I immediately thought of the films I fell asleep in the theater during (Fire in the Sky, Bram Stoker's Dracula) and the ones I actually did walk out on (Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, a few others) but one that I should have walked out on but didn't was very recent: Terminator: Dark Fate.

I wanted so bad to love this movie that I subconsciously talked myself into thinking it was good. I'm a huge Terminator fan and I've longed to see someone take the franchise where it can and should go with better writing. I squirmed in my seat in the opening sequence when they completely decimated the hard fought victories of the original trilogy. I convinced myself it was good, that the older Sarah Connor wasn't an unwatchable sourpuss. Only after rewatching it did I realize how terrible it was and how it deserves to be cast into the fires of Mount Doom lest it cause any more damage. I knew it in that opening scene, but I rationalized myself into liking it. Booooooo.

Scream. I should’ve driven off and left Vin to take a cab home. 😁 I worked evenings at a large coffee shop and was the only closer in this big cafe of huge windows, just blackness beyond, with a hallway and a couple walls that it was way too easy to imagine anyone could be lurking behind. (He has apologized MANY times since.😂🤍)
