Though I was all prepared to check out the teaser trailer for the fourth Terminator movie later tonight (it was supposed to come online around 9:00 p.m. EST), it appears that the video is available online right now. And it's pretty spooky.

The footage, such as it is, is scratchy and choppy, cutting in and out ominously while Christian Bale, as John Connor, explains that "this is not the future my mother warned me about." The scariest part comes in the last few moments — and that's the part that I think will make audiences cheer when they see this before The Dark Knight this weekend.

The movie won't open until May 22, 2009, so let the insane hyping begin. To check out the teaser, read more.
