In Terminator 2: Judgement day, Cyberdyne made the robot that became the terminators with a chip from a terminator from the future (from the first terminator)

THE BASSLINES ARE CONSTRUCTING THEMSELVES

cosmic

In the Anubis Gates, a literature professor travels back in time to meet an obscure poet on the day he writes his masterpiece, the guy never shows, and the professor ends up getting drunk and transcribing it from memory.

I WANT ANSWERS!

I like that chills-down-spine/cognitive dissonance bit in Anubis Gate where a guy, as far as he knows the only time traveller, has been stuck in Victorian (?) London for ages, and then he hears someone whistling 'Yesterday'.

And I liked the way T3 (which I thought was good, and which surprised me), had the balls to actually end the world at the end. The bit where they finally make it to the secret controls, and it's just a 1950s bomb shelter, blew my mind.

yea, really if they had ended T3 any other way I'd have wondered "why the fuck did they bother making this movie"....

that was a good ending.

that ending basically saves every other dumb thing about it (which actually there aren't many besides the TX being kind of ridiculous)

also anubis gates rules

i'd never heard of it

should i read it

haha greatest revive ever

Anubis Gates is a pretty good time-travel adventure goof. Tim Powers has a good pirate/voodoo goof called "On Stranger Tides" that's far superior to any Johnny Depp bullshit, too.

That "Yesterday" bit sounds awesome but I'm sorry it is ruined for me.

don't believe this revive

here's what bothers me about Back to the Future...

they set up half the movie saying omg, if my father and mother don't meet i will cease to exist...yet somehow Marty goes back in time and writes Johnny Be Goode?

white people needed to take back the roots of rock music

that'd be like Vanilla Ice going back in time and writing It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back

where does the bouncy elastic bassline in Fingers 'Can U Feel It', 'Washing Machine' etc. come from? just an SH-101 tone or similar? such a great sound

Not similar. An SHS-1000. Advanced prototype.

they didn't invent themselves, they were ~always there~

Very late to this thread but it's called a bootstrap paradox. Doctor Who did it with a fez.

The thing with the arm that rob bolton mentioned 18 years ago is something that's always bugged me. It seemed like a clear setup for a sequel, but none of the sequels ever used it.
