Joss Whedon Wants to Buy the Terminator Franchise
Joss Whedon posted an open letter on his blog Whedonesque.com proposing that he buy the newly-available — Terminator franchise for a whopping $10,000!

Dear Sirs/Ma'ams,

I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where 'hood' was capitalized 'cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands.

No, you didn't miscount. That's four — FOUR! — zeroes after that one. That's to show you I mean business. And I mean show business. Nikki Finke says the Terminator concept is played.

The Terminator story is as formative and important in our culture — and my pretend play — as any I can think of. It's far from over. And before you Terminator-Owners (I have trouble remembering names) rush to cash that sweet cheque, let me give you a taste of what I could do with that franchise:

And I've all ready ordered the special extended edition DVDs as Joss Whedon could do it right.

Couldn't agree more.

Also $10,000! - I'm sure i could have a whip round amongst my Terminator loving friends and get that up to $11,000. All i would ask for is 1% of ALL Terminator based revenue, i'm pretty sure i'd recoup my initail investment in about 8 seconds.
