He was saying how the movie industry had changed over the years. He was saying it used to be a sequel was basically a cheap continuation of the story/characters to make a few more bucks and was usually pretty horrible. Nowadays though if the first movie did well, they put even more energy and effort into the sequels and actually attempt to outdo the first movie. So nowadays sequels often are bigger and better than their predecessors.

| Anybody ever heard of A Boy And His Dog ? A co-worker just lent me the DVD to watch....it looks odd (1975 and stars Don Johnson). The premise alreadys seems like it could be an odd classic, but the fact that the screenplay is by Harlan Ellison lends even more credence that it will be an odd but good movie.

|  Spiderman 2 Well I saw Spiderman 2 today and I loved it. I thought it was better then the first. I think you feel a lot more for the characters in this one and Tobey Maguire did a Hell of a job for his dual role. Looking forward to the 3rd one though and I know it is going to be a long wait. The thing I think I liked most about this one though was the fact the spacing felt so much better. It was not just focused on Spidey, but did some good long range shots which was nice. Fight Scenes I thought were also better seemd to have more Punch to them this time around and used the Enviroment more. Just wish I could give it two thumbs up instead of one

| Just rented the DVD Gothica today. It stars Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz and Robert Downey Jr. Awesome suspense thriller.....it was pretty dark and most of the way through you have no idea how she's gonna get out of her situation. But then it all starts to make sense.....I really liked it.

Great thriller movie, but then again anything with Halle Berry gets my vote.

| Saw about 3/4 of They Live really late last night...or should I say very early this morning. I couldn't take it seriously, but it was fun to watch and a neat concept. Roddy Piper (aka "Rowdy Roddy Piper", the wrestler) was really good - better than most wrestlers at acting. I wondered what that real long fight scene was all about, now I know. |

 Actually kinda interesting though. He looks through "special" glasses that enable him to see the aliens in their true form (they look like ordinary people otherwise) as well as see the subliminal messages embedded in everything. There are signs saying "OBEY", "DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY", that kind of thing, that are hidden beneath regular signs. It's funny, but one of the regular signs was an advertisement for Control Data Corporation computers. Yeah, THEY'RE the wave of the future.  | |
