   I know I'm not the first to say it but that is a fucking awful title,   
   just in terms of structure and meaning. What the fuck is "Terminator   
   Salvation"? Without any separation between the two words at all makes it   
   seem as if someone is being saved by terminators, or terminators are   
   being saved by someone.   
      
   It should be "Terminator: Something something something". Or, of the TV   
   show hadn't already used the same word "Terminator Chronicles: Blah Blah   
   Blah" or something similar.   
      
   I mean just "Terminator: The Future Begins" or "Terminator: Salvation"   
   would have made sense.
