I’m Only Happy When Garbage’s Shirley Manson Becomes A Regular On Fox’s TERMINATOR!!

FIRST! by Uncapie	May 29th, 2008 12:12:51 AM
Just had to say it just once!
Most appropriately named band ever. by veebeeyes	May 29th, 2008 12:17:35 AM
When I say that I'm listening to Garbage, you can be sure that I'm listening to garbage. Shirley Manson is sort of hot though. But can she act?! I didn't know that she's an actor too.
sweet by Roffstafarian	May 29th, 2008 12:17:47 AM
i know im in the monority but i like this show. dunno if ms. garbage can act or not, so this'll be an adventure at least
by DigitalBeachWar	May 29th, 2008 12:18:13 AM
hahhahhah WHAAAAAT?!
AngelFish by RenoNevada2000	May 29th, 2008 12:19:31 AM
Anyone else ever see or hear Manson's first band AngelFish. Caught them when they opened for Live way back in the day and the blew the doors off the place. (The Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA)
Saw the band's second to last performance ever by s0nicdeathmonkey	May 29th, 2008 12:21:52 AM
they were good, she knows how to work a crowd.
Oh man.... can you say 3-way???? by The Crystal Skull	May 29th, 2008 12:32:18 AM
Sarah, Summer, and Shirley... someone needs to make a porn parody now, at the very least.
High tech firm's CEO? by The Crystal Skull	May 29th, 2008 12:35:57 AM
She's damn sexy and has an awesome voice, but can she act? It'd be a shame to cripple a great series in-the-making with too many b-movie performers. I'll still see every episode though!
interestingly, LIVE played that show too by s0nicdeathmonkey	May 29th, 2008 12:39:28 AM
when they came on, I looked over at my friend and say, "hey, do you hear that" "What" "it's...the lunch bell." terrible live action.
Some things never change... by beetlegeuse	May 29th, 2008 01:03:48 AM
It looks like Shirley Manson is still fronting garbage.
Yes, it is cool news by JacksParasites	May 29th, 2008 01:09:11 AM
Can't wait!
doesn't she have like the thickest scots accent ever? by newc0253	May 29th, 2008 01:23:45 AM
not that that's a bad thing or anything, i'm just saying folks in the us may struggle to understand her.
Thank god! by David Cloverfield	May 29th, 2008 01:41:49 AM
If a woman builds Skynet, it's gonna crash before it can do any harm. Thank god for quotas.
Cool by Antz	May 29th, 2008 01:46:17 AM
The show has definitely got potential. Pretty much everyone I know who has watched it really enjoyed it. Felt like it was only just starting to find it's feet in season 1. Be most interested to see where they take it in S2.
WTF??! (And I loved Garbage.) by Prof. Pop-Cult	May 29th, 2008 01:55:37 AM
This is so out of left field. I'm already a regular viewer of the show, and I was really impressed by how it turned out -- and even more so by Brian Austin Greene in this show. Now I'm really curious to see how Shirley Manson works on this show.
Beth Gibbons to join the cast of BSG by wash	May 29th, 2008 02:01:45 AM
as a morose Cylon.
NEW RULE: Shirley Manson Makes My Dick HARD! by Bill Maher	May 29th, 2008 02:33:52 AM
I saw Garbage in concert (front row) and my girlfriend got mad at me for sporting a boner for the whole show. It's not like I whipped it out, but it was obvious -and all because of Shirley Manson. WHAT A PIECE OF ASS!
Is she gonna be Kate Brewster / John's future wife? by HarryBlackPotter	May 29th, 2008 02:39:37 AM
We now know that Kate is in the 4th movie, and this series will lead up to next summer's Terminator 4, but so far, Kate's not shown up in the show, but surely she has to at some point? But we know that Kate would be older than John by about 8 years or so because of the time-jump they did in the pilot (which rendered the T3 time-line & Sarah's cancer moot), so my money's on her being Kate. Nice!
Kate from T3... by Prof. Pop-Cult	May 29th, 2008 02:44:02 AM
I don't remember much about that character (or T3 really). Would it be logical for her to be the CEO of a tech company in 2008/9? (This scoop doesn't specifically say she is the CEO of Cyberdyne. It could be another company, perhaps one that is tied to that time travel camera technology, which was played out as an ARG.)
Catherine Weaver = Kate Brewster? by Prof. Pop-Cult	May 29th, 2008 02:47:34 AM
And according to the Hollywood Reporter article, Manson's character is named Catherine Weaver. Dane's character was Kate Brewster. But could Kate be short for Catherine, and Weaver is her married name?
Excellent news. Wasn't aware she was acting by Yeti	May 29th, 2008 05:30:28 AM
Looks like I'm going to have to get a DVR between this, Chuck and Gossip Girl (shut up I know) Monday nights at 8 are too busy.
she isn't that hot...however by Judge Briggs	May 29th, 2008 06:45:32 AM
Summer Glau and Sarah Connor are redunk. MILF.
Damn by Kizeesh	May 29th, 2008 06:46:27 AM
Does that mean she's moved back to the US? I was hoping to bump into her, since she lives in the same city as me. and by 'bump' I mean 'thrust my mighty member'...
Shirely Manson is teh sex by blindambition238	May 29th, 2008 06:48:11 AM

I remember seeing a special about Garbage by FluffyUnbound	May 29th, 2008 07:36:08 AM
...where everyone said that she had a lot of emotional problems and low self-esteem and thought that she was ugly. And I thought to myself, "If only I could have been in a position to exploit that low self-esteem! Damn!" Hot chicks that think they aren't hot give the best head.
Manson WAS a Terminator in a James Bond video by JasonPratt	May 29th, 2008 07:37:57 AM
Anyone else think this is the prime reason she's being cast here? (See video for _The World Is Not Enough_. Okay not strictly a Terminator, but close enough.)
Loved her in the "World is Not Enough" video by SpyGuy	May 29th, 2008 08:10:24 AM
One of my favorite Bond themes ever. Now bring in Rose McGowan and Morena Baccarin for more hot Terminators!
Nice by XOMuffintop	May 29th, 2008 08:34:16 AM
Good to see more hotness comming to a show that I think has real potential to become a stronger piece of the Terminator mythos than 3 and 4 can ever dream of being.
The World is Not Enough soundtrack by Sithdan	May 29th, 2008 08:35:23 AM
was the best part about that movie.
Crap... by Kid Z	May 29th, 2008 08:46:56 AM
...Now I'll HAVE to watch this thing. That redhaired Scottish faux-goth chick is hot!
Awesome by happybunni	May 29th, 2008 08:48:34 AM
Good addition to the show
Interesting......I love the Band by erichaislar	May 29th, 2008 09:03:36 AM
I also love the show. So Sweet.
Please by Series7	May 29th, 2008 09:21:44 AM
Move this show to Thursday night. Just not Monday! My brain can't process high concept shows on Monday. Stick with Heroes and Prison Break where brains are not allowed!
Shirley rules. by Fawst	May 29th, 2008 09:22:45 AM

She's hot. by Fawst	May 29th, 2008 09:23:51 AM
Like, Sofa King hot.
She looks like an android by Sithdan	May 29th, 2008 09:42:39 AM
She has that "Replicant" look about her.
Odd choice of casting by darquelyte	May 29th, 2008 09:46:06 AM
But I'll be happy to hear her Scottish accent!
Manson's Company (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)?? by Merrick	May 29th, 2008 09:54:22 AM
Shortly after the first season ended, there was a funky TERMINATOR-based viral campaign (which we were subsequently told was not for the new McG movie – i.e. it’s probably for SARAH CONNOR). You can find those viral videos here: http://tinyurl.com/39sftr They feature a high-tech company that has gained the ability to glimpse into the future, or something like that. Wonder if this is the company Manson’s heading up? Presumably, this company’s ability to glimpse the future ultimately leads to Skynet coopting it’s technology for time manipulation. Just a theory; I have no evidence to back this up.
Top notch sleuthing Merrick...if that's not the.... by FlickaPoo	May 29th, 2008 10:17:10 AM
...connection it should be...
sorry, not seeing the hotness by oisin5199	May 29th, 2008 10:31:24 AM
another anorexic, gothy emo chick? No thanks.
she's hot but she can go to hell by tompiltoff	May 29th, 2008 10:45:38 AM
She talked shit on Radiohead. Plus I automatically lose respect for any musician who does a TV show or movie.
U LIKE SHIRLEY MANSON?!? by DonLogan	May 29th, 2008 11:02:52 AM
what puts me off is the FACT she likes to indulge in a bit of SCAT from time to time.
Metal Heart by cousindave	May 29th, 2008 11:54:13 AM
Listen to the lyrics of Metal Heart
Uh, yeah... by FarSky	May 29th, 2008 12:19:04 PM
When I see Shirley Manson, I immediately think "CEO of a tech firm." This is...questionable casting.
veebeeyes, you're a homo by I Dunno	May 29th, 2008 01:12:20 PM
"The World Is Not Enough" is the best Bond opening song ever written. And Manson is the Hotness.
I saw Garbage in Orlando ten years ago... by Mosquito March	May 29th, 2008 01:18:06 PM
...and to this day, it's still one of the best (and loudest) performances I've seen - and I was just a casual Garbage fan, who has seen a LOT of great concerts in the last decade. Shirley was an incendiary presence live. You couldn't take your eyes off her, she was all over the stage. She's basically the prototype for the chick from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and I think she's going to turn out to be a surprisingly good actress.
Now, if only Summer and Lena's breasts could make a guest appear by kdoc13	May 29th, 2008 01:29:12 PM
Shirley Manson is good too. Who doesn't like a Scottish Redhead? But Lena looked good in 300. The only thing about 300 that looked good. And Summer Glau is hot in anything. By the way, "The World is Not Enough" was good, but "Goldeneye," "Live & Let Die" and "Nobody Does It Better" are arguably the three best Bond songs.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one by bravogolfhotel	May 29th, 2008 01:31:43 PM
If someone told me a year ago that I'd be digging a modestly budgeted TERMINATOR TV series with none other than Brian Austin Green as a badass soldier from the future, I'd have said they needed their medication adjusted, but here we are...
I like that they only cast hot chicks by Mullah Omar	May 29th, 2008 01:43:00 PM
..on this show. Leave the realism elsewhere, I say. This is cool news made cooler by the fact that it seems to come out of nowhere - I had no idea Shirley Manson was even interested in acting.
GARBAGE! best bond song? by DonLogan	May 29th, 2008 02:04:48 PM
The World is not enough is the best bond theme? Are u on crack? try We Have All The Time in The World, Nobody Does it better, LIve & Let Die...even the more obvious like goldfinger would come before that dross.
More stuntMEN, Less stuntCASTING by cowboyone	May 29th, 2008 03:08:33 PM
WTF is with the "let's use rappers and singers as actors?" I swear to God, "Casting Agent" must be THE most OVER RESPECTED job title ever. Is there a shortage of REAL actresses in Hollywood?
best Bond theme by Titus05	May 29th, 2008 03:25:47 PM
best Bond song?...I really like the theme from Casino Royale...'You know my name' by Chris Cornell
GARBAGE = Garbage by LaserPants	May 29th, 2008 04:00:16 PM
But I have to admit I liked that "Stupid Girl" song. It was clearly written about one of my exes -- the one with the good coke connection who basically destroyed herself.
Mmmmmm.... Shirley Manson... by MrSentinel	May 29th, 2008 04:04:35 PM
So underrated.... So incredibly hot...
You Know My Name is incredible. by Hercules	May 29th, 2008 04:28:05 PM
Live and Let Die is the world-beater, though. I'm a huge Garbage freak, but I did not enjoy its Bond song. And Shirley's not anorexic; she's just crazy tall.
You Know My Name was Incredible!!?? by MattmanReturns	May 29th, 2008 06:05:32 PM
You're in the minority there, Herc. It's okay to be in the minority, but saying that this song is "incredible" is on the same level of shock-value absurdity as talkbackers who say "Batman Begins SUCKED".
You Know My Name is incredible by DonLogan	May 29th, 2008 06:16:50 PM
if incredible means SPHINCTER-PICKLES
Hey this is a cool soundtrack by weaponmentalarion	May 29th, 2008 06:55:26 PM
looks like its going to be a good series with a heavy following for a long time coming. I'm liking this series already.
Herc-perbole sighting! by Mullah Omar	May 29th, 2008 07:02:33 PM
YOU KNOW MY NAME was about as far from a Bond song - let alone an incredible Bond song - as I could have imagined. It was only even an average Chris Cornell song. Bring back the chicks with smoky voices!
The World is Not Enough WAS the best Bond song. by I Dunno	May 29th, 2008 07:28:47 PM
It was sexy, the lyrics were awesome,it was written from the point of view of the villain and Shirley sounded sultry as fuck. Live and Let Die? That was gay as fuck. The GnR cover was better.
That Viral Campaign by Turd Furgeson	May 29th, 2008 07:45:44 PM
Was pretty damn cool. Lots of videos and cool stuff that led you to all kinds of places like face book and phony news articles on Google. They didn't develop the technology though, they found it.. Check it out if you have some time.
The best thing about "You know my name" was the intro by blindambition238	May 29th, 2008 08:04:31 PM
After the excellent gun barrel sequence, the opening chords that hit immediately after do a great job of adding an exclamation point to the brutal opening. The last time a Bond intro actually got my adrenaline going was probably Live and Let Die or Living Daylights. That being said, as a single by itself "YKMN" wasnt anything too special and slightly generic, but thank god for Cornell's voice. He really should have just brought in the rest of his Audioslave friends to give it some extra dimension, especially since now we know Tom Morello isn't adverse to doing a bit of movie music with Iron Man.
Also, just for 'the lolz', my 5 overall favorite bond tunes by blindambition238	May 29th, 2008 08:14:09 PM
1. A View to a Kill- Duran Duran 2. World is Not Enough- Garbage 3. Live and Let Die- Wings 4. The Living Daylights- aHa 5. Thunderball- Tom Jones
I will kill for you... I will terminate for you by thebearovingian	May 29th, 2008 08:20:35 PM
I will rip John Connor's heart out and watch him bleed... aaahhhaaahhhhaaaaahhhhhaaaahha ahh...
No, GOLDFINGER Is The Best Bond Song by LaserPants	May 29th, 2008 08:47:19 PM
Sung by Shirley Bassey. Cmon, its no frikkin' contest.
eww by celebritydave	May 29th, 2008 11:30:09 PM
you cunts need to get out more, shes a fuckin pig
Shirley Manson is 100% pure raw Scottish sex goddess by Kizeesh	May 30th, 2008 03:05:59 AM
Even at 40 years old, she's still the sort of girl that'd turn my head. As to Bond music, I prefered Tommorrow Never Dies, actually. Not the film, the song.
Um by Saracen1	May 30th, 2008 04:07:10 AM
1) I saw Shirley in person after a concert, a few feet away (I met the band while they were signing autographs). She is not tall. But quite a hottie nonetheless. 2)Garbage haters, go fuck yourselves, and resume listening to Evanescence. 3)My favorite bond themes: Thunderball, OHMSS (All the Time in the World), Moonraker, Live and Let Die, and You Know My Name.
Best Bond Theme by Lost Jarv	May 30th, 2008 05:44:11 AM
Nobody does it better. Original name of Garbage was going to be "Rectal Drip". True. And I like Garbage and fucking loved "Only Happy When It Rains"
Best Ludicrously Histrionic Bond song by irritable	May 30th, 2008 06:51:10 AM
Goldfinger - Dame Burly Chassis
Hmm... by The Selecter	May 30th, 2008 07:10:27 AM
This makes it a little more interesting. She's been a musician and model, but can she act? Even she's admitted that she doesn't think she is pretty or beautiful in the conventional sense. It's her persona and cocksureness that makes her hot (Angelina Jolie is the same way). If they allow that to come through, it might work.
Worst Bond Theme by Lost Jarv	May 30th, 2008 07:36:13 AM
Madonna. And there have been some fucking howlers as well- but that one is head and shoulders above the rest
Garbage's "Sleep Together" and "Wicked Ways" = by blindambition238	May 30th, 2008 08:07:19 AM
Aural boners.
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE by Mosquito March	May 30th, 2008 08:24:32 AM
This is THE best Bond theme. It also had the best title sequence.
Ok... by Frankenbastard	May 30th, 2008 09:12:41 AM
Ok, now i have a reason to watch the stupid show.
Technically... by dj_bollocks	May 30th, 2008 12:08:26 PM
Shirley's first proper band was 'Goodbye Mr Mackenzie' although she might have been in a tin pot band before that.... Ahhh the Mackenzie's - great little band....
Remember being in Glasgow in the late 90's... by Kid Z	May 30th, 2008 01:57:01 PM
...and mercilessly flirting with a hotel clerk for hours on end because she looked just like Shirley Manson, but with brown, rather than shockingly red hair. Could tell I was starting to annoy her but she was sweet enough to put up with me. She even lifted her blouse to show me a quick glimpse of her navel piercing. Nice girl and she had the sexiest Scottish accent. Good times. Think I'll go have some shots of Cardhu and toast hot Scottish girls everywhere!
Cmon, best Bond song is Golden Gun! by Alientoast	May 30th, 2008 02:35:25 PM
"Love is required, whenevah he is hired!"...Ok, maybe not. But his gun was fun to use in Goldeneye on N64 when you wanted to anger your buddies!
One of the nicest... by Shoegeezer	May 30th, 2008 09:01:04 PM
...people you will ever meet, that Shirley. I've met her a few times, with 6 or 7 year gaps, and she always remembers me (I really am not that memorable) and buys me drinks. That makes her a saint in my book, hope she can flippin' act.
