Wow, has it really been 17 years since the war against the machines began?
Where does the time go?
Where does time go? The whole thing has to do with time travel. Did you not pick up on that?
This year we had a choice. The 2000 Ultimate Edition DVD or the 1991 LaserDisc.
The DVD case is soooo shinyThe Ultimate Edition was the first DVD I ever bought. I'm pretty sure I've seen it every year since. Probably more often than that back in the halcyon days of only owning a handful of DVDs. My wife has only ever seen that version of the movie with its 19 or so minutes of extra footage.
Since we got the LaserDisc version this year, and because, lasers, we went with the big disc.
At first I thought this was going to be a Rambo movieOne thing LaserDiscs often have in contrast to DVDs is a wider dynamic range for the audio, meaning the quiet parts are quieter and the louder parts are louder. We've noticed this before on the couple other movies we have on both LD and DVD but on Terminator 2.......it's AWESOME!
The transitions from quiet parts to loud ones is great. It's the audio version of when movies go from long dark scenes to bright day ones, or like in Pitch Black where the screen fades out to complete blackness.
After walking through the worst clean room set up ever.....My wife was really into it. She even let social media know how great the sound was on this version of the movie, more than once.
It's only like the best arcade game everAt one point our 1400 watt subwoofer shook something off a shelf so we decided to take a break and make popcorn.
I got a little sumpin' extra!This version of the movie also has that one guy in it......
Yeah, pretty sure he was known for being in Double Dragon:
Anyways, this is one of those movies we watch on a certain day every year, thanks for the reminder Zagnorch!
