uh-huh - see, i didn't know metals made noise when heated up. But i've always found the sound the t-1000 makes, especially when he gets shot, very much sounding like he's crying.

the sound tin makes when bending does not sound like crying, at all, though - i connected the two just because the bending noise is referred to as a "cry".

who knows, maybe there was some influence from the "tin cry" reference there, maybe not - i like to think there was.

now, where's my tin foil hat? 😄
