Sony has released a new international motion movie poster for Terminator Salvation. It starts off with an aerial view of an American city (Los Angeles 2009, says the legend), then two “explosions” dot the poster, before the whole thing morphs into the exoskeleton of a Terminator face. Watch it in full motion after the jump.

The film is about modern day relationships and how men and women often misconstrue the intentions of the opposite sex. The authors of the book that the film is based on were consultant and story editors on Sex and the City, which might give you a good idea what to expect.
The film has a wonderful cast: Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Justin Long, Ben Affleck, Kevin Connolly

So, let’s begin with what I DON’T want to happen.

Michael cannot die. That would be so utterly pointless. Let me give you an example. For those of you who watch Lost, I recently learned that they had intended to kill Jack (Matthew Fox’s character) very early in season 1. However, shortly before filming the pilot the studio realized that it would be damaging to the fans to become invested in that character only to have him die off so quickly. So imagine that, ABC didn’t want to kill off a character after only 1 or 2 episodes and he went on to become a main character. Think about how much the audience has invested in Michael. Killing him off after 4 seasons would be a horrible mistake. Giving him a tumor and having him get surgery is acceptable, because despite these trials, I am absolutely convinced that he will survive. But killing him is unacceptable, in the same way that killing Sara was a very bad idea. What was the point of that? Was saving her life not enough motivation for Michael? In all honesty, we have to wonder whether the “death” of Sara in season 3 was a catalyst for declining ratings. We don’t really know, but I do know that killing the main character of a show is not the ending I want. It would completely invalidate the rest of the series.

You cannot end the series in the same manner you ended seasons 1 though 3. Remember the Fox River 8 running off into the field at the end of season 1, or Michael walking into Sona at the end of season 2, or Michael driving off with vengeance on the brain at the end of season 3? All of those endings were unfinished and they were acceptable as season endings, because we knew that the show would return to finish off that logical train of thought. But you cannot leave things unfinished in a series ending. Anyone remember Buffy? In the last episode her hometown was destroyed and there were questions about what they would do next, but there was a measure of finality in the series. She had defeated her worst enemy and the hellmouth was closed. If you’re going to end a show, you need closure. Otherwise, people will always remember it as that show that didn’t really have an ending.

The new Movie Trailer for JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek is attached to Quantum of Solace.

Twilight is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands – and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

Twilight falls November 21, 2008.
