But upon scouring the interwebs for random info about anything, I stumbled across an article that said Will Ferrell said it wasn't looking good for a sequel, because everyone's too busy. Which I'm going to assume means everyone else is too busy, cause Will sure doesn't seem to be doing much of anything right now. I mean, did anyone even see Land of the Lost? *(According to imdb.com - Will currently has 11 movies in development. Touche sir.)
But that's beside the point. In an age where Hollywood is scared of taking a chance with something original, and sequels and remakes are the norm, I'm actually happy this sequel might not see the light of day.
What's worse than a bad movie? A bad sequel. Take Spiderman 3 as an example. If you've ever met me, you know my feelings on that movie. When I saw it opening day, during the emo-dance number, I loudly informed the theatre that it was 'the worst movie I've ever seen'. Then why did I see it on opening day you ask? Because it had potential! I mean, it had Venom in it! Goddamn. They ruined one of the coolest villains ever. People are upset that they're rebooting the Spiderman franchise without Sam Raimi and Toby McNerd, but I think they waited one crappy movie too many.

The ultimate travesty is when they take a good movie, rush out a sequel, and destroy how you felt about the first one by having to associate it with the mess that was the second. I know it's guaranteed money for a studio, but it still sucks. Unless of course I write a hit movie, then they can make all the sequels they want while I take a swim in my vault, a-la Scrooge McDuck.

Pfft, yeah right, and I bet you're one of those goons who thinks Aladdin 4: Jafar May Need Glasses was a real stinker too.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the sequel far surpasses the original. New Moon for example. Speaking of which, I have a couple of hours to kill...
