We are proud to present the fourth of the four horsemen of the A.L. rantfest, comedian Josh Goguen.\u00a0\u00a0 Josh is a comedian who has performed in NY, Philly, NC, and a bunch of other places. He is also helped produce the Arsenic Lullaby pilot cartoon, did voice acting, helped me write the pitch for Nickelodeon and is one of my go to guys when I can’t decide which way to go with a joke.\u00a0 He’s also a good looking fella, so good looking he sometimes gets mistaken for me, so all you ladies looking to get in my pants at a comic-con better figure out how to tell us apart because he’s married.

Let me start this by saying, I have always been a big fan of the Terminator movies.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks to parents that didn\u2019t seem to care about parenting, I not only watched the first Terminator when I was 8. I watched it repeatedly once it came to VHS\u2026.alone. I don’t know what my parents were doing.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When the Terminator 2 came out, I was 13. We\u2019ve already established that my parents didn\u2019t seem to have a clue as to what is and is not appropriate for a young person, so naturally I went opening night and I loved it. Again, I enjoyed multiple viewings on VHS.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, I\u2019ll admit, I\u2019ve never seen Terminator 3. I refused to because I\u2019m not buying a chick being physically threatening. I don’t care if she is an advanced cybernetic blabity blah, it has tits and I\u2019m not threatened by it.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I did see Terminator Salvation, and while it wasn\u2019t great, I did enjoy it. Interestingly enough, the leaked on set rant from Christian Bale during the filming of this movie sums up how I feel about the entire series to this point:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cOh, good for you. And how was it? I hope it was fucking good because it\u2019s useless now, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You see, all of the years of joy from Terminator movies has pretty much been ruined with the recent release of the new Terminator: Genesys (what a horrible title) trailer.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The big thing about the trailer is it basically tells me the entire first Terminator, a movie I loved as a young child (because my parents didn\u2019t seem to have any idea what they were doing), didn\u2019t really happen because now at the time the first movie took place, another terminator was already sent there to kill the first terminator but then a better terminator was sent because\u2026well, because time travel is stupid.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, once I admit time travel is stupid, I am only be left with one thought on the entire Terminator franchise: Fuck John Conner.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Seriously, fuck him. Not only is this ego maniac\u2019s adventures with time just pissing away valuable resources and risking the lives of the very few human beings left, he\u2019s doing it for no reason. Think about it. If I told you a cybernetic organism was just sent back in time to prevent you from being born, wouldn\u2019t your response have to be, \u201cWell, I guess it didn\u2019t work because I\u2019m here.\u201d?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That\u2019s not how the great John Connor sees it. No, he\u2019s too important to risk it, even though the guy isn\u2019t yet a proven commodity. At the point he sends Kyle Reese and the other T-800s back to protect his mother and himself, the war between man and machines is still going on. Couldn\u2019t he wait at least wait until AFTER he\u2019s defeated Skynet to make sure his life is even worth saving? It seems rather presumptuous to me.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After watching the Genesys trailer, I\u2019m out. I\u2019m actually thinking it may be time to start rooting for the machines.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
