Unnecessary Sequels

The Nazz
08-04-2007, 06:02
We've all seen them--or seen the trailers at least--and wondered why anyone thought a sequel was necessary. At the top of my personal list here are the two(!) sequels to that piece of shit "Final Destination."

So here's the contest (http://www.originalalamo.com/sites/sequels/about.html). Or if you aren't a film making team and just want to toss out ideas for future unnecessary sequels, here's your shot. As big a bunch of movie geeks as we are around here, we ought to come up with some whoppers.

As for me, I'm thinking "The Passion 2: There's Something About Mary Magdalene." :D

I've long believed that you can make any sequel title funny simply by attaching Electric Boogaloo to the end of it. :p

There's the standard "Hamlet 2: Where did everybody go?"

I think they did that--it's called "Rosencrantz and Guilderstern Are Dead." Which reminds me of the worst Hamlet performance ever--at my university.

At one performance, one of the actors had his mobile phone go off in his pocket while he was on stage, and when he went to turn it off, he dropped it and it skittered away from him, still ringing. He froze, and a prop guy crawled out on stage on hands and knees and retrieved it.

Then the performance got really bad.

The scene where Polonius is sending Laertes off--one of the minor characters in the background lost the phone. That was inexcusable, but it is student theater. What happened later was worse, because it was the faculty director who made the error. The two actors playing Rosencrantz and Guilderstern doubled as the characters who come in at the end and say "Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are dead" with only a minor costume change. The two actors were also very distinctive looking--a tall black man and an overweight Asian woman. It was like we'd wandered into a Becket play all of a sudden. And the guy playing Hamlet was so bad that there was audible laughter from the audience in his death scene.

The problems were legion. The most disturbing thing involved something outside the performance. I was there because I was teaching a lit class on Drama, and my students had to write a review. But some of my students were also Theater majors, and they were in a class where the teacher was a grad student--he was Hamlet--and he had them write a review of the performance as well. Many of them came to me and asked me for advice. I told them that I thought that was a conflict of interest, but that their options were to either give the teacher what they thought he wanted or go to the head of the department and complain about the assignment. I think they kissed his ass for the grade.

That's unfortunate. I actually had rather a similar experience in college, oddly enough - my Theatre 101 prof had us write a review of a show he directed. Luckily, his show was merely moderately bad rather than incredibly awful, so I got away with an honest A by just spending nine-tenths of my review discussing how nice the lighting and set design were.

I am not kidding, when I was doing dramaturgy in a screenwriting/playwrighting class someone actually tried to write that script.

Phantom Of The Opera 2 : It Aint Over 'Till The Fat Lady Sings

Don't laugh. Apparently Andrew Lloyd Webber is making a sequel to Phantom of the Opera. Seems pretty unnecessary to me...not to mention beyond unfaithful to the book...considering that he, you know...DIED AT THE END OF THE BOOK! I'm really not sure it's the best idea; I liked the way the musical ended and how it was just sort of a mystery. I haven't yet read the book the he's basing the sequel on, so it could possibly be decent, but I doubt it since the only things I've heard about it from the fan community have been bad.

Does anyone else find it curious that the same guy who wrote the teen classics "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles" also gave us "Home Alone"?

I'll give the original this much--it was watchable. I saw it a number of times; the hazard of being a parent of small children in a place where there's no cable. But it's certainly not the stuff of Hughes' earlier films. Even "Some Kind of Wonderful" was better.

Clearly, you need to reread Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.

(Of course, it should be noted that I tend to recommend reading and rereading R&G to everyone, seeing as it's quite possibly my favorite play. :) )

Agreeed. The play is certainly VERY good. In fact, I don't just recommend READING it. I say go SEE it. That, and Waiting for Godot.

I'll put it on my July list. That's about the first time I'll have the chance to read anything other than what I'm teaching and my students' essays. And if you've never read Fortinbras, I highly recommend it. I had the chance to play the ghost of Polonius when I was in college, but I couldn't afford the time away from work for practices. Wish I'd found a way.

We've all seen them--or seen the trailers at least--and wondered why anyone thought a sequel was necessary. At the top of my personal list here are the two(!) sequels to that piece of shit "Final Destination."

So here's the contest (http://www.originalalamo.com/sites/sequels/about.html). Or if you aren't a film making team and just want to toss out ideas for future unnecessary sequels, here's your shot. As big a bunch of movie geeks as we are around here, we ought to come up with some whoppers.

As for me, I'm thinking "The Passion 2: There's Something About Mary Magdalene." :D

Tarantino needs to stop making films. Grindhouse was right up there with "Mars Needs Women" in terms of cinematic abominations.

So you say the same thing about their Dune 2000? In which case, I agree. Although I'd say that the unnecessary sequels rule applies to the "original" as well. :p

Event Horizon II: What's that rift in space?

Damn.. I just realised I'd rather like to see that one.

OK, perhaps..

The Heist II: Because the fist could've been worse

Plot: A bunch of old farts try to steal each other's medicaid, as slowly and with as little dialogue as possible to avoid suffering heart attacks.

Personally I'd rather watch "Titanic II: Damn it's cold down here" 500 times in a row than watch the first Heist flick. Speaking of which... Titanic II was already made, wasn't it? - Some long, dull thing about subs floundering about, doing nothing in particular for a couple of hours, while the Mr.Fantastic director of Titanic held an even duller speech.
