I’ve always been a big fan of the Terminator franchise. My first experience was with Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I was just a kid then and the movie fascinated me. I managed to find the first Terminator while in uni and caught Terminator 3 when it came out. I also follow Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles with what some might call religious fervor.
Naturally, I’m looking forward to the next installment in the Terminator series. Terminator Salvation is both a prequel and a sequel (Jesus, the intricacies of time travel) and the trailer suggests that this movie would be nothing short of outstanding.
Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright, a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.
Nuffnang was kind enough to allocate 15 pairs of tickets for sixthseal.com to give out to my blog readers. Just comment and tell me your first experience with the Terminator franchise and you’ll get a chance to win a pair of tickets. This is the Terminator Salvation screening so you get to watch it two days before everyone else!
Date: 26th May (Tue)
Time: 9.30pm
Venue: Cathay Cineplex Damansara (Cineleisure @ The Curve)
I will be using random.org to pick winners so it’s not the first 15 or anything like that. I will shoot a video of myself using random.org to ensure transparency. However, this being sixthseal.com, I am going to give out 3 pairs of tickets (of the 15) to the first three people that can answer this:
Q: In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, John Connor is seen breaking into an animal hospital. What substance was he after?
Hint: I posted about it on my blog in 2004. I used to have a prescription for this. It’s not in common use nowadays. If you can find the post in question, veritas takes off his (rather dusty and old) hat to you. 🙂
It’s okay if you don’t know the answer, just comment and you can snag the 12 other pairs of tickets. Bring your date and be the first in Malaysia to watch the movie!
15 pairs of tickets to the Terminator Salvation await you! See ya at the screening!
he was looking for hallucinogens
I watched The Terminator back in 1990s on videotape. Caught Terminator 2 : Judgement Day later on LD. Love the franchise. Can’t wait.
specifically, Polydichloric euthimal
He was after some ketamine. Am i correct?
I don’t remember exactly when I 1st saw The Terminator but I sure remember everyone’s fav line “I’ll be back!”
Lol.. That is pure classic. 😛
He was looking for medicine since he had an accident
Terminators rock~!
Dude – saying it’s a pharmaceutical you mentioned in your blog in 2004 doesn’t really narrow it down too much….
But I’m thinking it was phenobarbital – that “rather weak” barbiturate you scored from the doctor you saw for food poisoning.
As I recall, John Conner was looking for painkillers, and I think he took a whole bottle of phenobarbital. Am I right?
Sadly, even if I correct, I can’t fly in from NY for the screening, much as I’d love to, so I can’t win the tix. But have fun at the screening – the trailer looks great.
john connor was looking for some painkillers but accidentally took some animal tranquilizers instead (ketamine) i guess.
Q: In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, John Connor is seen breaking into an animal hospital. What was the substance he was after?
A : Phenobarbital
Your post that featured it :

After google and tips from DJ EZN
Is the medicine called Tramadol?
That’s a great movie! I have been watching Terminator from when Arnie was the top of his form. Its great to see that they manage to continue the Terminator franchise and still manage to maintain the special effects. I will definitely want to go for this one.
Oh ya, here’s the image from the movie :

Phenobarbital/phenobarbitone is teh answer for your question. *prays*
I wouldn’t have watched terminator if it wasnt for my dad who persuaded me to watch! And now i’m looking forward for this new movie! Woot~
i want dammit!
i dunno the answer so instead of just getting myself a wrong one, I’m gonna say..
“Astala Vista, Baby”
ciao babes!
I want a ticket please! 🙂
I can’t remember much my first experience – apart from that we watched it on a VHS and I remember the skeleton with the dynamite stuck between its ribs. I didn’t really get into Terminator until the second one though.
I place my bet on Neutersol.
sz
it’s phenobarbital the answer 🙂
John took Phenobarbital from the animal clinic..
I wish I can get my hands on the premier screening passes.. Can’t wait for it to be release..
i was still very young when i had my first encounter leh… all i rmb is there’s this kick ass robot dats all hahah and yea SKY NET! haha i want the tix!!!
A: animal poo? :X
Terminator = epic.
omg i want tickets!
Dude, when you see my governor in the movie, flip the bird for me….the muscle-head, republican traitor has raised our sales tax to 10.3%.
On the other hand…he is trying to legalize weed, in the hope of getting state funding from Marijuana taxes. I will stash some for you…if you ever visit….may be not.
Okay i am not writing this for the sake of trying to be some pseudo-intellectual pretentious fuck sipping gourmet coffee in Starbucks… but Terminator 2 blew my mind when I first saw in on Laser Dics. Yes! Laser Disc! New high tech player of that time, that plays T2. And I thought the reason why T2 robots were all metallic was maybe because all the Laser Disc were holographic, which is why all the characters were affected.
For weapons of mass destruction, I want a pair of ticket please! 🙂
My first Terminator experience is the 3rd episode, The Rise of Machine. And since then I’ve been hooked up tho this cool machine-people thingy. Too bad Arnold retired to a governor.
Okay, the 3 pairs of tickets for the correct answer has been taken!
The answer is phenobarbital/phenobarbitone a very excellant barbiturate for sleeping – 12 hours easily. 🙂
The post I mentioned about is here:

The winners of the three (3) PAIRS of tickets:
Nigel
Jac
kellster
John is in NY, so we’re passing it down. Great work guys1 I didn’t think many people would know. 🙂
Jeff, sorry you missed it by 1 but I’ll weigh you 6x in random.org when I run it for tickets. No more phenobarbital guesses…now it’s comments to win the remainding 12 PAIRS of tickets. I shall run it through random.org tomorrow and post the results. Cheers! 🙂
P/S – The contest is not over until tomorrow. You can still win the tickets since it’s going to be randomly picked from the comments with weights (x2 e.g. 2 chances) for the people who wrote about their first experience with the franchise. Cheers!
one word. FANTABULASTIC! *stolen word from jeff*
As for the question.
Q: In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, John Connor is seen breaking into an animal hospital. What was the substance he was after?
painkiller, i bet. =D
he was looking for pain killers, what a pussy lol real men dont take that pussy shit
OMG! I want to be terminated ! XD
Phenobarbital!!
i found my answer from here actually:
http://www.citypaper.com/film/review.asp?rid=5619
but i saw that the 3 winners had been picked so too bad lol~
anyway my first experience with the franchise, terminator 1 was the first original VCD my parents bought! lol is tht enough?
gimme gimme gimme the tickets 😀
I think i was 11years old when i first watched Terminator…Laser Disk it was…..huge motherfucker…..but also the only mode of watching uncensored version of movies….Linda Hamilton was hot. She was 28 back then…she is 52 now….wrong….really really wrong….
I remember watching Terminator when I was a kid and there was this huge muscular guy who was showed in the buff after appearing out of no where…and he went on the become the governor of California!
phenob! (hand ups in the air like Hermoine Granger in Harry Potter movies)
Damn it. I just get to online just then.. otherwise I prob could score the tickets.
still.. really no point. cos I will be flying off by then.
=)
The very first time I watched Terminator was actually the 2nd installment. And I sided all the way with Arnie, who played the bad-Terminator gone good. hehe..
As far as special effects goes, Terminator 2 was great during the time it was made. The soundtrack of the score still gets my heart racing, every time i hear that ‘da dump dump da dump’. If you listen to the music enough you’ll know which part i’m talking about.
And the part that seriously touched me the most – yest I was touched by Terminator! – had to be the ending. When Arnie as the Terminator decides to kill himself in order to save John and Sarah Connor. As he sinks down you see him give the thumbs up sign to John.. That was just…. awwww…
So that was my first experience and that will always stay with me. 🙂
Greetings pre-apocalypse humans! Contests ends at 12 PM tomorrow, I’ll run random.org then. Cheers! 🙂
The movie was real awesome..i always can’t stop craving for the next wan…it was like I’m addicted…will be glad if i can watch it 2 days earlier….arnold was is the last few Terminator so and he’s so cool…never die-ing to chase after the future SAVIOR….
Yup Cynthia! You da man! (or woman rather).
Phenobarbital. I like coz it gives me 12 hours of sleep. *cough* Temazepam works very well too. 😉
The movie is awesome! Put in the list “My MUST watch movie” even though without free ticket… Glad if I can get the free ticket but still it only worth for who stay in KL…For who in Sarawak, if got the ticket also cant watch since the venue –> Cathay Cineplex Damansara (Cineleisure @ The Curve) =.=”
watched T2 in 1991 at the cinema with my parents. tickets was just 4 ringgit for 1st class seats.(got up stairs, 1st class and downstairs normal sitting… damn old school ok). buy 2 adult tickets and the kid gets to be “smuggled” in for free
i was only 7 years old and they never censor the profanities. after the movie i asked my dad what did “fuck” mean. i discovered and learnt the word “fuck” from watching terminator 2.
yes… i fucking remember all the details from 18 years ago
Terminator movie was like other epics such as Star Tek and Star Wars, well there was time before Astro…
Just wanna try my luck and see if I can win the tix for the screening…
The contest is closed! I shall do the random.org thing after work and winners will be announced then.
Thanks for participating! 🙂
I’m still tied up with work so results will be announced tomorrow night k? I need to borrow a digicam to film myself doing the random.org thing too. Apologies for the delay.
haha…can’t wait for the results…
Gah, no digicam. I only have a dSLR. Gonna borrow one tomorrow. Results then for fairness. 🙂
My first experience was when I was like very young watching Terminator on RTM2. I remember screaming at the ending scene in the factory, where the half-bodied terminator was crawling, reaching for Sarah Connor’s legs. Yeah.. Good times.
Take your time hun…No rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want to know my experience…
Talk to the hand
*Shows hand, and giggles.*
I’ve always led a rather sheltered life. Even to the extent I was probably the only cinema goer (almost 20 years ago I should add) to watch T2 without being aware of the bad-terminator good-terminator ‘switch’.
When Arnie delivered the “Come with me if you want to live” catchphrase to Sarah Conner (while she was being pursued by the T-1000 at the mental institution), I was genuinely shocked.
Truly sad.
