Terminator Salvation. We saw the clips, salivated over the trailers and convinced ourselves that Christian Bale wasn't all that bad. We believed the hype. So we spent the next three months counting down the hours until the release and were sure it was something we would never forget... until Transformers 2 came out anyway.
Then the inevitable happened. It's a flop. A thunder cloud pisses down on our expectations and the disappointment is literally unbearable. But this isn't the first time. Various TV series/books/comics/games that once drew us closest to the meaning of life, have systematically been destroyed by the motion picture industry and as a result become dead to us. Overdramatic? Tell us again when you've sifted through the mire of 10 movies which never met our expectations.
