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.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

move out and draw fire

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

2 Fast 2 Furious

I think this got disqualified from the Most Pointless Sequel list as soon as they made #3.

I thought that was an Internet joke. So there really was a third one?
