FINALLY (Part 2)
Hollywoooooood!!! You finally caught on! You've given us movie sequels such as:• Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol
• Jaws 4: The Revenge
• Seed of Chucky
• Amityville 3-D
• Batman & Robin
• City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold
• Back to the Future III
• Breakin'2: Electric Boogaloo
And if that weren't enough you decide to tell the story backwards with such movies like:
• Excorcist: The Begining
• Tarzan II
• Star Wars: Phantom Menace
• The Lion King 1½
• Batman Begins
• Red Dragon
• Dumb & Dumberer
There isn't much difference between the two lists above. Some did well, some did better! Hollywood, you've been able to make a mountain out of a mole hill. I'm sure I could do the same thing with a six-million dollar budget.
Maybe it's all that Lucas guy's fault. I mean after Superman 3, people were all "Wow, they've really stepped in it. I won't be seeing another one of those movies", because it was a sequel. But after The Phantom Menace, a prequel, people were actually thinking, "Man that one stunk. Maybe the next one will be better."
Now the true test cometh. I dare you to make these prequels, hollywood:
• Robocop: Regular Cop
• The Karate Kid: Miagi's Illegitiamte Children
• Look Whose Talking: Daddy Drank
• 1983 A Space Odyessy: Earth
• The Friday before last
• The Piano: The God Damn Piano
• Pretty Woman: Sex Change
ps. seriously thanks for Batman Begins. That one rocks.

Yeah, Hollywood! And while you're at it, how about:
Grumpy Men
Kramer and Kramer, a Love Story
The Day Before the Day After Tomorrow
Cocoon: The College Years
Apollo 12
And okay, a couple of things about Superman III. Now, I'll grant you the "evil Superman" angle is a bit cliched and along with loses-his-powers / quits-fighting-crime plotline has plagued sequals since the beginning of time. And the fact that both Lex Luthor and Lois were replaced by pale imitations. And the giant computer and attendent animations looked outdated about four days after the film was released. And it's tied with The Toy for most egregious misuse of Richard Pryor.
But you have to admit, it was pretty much Citizen Kane compared to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Put-back-together-the-Great-Wall-of-China-vision? WTF!!??!!?!?!?!11/1!??!?!???!!!interrobang?!?!??!?!??!?
And plus, it gave us the plotline for Office Space.
That movie was good.
Don't go there Nathan. I used to love Superman as a kid. No, not like that. But dude, when he pratically (in my childish eyes) raped that girl. Unh, unh. I was done with the man of steel. Faster than a speeding bullit. Ha. That's what she said.
(sorry)
