I was just pointing out the really dumb formatting in the post above mine.

        I'm trying to keep up with the kids and their TextSpeak.

        I go for concision and saliency over conventional constructs because I'm not a goose stepping grammarian conformist.

        I could plead for understanding, in consideration of my U.S. public education...

        ...but, essentialy, the English language IS MY WHIPPING POST!!!! BUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! >8-D

 What the hell are you talking about?  Kids don't indent when texting.

 Nor do they capitalize or make any effort to spell things correctly.

I was not a fan of The Babadook. I really thought they were setting up for a nice twist. All the pieces were there but they didn't follow through with any of them and ended on a meh note.

 Which, given all the knots filmmakers twist themselves into these days trying to make the perfect twist, made the ending refreshing in my eyes.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

What the hell. Talk about the most retconned film franchise of all time; it makes even the retconning in the prequels look mild in comparison. Why piss all over the final lines of T2?

"'The Future is not set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves'? Flush it down the toilet! We have to make a sequel somehow! Moneyz!"

I guess that's somewhat understandable - you want to make a sequel, but you can't, so you cheat and you make that clear from the start - but by the end of the movie, at least change the final message back to its original, positive meaning. What a creative way to piss people off. "Judgment Day is inevitable, you guys...we'll make the most of it!"

Also: worst groaner jokes I've seen and heard all year. It felt like it was missing a laugh track. 

1.3 out of 5 CGI gravestones.

I can't imagine Genisys going over well.

For anyone looking for an improved T3, check out Uncanny Antman's fanedit:

 Erm, you know they changed the original ending to make it open for sequels....

 Erm, no? Sure, they made the ending open-ended so you can pick your own conclusion, but it never flat-out stated "Oh yeah, Judgment Day will still happen". I always thought Judgment Day had been prevented from happening. That open ending was ruined by T3.

 I don't know, I don't think this is a fixable turd. You can remove all the groaner jokes and change the ending a bit, but you're still stuck with shitty CGI and acting. People seem to like Uncanny Antman's version a lot though, so I might give it a shot some day.

I assumed all possibility of Judgement day had been melted in that furnace at the end of T2. I also assumed that original playground ending hadn't been used simply because it looked like a piece of sh*t ;-)

Exactly. Cyberdyne got destroyed, the basis for Skynet got destroyed, both Terminators got destroyed. I don't see how they would build Skynet from the ground up again, yet they somehow did in T3 - which got never explained. Truly lazy writing.

And yeah, future Sarah Connor sure looks creepy.

Searching for perfect logic in a time travel film? Good luck with that. :P

Aren't sequels - in most cases - by definition cash grabs?

Guess we can't get that mad about the prequels anymore, you guise.

We watch Elmo's World every day.

 But that's a reporter asking if there will ever be a sequel. That's not the same as the filmmakers deliberately changing the ending so that there will be room for sequels, which I don't think was their intention to begin with - unless someone has a source which states otherwise.

 Maybe we should revise that we/us rule. I watched Vampire Vixen Babe Chicks last night. You don't speak for us all.
