Turn up the good, turn down the suck. The 'bangers are back. Greenlighted in April, FUBAR II, the sequel to the 2002 Sundance film FUBAR began shooting Monday in the Tar Sands of Alberta. FUBAR is the largely improvised 2002 mockumentary about headbangers directed by Michael Dowse (who also wrote and directed 'It's All Gone Pete Tong', and gave us the surreally terrifying mascot for the perils of drug addiction, the Coke Badger - NSFW). A labor of love, the film was funded largely by the credit cards of Dowse, his friends and his family, many of whom helped in the production of the film. His father took a second mortgage on his house to help pay for the film's $400,000 budget. The movie was hand-edited with manual splicing equipment. All of which paid off; it won a Genie award for the editing and launched Dowse's career (though learning editing by working at MuchMusic probably helped). Co-writers Paul Spence (Deaner) and David Lawrence (Terry), will reprise the improv roles that were part of the inspiration for the film. Lawrence and Spence's chemistry comes honestly; from experience. They grew up a few houses apart, both attended the Loose Moose Children's Theatre (where they first developed the Dean and Terry characters) and they've worked together in other projects. The Loose Moose is where the improv technique of Theatresports originated, and has produced its share of talent including Mark McKinney and Bruce McCulloch from Kids in the Hall, Norm Hiscock (producer on Corner Gas, Parks and Recreation and King of the Hill), and Veena Sood.

Pork and Beans II, now with twice the meme-fun. (This makes sense, as some blog entries about the original video mentioned that the Potter Pals were meant to appear but got waylaid in shipping.)

Edison: 1, Mars: 0

Edison's Conquest of Mars! Garrett P. Serviss' unofficial, 1898 sequel to War of the Worlds, featuring Thomas Edison and Lord Kelvin as the heroes. It seems this book originated the space battle and the ray-gun, not to mention the aliens-built-the-pyramids plot. Sounds like a blast.

Whyy??!

Sequels, prequels and remakes, oh my... First Bugs, now Lamar. Having just heard that there will be a new Revenge of the Nerds movie next year, I really wasn't prepared for the coming onslaught.

It really never ends, does it?

Indiana Jones to return in a fourth installment. "Paramount insiders say the picture will be aimed at a July 2005 holiday weekend berth." Yay!

"This is a war, and we are soldiers."
The first teaser for "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions" has hit the web (QT only). Is this the movie that is going to break the Spider-Man/Star Wars Episode 2 records? Do the fans want/need a sequel? Can they possibly top the "cool fight scene" quotient of the last movie?

Can a sequel be so bad that it could stop studios from producing them? Are remakes ever justified? Do we even want to stop the what mutations appear outside of the movies? All this as we may experience the most horrid sequel of all!
