Does his shame have no limits?

Just like the movie!!!

I might sue because there weren't 3 terminators in Terminator 3!!!!

Reading the news link in the original posting, is having a "shape-shifting creature" the ONLY similarity between their script and Cameron's movie? Do the plantiffs honestly think that they invented this idea?
We've seen shape-shifters in Sci-Fi for years, such as in some Star Trek: TOS episodes and as a main character in Space: 1999. Probably the actual Sci-Fi "inventor" of a shape-shifting creature is John W. Campbell Jr. in his story Who Goes There?, which is the source for The Thing, that he wrote in 1938. So, if anything comes out of this frivolous lawsuit, maybe the Campbell Estate should consider suing the Kourtis' for actually stealing this idea.
