Terminator Franchise To Be Auctioned Off

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the i'll-be-back-in-syndication dept.

"For sale: One slightly-used Terminator. Still works, minor attitude problems, get it cheap now!' Several sources are reporting that the Terminator franchise is set to be auctioned off just three weeks after another well known franchise, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was sold for $60 million. The present owner, Halcyon, has filed for chapter 11 after a dispute with a hedge fund that lent Halcyon the money to buy the rights to begin with. The auction will include rights to everything but the first two films.

    Please learn to use words properly. Albeit means, literally "Although it be", right? So your sentence makes no sense at all.

    The word you were looking for was "Although". Or perhaps "Although I rather think..." or something like that.

    Never use that word again, k?

    I don't normally complain in this manner, but I've noticed a recent rise in misuse of this word, and it's quite irritating.

    Uh, Terminator 3 (Rise of the Machines) and Terminator 4 (Salvation). Just because they're not great movies doesn't mean that they weren't made.
