Yes: loved T1, hated T2 (for a Terminator Arnie did precious little terminating)

Yes: loved Aliens.

No: Can't stand Cameron (too "schmalzy" for my liking especially with Titanic) but, OTOH, I have recently seen Transformers (1&2) and have to say that Bay did a good job in terms of action (on the narrative side, not so much).

As for the portrayal of the military in Hollywood I would like to see soemthing "righteous and hopefull" for a change

Anyway, I hear that one of my boyhood comic favourites is comming to the big screen soon (hopefully, not the disaster that Judge Dredd was).......i.e., Rogue Trooper.
