bosstrabs rhouses T2 is a great shout. Still holds up strong. T2 Trainspotting? Yes, still holds up strong as absolute dogshit.
-si- Home alone 5 def doesn’t have the same original cutting edge humour of the first one. Oceans 8 was shite and made for the sole purpose of humouring diabolical cunts.
Homegrove -si- studio made bank with that one though, so clearly the thinking worked for them. I didn’t like it either. Terminator 2 is great, but not as good as the first. Arnie as the baddie was so fucking great. Godfather 2 is better than the first.

alistair Dan Famous quote that. Caine couldn’t attend the oscars ceremony that year to pick up best supporting actor as he was filming in at the same time
LT42 I always found the “Godfather 2 is better than the 1st” opinion strange as clearly Godfather 1 is a far better picture according to my stats and peer reviewed study. I watched the 2nd recently (about my 4th or 5th time) with the missus who never watched and found it dragged on a bit. Brando and Caan in the 1st steal it for me. Plus by the end of 2 I was sick of looking at Pacino’s fucking mug.
Millsy Disagree, part 2 is the superior film. But both Godfathers are simply superb ( I refuse to acknowledge pt3 natch)
Amps bosstrabs Trainspotting 2. Forgot about this until recently. Utterly horrific, probably the worst thing committed to screen Agreed. Such an odd set of choices. They swerved the original material of Porno, which was power, and then filmed it like a ‘made for TV’ film. Alarm bells should have been ringing for all concerned from day one.
Along_the_Wire jonattonyeah I was literally gonna post T2 as an awful sequel - totally ruined by the acting and that awful Sarah Connor Doris.
mono-stereo Along_the_Wire I used to think T2 was the better film, but watching it recently it’s actually aged quite badly.
whatever bosstrabs That’s an interesting idea to say that parts of it are a prequel. Coppola always described it (in the extra materials released with the films) as telling the story in parallel where Michael’s struggles in the current reflect his father’s struggles in the past. In the context of the films as they stand, I would say that those parts are flashbacks rather than parts of a prequel per se. The counterpoint to what I have said is that the films were actually cut into a chronological TV series, which clearly signified that the parts were past events, and would be, as you say, a prequel.
