Joe Willie On The Shrimpbox: Stop This Sequel Madness

Has Hollywood gone mad? The powers that be need to rein in the the sequel madness and the propensity to remake old classic TV shows into feature length films. We've had "Bewitched", "Starsky and Hutch", "Dukes of Hazzard", and "Miami vice". There's been so many Star Wars prequels and sequels that I need a strong dose of NyQuil to help me forget about it! There's even another Indiana Jones movie in the works with Harrison Ford. Say what? How old is he now? 70? 80? Is he gonna wear depends under his khakis? Stop it! A good movie doesn't need a part two! How many sequels have actually been good? One! That's "The Godfather 2". It's almost as good as the first. But even those guys didn't know when to stop. Godfather 3 was terrible. Now there's talk that the Star Trek Movies may be revived. This new one is set before "The Original Series". Kirk and Spock are newly graduated Cadets fresh from Starfleet Academy and are sent on their first space mission. Stop it! Scotty beam us out! It's getting too crazy down here!
