Least promising Sequel/Remake/Franchise Flick of 2020

mainstream american movies had a good run. but now it's gone the way of top 40 radio.

Movies are in the gutter

My reflexive vote for bond could maybe have been better used but i) bond is shit ii) it can count as a vote for the bourne tv show also

The Bourne tv show was (quelle surprise!) kinda shit.

Oh it already came out? I just saw an ad for it and thought it was upcoming

Yeah, the first season has already aired in the US. It's an incredible use of your time, really something to look forward to.

Adverts for Bad Boys For Life everywhere today including the side of the bus, I hated Bad Boys II so much that I had to cancel a night out, still consider it the worst film ever made, on a moral level as much as anything else, wish I could skip forward a month so I didn't have to hear about it.

i love how many movies got one vote. voted bobs burgers bc thousands and thousands upon minutes of it already exist, why do we need 85 more

hadn't realized nu-Bad Boys isn't even directed by Michael Bay, which renders it even more pointless.

i just realized that too!

just chortled at the concept of old bastards being "boys" when I saw on the side of a bus.

For this Martin Lawrence comes out of retirement? He couldn't have just stuck with his A+ appearance in The Beach Bum?

I wondered who voted for bobs burgers! People are well disposed toward the show and I liked what little I’ve seen but yeah the thing of making a slightly longer episode of a sitcom and releasing it to theatres is its own kind of cynicism

I wouldn't want to engage in hyperbole in any way, but I would like everyone who was involved with BBII in any way, extras, dolly grip, set catering, cinema ushers, DVD production plant workers, to be locked up in alcatraz and the key thrown away, also anyone who watched it and doesn't agree with this course of action should go there too.

And giving good reviews to its sequel, even if it's brilliant and nothing like the last one, this also lands you in jail.

thinking of possible gimmicks for The Half Invisible Man 2: Get some troosers on before you get arrested you diaphanous flasher!

Haha I thought bb2 was meant to be c21 action canon (I haven’t seen it, or hot fuzz which I understand to have contributed to its canonisation)

simon pegg will be one of the first ones shipped out to alcatraz, yes.

actually on second thoughts instead of alcatraz we should use guantanamo bay

hadn't realized nu-Bad Boys isn't even directed by Michael Bay, which renders it even more pointless.

^ turns out this is not by Bay by the way

couldn't convince Smith and Lawrence to be played by giant CGI robots (apparently he has a cameo though)

...he retired after The Beach Bum? for how long, two weeks?

Just watched Beach Bum last week btw and he was entertaining, though it felt like a Happy Madison scene floating in the middle of a Korine film

i sorta wish i'd voted for "Minions: The Rise of Gru." haven't seen any of these but if i'm not mistaken, this is the fifth film and Gru is the main character --- they're just now getting around to his rise?? it's a rare achievement for the fourth sequel to actually make all previous entries seem even more pointless, just by its title.

I haven't seen one second of anything Minion-related beyond trailers and the like but the entire enterprise just feels to me like an animated adaptation of chronic depression.

i've experienced both chronic depression and the minion movie and if i had to do one of them again i'd 100% choose the former over the latter

Even in this bullshit field, anything with “the rise of” in the title is going to be extra bullshit

The Originator?

Should make a sequel to Dick called Rise of Dick

Any original property hoping to be a contender in this brave new world is gonna need to have the balls right out the gate to call itself ___ Part 1: The Rise of (character you've never heard of and about whose rise you have no reason to care).

Jungle Cruise 2: Rise of Ecks vs Sever

xxp Ready Player One did that. Spielberg truly is the preeminent director of our time

Chopin: Rise of The Boy Part III

I was v confused by Brahms the boy 2 but I was confusing the boy (which I know literally nothing about” with Disney’s the kid

The Rise of The Boy’s Kid

Closing a parenthetical with a quotation mark is what all the cool kids are doing in 20 btw

IIRC The Boy is a quasi-sequel to Disney's The Kid.

The K2d's Hitman's Bodyguard's Wife: The Boy

just chortled at the concept of old bastards being "boys" when I saw on the side of a bus.

they are "boys for life," which is bad

They get killed in this one and then have to fight crime in the aft- oh wait, been done

o shit waddup: rise of dat boi

Didn't even notice the Minions sequel, would have voted that. Probably my brain was trying to protect me. Minions must be among the top 5 worst movies I've seen in a theater

I saw Parasite yesterday in a packed 6:00pm screening and the previews were:
Ghostbusters Afterlife
Top Gun Maverick
some kind of Bourne-related tv show on amazon (doubly wtf)
Black Widow
In the Heights

I'm allergic to Lin Manuel Miranda's whole deal, but it seemed quasi-miraculous after the others. Part of Parasite's surprising success in N America must be related to how thoroughly demoralizing sitting through those trailers felt. Top Gun in particular played like a witless parody of the thread phenomenon.

This new Scooby-Doo looks like quite a departure.

ok lol

Yesterday I saw a trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 that makes me more optimistic--soundtracked to "Blue Monday" and featuring gloriously lol-80s graphic effects. I think I'm going to have to see this for the art direction if nothing else.

Studios will look at the success of Parasite and the failure of Terminator and they will still say, hmmm, looks like nobody has made a film adaptation of the beloved '80s sitcom Small Wonder, let us throw $800 million at that idea and see how much of it winds up straight in the toilet.

I saw that trailer too, but was disappointed that it had some weird version of Blue Monday with rock guitars. :(
