I don't know about that Narf, everyone I know who saw the movie thought it was a great movie. In fact you are the first person in over two years to say its poop.

I did not know that they were making a sequal. I don't know about sequals as they usually really muck up the pooch.

wasn't me. *points Atrocities head at Puke* you want to talk to him.

EDIT: Sorry Guys, wrong name.

First of all, I'm probably the only one who still hasn't seen Pitch Black. I want to, especially now that Vin Diesel is such a big star, but just haven't gotten around to getting the dvd. I haven't heard anything about a sequel, and it probably wouldn't star Diesel, as he's probably making the sequel to XXX right now.

As far as sequels go, I'm with Atrocities. Most of them shouldn't have been made, or they should have gotten the original writer to do the script. I think the most disappointed sequel I've seen was Highlander 2. Talking about atrocities (sorry, Atrocities, but it's the only fitting word I can think of to describe that expreience). The only sequels I can think of that surpassed the original was Empire Strikes Back and Star Trek II.

no I think Vin is in it - I hear the reason they couldn't get him for 2fast2furious (god, that looked bad) was that he was making this. it wasnt called Pitch Black 2, but had a different name. Looked more action and less horror, like Aliens 2 to Alien. Looked really cool, and even some alien sculpture stuff that looked alot like Giger's work.

The rocketman sytle movie (filmed all graney and technocolor) was Sky Captain and the Armies of the Future, or something like that. This guy in a WWII era fighter plane fighting swarms of ornithopters and giant robots that are attacking a sprawling new-york / metropolis type city. Looked very cool.

and yes, Troy looks like it will be a bLast.

Anyone seen Master and Commander? Any opinions?

Yeah, Empire Strikes Back is my favorite out of the original 3 Star Wars movies.
And Wrath of Khan is definitely the best Star Trek movie.

I also like Terminator 2 better than the first movie.
Shanghai Knights was better than Shanghai Noon.

I have to disagree on those two statements. I still think T1 was the best of the films. It had a solid story, and Cameron didn't need to have a huge special effects budget to tell the tale. I think T2 went way overboard in the special effects to the detrement of the storyline. Also, Shanghai Knights, although funny, didnt' really tickle my funny bone like Shanghai Noon did.

Sequels: I really liked Aliens. Still looks good after all of these years, especially in the widescreen director's cut. Agree that T1 was a better story.
