I knew Indiana Jones and the Old Country Buffet was going to suck when Sean Connery passed on having a cameo in it.
Whatever fecal matter they try passing off as “Blade Runner 2” will be some PC pablum wrapped up in Harrison’s wrinkles.
Pass.
I also had a gut feeling that Kingdom of the Crystal Cr@p was going to suck, and wisely avoided it. I still haven't seen the film to this day, and never will. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the PERFECT way to end the TRILOGY and they should have let it rest in peace. I feel sorry for those who were excited about Harrison Ford's return and sat there in the theater watching Shia LeBeouf as Indy's son "Mutt" swing through trees. Just imagining what that scene would be like makes me ill. And don't get me started on the "nuke the fridge" scene, I've actually seen it on youtube and it convinced me to NEVER watch the rest of the movie.
On the flip side, Stallone returned to playing Rocky after 16 years and it was a great film, but after Rocky V (unlike Indy 3) you had no place to go but up.
One film I did see that I wish I hadn't was Alien Resurrection. I'd say Riley Scott was spinning in his grave over that one, but of course he's still alive. I hated that film so much I actually bought the Alien collection and the threw out the two Alien Resurrection discs in case I'm ever drunk and decide to watch that movie again. I wish I could erase it from my head.
And on the flip side there, yes I didn't care for Blade Runner, but I thought Prometheus -- which people harshly criticized -- was a very enjoyable film. It made absolutely no sense, but I can say the same for lots of other movies that get positive reviews.
>> Anybody who casts a skinny, pasty, British git as Khan should be hung from a lamppost by the short and curlies. Abrams is just a Star Wars groupie who took a dump all over the Trek franchise. <<
I agree, Cumberbatch as Khan was an unforgivable sin IMO, and made even WORSE by the fact he toyed with the public over the "mystery" villain beforehand and swore up and down that it WASN'T Khan. There is only one Khan and Cumberbatch ain't him.
One of the most depressing movie news I've heard lately is the guy who wrote the last movie and gave us KINO (Khan In Name Only) has been rewarded by Paramount with a promotion to DIRECT the next Trek movie, in time for Star Trek's 50th anniversary in 2016. So a guy who writes stupid action movies disguised as sci-fi and has never directed in his life will be overseeing the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. Puke. Worst decision since tapping Obama to be Commander-in-chief.
