T2: Suddenly Salad Edition

James Cameron's T2: Judgment Day and Guy Maddin's Brand Upon The Brain with a side of Betty Crocker's Suddenly Salad. It was salty and metallic all around. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed T2 despite Linda Hamilton's narration (example: "Dyson listened while the Terminator laid it all down: Skynet, Judgment Day, the history of things to come. It's not everyday you find out that you're responsible for 3 billion deaths. He took it pretty well.").


I'm also not convinced that the T-1000 would retain his police officer uniform. In the beginning, he kills the cop and I suppose he makes a copy of it, but why wouldn't he just be naked everytime he's melted or whatever? Just a thought. Maybe I'm the only perv who would call for this edit, but then again my boyfriend had the same question.
Maddin's Brand Upon The Brain, at first glance, seemed better than his Saddest Music In The World, but I was deceived by the stylized melodrama. Check out T2 before Brand Upon The Brain. Then again, you probably already have... so give Brand Upon The Brain a chance if you so desire.

(Tip: The Classic flavor Suddenly Salad's best. As much as Ranch & Bacon or Caesar may sound like fun, stick with the Classic.)
