August 29, Judgment Day.
It’s remarkable to be celebrating 35 years of TERMINATOR 2 and to look back at just how much innovation went into making this film.
Jim Cameron was asking everyone to go beyond what had been done before. ILM was pioneering visual effects technology to make the impossible possible. Stan Winston and his team were creating extraordinary practical effects. The stunt teams and crew were doing incredible work every single day.
I was lucky enough to step into the middle of all of that as the T-1000.
It changed my life.
35 years later, T2 is back in theaters and people around the world are still embracing this film.
What an incredible legacy to be a part of.
Happy Judgment Day.

Peter Cullin's family says Peter passed away peacefully, and they left a message following his death:
“His family asks that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty and always remember, ‘be strong enough to be gentle.’”
Everytime I see the last seconds of Game 5, and Wemby taking four steps (without dribbling) before taking that last shot, I'll remember how the entire series was called. It was the worst "8-on-5" in NBA history. And Knicks will got the gentleman's sweep. Never forget
Social media was one of the biggest scams ever sold.
A perfectly happy woman can scroll Instagram and suddenly convince herself she’s living the wrong life.
She sees influencers traveling the world, wearing designer clothes, carrying $10,000 handbags and stepping onto private jets.
Suddenly her stable marriage feels boring.
Her husband feels “cheap.”
Her normal life feels like she settled.
Then she starts picking apart everything he does.
“He doesn’t take me anywhere.”
“He doesn’t spoil me.”
“He’s not ambitious enough.”
“He’s not like those men.”
Eventually, she starts wondering if she married the wrong man.
But here’s what she forgets:
She’s comparing her real life to someone else’s carefully manufactured highlight reel.
The vacations are curated.
The relationships are curated.
The bodies are edited.
The homes are staged.
The lifestyles are sponsored by men who rent these “influencers” aka escorts strategically presented for attention.
You are not watching reality.
You are watching a performance designed to keep you watching.
And comparison is the business model.
Because a woman who is content with what she has is harder to sell to.
But make her feel inadequate?
Now she needs the new handbag.
The new body.
The new vacation.
The new house.
The new lifestyle.
And eventually, maybe even a new husband.
They don't need to convince you that your life is terrible.
They only need to convince you that someone else’s life is better.
Then you’ll do the rest.
You’ll create the dissatisfaction yourself.
The algorithm profits from your insecurity, your comparison and your constant need for validation from strangers.
Stop comparing your real marriage to someone else's curated feed.
Be grateful for what you’ve built.
And before you let strangers on the internet convince you that your husband isn't enough, remember who actually lives that life with you.
