Hollywood's method today: Take an outstanding portrait that's popular, and make a copy of it. Then make a copy of the copy. Repeat until you have to squint in order to see even a hint of the original genius. |

Sequals typically lose their “magic” after the 1st or 2nd. When you get to 5,6,7 or 8 it is totally pathetic and baseless! Enough already

Ok now I want to know what that photo is from. I do not remember the Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Pearl Harbor, Dresden Stickers.
Never mind I fed myself and found it is Airplane II

"The Day After The Day After Tomorrow", no actors or dialog, just 2.5 hrs of floating cosmic debris with a loop of "Also sprach Zarathustra" performed on kazoo.

"Prequels" seem to be big with the moguls as well.
If you loved "Rocky XII", wull...guess what happened before "Rocky I"!!!

The Last Crusade (Indiana Jones) was excellent...my favorite of the bunch The third Back to the Future was really good as well (IMO of course). |

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. (Beyond awful) Yep....arguably one of the worst sequels in history. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that's worse is Christmas Vacation II. |
