A Message to Hollywood Movie Executives
Could we please start getting back in the habit of assigning numbers to the titles of movie sequels? You're not fooling anyone with this Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties or The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift bullshit. We know that they're sequels! So, let's be good little movie execs and add a 2 or a 3 or whatever number is supposed to go at the end of the title. I'm so sick and tired of these long-winded movie titles, almost as much as the fact that there are so many sequels being made in the first place! I mean, come on:
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties (a.k.a. Garfield 2)
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (a.k.a. The Fast and the Furious 3)
Ice Age: The Meltdown (a.k.a. Ice Age 2)
X-Men: The Last Stand (a.k.a. X-Men 3)
Underworld: Evolution (a.k.a. Underworld 2)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (a.k.a. Pirates of the Caribbean 2)
You can say one good thing about Tom Cruise. At least he named his last film Mission: Impossible III and not something stupid like Mission: Impossible Cubed or Mission: Triple the Impossibleness.
Right now, the only films anyone needs to be going to theaters to see are Cars, A Prairie Home Companion, Over the Hedge, and Thank You for Smoking. See those and you don't need to return to the theater again...at least, not until Pirates of the Caribbean 2 comes out.
