The Grand Circle Part Three

Hi from Flagstaff Arizona. We're staying at a very comfortable inn that does hot breakfasts, extra comfy pillows and the service was outstanding - the clerk got us a room even though we checked in well before time. This for a third of the price of the hotels in some other locations which had much less going for them because in those locations they were the only hotels. C'est la vie.

Unfortunately the pool here is heavily monopolised (see I'm still using 's' not 'z) by families of loud trolls. I did manage a quick isolated swim for two minutes before one of these families descended on the pool and after vainly attempting to swim in circles around them I surrendered and returned squelching to our room.

This was OK because the room has a 37 inch LCD TV. I started watching one of the many old movies that cable TV promotes as new because they haven't shown it yet. In this case it was Terminator Salvation. We started discussing the number of movies in some big franchises - eg Alien, Terminator and Predator.

Given that there's been cross overs between franchises eg. Aliens vs Predators, why not Terminators vs Predators and Aliens vs Terminators? You read it here first people. Terminator Salvation features a terminator disguised as a human. If memory serves me correctly, Alien Resurrection ends with a cross between Aliens and humans. Terminators vs Predators might feature Terminators returning to the past to capture Predators to clone them with terminator-humans thus capturing the essential predator skills combined with machine like efficiency and the human capacity for sentiment.

Of course this is highly unlikely but so is Sarah Palin being the next president. Or is it?
Anyway off to see the Grand Canyon tomorrow - that should be fun.
