May 2009 - First of all, sorry for the lack of updates last months. Youtube was kind enough to delete my complete account with 110+ videos, so I have been busy to re-upload a lot of these videos with a new account: http://www.youtube.com/hopeofthefuture2029

Writing now, it's the day after Terminator Salvation has been released in theatres. I'm hearing mixed reviews from the fans. Some loved it, some dispised it. I myself still have to see it, as the Dutch theatrical release takes place on June 3rd and I haven't been invited to any advanced screenings. :-(

However, I have some other news for you. I hate to tell it, but it's not positive. First of all, the PC versions of the game Terminator Salvation have had some problems. Turns out there's some kind of bug in the game which prevents the user from installing the game. Read more about it here:
Unfortunately a defect occurred during replication of the PC version of Terminator Salvation, which does not allow end users to install the game. The downloadable online PC versions, Xbox 360, PS3, are not affected and function properly. We have recalled all PC copies of Terminator Salvation from retail in North America and are currently in the process of replicating new copies. The new copies will be on store shelves in a few days. A replacement plan for all end users that purchased the defective units is currently being set up. Details to get a replacement copy will be announced shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the end users that purchased the defective copy.

Second bad news is that the official movie novelization by Titanbooks does not contain the ending as it is shown in theatres. Instead of printing the right ending in the book, they have chosen to put it online in downloadable PDF file. I guess they didn't want to give away the ending before the movie would hit theatres, but then again, why wouldn't they wait with releasing the novel after the movie ht theatres? After all, it's like the title says: OFFICIAL MOVIE novelization. I would expect that the novel would have the OFFICIAL MOVIE ending and not some alternate ending. So now I end up with an official movie novelization that doesn't feature the official movie ending, and a separate digital download file which contains the real ending. I was certainly not please with this action.
For the ones who want the real ending, here's the download link.

Last but definately not least... enjoy Terminator Salvation in theatres!! Remember it's only a movie, made for entertaining purpose. They can't please all Terminator fans.

Enjoy your visit... and prepare for the future!!
