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. era1 year ago via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
