    Default Sequels

    So I'm watching Death Becomes Her. I think it deserves a sequel or a remake. It occurs to me that there are hundreds of movie sequels that have been more than pointless, don't continue the story or share the same cast, and are often straight-to-video. It also occurs to me that out of the thousands of movies that should not have had a sequel or remake, this movie is one I consider to be an exception. Here was a movie wherein the CONCEPT was all that mattered. A person discovers a way to remain young but the consequence is that when they die, they basically become the walking dead. Hilarity ensues as they try to hide their deadness. I think it's great.

    I've heard plenty of people complain happily about sequels that should never have been made. What movies do you think they should have made sequels for?
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    There should have been a Miss Congeniality 3. Miss Congeniality 2 is as wonderful as MC1 and it's ridiculous how low both movies are rated.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!
