McG reacts to Terminator 4 ending leak
And defends his name...
Okay, that's it, we've decided. However good or bad Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins ends up being, the McG blog is brilliant .
Not only has he immediately reacted to yesterday's ending leak with a nice: "By the way, there are only three people who know the ending" (which, whilst not being a outright denial of yesterday's Ain't It Cool story, is good enough for us) but he's even defended the source of even more fanboy ire - his name.
Look: "Also, I realize my name is ridiculous. I was born Joseph McGinty Nichol. McG is short for McGinty. I have been called this since the day I was born to create separation from my Uncle Joe and Grandpa Joe. I realize it sounds like some Hollywood nickname, hip-hop choice.
But the truth is, this is simply my name - for every day of elementary school, every zit-filled day of high school. I have been taking shit for it ever since. I get it, I would think it's lame too. But it's just a name, and to change it now would seem fraudulent."
This thing is genius. We're going to start checking it every day. Go and have a look for yourself.
