Name:
Location: Okinawa (Normally Thrilling Thiells), NY, Japan

I am a cool laid back cat that like to be all hip on the fun spots in big cities (I know hot spots in N'orleans and learned of alot in NY). I love to travel and meet new people and just chat for hours as if we are old reunited friends. I am also heavily into movies and AFI's 100. I might want to become a film historian or something like that. I LOVE baseball!! I just cant get enough of it, and there is plenty here in Japan.

Sequels.

Why in the world does the Hollywood world think we need sequels. Yes I will give you that Star Wars and Godfather movies needed sequels to explain deeper the characters and where they came from. But does that formula hold true for every movie. More less than we would like to admit. Why did Father of the Bride and Chinatown need sequels?? They stood just as well on their own. No need to add more as we weren't overly concerned with these characters. They did their job for the years that they were in existence. And some movies really would be great movies if not for the sequels. Especially in the case of the Rocky Movies. A few years ago a poll went out by ESPN for their 10 greatest sport movies of all time and #1 was 'Raging Bull.' A- cause it is one of the best fucking movies ever. But B-it captures the triumph and the tragedy that follows a boxers career. A close up on the tragedy of humanity that was rivaled only by the original 'Rocky'. Point being, Rocky would have of been #1 if not for all the sequels. And now Stallone is doing Rambo IV and Rocky VI. The Jews have a word for you Mr. Stallone, and it is schmuck!! Do you need money and attention that bad?? Just stop. I have to stop here cause I am about to go into a 'Raging Bull' tizzy and why that is the best piece of art put on film in the last 30 years and veer away from the subject.

FIN.
