Thanks Disco Stu I appreciate your honest and thoughtful reply. Perhaps I was to blunt up front, and I will try to be more careful with my wording. I always try to clarify in an adult way when my remarks are challenged. I should know better as it's just fuel for more personal attacks. Thus I will take the advice of many here. Any such attacks will be met by immediate ignore and will all be happier for it. I do apologize to dragon53 for being a part of this circus too.

No problem. I just didn't like what I was reading so I just jumped in. Besides automatically calling everything sexy merely because it's not man is not my thing either. I too am most , if not all, times thoroughly underwhelmed by what is considered to be beautiful. For one thing it never ceases to amaze me how relative it always is. Today's hot is tomorrow's not merely because the masses have moved on. And speaking of moving on: let's move on.
I missed T4 when it was on TV. I really wanted to see it in order to be able to judge it.
You are not alone in liking T3. The others are not alone in finding it hit and miss and ruined by the comedic scenes, which really killed what could have been an excellent film. The DVD extra with Schwarzenegger having that weird voice doing his weird thing still has me scratching my head wondering what I watched more than three years ago. The makers really must not have cared for the franchise. I never was a fan of the first and the second one I like only slightly more than Cameron's "True lies".
T3 has the best ending of them all. None of the others can equal that creepy scene in the dormant fallout bunker brrrrrr. Claire Danes is great in this film, having both vulnerability and strength that makes her a character I really have sympathy for. It even makes her quite sexy, in the same way Elisabeth Shue has that wonderful vulnerable strength so rare nowadays in female characters. Today's cinema women are either evil queens, selfish scum or Rambettas.
