Possibly. It was so bad I blocked it from my memory.

Where's Robocop 3, for that matter?

Or Highlander 2. Or Superman III & IV. Or Jaws: The Revenge. Or the Matrix Sequels. Or Billy Jack Goes to Washington. Or Cannonball Run 2 & Speed Zone. Or Smokey & the Bandit III...

I'll agree with you on Plan 9, Robot Monster and Santa Clause Conquers the Martians but I couldn't even follow what was going on in Manos. Maybe I was too wasted but I think it was so bad that not even the MST3k guys could fix it.

I saw this movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

I remember one reviewer said of Coppola's daughter in GFIII, "She's even a lousy actress when she's just walking."

She's actually a fine director, having learned plenty from Papa Francis. I still can't believe I watched Virgin Suicides, but even more incredible is that is was really good. Lost in Translation was OK, but not nearly worth the hoopla. That wasn't an "understated performance" from Bill Murray -- he sleepwalks through everything now. I hope he's OK.

(or fifth, if you don't count the prequel that was shot, but then never released in theatres)

well, i remember seeing the film at the theater (it was really very good)... the statement makes me wonder if he knows what he's talking about and if he's even seen some of these movies

Jerry O'Connell (Kangaroo Jack, Sliders) is a better actor than Hayden Christiansen.

PS: Jerry O'Connell sucks donkey sh*t.

> One last thing; I saw Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith Friday night. IMHO, it was very good.

I'm glad someone liked it. The acting was so poor, it was impossible for me to suspend reality or get involved with the politics. But I am a loyal Star Warrior/Trekkie. Have you ever seen Star Wars I-VI in the proper order over a few days? I'm sure a boxed set will be under the tree this Xmas, and that will be possible.

Not to hijack the thread--Smokey and the Bandit 2 wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen...

There actually were two Exorcist prequels back a couple of years ago: after the first was completed, the producers rejected it, and had another movie made by director Renny Harlin. The Harlin movie was released in theaters (and flopped), and then the first movie the Harlin version replaced was released on DVD.

All I can say is thank God there was no chance for Thelma and Louise II.

I really looked forward to Lost In Translation, as I'm a major Bill Murray fan.

Perhaps my expectations were too high. Very disappointed.

I think the problem with Lost in Translation is that it was basically a movie about two people bored out of their minds. Hard to make an interesting movie about so bored that meeting another bored person who speaks English becomes interesting. It was well directed though, but at the end you're stuck realizing that absolutely nothing interesting happened.

Mission Impossible was enjoyable. Mission Impossible II was the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. "Here's a bunch of stunts. We'll add the plot and acting later." I refuse to see Mission Impossible III because II sucked bad enough for the two of them.

Sucked. Sucked. Sucked.

"Wasn't," or "Was"?

BTW -- If you should ever have the choice of watching paint dry and watching Smokey & The Bandit 3, keep an eye out for the yacht called Monkey Business, which Gary Hart made famous years later. (WARNING: Loud Herb Alpert MIDI)

Or, for that matter, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry II. What was that ending all about?
