For a Few Runners More

The Good, The Bad, and The Replicant

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 17 May 2012 21:51 (eleven years ago) link

i keep trying to find one that i can cram "skinjobs" into, but you know, that's about the only fake slur i can think of that seems legitimately offensive. everything i try comes off more gross than funny.

Replicant on a Hot Tin Roof

WINNER

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 17 May 2012 22:32 (eleven years ago) link

when the sequel gets made that has to be thread title pleeeeeze

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 17 May 2012 22:32 (eleven years ago) link

Since it has a female protagonist, obviously the title will be:

Blade Runneress

Or:

BLadee Runner

Tuomas, Monday, 21 May 2012 07:35 (eleven years ago) link

was trying to think of a decent sequel to a classic, that came a decade or so after. there's not many is there?

piscesx, Monday, 21 May 2012 08:14 (eleven years ago) link

texasville?

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Monday, 21 May 2012 08:24 (eleven years ago) link

mm haven't seen that, i think it went straight-to-video over here iirc.

piscesx, Monday, 21 May 2012 08:47 (eleven years ago) link

romero's day of the dead i guess. but that's more of a series than a one-off sequel of course.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Monday, 21 May 2012 08:53 (eleven years ago) link

Freddy Vs. Jason came out 13 years after the previous Nightmare on Elm Street movie (though only 2 years after the previous Friday the 13th one), and it's better than almost any other NoES or Ft13th movie.

Some people seem to think Before Sunset is even better than Before Sunrise, I'd say they're equally good. It's also one of the few movies where the long cap between the original and the sequel is succesfully incorporated in the plot. (It would've been a totally different movie if it was made only 3 or 4 years after the original.)

Tuomas, Monday, 21 May 2012 11:01 (eleven years ago) link

Oh, and I also remember liking The Color of Money, though admittedly I haven't seen The Hustler (which came out 25 years before the sequel).

Anyway, if this new Blade Runner will be a proper sequel and not a remake, I wonder if it'll be the longest pause ever between a movie and its sequel? By the time it hits the screens, there'll be something like 35 years between the two movies.

Tuomas, Monday, 21 May 2012 11:07 (eleven years ago) link

Haha, apparently not! Internet tells me the longest sequel gap is 64 years, between Bambi (1942) and Bambi II (2006). Though admittedly with animated movies it's much easier to make sequels decades after the original.

Oh, and speaking of: Toy Story 3 came out 11 years after Toy Story 2, and it's the best movie of the three.

Tuomas, Monday, 21 May 2012 11:11 (eleven years ago) link

And with live-action movies the longest gap appears to be between The Naked Civil Servant and An Englishman in New York, which is 34 years. (John Hurt plays the lead in both.)

Tuomas, Monday, 21 May 2012 11:15 (eleven years ago) link

was gonna say Psycho 2 but turns out that was only 23 years after the first one! #mindmash.

piscesx, Monday, 21 May 2012 11:47 (eleven years ago) link

there's also that manoel de oliveira belle de jour psuedo-sequel, belle toujours, which came about around 2009, 32 year after buñuel's film.

flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Monday, 21 May 2012 13:20 (eleven years ago) link

55 years between Gone With The Wind and the Scarlett TV mini-series.

Vini Reilly Invasion (Elvis Telecom), Monday, 21 May 2012 16:30 (eleven years ago) link

(thought "decent sequel" is questionable)

Vini Reilly Invasion (Elvis Telecom), Monday, 21 May 2012 16:31 (eleven years ago) link

lol @ Bladeerunner I am using that one Tuomas thx

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 21 May 2012 16:32 (eleven years ago) link

You guys all remember this series right?

I think Jeter wrote two more after that one.

Vini Reilly Invasion (Elvis Telecom), Monday, 21 May 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link

he was authorized by he dick estate to write those as well. I assume they are awful. I know he has a cult following but the one book of his I read (wolf flow) sucked balls.

akm, Monday, 21 May 2012 16:45 (eleven years ago) link

Jeter's Dr. Adder was pretty good, I seem to remember.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 21 May 2012 16:45 (eleven years ago) link

Jeter alternates between hackery and genius. I don't know anybody that's read Dr. Adder or Glass Hammer and not been impressed.

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 21 May 2012 16:46 (eleven years ago) link

He Said You Blade Runner, She Said You Blade Runner, a mixed-up romantic comedy from Ridley Scott.
