I want to see a picture of that mural. And, what's wrong with Conan the Destroyer? It's not like Barbarian was exactly high art. . . Unless they're penalising it for the lack of any line like "To hear duh cries and lamentations of dere vomen!"

I'd like to see it too. How Superman 4 and The Ten Commandments could be reconciled is of keen interest. A morbid fascination.
RE the list: I'd argue that American Psycho 2 or any number of the Police Academy sequels might be considerably worse than several of their selections. As someone who has paid cash-y money to own Starship Troopers 2 on DVD, I feel I may be especially suited to sussing these things out. To that end, I worry that Halloween was underrepresented. I wasn't sure whether the presumption was that the original was a great movie and the follow-ons crap, or whether it was just talking about shitty movies that just happen to be sequels. Not being versed in the canon of Iron Eagle or the Delta Force sagas, it probably wouldn't be fair for me to judge. Also 2 Fast, 2 Furious.

I don't own a camera, but I'll see what I can do.
OMG Where is this place - those barren hills in the background it looks like Mars or the Moon!
Maybe there is some common thread that runs between all of the pictures in the mural... and the artist thought he was really clever when he painted it. Maybe you've got to find the connection to unlock the deeper mystery... WHY are they making a Night Rider movie?????

What about Back to the Future 2? I don't think anyone's mentioned that one. The rehashing of all the jokes from the first one. The fact that they completely ignored one of the "rules" of time travel the set up in the first movie as a major part of the plot for the second (i.e. when you travel to the future, you skip over all that time; thus when Doc took Marty into the future, his children shouldn't have existed because Marty wouldn't have existed for all that time).

Reba isn't in any of the Tremors sequels; Tremors itself is great; Tremors 2 has its moments.

This from an Australian. Anyway, it's just, you know, home.
I guess you can blame some of it on Lake Missoula, though the real excitement was all to the northeast of where I'm sitting.

Iron Eagle II--AWESOME. Iron Eagle III & Iron Eagle IV--not so much.
STILL think Louis Gossett, Jr. would've been a WAY better Joseph Sisko than Brock Peters.

True - about Home Alone - the plot contrivance repeating itself was rediculous - but you could say that added (minorly) to the humour.
MIBII - well if they did it correctly - especially with the ending of the first movie - they could have made a whole bunch of movies based on the idea (let's hope they don't).
So what I'm saying is - movies where the first movie so definitively finishes that there is no room for a sequal.
CUBE and Cruel Intentions come to mind - their story only fits the first movie - anything else they should just call it another movie.
Anything else?

Heheheh - yeah I live in Australia but not in like Coober Peady or Woomera or the Simpson Desert!
So those mountains/ranges are actually quite lush - covered in grass lands? I think in the cinema pick (taken at dusk it seems) - I'm used to seeing ranges like that in Australia where it's nothing but red dirt. I didn't expect to see such a thing in Washington State. Maybe out in the 'middle' of the US. Looks quite beautiful.
