Who wouldn't want to see two badass legends together in a buddy action flick? Plus it would answer the question of why Myers just won't die. (Hey, there are plenty of examples of much worse retconning - literally within both the Halloween and Terminator franchises)

Does this mean I'm suggesting a shared John Carpenter / James Cameron universe? Yes. Yes I am. Would I also like to see Jack Burton show up halfway through the movie to accidentally save Laurie & Sarah? Then tag along, driving the two ladies nuts with his goofy bravado?

I might have to write this script just to get this idea out of my head! What else can we stuff into this movie?

LOL at anyone who views a chick as a "badass." Also, the idea of Michael Myers being a terminator is asinine, considering his story starts as a little kid. And no, there aren't any examples of worse retconning in the Halloween franchise, let alone "plenty" of examples. By retconning Michael Myers into a terminator, you're retconning literally everything about him, to the point that Myers isn't even a "him" anymore, it's an "it."

Also, why do you keep posting other people's threads from other sites such as Reddit? The idea of a forum is for people to post their own threads. When you post other people's threads you create a situation where the original author isn't even aware of the thread, so he/she won't be able to respond to comments on it.

And what if I post excerpts from an article like say, the Huffington Post or the New York Times, should I not do that since the original author isn't even aware of the thread and thus can't respond to comments on it. What if I post something from MovieChat to another message board. The idea of a forum is also to share information!

"And what if I post excerpts from an article like say, the Huffington Post or the New York Times, should I not do that since the original author isn't even aware of the thread and thus can't respond to comments on it."

Exactly right. In fact, many forums have rules against merely posting an article without adding any comments of your own to it. In a similar vein, many forums have rules against posting a thread and then abandoning it. What you're doing has the same effect as that.

"The idea of a forum is also to share information!"

The idea of a forum is discussion, which is greatly hampered if the author isn't around to discuss it, and the re-poster hasn't added any thoughts of his own. Strictly speaking, it's also a copyright violation, since any original content that anyone publishes in any form is automatically copyrighted to them.
