For context, this is from terminator 2 where the protagonist is saved by his best friend in the first 30 min of the film by lying to a terminator cyborg from the future posing as a cop.
Be like John Connor’s friend and not like the bespeckled douche kid who pointed out where John was.
Be like Budnick!
I don’t know him and if I saw him, I don’t remember
Snitches get stitches.

Instructions unclear. Family stuck with funeral expenses they can’t afford.
Worst yet they repo the stitches

Yo I’m not sure I ever caught that in T2 (though admittedly, I haven’t watched it since I was in my teens)
It is in the arcade scene, if I recall.
Yeah the arcade scene near the beginning. John and his pal scam an ATM using some Atari thing then go to the arcade. T-1000 shows up, the friend lies to him, warns John. John runs out the back to encounter the T-800, who John doesn’t know is friendly yet, as he pulls a Gun from a box of Roses
Not many movies I can say the sequel was better than the original, but T2, 100%.
And that’s not to say the original terminator was bad or anything, they were different movies centered around a similar concept and I love em both.
But they had to keep making them for so long…
And the music playing was written BY one of the guys from Guns n’ Roses. Also his pal, the guy in the pic who initially misleads the T-1000 is called Tim.
Ah yes, I forgot his name was Tim.
I know You Could Be Mine was for the soundtrack and was playing while they were riding John’s dirt bike, but I don’t recall the music playing in the hallway when the T-800 appears.
I’m genuinely curious If any of you didn’t immediately know the context from this screenshot.
there must be someone, but it’s such an iconic movie that I’m curious if there is anyone who recognize it immediately.
I’ve seen the movie ages ago, didn’t remember this scene at all.
However, I recognized the T1000 actor immediately, so I knew it was from one of the terminator sequels, but not even immediately T2.
That’s a good question and easy to answer, so I’ll try: Anyone who didn’t see the movie, does not remember this scene. Glad I could help.
Its also 30 years old. Over a decade older than many legal adults. So it’s definitely possible.
Looks like any of hundreds of movies from that time. It’s been literal decades since I saw it, I was probably the same age my daughter is now. Once I read the reference I realized that I do recognize T1000, but I definitely don’t remember that kid.
As someone who doesn’t really watch movies, I didn’t.
thanks! first and only person unfamiliar with the scene out of a dozen responses.
cool
That’s one of the biggest problems with the internet. People think that because they’ve seen something three of four times the entire world knows about it. Probably everyone on lemmy has seen that movie, but there are plenty of people who don’t like science fiction or Arnold or action movies.
If you go by lemmy, Linux is more popular than Adele.
I haven’t seen it, I’m younger than the movie and nobody really talked about it in any significant capacity
[off topic]
Here are a few old movies that, imho, are well worth a watch. No particular order
The Dirty Dozen
The Magnificent 7
Body Heat
The Three Musketeers [Oliver Reed]
Altered States
enjoy
Not who you’re replying to but haven’t watched any of these, so thank you
Remember, it’s dangerous to talk to random strangers on the interwebs
Haven’t been murdered yet!
Edit: …and is that a threat？
No, it’s sarcasm.
Also watch Rocky and Jurassic Park.
Prophetic scene from the movie.
(He actually said “people,” not “humans,” though.)
It’s one of those movies that has had a cultural impact for decades after release. If you did watch it today you’d probably be surprised how many scenes you’re familiar with from various media it’s influenced and been parodied in since release.
Or maybe not. Cultural landscape has changed so much there isn’t really a monoculture that can refer back to previous highlights/milestones within itself.
If you didn’t catch the end of that time it may all be lost to you. Which doesn’t matter, but the first two terminator movies are really good if you’re into that kind of rhing. James Cameron before Titanic and Avatar.
Someone talked about seeing ‘The Sting’ for the first time. They couldn’t believe that anyone in the audience didn’t know all those cons, then realized that when the movie was made, all those gags were fresh.
Of course some people didn’t? It’s over thirty years old.
Edit: to put it into perspective, the movie’s release is closer to the breakup of the Beatles than to the present day.
I saw it in the theatres and didn’t get the context because it has been literal decades since I last watched it.
Saw it on beta. Never saw it since then.
Exactly. I recognised the T-1000 but didn’t recall the context of the scene.
No thanks fam, I’m going to continue believing the 90s were 10-15 years ago max. I’m not old, I’m just tired all the time, no more questions please.
I mean it’s a movie from the 90s. My wife hasn’t seen die hard… yet. That’s gonna change this holiday.
Best Christmas movie ever.
Nah. Gremlins. When Kate tells the story of how she found out there’s no Santa Claus…
Your wife might prefer The Long Kiss Goodnight. Peak Geena Davis as an amnesiac assassin teamed up with ex-cop Sam Jackson.
I still quote Sam Jackson’s “assumption” line regularly
The process by which one thing becomes a beloved icon and another fades away is always baffling to me.
I didn’t recognize it immediately. I haven’t watched it in a long time. It felt familiar though, and it all clicked as soon as I read “terminator 2”.
We’re old, friend.
I did, but then my family had this movie on VHS when I was younger and I’ve probably watched it like 100 times. It came on TV once when I was on the phone with my friend and I quoted all the lines just ahead of the TV. I bet that annoyed the shit out of her.
I was doing that the other day while my wife was watching Ace Ventura… Haven’t seen it in probably 20 years, doesn’t stop me… Your gun is digging into my hip…
Some people are kids.
Plus some people don’t watch movies, much less blockbuster acfion movies.
Terminator 2 is not a fantastic action movie.
It is a fantastic movie.
It is fantastic. It is also an action movie. That makes it a fantastic action movie.
Being an action movie is not a negative.
I couldn’t even tell that was a normal police badge, I’d assumed it was Battlestar, or some other old sci-fi I hadn’t seen. Definitely not a memorable enough scene from a sequel to an old action movie
come on man, we’re all huge Lucas fans, I know Temple of Doom when I see it
I love how the news is saying it’s an all out manhunt. Like how many people get shot in New York? They’re gonna shut down half of manhattan over this dead dickbag?
For the rich, they definitely would.
Not really though. A $10K award is the cops spitting on the man’s corpse.
I’ve never in my life smiled as much as I have today. Random Shooter can have anything he wants or needs from me, an ebike rental, a kidney, whatever. It’s utterly delightful and I hope it happens more often, and I say that shamelessly as a practicing Christian.
🙈🙊🙉
Yeah, on all platforms I’ve been to I’ve seen nothing but bitter jokes and snarky comments about the situation. Imagine being such a massive shitbag that nobody gives a damn when you are literally murdered in public and in broad daylight.
If your legacy is feeding off people’s misfortune and suffering then I’d say this outcome is part of the risk you took. What goes around, comes around. I don’t expect the leeches to learn from that tho.
These people run real death panels. You know the thing the GOP warned us about if the ACA was passed.
The number of times the GOP have done the exact thing they warned us that the Dems would do is too damn high.
It’s always projection.
Always.
Deny
Depose
DefendIf I see someone shop lifting food, no I didn’t. If I see someone shoot down a ceo in manhattan no I didn’t.
j. Non-permissive environment: An environment in which friendly forces anticipate obstructions to, or interference with, operations.
Corpo executives and billionaires about to find out that no matter the snitch line reward money they put up, people magically didn’t see anything.
Policing requires a degree of consent from the public, you’ll be turning away search party volunteers for a child kidnapping, but I don’t see a line of people ready to narc on shoplifting or drug possession.
That’s the biggest problem with militarizing the police.
You get cops who think they are the Punisher and citizens who hate the cops on the beat.
That, and it’s a health insurance company.
They can offer whatever rewatd they want. Their entire business model is based on promising to provide money before refusing to cough it up.
lol, good point
They’ll find ways to deny it. Saying that the information in and of itself was insufficient as they needed to send someone out there with a firearm, therefore providing further health insurance liabilities and therefore nullifies the reward.

I have no idea who that kid is, but if he’s old enough to drink now I’ll buy him a beer!
Guarantee that was the reporter’s kid

“who are you looking for?”
“a shooter”
“who did he shoot?”
“a healthcare ceo”
“oh cool high five”was probably not the response they were hoping for
