Piece Description

This was made by editing together audio from "Legally Blonde" and "Terminator 2: Judgement Day." I cut out all of Reese Witherspoon's lines from "Blonde" and all of Arnold Schwartzenegger's lines from "Terminator", then edited them together to make it sound as though they are talking to one another. The result is a satire about the way love is depicted in Hollywood movies.

Review of Terminally Blonde

Pure simple fun. I would have liked it if Mr. Mitchell used made the Terminator more eloquent in situations where only "Affirmative" and "Negative" were used, but this was probably intensively time consuming as-is.

Review of Terminally Blonde

I laughed out loud. A lot. This must have taken forever, and I am so glad that the time was taken to do it. I am going to play this for my friends. It would be great if this, or something like it could be made into some kind of series. Very good.

Review of Terminally Blonde

A very fun piece! Great "color" to a monochrome broadcast. The producer takes sound clips from two very different movies and spliced them together to get a unique story. Very well done. I can only imagine how time-consuming this must have been. I'm impressed.
