THE FOLLOW UP

Okay - so I guess I was a little* too critical on my last post.
(* - I'm stubborn. A 'little' is alot to admit.)

TAKE TWO

I know I said that sequels and prequels wern't really my thing - but I lied. Sometimes they're exactly what I need. (I'm a girl - I'm aloud to change my mind.)
After a year passes from a films first release you will sometimes find yourself watching that same film, again, again...and again, and then the news of a sequel is released and the feeling is great.
It sometimes feels like a catch up with an old friend. (Yes. I just got deep.)
So in many ways a sequel can leave us feeling like this...


AS LONG AS IT'S MADE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

Personally I can't watch a film knowing the only reason it's been made is to take my money. (I said I was stubborn.) I can however watch a film if the reason it's been made is to please the fans and to enjoy (I know I'm probally not making sense...I'm getting there.). So if the sequel is something new and exciting and hoped for by fans - then go ahead - MAKE THAT SEQUEL. BUT if a film has been made with no originality and to merely cling onto the success of the first then jog on.

CUT

I do hope this made sense - for every time I confused you - yep, you guessed it - have a drink - or eat.
