McG For Terminator Salvation
By Fred Topel
Sep 1, 2008

McG still has some childhood issues to work out. The director is a successful Hollywood mogul with several TV series currently on-air and a diverse resume of films. Yet he still gets sensitive when people make fun of his name.

He got a bit of reassurance when he showed footage of his latest work, Terminator Salvation, at San Diego’s Comic Con this summer. Scenes of future war zones with new Skynet robots battling the human resistance got cheers from the fans and showed him he was on the right track. Still, he brought up the name thing randomly.

“I mean, I remember when I was on Superman and people were kicking the shit out of me and saying, ‘What kind of guy calls himself McG?’” McG said to a press conference after his Comic Con session. “It’s the privilege of the public to just do that, not know that McG is short for McGinty and I’ve been called that since the day I was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. There’s nothing Hollywood about it. It’s the function of being poor and having three Joes in one household so they didn’t call me Joe, they called me McG, short for McGinty, my mother’s maiden name. But of course, as I say we live in a shorthand society, people do what they got to do.”

Such defensiveness may be unwarranted as people seem eager for his take on the Terminator franchise. Salvation picks up John Connor (Christian Bale) fighting the machines in the post-war future, but the focus is on a new character, Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington). We will also come across familiar faces like Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) in the story.

Well this will kill this app I bet.  I tired it a while back and didn’t really like the interface, plus I already had too much invested in ComicBase (who look to be having issues with their website at the moment).
