SPACEBALLS 2 is happening

[Big Blitz]

 

Per community notes - Pullman to reprise his role as Lone Starr.  
 

And his son is going to be in the movie.

But...Mel Brooks was President Skroob.  Pullman was Lone Star.  Plot twist? 🤔

If they do this then hopefully it is good. Usually, sequels bomb from the original. Caddyshack to Caddyshack 2 or Grease to Grease 2 as examples. The only sequel I thought was better than the original was Terminator 2. Both were good movies, however.

Some of the recent nostalgia sequels have been pretty good.  The new Beverly Hills Cop: Axle F, Top Gun: Maverick, Ghostbusters: Afterlife were all entertaining.  Maverick might be better than the original. 

 

Nothing gets made today without attaching the movie to proven IP.  As long as Mel Brooks is involved, I think it will be decent.

Or Dumb & Dumberer. Oof, that was downright painful, and really tarnished the original for me. Anchorman 2 after the opening scene was an extremely hard cringe too. 😬

It has been so long since I watched this I will have to stream it.

 

Plenty of good sequels out there over the years, as well as abysmal ones. So it will be interesting to see where this one goes.

 

(In addition to the others mentioned I would include as good sequels: Star Wars ESB, The Dark Knight, Godfather 2, Guardians of t G, Bladerunner 2049)

I just about went to Cameo and had Tim Russ record a personal message, "We STILL ain't found crap!!!" 😁

Sadly, no John Candy or Joan Rivers to reprise their roles.

Do you think we're being too literal?

I tried the $ followed by H-I-T, but the censor bot still softened it. 🙁😁

Airplane II was good. It wasn't all recycled jokes, which is usually why comedy sequels are bad/stale.

Godfather II is arguably the greatest sequel ever.

The biggest win of this movie happening is Rick Moranis un-retiring for it.

Absolute comedy gem. For anyone unfamiliar with his work prior to the 80s/90s family movie era....the dude is a legend.

I'll watch it for him alone.

I mean...Godfather II, Rocky 2 and Empire Strikes Back were the greatest sequels ever.  Joined recently by Maverick.  

 

For this, I just hope its funny and original.  That would be a big W in my book.
