader in the future. With the father being the time traveler soldier sent to protect her from the terminator.
Hate to be that guy, but given that she clearly instructs and directs John (as seen in the second film), she's leading the leader, thus making her the true leader the whole time
That's a really big stretch. Is my school teacher the person who achieved whatever it is I am doing, or am I? Are my parents?
Not to diminish her badassery, she is one of my favorite female movie leads, but to say she leads the resistance is simply wrong. She is dead by that time. She does, as you point out, drill her son in survival skills, military tactics, guerilla warfare, everything he will need to succeed.
But that still doesn't mean she is the leader of the resistance. By that logic the actual leader would be kyle (the soldier from the first) because he teaches the one who teaches the leader.
Hate to be that guy but he was a kid in that movie. He went on to be the rebel leader, without mom, as an adult, which is what the robots were trying to prevent

This is an old meme but it still checks out.
I find that unlikely.
