Yeah, can't say I felt the same, but...

 jp> How old were you when you saw T2? Did you feel the same way back then?

....in 1991 I was 12 years old. Didn't faze me. OTOH, I'm also the kid who saw
John Carpenter's _The Thing_ when I was like 5 years old. The sight of a
guy's head popping off, sprouting legs, and crawling away didn't faze me
either. So, yeah, I've always been a little weird. :D
