Ban the Sequel. Remember a Classic.

I know I just posted this morning, but I HAD to post about this:



I have just read that Warner Bros. has OK'd the plans for a sequel to The Lost Boys called "The Lost Boys: The Tribe". Not only is it a sequel 20 years after the original cult classic, but it will be a DIRECT TO DVD release.

ARE THEY F'ING KIDDING ME???? COME ON!!!!

This is a total slap in the face to every fan of this 80's classic!! it basically says "Hey, we know a lot of you have been chanting for a sequel, so we'll give it to you...in all it's low budget, bad casting, copy-cat glory". Everyone knows that straight to DVD means CRAP. It will BLOW Big time and they will figure that it will tame the sequel beast once and for all and get everyone off their backs. Thanks. FOR NOTHING.

I am a firm believer that it should be left alone. It is a stand along movie and a sequel would have to be PERFECT, to live up to the original. It was funny, scary, and such an awesome film that was ahead of it's time visually. Oh, and a kick-ass sountrack too! No one can capture that fire again, especially after 20 years. I cannot believe they are even going to try. What a bunch of dried up hacks.

Soooo...BAN THE SEQUEL!!!
