I found PotC II very funny. Not the startling delight of the first one, but that wasn't possible. A bit self-indulgent towards spectacle, but still fun.

I loved the Matrix as a cyberpunk extravaganza.

Reloaded and Revolutions had me checking my watch frequently to see how much longer I had to stay awake.

I am willing to believe that my not being able to understand what the over all plot was supposed to be was because I wasn't paying close enough attention, but I blame the movies for not entertaining me enough to care.

Maybe I should try watching them with more fast-forwarding, I dn't know.

What I liked about the second Matrix movie was the realization that Keanu was perfect as Neo because he was exactly on the audience's level; every time I thought to myself, "Huh?", there he was on screen to go "Huh?" (I wanted to like the second one, but I just found it confusing and dull. I respect what they were trying to do with the story, but I couldn't follow it and couldn't bring myself to care. Didn't see the third one.)

I just saw Little Miss Sunshine with my mother and liked it more than I expected to. I went in expecting it to be your Standard Quirky Indie Movie, which, okay, it basically was; but (a) I *like* Quirky Indie Movies and am apparently not tired yet of their tropes; and (b) the climactic scene was one of the funniest and unexpectedly sweetest scenes I've seen in a movie in a long time. Really fun.

Just seeing The Matrix almost bored me to death, so I didn't see the sequels. I didn't really expect to like it, but I thought I'd at least understand why other people did. I don't think I even accomplished that much.

Though, afterwards, I called a friend who I remembered being enthusiastic about it, and she reassured me by saying that she liked it because it was very pretty, but it didn't make any sense.

Now you're thinking of Underworld.

Underworld wasn't good, but I can't really say that it bored me.

I'm having a hard time getting my mind around the fact that 2 Fast 2 Furious isn't the worst sequel ever. Not that I've ever seen it, but come on (/Rob Corddry).

I haven't seen it, but I love it just for the local movie reviewer renaming it 2 Fast Bi-Curious.

It was okay. Really not the worst ever, not in a world with the Matrix sequels and Highlander 2.

2 Fast Bi-Curious

Hah!

You know, I first typed 2 Fast 2 Furious, but then I thought, well, I haven't seen either movie, so that would be snotty, and mostly I'm cranky about it because it's been parked on every movie screen here for months, taking up space.

I also thought about mentioning The Mummy 2 because, while I love the first one, I was in actual physical pain from the second. But it's not necessarily a pointless sequel... The Mummy could have easily become an Indiana-Jones-style franchise. But Weisz's awful wig and the whole child actor thing pretty much killed that dead.

How about Pointless Sequels Yet To Be Made? Like Schlindler's List 2, or Casablanca Revisited. Or Citizen Kane: The Lost Years.

Oh, and off-topic, I have just decided to make a movie about a couple criminals and their sex-worker friends, and call it Pros and Cons.
