Cin-du-fucking-rella 2....

Does this seem strange to anyone else but me. As I recall, there wasn't a "sequel" to that classic tale, but thanks to todays marketing ploys, we now have one.

Thank you Walt Disney, thank you for showing us that nothing is sacred anymore. That even classic tales so embedded in our culture for so long can be squeezed to the last drop for your box office and movie rental/purchase dollars.

Aparently with a ending like "and they live happily ever after" is the lie we all knew it to be since aparently some shit goes down after enough to warrant another movie.

Then again it could be just an hour and half of fluff capitalizing off an established story line.

Let me give you an example on how I feel doing things like this, giving sequels to age old stories, for the purose of squeezing a little more dough out of this cash cow.

Now lets say there is only one Panda left in existance. Now some major television corporatin buys this Panda for a new concept show. This concept show revolves around strapping the Panda down on a four winds and torturing him for a full hour. In this scenario ,for some fucked up reason, this concept show hits it bigger then Survivor and Fear Factor combined. So they keep coming out with more and more episodes, torturing this Panda in new and nastier ways to keep the viewers on the edges of there seat, hands off the clicker for the duration of this show. Now after a point, the show begnis to lose its "edge" and the viewers start droppping off, with the occasional uprise of it when viewers come back to watch it again for "nostalgic" reasons.

Now the sequal is equal to this...

So this unidentified major television corporation then takes it off the air for awhile, giving the viewers time to forget why they stop watching the show in the first place. during this time they let the Panda heal from all the squeezing of its life's blood from it as the revamp the show. A new outlook on the show, younger host, new set, flashier effects, more creative forms of torture, maybe even slap the Panda in a flashy "futuristic" outfit for the revamping. Now you have....

PANDA TORTURE 2: BLOODLETTING THE FUR BALL

Now THAT is how I feel about fucking companies pulling shit like putting a sequel to such a old tale like that.

A bit over dramatic of an example?

Uh yeah, that it is buddy.

Preaty fucking twisted example?

You hit the nail on the head with that one....

Severly sick and fucked up concept?

Ding ding ding, tell them what they won!

I don't feel this way about all sequels to all movies, cause some movies where just prime for a sequel and in some cases, the sequel was better. Like Aliens was a better movie then its predecessor Alien. Or Terminator 2 was much more spectacular and amazing movie then the first one.

But, some movies REALLY shouldn't have a sequel.

The best example I could give is a movie called Omega Code. A particularly horrofically bad movie on its own, but that shouldn't be the only reason this particular movie shouldn't have a sequel.

Let me 'splain...

The Omega Code is a belief that written through out the Holy Bible, there is this secret code that if properly translated and put in to action, will put an end to time/space and existance itself. In fact it will make everything that has ever happened in the past never to exist in the first place. Sort of like wiping the chalk board clean and starting all over.

In the movie, this actually happens, so at the end of it, everything in existance doesn't exist any more.

Alright, so how in the fucking hell do you do a sequel to a movie when all existance was erased in the first one?? Its not like there is anyone around to change the fact.

Oh, and to mention, how the fuck do you make a sequel with the same character from the first one....the guy that no longer exists.....please, explain to me how you make this fucking work.

Not only is there a sequel to it, but I have found out there making a THIRD FUCKING MOVIE!!!

How the fuck to you wipe existance out three times in a row...what the fuck is left after the first time when EVERY LAST FUCKING THING HAS BEEN WIPED FROM EXISTANCE! You can't travel back in time since there is no time to travel back to.....you can't leap into the future cause there is no such thing as the future....its all gone people.

But, leave it to christian operated movie companies to not only completely leave behind plausable believability, but to take it and rocket that bitch into outer space.
