That New Terminator and the End of Originality

That New Terminator and the End of Originality

So, in case you haven’t heard, James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Linda Hamilton are working together again on a new Terminator film. They’re saying all the right things: they’re returning to the roots of the original two films; they’re resetting the franchise, essentially; they’re pretending the films Terminator 3 onward do not exist.  And I was on board. Until they said, “…and we want to make it three movies.”

…and then I was very much off board.
