more often than not, an unwanted sequel comes out, and it is rarely as good as the original. Although, in a few are better than the original (Wrath of Khan, Terminator 2). Can't think of a prequel better than the original currently.
In any case, which movies would you like to see with a prequel or a sequel?
“Logan’s Run”, what happened that resulted in the creation of the City?
Ditto “1984”.
...I like the scene where he stops in the roadside tavern and looks around to try and find the driver of the rig who’s been terrorizing him, it’s like a Hitchcock movie.
I don’t know if it’s just that they’re ‘too woke’; it seems to me that apart from ‘woke’, they seem to have lost the magic of imagination.
All they seem to do is retread old ideas.
I was driving through a construction zone on the Pennsylvania turnpike around midnight a few years ago. Suddenly I was being chased by a semi with an empty flatbed. I have absolutely no idea why but I was determined he was not getting next to me.
At one point we were doing about 110. I finally got far enough ahead and away from the guy. It went on for several miles.
Prequal to Gone With The Wind would have been interesting.
Born to a Communist couple living in Madrid, the toddler Dolores boards the last train out of town as Madrid is about to fall to the Nationalists in 1939. They get to Valencia and then board a ship to Cuba.
Growing up in Cuba, Dolores becomes active in the Communist Party and joins the 26th of July Movement headed by Fidel Castro. But after he comes to power, she soon sours on his repressive regime and joins the resistance. When Castro's secret police crush the resistance after the bay of Pigs invasion, Dolores flees to the US. Then she makes her way to Maine, hoping to get far enough away from Cuba that Castro's agents won't find her.

In a lot ways, many aspects of the future envisioned in media from the last 100 years has been realized. Even utopian and dystopian elements. And movies have so much spectacle that nothing awes us anymore.
I think real, genuine history has not been done well. The truth is often stranger than fiction. I think if producers could tell a story from history without the need to embellish or change it, some fascinating events never brought to a wide audience could be told.
Prequel and/or sequel.

Being There
I think I’ve said before that I think the main problem boils down to education.
We just don’t have sound education anymore.
If young people grow up with a good grounding in true history and great literature, which contain all of the major themes important to human life, they would have the inspiration to create stories that would truly resonate with people.
But our culture has been so reduced, due to lousy education.
Somebody (D. W. Griffith?) said at the beginning that cinema had the power to change the world for the better.
In recent decades, we’ve seen it rarely doing that.
We are living the prequel...
Do you mean Aliens 2? Because I LOVED Aliens2, but thought Aliens was pretty good!
Yes...that would be interesting. Good thought...
Hahahahahaha this is a great thread!
OK, so how did Khan remember Chekhov?
