The past couple of days have seen a wild rumour about next year’s Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins crop up on AICN and soon after solidify by being backed up by CHUD.
The report very much spoils the big twist that makes up the film’s ending, so fans who don’t want to deprive themselves of the surprise are advised to avoid reading it.
However, director McG has meanwhile indirectly denied the legitimacy of those spoilers, claiming that “there are only three people who know the ending” in an official post on the film’s blog (in which he also gives an interesting update on the filming currently taking place in New Mexico).

‘It’s post-apocalyptic,’ explains Middleton ‘It’s set after the events of [Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines], where we see the nuclear exchange at the end of the movie, and we show what the world is like after this event, and we show how people try to deal in a post-apocalyptic world, and we introduce a new character, who becomes very important to the resistance and to John Connor, a new hero. It’s really about the birth of a new hero.’

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
