'Objects In Space'
Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Jean Harlow's Bombshell would make a great double feature with It Happened One Night.
If you've never seen it, I highly recommend A Slight Case of Murder with Edward G. Robinson. It's a gangster comedy that is just hysterical.
Many more Spidey movies to come.
I bet they'd like to make a brazilian more, but without Raimi and Maguire I suspect that they'll start their downward trend in quality and ultimately profitability.
Speaking of sequels, what are your nominations for "most pointless sequel ever"? I'm currently torn between "Cheaper By the Dozen 2" and "The Whole Ten Yards", although TWTY gets a point for having a terrible sequel-ish name.
Baby Geniuses 2. Hands down.
The Whole Ten Yards is definitely in the running. The first movie was surprisingly okay, but not great. Certainly not enough to warrant a sequel.
I think the last Christopher Reeves Superman movie (with the environmental theme?) is a contender.
Also Stuart Little 2
Godfather 3
Jaws 3 in 3-D
Garfield 2
Stayin' Alive
Grease II
Three Men and a Little Lady
Kids' movies (or movies with kids) do seem to be among the worst offenders. I'm going to have to disqualify "Stuart Little 2", though, because anything that gives Hugh Laurie a paycheck is okay in my book.
