Terminator 2 at MoMA

This weekend MoMA screened Terminator 2 (1991) to highlight its collection of works related to futurism. We tried not to wiggle too much with the knowledge that the robotic main character is now a governor. And once we got over the shock of realizing that the pop culture ephemera of our youth is now fit for preservation, we realized that much of the movie's effects have aged really well, including the various transmutations of liquid metal. We left the theater contemplating what so-called popcorn flick out right now will be screening circa 2028.
