The fact that you have to explain this is making me feel very god damned old right now.
Damn, thank you for providing your knowledge to rub it in!
that's actually her twin sister (Leslie Hamilton Freas)
Tip of the spear, crack of my ass
I see everyone is having a productive morning. You know it gives me a swell of pride knowing soldiers of your... caliber will be leading the charge tomorrow.

Technically that's Sarah Connor after T1 by a year or two.
T2 is 34 years old, I remember reading about it in a paper magazine, when James Cameron said that the molten T1000 should say "Get out" to the helicopter pilot and how the CGI artists were stumped on how to make it happen.
There's something like 2-5 minutes of CGI in T2 and that was unheard of back in 1991.
The actress who played Sarah Conner had a twin in real life, and they use her as a double in some scenes.
Notably one (that I think was cut) has her operating on Arnold's head, and you can see her doing it in the mirror. What they actually did was make a super detailed replica of his head and used her twin sister to mirror her movements. There are videos and stuff out there about it, it's pretty fucking cool.
One of the other notable scenes with her sister was in the steel factory, when the T1000 was mimicking Sarah. The T1000 was actually played by Linda Hamilton and it was her sister with the shotgun.
For anybody not old enough to have seen that movie, go see Terminator, and then Terminator 2, and then stop.
You are missing out.
I also recommend the Netflix anime, Terminator Zero. It's made by Production IG, the people behind Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and SkyDance, and does a great job of being its own thing while being respectful of the first two movies.
I second this recommendation, solid series and it does do a great job of being faithful to the setting instead of just using it as a veneer for some other type of story.
The TV series from the mid-2000s was actually pretty decent, but it was canceled like 2 seasons in and never finished its story.
But yeah, T2 isn't gonna be topped. I think it is a strong contender for best action film of all time.
Aliens would like a word...
I literally typed that Aliens was the other major contender at the bottom ofnthe comment, then deleted before posting because I didn't want to be too fanboyish about James Cameron.
But.... yeah. Dude can make an action flick. Heck - the Avatar movies didn't change the world with their messaging, but dammit if the action scenes aren't jaw-dropping.
Saw it again a few months ago, scary how current that movie still is (AI, nuclear war)
To give you an idea of my age, I'm still young enough to get drafted to the US military. I watched T2 when I was a teen, like about 10 years ago, give or take. That movie is one of my favorites. It doesn't feel that old from my PoV.

Definitely a scene that sticks with you
For me what clued me in is how much more muscle she has than the typical playground mom.
Sure she can do it, but when I stand like this and watch children at the playground, the cops show up.
To be fair, this was in her dreams.
So is watching children in thiers
Different times
And she'll be
Blinded by the li-i-ight. Wrapped up like a douche, another boner in the night
I dunno whether you're trolling or just genuinely don't know the lyrics, but...
- Blinded by the light
- Revved up like a deuce,
- another runner in the night
No, that doesn't sound right.
I like @fartographer@lemmy.world’s better. 😊
Thank you! I misheard them myself and then concerned my parents by singing them out loud.

...in the moment
Before the moment. It is very fleeting after all. Take in your surroundings. Be mindful.
Looks like it’s gonna be a hot one.
Yeah, anyone not wear 1 million sun block is gonna have a real bad day, got it‽

Playgrounds are like this now too. Kids playing, not looking at phones, living in the moment. 🙂
Only downside is it makes exchanging numbers a little harder.
Why are you exchanging numbers with kids?🤨
Just a crutch to make things a little easier on myself. I frankly suck at old-fasioned luring.
Vans are so much more expensive now.
Exactly, there's always a premium on vans. Pickups are also nice, but you really have to secure the kids really well, they get exposed to the elements, etc. A nice pickup bed cover would be a decent middle ground.
Have you tried candy?
In this economy!?
