Film Arnold Is Still :-( in Terminator 2: The Opera.
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 10:43 AM
The existential angst buried in each of Arnold Schwarzenegger's nuanced characters is explored once again in Terminator 2: The Opera, in which the T-800 ponders how far he's fallen—once a cold robotic assassin, he's now well aware that he's become little more than a glorified babysitter. It's no Total Recall: The Musical, but if the T-800's tragic tale doesn't bring even a small tear to your cheek, there's something deeply wrong with you.
Indeed—what is the point of a keeling machine who can feeeeeel? Via io9.
