The U.S.A. Department of War Crimes has an office whose logo resembles a group of people in a circle doing something intimate, and Secretary of Battlefield Ops Leaks #PeteHegseth has announced that the entire U.S.A. military should effectively shoot itself in the head by pushing Skynet … erm … #Google BullshitNet onto every computer.

When the toady underlings use phrases like "manifest destiny" (q.v.) it's not going to end well.

Some people might be thinking this theme tune is a bit like #TheTerminator but this actually *predates* it. I would go as far as to claim it is also superior. Truly gives me goosebumps.

41 Years Ago Today, One of the Best Sci-Fi Franchises Ever Was Born… and 6 Years Ago, It Died Again

By Ben Hathaway, October 26, 2025, 2:30pm

James Cameron’s The Terminator established him as one of the biggest voices in sci-fi cinema when it hit theaters back in 1984. He could craft lofty narratives about future wars (and, two years later, space marine battles against Xenomorphs) while keeping things surprisingly intimate and devotedly focused on character development. The Terminator may have a seemingly unkillable cyborg tearing across Los Angeles, but what it really is about is a waitress finding love and the tremendous courage and resilience within her she never quite knew was there. But because the T-800 and Sarah Connor became so immediately iconic, the franchise has had an extremely difficult time moving on from them.

But even more than them, the franchise has had a hard time moving on from James Cameron’s sensibilities. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines may have been somewhat profitable (at least once DVD sales were included), but it was still the beginning of the protracted end because the key elements that made The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day so sublime were only being replicated, they weren’t just naturally there.

The Precipitous Drop to an Underrated Conclusion

The Terminator was actually a fairly low budget film. If its $6.4 million 1984 price tag were adjusted to 2025 dollars it would be just $20 million. It then made about 12 times that figure, earning $78.3 million. Seven years later, Cameron’s Judgment Day cost considerably more. Specifically, upwards of $102 million. And, while its gross to budget multiple wasn’t as high as The Terminator‘s, the sequel still pulled in over half a billion dollars, which is substantial now but was jaw-dropping in the early ’90s, especially for an R-rated film.

Judgment Day is widely regarded to be the apex of the franchise. It took the wonderful things established in the first film and dialed them all up in the right way and to the right extent, all the while retaining its character-focused approach. Turning the top-tier villain of the first film and making him a friendly cyborg who bonds with a teen shouldn’t have worked, but it absolutely did. And, when the T-800 sends himself down to immolation while holding up his thumb, that should have been the end. It was the perfect finale, and because of that audiences have found it hard to continue paying for a story that already ended on a fully satisfying note.

After that note-perfect T-800 send-off, four attempts were made to breathe new life into the IP (and make the studio money). The first was the aforementioned Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which is basically a copy-pasted version of Judgment Day, though with infinitely worse writing (that “Talk to the hand” line…yeesh). Even still, it had been 12 years since Judgment Day and there was still novelty in seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger in his most famous role. The end result was a movie that grossed over $430 million, which on the surface isn’t bad, but it looks less rosy when one considers the $187 million budget and the fact it didn’t gross as much as a movie released over a decade prior.
