My one is Terminator the original. I get that the machines they can create a machine, i’ll even given them for creating human blood but one thing that bothered the shit out of me. Is they can probably read and write different languages but how in the hell or why do you make a robot have a german accent?

      To be fair, the second half feels like an entirely different story for a very different audience. It is still the same story, the same characters, and similar themes about imagination, shame and responsibility. But the part where he’s lost almost all of his memory, and only wishes for a place to belong, where he ends up with the monks and mines the paintings is probably the scene I’ve thought about the most in my life. And it’s so focused on the inner state of Bastian, that I just don’t think it could be translated to the screen satisfyingly. Maybe some director could make it happen. But it’d be a very different movie. Hell, it’s almost an entirely different book at that point, but it somehow works.
