Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Apr. 27, 2008
Hey guys, Sean here, checking in from California. At the moment I’m in Santa Cruz, after spending a few days in San Francisco. All the hotels here seem to have free wi-fi access, which incidentally, allows me to catch up on all of the movie gossip that I’ve been missing out on! Here are some of the earth-shattering headlines that have transpired over the past few days. Feel free to discuss as you see fit.

Like anyone didn’t see an Enchanted sequel coming. You can count on Disney making sequels just as much as you can count on me delivering an excuse to my wife for me not needing to shower on the weekend.
Posted by Itchy-Finger on April 28th, 2008Making an Enchanted sequel is just plain sad, i thought they were on there way back to glory days but i guess that ain’t gonna happen.
Posted by Drew on April 28th, 2008I’m wondering if the Enchanted sequel will be one of those cheapie straight-to-video sequels that Disney has crapped out for years. Hey, I loved Enchanted, but Enchanted II could potentially ruin my pleasant experience of the movie, just like Aladdin II: The Return of Jafar destroyed my childhood memories of that film.
Posted by Joel on April 28th, 20083 years is a bit much for Snipes. I mean, he’s an asshole, and I’m not buying his whole “I didn’t know I did anything wrong” act, but come on.
And as far as those trailers– I find the titles “Towelhead” and “Young People Fucking” to be more explosive and attention getting than the films that they are advertising. That is very annoying. It promises a film that will be more controversial in name than in actual content.
Posted by Jon Rocks on April 28th, 2008Snipes is in jail but OJ and MJ are still out there, thats pretty messed up.
