The Future is Not set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves... By Guest. 21/12/09, 01:47 pm |
| So who's keen for a Terminator cosplay group? Probably not a competition group, coz it's all closet/second handing (unless someone is keen for T1000-ing it up.
Who doesn't love stolen pants, undercuts and aviators?
(Anyone who mentions Salvation gets a shotgun to the ear! Ditto to anyone who mentions the tv-show-that-shall-not-be-named!)
Coz Sarah Connor is pretty much my hero at the moment.
And I was young enough when this movie came out that it's ok that I have a crush on this guy:

| Totally ignoring the actual topic of this thread, I am going to counter the title with:
- Quote :
- The future is predetermined, but not by any grand design or higher power - the future is predetermined by the character and moral fibre of those who shape it.

| I would vote for a non-competition day. I'm in Wellywood and SS is in Hawkes Bay, so Wellygeddon would work. (I'm also hoping to be hitting overseas next winter; might not be in the country for Auckgeddon.) The costumes aren't complicated or expensive, even a decent prosthesis for our Arnie would be pretty easy to whip up. We could go for 2010. |

| Hmmmm... Saturday Wellygeddon? I might have to pull out of the Yu-Gi-Oh group, but meh, my character was pretty minor.
So hi, my name is TinTango and I would like to audition for the part of Terminator... can I play my background music? Oh yes, and I do have my Terminator ball mask. P.S. Who's Luke? Is he going for Arnie too? |

| I was just teasing about Luke - he hasn't dib'sed . Saturday Wellygeddon sounds good, and if you can bring background music, you're DEFINATELY in!
Terminator Ball mask? I don't believe I've seen piccies of that.
ALSO: Creature: Is this you forever relinquishing your geekcard due to not getting it? Or are you deliberately being obtuse? Coz, I thought you were a higher quality geek than that. I may have to lose all respect for you. |

I'll admit, I've never seen the Terminator movies, but I *did* recognize the quote. Hence why I made a point of noting that I was ignoring the topic Also, the quote is adapted from a line from Stargate: Atlantis. Am I redeemed?

Sort of, but the point is different. I hold that the future *is* set, because our behaviour is predetermined by our character, by who we are, how we act. And if the way everyone acts is predetermined, so is our collective future. The key difference is the discussion of if the future is set, or not. |

You may keep half your geekcard for knowing the quote. I'm confiscating the other half until you watch the films.
*insert rant here about no-one watching the classics anymore* |

Hey creature, have you perchance been reading the Foundation saga by Isaac Asimov? If not, you might want to check it out, especially the predictions by the character Harry Selden, as he applied what you've described, on a macro level. |

| I dunno. I kinda use my enthusiasm for the cosplay help me decide between groups.... hmm... not well known Yu-Gi-Oh side character vs. Arnie the Terminator! No contest. Besides, I could probably do yu Gi Oh in another geddon if I really wanted. I somehow don't think we'll get many opportunities to do a Terminator group again. |
