That is so fetch!

++ THIS HAS MADE ME A VERY VERY HAPPY BUNNY. Casting and role spoilers for Dollhouse, but are nonetheless awesome, and the article refuses to call SciFi "Syfy". Right on.

++ Just a random thought: Disney Channel should really bring back all the classic Disney Channel stuff, you know before it became a revenue for tween shows that are repeated ad nauseum. I'm serious. I mean, some of the stuff is cute if a bit overdone and overrated, but things used to be so diverse and filled with a wide variety of things for people of all ages, not just kids and preteens. I want the classic Disney to return, like syndication of their old shows or even the shows they used to syndicate that were from other countries or from other channels. It's the same with Nickelodeon, too. I was watching the old school Nick, with the old cast members of All That and Kenan and Kel and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? and all of those classics. Kids television just isn't as it used to be, somehow I think ours was a bit better because of that variety. Oh, the 90s.

++ Is there such a thing as overkill in a franchise? The HSM movies are done, as far as I know, but here comes The Final Destination, which happens to be the fourth, and there's yet ANOTHER Bring It On movie coming direct-to-DVD. I enjoyed the first two FD films, mainly because of Ali Larter, but didn't see the third and won't be seeing the fourth as they've gotten cheesier, in my opinion. The BIO films, I don't even know. I don't think they anticipated this kind of a franchise, but the first with Kristen Dunst, Clare Kramer and Eliza Dushku will remain the best. I also enjoyed the one with Hayden Panettiere, but that's a given. The rest, no.

++ I have this urge to watch Mean Girls all of a sudden, because it's such a fun, entertaining and quotable movie. And I love those kinds of teen movies. And I LOVE Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried in it, so hilarious.

They are already out on DVD, all seven seasons I believe. However only available in Canada, but since I have a region-free DVD player I can buy them for myself. ;)

I loved the first two Final Destination movies because there was continuity, the second had more consistencies with the first (bringing back Ali as Clear Waters, for example, and tying in the mythology). I only saw bits of the third via online and I thought that and the new one are the ones trying too hard, but heh whatevs.

Well, that gives me hope that it may be released in the US one day lol.

I thought the second one was trying to hard, the main character seemed to try and channel the main guy from the first movie a little to much, and the whole Ali Carter returning was just overkill. I loved the third one though, I honestly thought it would be the last one though lol.

I'm not sure what's the hold up though, but things are slowly being released onto DVD these days. It took forever for them to have Clarissa Explains It All on DVD. Now I'm just hoping if they'll have an All That collection set or something, that would be sweet.

I didn't think it was overkill at all, more like a conclusion of sorts with her character. It was a pleasant surprise to see Ali again, since I loved her character in the first (sad that she died though, but it made sense since you really can't cheat death, so she was the long-lasting of the original folks of the first one). The ending was a bit cheesy, I'll admit that. But I disagree it was overkill. Being a sequel means making those connections to the first, whereas the other two in the franchise aren't really doing that from what I've seen/read. But I haven't seen the last two fully, so I can't make a full judgment. I just don't know if I'll like them the way I do the first two, is all.

Either way, I hope this new FD will be THE ABSOLUTE LAST one. No more trying to continue the franchise when there's no need to, imo.

I know, and then you see a bunch of shows you've never even heard of released on DVD first. Maybe they're not as popular as we think lol.

Being a sequel means making those connections to the first
And this is why we are disagreeing about the sequels lol. I found the connections(other than the obvious), to the first movie to be annoying which is one of the reasons why I didn't like the second movie. I liked it better when there were vague connections to the people in the first two movies so much better. All the connections to the first movie that was in the second one felt like a bad repeat of the first one while referencing it at the same time.

I guess I feel like the sequels should mention the first movie to some extent, but leave it at that because of the type of movies that they are. The third one did reference the other movies, but not much. And you learn that the two survivors from the second movie are dead, but they don't mention how(for that you have to go through the special features on the DVD and at some point you come across a newspaper article which mentions what happened to them).

We should be movie/TV critics or something lol.

It's funny because I saw an ad on TV adverstising the DVD release of Pete's Dragon and I was like OMG THAT'S FINALLY OUT ON DVD?! Because I loved that movie growing up. It's fun to see all my childhood memories arrive on DVD, though most of them probably won't be and that's just sad. :(

Hehe, we should. We should be like debate critics since we have very differing opinions on many things, lol. We could be like Ebert and Roeper!

I know, and then there are sequels made to movies that there shouldn't have been a sequel. Like a Cinderella sequel, come on now lol.

We could be like Ebert and Roeper!
Who are they? lol.

I think I heard somewhere that they're stopping with all those unnecessary sequels now, at least with Disney sequels anyway. Which if this is true I say THANK GOD! No more of the ridiculous Mulan 2, Little Mermaid 2, Cinderella 2 or whatever else. Leave those classics alone, and everything else!

Film critics who review movies and give, in their opinions, on whether it's worth to see or not.
