If you haven't already picked up the all new Terminator 2 Collector's Edition Blu-Ray Set, complete with the Endo skull, you should act fast! Jennings of TAFs bought his from Amazon after they were already sold out and disappearing fast from Frys and Best Buy. With such high demand for this set and the fact that it's extremely rare, you may want to secure yours today. Here's some images of Randy's endo head and a brief review.
Jennings: "I know, can you believe I actually had to BUY this! Where's my free product review? Oh well, I still strongly recommend this cool collectible. The 500.00 price tag on the Icons or Sideshow endo heads were always too expensive for my taste but this one is a very compromising substitute. Sure, it's plastic, but at only 115.00 (figure 30.00 for the 6-disc Blu-Ray set and 85.00 for the skull), this is a killer deal. The collectors box that it comes in has Schwarzenegger's name in huge letters on all sides. They know how to sell a product! The pros: many LOUD movie sounds and Brad's music from a press of a button, light up eyes, life-sized skull, affordable, fantastic chrome finish. Cons: plastic, no remote control to operate the sounds, cheap looking teeth, the eye lights can not to turned on on a permanently (they come on only for about 10 seconds after you press the activate button). Still, I love this product for the price and I give it a mighty thumbs up."
You can check out this video file below featuring the light up eyes and the sound, however, the sound on the video is not good. Listening to the sounds live are perfectly clear, ballsy and insanely loud.
Winston is back! Randy's son, Miles Winston Jennings, will be stopping by from time to time showing you some of the latest products, toys and DVDs. Today Winston shops at Wal Mart and wants to inform some fans that if you buy T3: Rise of the Machines, you get a free movie ticket to go see T4. He's also fond of the 3d hologram covers on the $7.50 T1 and T2 DVDs. Miles had a fit when he learned there is still no T3 special edition released.
Now let's move on from Blu-Rays and DVDs to Soundtracks. What did you think of Danny Elfman's score for Terminator Salvation? Personally, we were not moved nearly as much by his music as his predecessors. TAFs wrote Marco Beltrami, composer of T3: Rise of the Machines.
TheArnoldFans: Marco, after seeing T4 a couple of times, I can say that your score for T3 was way better than "sloppy seconds" Danny Elfman. I like Danny's work in a lot of his projects, but he could not compare to your greatness in Terminator music. But who knows, maybe he only had like a few weeks to crank something out whereas maybe you had more time. All I DO KNOW is that yours kicked ass all the way through and Danny only had a good opening theme.
Marco Beltrami: Thanks Randy! I appreciate the prop. Haven't seen the movie yet myself, but i'll gladly take your word for it!
Arnold fan Mike Faix also writes in and agrees with us.
"Dearest TAFs, Incase you guys didn't get it yet, the soundtrack on CD is a bit varied and edited from the one on screen. The 5 note Terminator theme percussion,
that is in the movie only twice (Title credits and Arnolds' cameo) are not present. You can tell where it should be on the 'Opening Title' track, but its removed. No Terminator theme on the CD. Just the one theme Elfman created, playing over and over again. So sad. It does make you really appreciate the Terminator 3 score though. Many different themes there. Listen to that one again."
