BTW Terminator 4 won't be out this year since they haven't even started filming & aren't for months, 2009 release definitely. And I suppose you mean 10,000 B.C. which unfortunately isn't a sequel to 300 (sad to say it but there will never be a sequel to 300) ...

Ye of little faith....

The key to Serenity 2, I believe, is simply looking at all the sequels that have worked, and applying their formulas to our beloved story.

We could, for example, have:

SERENITY II: THE WRATH OF NISKA (Niska suddenly has pecs the size of Mount Rushmore, and embarks on a course of revenge against the crew of Serenity. A pivotal scene shows Mal in the throes of overacting, repeatedly screaming "Niskaaaaa!.... Niskaaaaa!...." while an expensive rotating helicopter shot capturing the performance puts the movie permanently in the red.)

or....

SERENITY 2: THE ALLIANCE/EMPIRE/BLUE-SUN-CORP/BLUE-MAN-GROUP/BIG-EVIL-GROUP-OF-WHATEVERS STRIKES BACK (The Operative returns, more machine than man -- "twisted and evil" -- and tells Zoe he's really her father. Zoe, rather than pathetically screaming "Noooooooooooooooooo," whips out her sawed-off and blows his head away.)

or....

SERENITY 2: SERENITY RELOADED (Mal flies through the air, with sunglasses and his Browncoat flapping behind him. Back on Serenity, River tells Jayne the key to bending the spoon is realizing that "there is no spoon." "Of course there's no spoon, gorram crazy girl," Jayne snaps. "We ain't got nuttin' but chopsticks on this boat. And butcher knives, too. But stay away from those!" "I can still kill you with my brain," River responds, while Mal continues flying through the air, Browncoat still flapping behind him, for no apparent reason other than that it looks "really cool.")

or

SERENITY 3: THE SEARCH FOR WASH (Serenity surveillance tapes show that right before Wash died in BDM, he did some sort of weird finger-thing to River's face, thus transferring his brain into hers. Not that it wasn't crowded in there already. REALLY crowded. Anyway, a still-grieving Zoe finds out that her late beloved husband is now inside River, and asks River to channel him to her. River agrees. Zoe shows River into her room, where Zoe and River/Wash begin shaping clay into pottery on a potter's wheel. The rest of the crew, seeing only Zoe and River amorously massaging the spinning clay, immediately head to their bunks. Except for Inara, who heads to her shuttle. And Kaylee, who heads out for more batteries.)

or the obvious one....

SERENITY 2: JUDGEMENT DAY (a.k.a. THE RIVERNATOR) (The crew reacts in horror upon learning that River is really a robot named Cameron. "I'm a robot from the future," Cameron says flatly, her voice expressionless, her once-dark and wavy hair now straighter and lighter. Yet she's still dressed in that same gorram red hippie dress from OiS. And just about every other episode. "And what year in the future would it be that you're from?" a confused Simon asks. "2021," the Rivernator replies. "Umnn...that was nearly 500 years ago," Simon tells her. "Are you sure you're on the right set?")

Guess I'm out of the loop.
I had thought T4 started filming a year ago, shortly after Ahnold said he would only act in if filmed in California.
I had meant 10,000 the sequel to 300. I don't look forward to 10,000 BC. What happened to the sequel to 300? After the Battle of Thermopylae with 300 Spartans in 480 BC had such great Box Office, I had understood the Battle of Plataea with 10,000 Spartans in 479 BC was to be the sequel, with the David Wenham role carrying over. What happened? Why will there "never be a sequel"?

It also shows just how much the Firefly universe has gotten to me. I mean, some people are moved enough to create fan fiction. I'm obsessed enough to start scripting out a gag reel.

Personally, I'd love to see Mal flying through the air all Keanu Reeves. Sorry for MATRIX fans out there, but talk about a special effect looking for a movie! OK, so I'm supposed to believe they're in the computer? And if they die in the simu world they'll die for real via some unexplained cyber stigmata? Umnn...nope. Didn't buy it. My disbelief was not suspended.

You know, it's a rare achievement when a movie's premise can actually make TRON look feasible, plausible, and intelligent. They should have gotten an award for that, in addition to awards for the whole "bullet time" thing.

But people flock to the theaters to watch guns appear out of no where and endless bullets fly, and to hell with anything resembling anything we can actually care about. It "looks cool," and apparently that's all that's needed to sell tickets or make sequels these days.

Things looking cool. That seems to suffice. Great CGI where there should be great characters and dialog.

Or torture porn. What the hell is up with that? And now we have a torture porn sub-genre in the guise of castration porn, with movies like Hard Candy and now Teeth.

Characters won't matter. When the torture porn is exhausted and new CGI tricks mined bare, we'll re-mine Cinderella in all its pathetic RomCom variations, women reduced to damsels in need of rescue, their sole virtue their beauty; men reduced to rescuers, their sole virtue their money.

Is it any wonder Pretty Woman was such a hit? She's a hooker, but really a nice person! He's a ruthless businessman, but a real sweetheart! She'll quit turning tricks; he'll quit raiding companies! And our happy ending is thus: She's still hot and great in the sack; he's still worth seven figures. But now they're both nice and have changed their ways and will live happily ever after.



Yup, that there's what sells. There's that Cinderella vision, there's torture porn, there's CGI. And all of it populated with cliches and cardboard cut-outs and to hell with characters we can actually love.

Why, could someone please tell me, are we up to Saw IV? Were there message boards demanding more of this slop? Fan conventions? Did a bunch of people start sending dismembered body parts to the production company?

But who am I kidding? While Firefly came and went, Fear Factor was in the midst of a five-year run....

It's funny, because in the first one, they changed the original last scene to something a little less good because they didn't want to come off as "there's going to be a sequel to this" and what happens? They make a sequel so they might as well have stuck with the better scene. I just love irony like that.

Of course, I'm going to learn from the movie buffs in here that it came out last year or something....

Umm.... National Treasure: Book of Secrets did come out last year. In December. It was pretty good but I prefer the first one.

Also I'd like to apologize to you all for my rant last night. I was in a very grumpy mood. I keep getting a cold ever couple weeks and it's pissing me off.
