300: Part Deux a.k.a. Fuck This Shit

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

WARNING: SPOILERS IF YOU'RE POP-CULTURE RETARDED AND HAVEN'T SEEN 300


I liked 300. Not in a teary-eyed, shit my pants, jump up and down and quote the movie for way longer than anyone should kinda way, but I liked it. It was a super epic, stylized, violent, fun thing to watch. That being said...

Zack Snyder told IGN that he's looking into making a sequel to 300. That's right. A sequel to the movie that ended with the main character being shot to death by arrows. Does anyone else sense some cognitive fucking dissonance going on?

The only potential saving grace of this thing is the fact that Mr. Snyder wants to wait for Frank Miller to finish another Spartan-inspired graphic novel before he moves on with the movie. In this way, the sequel would also be based on a Frank Miller book, just like the original. How quaint.

But this really doesn't comfort me. Why? 'Cause Frank Miller would essentially be creating a graphic novel for the sake of it being made into a movie. Which means he wouldn't be his usual, awesome, I'm-Frank-Miller-And-I-Own-Your-Face self. Zack, direct whatever piece of shit sequel you want, just DON'T TAKE MY FRANKIE DOWN WITH YOU!

Just to clarify: It's not that I lack faith in Miller's story-telling ability. It's that I lack faith in sequels in general. Honestly, whatever Miller comes up with will probably be damn cool. The movie? I dunno.

(AN: Again, for those of you who are pop culture retarded, Frank Miller is the dude behind Sin City. Yeah. Who's your daddy now, bitch?)

Why the fuck do they have to milk every single little successful movie nowadays? Why? I mean, the movie industry has always been just that - an industry. But it's like they're running out of friggin' ideas. "Oh, let's make another sequel/remake/biopic piece of shit because we can't think of anything else!"

Sure, every once in a while you get The Godfather: Part II, but in general sequels suck. Suck. SUCK I SAY!!!

Here's hoping Zacky boy proves me wrong. Hey, maybe it'll even be some cool stylized historical deal. But for now: Fuck you, movie industry. Fuck. You.

Out.
