I've only ever walked out of 3 movies before in the theater:

Legends of the Fall, Mr. Wrong, and The Scarlett Letter. (the latter two being an ex-girlfriend's choices)

Meaning that Legends of the Fall was your choice? Wow.



"He chose poorly."

oh hells no. I didn't choose LEgends of the Fall either. I just didn't see that with that particular girl.

That one was during my high school days of theater hopping, and me and a couple friends went. My choice was Demon Knight and we saw that first. Someone else chose Legends of the Fall. That bitch. (what made it worse was that it was a guy that picked that - AND he fucking liked it. That bitch)


As far as BW, one of my fraternity brothers had a copy of it on tape before it came out in the theaters, before it was widespread that it wasn't real, and we watched it in the main room of the fraternity house with all the lights out. MOst of us hadn't heard of it when we watched it and he sold it to us like it was real. Going in like that, the film was very fucking scary. I even sat through the shaky camera that was giving me motion sickness because I was gripped. However, if I went into it knowing it wasn't real, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, and most likely would have walked out when I was getting said motion sickness.

OK here's a sequel question. Why is it the third movie of a series usually sucks balls compared to the first two? In the past two weeks, we've seen Spidey, Pirates and Shrek and while they were decent, they weren't even close to being as fun as the previous flicks. Godfather III, Lethal Weapon 3, even Jedi sucked compared to the first ones... so why is it?

I think it's a case of the filmmakers just wanting a cash grab instead of fleshing out the original story. Either that, or they just totally hit a wall creatively-speaking. They had a hit with the first one, went a little farther with the sequel and totally ran out of juice by the third one.

There are good examples of third movies: Return of the King, Pirates (I thought it was as good or better then 2), Indy and the Last Crusade, Revenge of the Sith (better then the previous two).

Halloween 3 sucked though.

We does what we can. And it's not that wierd, really. I just made sure that in my limited time doing theatre for money after college that I was involved in really good shit so I could actually earn people's ticket money instead of asking the government to let me suckle from the public nipple because no one would pay to see my dreck.
And then I got married, and feeding the family took precedence, so it's all history, anyway.

agreed. And here are more:

Nightmare on Elm Street 3 was way better than 2.

Terminator 3 wasn't better than 2 but wasn't that much worse.

Army of Darkness was a great part 3.

Back To The Future III was better than part II.

What about Die Hard With A Vengence vs. Die Harder?

I liked the 3rd Harry Potter movie way more than the 2nd.

but...

Alien 3 was bleh after Alien and Aliens were so damned good.

Karate Kid III sucked ass while the first two are awesome.

Naked Gun 33 1/3 wasn't as good as the first two.

Rambo III was pretty meh, too.

But Rocky III was so cool.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

For every Rocky III or Nightmare III, you have Jurassic Park III or Look Who's Talking III (or whatever they called it) or that abortion known as Batman Forever. It's why I said the third movie USUALLY sucks compared to the first two.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Jurassic Park 3 was probably better then 2. Both both sucked so much compared to the awesomeness that was the original. I love Back to the Future 2. Look Who's Talking Now was dumb too.

you and your semitic semantics.

You're just pissed they never made a sequel to Surf Ninjas. Speaking of which, your boy Reyes was in The Last Dragon and his name was Tai. Close enough, right?

[salmonjunkie]

Ernie Reyes Jr. is a Filipino who likes to play characters from Patusan. Filipinos are Pacific Islanders, and only count as Asians when it's in our best interest to do so (like when starting car clubs, or finding DJs for 'asian-night' at the nightclubs, or adding to university percentages). Patusan is a fictional country, much like Cambodia. And if I don't count Cambodians, then I can't count Patusanians. or is it Patusaneese?


So when does Schinder's List 2: Electric Joogaloo come out?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Huh I didn't know Filipinos aren't really considered Asian... y'all are some vindictive mothers.

The funny thing about Schindler is Spielberg has said a ton of times that if he made that movie in the 80s, he would have designed it like an Indiana Jones movie, with the Joos escaping the Nazis the same way Indy did.

[salmonjunkie]

It depends. I consider them asian and pacific islanders. some only asians, and some only PIers. MOst asians-americans do consider filipinos asians, though. I joke about the whole "they're asian when it's convenient" often - especially among filipino friends.

Hell, some asians consider Indians to be seperate from asians.


So instead of Indiana Jones, we would have had Jerusalem Cohen?
