And it's funny that someone mentioned Terminator, because that's a perfect example. The first movie provide a closure. The second movie was solid ending. And the third movie, even if you didn't like it, closed the story.

More like it was second movie that provided definite conslusion (especially Director's cut) and the third movie set a very big sequel hook.

That doesn't make it right, hombre. Ever hear the saying, "Always leave 'em wanting more"? Or the flip side of that, "Don't wear out your welcome"?

Doesn't change that saying "every big project made for money nowadays" sounds rather wrong, since it always was the case. Big movies always were made with profit in mind. And usually only their success prompted people behind them to produce sequels.

As for TS4 - I have confidence in Pixar and I wish the best for their new project.

I mean, if people are happy with More Product For Product's Sake, fine, that's your issue. I truly, genuinely think that stuff has to have a justification for existing or being created, and that raison d'etre should be more than just "Mo' dollaz, yo." Clearly, we disagree on that.

This logic is faulty.
Because, if you go by it then there is no reason for majority of the movies (and anything else in the culture) to exist in the first place.

And as I stated earlier, I refuse to quit observing things deeper than the surface JUST because a bunch of teenagers got on the internet one day and all simultaneously discovered jaded sarcasm. Not Everything Is Awesome Just Because It Exists.

I find this position rather...strange.
It's like admiting, that you can be smart, but most of the time prefer just to be like everyone else stupid-self. I don't think it's commendable and I am not really sure what profit is in it, but whatever.
