Just saw a TV ad for Terminator: Rise of the Machines and they seem to be pushing the "sexy girl robot" angle of it. Schwarzenegger is there in the framing shots, but mainly as wowed spectator to Sexy Girl Robot as she chews up the scenery and many CGI graphics.
This is probably part of a well-planned marketing strategy -- Terminator demolished the competition in its first few weeks and they want to ride the wave out as long as they can. So just as revenues are starting to drop off you target your secondary audience, the Nikita/Charlie's Angels/Tomb Raider fans.
I haven't seen any of these movies. But as I understand it, the Terminator franchise involves a robot killing machine, sent from the future, to, uh, blow up cars or something.
So now there's a Sexy Girl Robot, sent from the future to, uh, blow up cars or something.
The question is, why would "the future" bother to sex its robots?
If they're advanced enough to construct perfectly humanoid machines (and conquer Time), why would they stick big zoomers on them? Wouldn't invisibility or lethality be more important considerations?
Maybe not if you've got the 'tweens in your sights.
