see, with filum stuff there's a common thread.

lazy pursuit of finance over desire to tell a good story.

Is it though? The second film is ignored by the series so it's still a mystery isn't it?
Wonder if Lucas wishes he could do that with the Phantom Menace?

Anything Katie Price / Jordan has to say...

Explaining Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal Rising.

Much sacrier in the first couple of films where you had very little idea of his history and why he's a psychopath. Having it explained in 'Rising' took away the enigma and you almost found yourself sympathising. And you should never sympathise with Hannibal Lecter

It's one of those films I would like to erase from my memory banks, and I don't think that often!
What were they thinking?

A very good point, but I found that the exact opposite was true with Texas Chainsaw Massacre
having heard about it for so many years before i got around to seeing I was massively dissapointed, thought it was really poor.

Then I saw the modern prequal where it made sense of things, I enjoyed that one.

What the island in Lost was.

What about how the Alien ship crashed on Planet LV-426. Do we need the planned prequel Alien film to explain it?

I think they have screwed up Alien so much it would be nice to get it back on track....I am still undecided as to whether I like the proposed idea for the Alien.

the problem with lost was things never got explained hahahaah

[JonRB]

The explanation given in The Matrix for why the machines would want to enslave humanity. To turn humans into batteries. WTF? They could lobotomise them, or use cattle.

A far better explanation would have been that we (allegedly) only use 10% of our brain capacity. They could have proposed that the machines were using human brains as organic CPUs by utilising the other 90%. And even then they would have genetically engineered humans to have stumpy (or no) limbs.

Hell, I was annoyed the director's cut of Aliens showed the colony with people in it and going off to the ship! Some things are best left to the imagination.

I was also perfectly content with vampires just being vampires, without a million films trying to explain mutations, werewolf blood, etc. etc.
