holy gnu! the first movie in The Terminator series has an opening scene in 2029, but the action is in 1984. that's 40 years ago! the title in pt-BR is "the terminator from the future", but in another 5 years, it won't be from the future any morewe're currently at year 5 b.S.
that was supposed to mean 5 years before Skynet, but with all the shitterbots in action ATM, it's not at all unreasonable to say that we're living in the b.S. era2024-03-17T06:41:09Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
