The fact that you have to explain this is making me feel very god damned old right now.
Let me rub it in then... ;)
That is Sarah Connor from Terminator 1
Damn, thank you for providing your knowledge to rub it in!
that's actually her twin sister (Leslie Hamilton Freas)
Let me rub one out then... ;)
That is Sarah Connors ass from Terminator 2
Tip of the spear, crack of my ass
I see everyone is having a productive morning. You know it gives me a swell of pride knowing soldiers of your... caliber will be leading the charge tomorrow.

What is this arrow pointing at?

Clearly the grain of sand who in time will be ground down and melted to form part of the core processing unit of the terminator.

T2 is 34 years old, I remember reading about it in a paper magazine, when James Cameron said that the molten T1000 should say "Get out" to the helicopter pilot and how the CGI artists were stumped on how to make it happen.
There's something like 2-5 minutes of CGI in T2 and that was unheard of back in 1991.
The actress who played Sarah Conner had a twin in real life, and they use her as a double in some scenes.
Notably one (that I think was cut) has her operating on Arnold's head, and you can see her doing it in the mirror. What they actually did was make a super detailed replica of his head and used her twin sister to mirror her movements. There are videos and stuff out there about it, it's pretty fucking cool.
One of the other notable scenes with her sister was in the steel factory, when the T1000 was mimicking Sarah. The T1000 was actually played by Linda Hamilton and it was her sister with the shotgun.
For anybody not old enough to have seen that movie, go see Terminator, and then Terminator 2, and then stop.
You are missing out.
I also recommend the Netflix anime, Terminator Zero. It's made by Production IG, the people behind Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and SkyDance, and does a great job of being its own thing while being respectful of the first two movies.
I second this recommendation, solid series and it does do a great job of being faithful to the setting instead of just using it as a veneer for some other type of story.

The TV series from the mid-2000s was actually pretty decent, but it was canceled like 2 seasons in and never finished its story.
But yeah, T2 isn't gonna be topped. I think it is a strong contender for best action film of all time.

Definitely a scene that sticks with you
For me what clued me in is how much more muscle she has than the typical playground mom.
Sure she can do it, but when I stand like this and watch children at the playground, the cops show up.
To be fair, this was in her dreams.
So is watching children in thiers
That is pretty bad but it's still not the nuclear option.

And she'll be
Blinded by the li-i-ight. Wrapped up like a douche, another boner in the night
I dunno whether you're trolling or just genuinely don't know the lyrics, but...
- Blinded by the light
- Revved up like a deuce,
- another runner in the night
No, that doesn't sound right.
Are you trying to say that those lyrics make more sense???
It does if you know it is referencing a hot rod.
The lyric is a reference to the 1932 V8-powered Ford automobile, which enthusiasts dubbed the "deuce coupe" (the "deuce" coming from the 2 in 1932, the first year the V8 was available). Springsteen was fond of classic hot rods in his youth, hence the line "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night". As the line is a famous example of a mondegreen because it is frequently misheard as "wrapped up like a douche", Springsteen has joked about confusion over the lyrics, claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a feminine hygiene product that it became popular.

...in the moment
Before the moment. It is very fleeting after all. Take in your surroundings. Be mindful.
Looks like it’s gonna be a hot one.
Yeah, anyone not wear 1 million sun block is gonna have a real bad day, got it‽

Playgrounds are like this now too. Kids playing, not looking at phones, living in the moment. 🙂
Only downside is it makes exchanging numbers a little harder.
Why are you exchanging numbers with kids?🤨
Just a crutch to make things a little easier on myself. I frankly suck at old-fasioned luring.
