"Weakquel"- Noun. A sequel that's coming out so many years after the original film series ended that one can't even feign interest.

One of my favorite covers of all time was when Statler and Waldorf sang "When I was Seventeen".

I'll pass on it.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

I kind of want to see it.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

It's just...hasn't Stallone already -done- the "veteran returns after years of retirement" story? With this character? [Smile]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Nah, he didn't return in that one. He just beat up a punk kid in a street fight. [Smile]

My brother has the entire original series on DVD, but it has been a few years since I watch 'em.

Stallone, Schwartzenegger and Harrison Ford need to do one last major opus together. Maybe they could get Chuck Norris to participate as well. They could call it the... something Showdown. Ultimate Showdown, maybe.

Hory Crap! That is just so.... ok, yeah, I don't care. Why make another Rocky? They need to make another Rambo. Now that I might be able to at least consider caring about.

Statler and Waldorf were always my favorites (them and the Swedish Chef) and they sure pegged the weakquel.

Actually, I think they are making another Rambo.

Just been reading a chat transcript with Stephen Fry. This quote made me think of this movie/thread, even though it really had nothing to do with it. Fry was asked if there was any possiblity of another Blackadder series, to which he replied:

quote:
Stephen Fry: We sometimes talk of future B'Adder plotlines, the 60s, WWII, that sort of thing. But it never comes to much. A lot of feeling that we left it (discounting the milennium special) on such a high note that it would be a bad idea to go back. Chatted to Rowan at the w/end, he's doing a Bean movie in France and confided that he missed the joys of B'adder rehearsals and all that. But there's nothing worse than an overweight boxer past his prime lumbering into the ring past his sell by date. Best not risk it, eh?
