One of the ways I celebrated my long Thanksgiving weekend was by watching Terminator 2: Judgement Day in theaters with some of my pals. I had never seen it, and an old movie theater in town was doing a special late-night screening. I haven’t seen the first Terminator, but I hear the second one is better anyway. It was a romp for the ages. The action sequences were high-octane, the special effects were gloriously dated, and the dialogue had some comedic highs. Towards the end, when Arnold said «I need a vacation,» I lost my mind. It was gold.

I can’t believe that lunk with a funny accent was the full-on governor of California. I get why people voted for him, though. It was impossible not to root for him in the movie. And at the end, when he gives a thumbs up from the molten sludge? That’s one electable dude. Anyway, enjoy the week’s best sci-fi memes, Arnold-approved.
