Internal E-mails, “Terminator Genisys” Marketing Division, Paramount Pictures

Art Department:  Okay, so we have a movie about killer cyborgs, killer robots and embattled human resistance fighters, all time-traveling from a nightmarish dystopian future in which human beings are nearly eradicated.  Would you like imagery focused on warfare raging across a scorched future earth?  Or maybe a detailed image of the liquid metal terminator attacking the heroes in 1984 New York?

Management:  You know what?  Just place an image of the actress’ caboose front and center.

Art Department:  The actress’ what?

Management:  CABOOSE.  BACKSIDE.  Get your head out of your comic books.  Also, hold off on the title script.  We’re thinking of renaming this movie “Backside To The Future.”

Art Department:  Well, should we also show a future battle occurring around her?

Management:  Put her in a god damn wheat field.

Art Department:  What?

Management:  Send more coke to our office.
