10 Brilliantly Stupid TV Guide Descriptions Of Classic Movies
4. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
A reprogrammed Terminator arrives from the future to protect young John Connor from a relentless shape-shifting cyborg gumball machine.
Another film description that fell foul of the 2014 Netflix glitch, this puts a new spin on the epic battle between Sarah Connor, the T-800 and the shape-shifting T-1000. Imagine something with an even colder, emotionless performance then Robert Patrick; yes you're looking at the killer gumball machine hiding out in a kid's arcade and it is ready to kill you all. Netflix's description of this iconic film is both hilarious and insidious in equal measure. Imagine all those children lining up to get some gum, not knowing that there is a terrifying cyborg in their midst ready to destroy humanity. A terrifying prospect for any parent.
A writer for Whatculture since May 2013, I also write for TheRichest.com and am the TV editor and writer for Thedigitalfix.com . I wrote two plays for the Greater Manchester Horror Fringe in 2013, the first an adaption of Simon Clark's 'Swallowing A Dirty Seed' and my own original sci-fi horror play 'Centurion', which had an 8/10* review from Starburst magazine! (http://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/eventsupcoming-genre-events/6960-event-review-centurion) I also wrote an episode for online comedy series Supermarket Matters in 2012. I aim to achieve my goal for writing for television (and get my novels published) but in the meantime I'll continue to write about those TV shows I love!
