Emilia Clarke cast as Sarah Connor in Terminator reboot

[Guy Gardener]

Well consider all the men that have slept with some girl that looks like she's 22, but it turns out she's 15.

He has to go to jail for sleeping with her even if she didn't tell him her age or may have even lied about her age because it's a statute and not a guideline.

But, children who lie to adults about their age to get sex, should go to jail or be fined in the same manner that children trying to buy alcohol are fined or spend a night in jail.

The political term is "optics".

It means what something looks like irregardless of the facts, truth or context.

It's making the assumption that tens of thousands of asshole nut jobs are going to leap to unfounded positions on complicated situations they do not understand and then start shooting people literally and figuratively until they are apologized to.

She's four foot nine.

Some people foolishly mistake that for juvenilessence.

Not only that, but she looks tiny when standing next to Arnold. I'm sure on her own, in action, she'll come off as older. But in a still photo, standing next to giant, old Arnold, yeah, she's going to look like a kid.

Being short =/= being a child.

Many teenage boys are much taller than most women (and many adult men), anyway.

Sarah should look small next to the Terminator. Everyone should look small next to the Terminator.

Also, Emilia Clarke is 27 which is only one year younger than Linda Hamilton was when she played the part of Sarah Connor.

I don't care how old she ACTUALLY is... I'm responding to how she looks in the photo. Like a 14 year old girl. She looks short. She looks young.

The Sarah Connor I think of, when I think of Sarah Connor, is either Linda Hamilton from T2 or from the TV show. Someone who looks like they know how to hold a gun.

Uh, Linda Hamilton didn't look like that in The Terminator...

If this takes place while Kyle is still alive, she is not the experienced, trained Sarah from T2 or the TV show.

If she's 14, a lot of people here have to delete her boobs from their hard drives.

In that photo, she certainly looks like she's 14. You had better start deleting, just in case.

That would be a new one. Like, perhaps it should be illegal to feel attracted to, and have sexual relations with someone who only LOOKS like below legal age. Because when you feel attracted to someone who is 24, but looks 14, you're a creepy pedo-pervert.

That would be the inverse of "she (or he) may be 13, but she (or he) totally looks 20!"

My eyes hurt from seeing this non-word...

 

[Tosk]

Sometimes I'm surprised by the things that get argued about.

She looks 14! No she doesn't! Yes she does!

"Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that 'there is no such word.' There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance."

[Samurai8472]

She's four foot nine.

Google says 5 foot 2 inches

Linda Hamilton is 5 foot 6

 

[Professor Zoom]

Uh, Linda Hamilton didn't look like that in The Terminator...

Uh, that's why I wrote Linda Hamilton from T2.

 

[JoeZhang]

The bigger problem for me is that I don't think she's a particularly good actress - admittedly I've only seen her in GOT and it might be the direction she is getting but I find her pretty wooden.

Yeah, I kinda agree. Not Summer Glau wooden. But, close.

 

[DWF]

Granted I've only seen the first season of Game Of Thrones but she's hardly stiff, when she's given something to do she can be rather animated.

I looked it up the other day for other reasons.

Irregardless is a word commonly used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795.[1] Most dictionaries list it as "nonstandard" or "incorrect" usage, and recommend that "regardless" should be used instead.[2][3][4

Seventeen fucking ninety five is a long time ago, and general consensus should trump the 6 or seven librarians that give a damn about the erosion of the English language into garbage.

So yes, I used a word that is probably not real, but I also used it to fuck with the people who get fucked by things like that happening, so to those that were bothered, congratulations on successfully and wittingly being fucked by me, you're welcome.

Summer Glau was perfect as our T-900 Cameron though...

I really have no problem with how Emilia Clarke looks in the picture. The only thing that looks weird to me is she doesn't have white hair, and there are no dragons around.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I honestly appreciate Emilia's blonde hair better than her boobs and her ass put together.

 

[JD]

Her wig in GOT? I prefer her natural hair color, but I'm a brunette man anyways.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Oh, it's a wig? That's fantastic news!

That means that I can have one made and stick it on anyone I wish to be in love with, so that I never again have to sleep with a woman that I hate.

Unfortunately, I'm assuming that a wig of that quality costs more than a moderately sized second hand car.

I was actually wondering about her eyebrows the other day.

Even in the show she is still not a natural blonde.

She's still pretending not to be Bruenette?

What if she's really Robert Barathean's bastard child?

 

[Saul]

Jesus, this is a weird thread.

 

[Guy Gardener]

The 2 foot height difference between Arnold and Emilia is fine because their relationship is monster and prey.

I'm more curious about the height difference between Emilia and whosoever is going to play Kyle.

Wait for it...

Jai Courtney is almost 6 foot 1, and Emilia is almost 5 foot two.

11 inches.

Wow.

Of course, they can use movie magic and strategically positioned stacks of telephone books so that we never notice.

 

[JD]

Wow, I never realized was that short watching GOT.

 

[TheSeeker]

Jesus, this is a weird thread.

It's what I like to call the Guy Gardner Factor™.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Why can't they grow living flesh around a gun?

Or after seeing eXisitanZ, why couldn't they make a living gun?

Why can't they surgically put a gun inside a dog and then send it back?

Even stick a gun up it's ass and send it back.

If that sucker is nuclear... By forcing a controlled leak on it's reactor, the end effect, hair loss, death and infertility, wouldn't be much different than the mobile x-ray machines that the Nazi's were using to answer the Jewish problem.

Causing Sarah Conner to be infertile would be a good first step. Sure it would still have to confirm the kill, but it's nice to have some redundancy if she can run real good.

Golly.

Ripping a page out of the Phone book with 5 Sarah Connors in it?

Social media.

The Terminator would probably be using dating applications to draw Sarah out for anonymous sex, or at least the skanky low hanging fruit if it has multiple targets to work through to maybe find the real Sarah Connor.

He "friends" her on facebook.

OH! the irony, this is not that sort of friend you want to have Sarah!

...

I checked facebook.

on the fist page of results, there's a band called Sarah Connor, fan worship of the movies and TV show (and the band), and a nail salon.

I guess parents across the world decided that it was a bad idea to call their children Sarah Connor.
