Aliens3. Hicks and Newt are killed offscreen before the movie starts and Ripley winds up being chased by a dog-alien on a prison asteroid with an atmosphere (!) with her head shaved. She bumps nasties with some random character and then finds out that she was somehow implanted at some indeterminate point with an alien and is going to die, so she throws herself into boiling lava (!) to keep the Corporation from getting the alien larvae. Thank God they would never make anything that ludicrous and horrible… ---

Brazil 2. Having wrested creative control away from Terry Gilliam, the sequel features the further adventures of Sam Lowry after electroshock therapy restores him to reality. Have they ever done a sequel to _Dracula_? They could say like, because he’s undead he could be revived if someone poured blood on his ashes. Or would that be too much of a cop-out? William Shatner could star in movie versions of the “Kirk was reanimated by Borg nanites” novels. That is, provided Shatner obtained videotapes of key Paramount executives teaching young children to perform illegal acts with German Shepards. How about _Son of Kong_. That is, a sequal to the 1976 version with Jessica Lange? See, this evil corporation, they took tissue sample from the dead Kong, and cloned him, and…got anymore coke? ---

**The Jo Witch Project** - this sequel to _The Blair Witch Project_ has three more college students being chased by the ghost of a lesbian witch who was madly in love with the Blair Witch but not ready to deal with it. A trilogy would include **The Tootie Witch Project** in which the ghost of a free black woman who had the unusual and useless magical ability to make her skates disappear when her breasts grew, or **The Natalie Witch Project** in which the ghost of a whining NY Jewish witch magically has massive weight gains and losses every few hours while desperately trying to get a plot built around her. **On Golden Pond… Now** - staged very similarly to Our Town, the ghosts of Ethel and Norman Thayer sit in chairs at the Golden Pond Cemetery and bitch about how their home is going condo. **East Side Story** Cultures clash and music rises as two WASPs from rival different country clubs and boarding schools fall in love and can’t agree on a caterer for the wedding. **The Lion King Whatever: Simba’s Genocide** Simba does what lions do best by taking over another pride, killing all of the cubs he didn’t sire, then lying in the shade while his lionesses bring him food. Stars all the usual voices, plus Anna Nicole Smith as 'Loopy the Octopus… or … bear or something…". ---

**Midnight Cowboy II.** Joe Buck spends his first night in Florida in a homeless shelter, where he meets Ratso Rizzo’s long lost identical twin brother, Ritso Razzo. The two of them go out on the streets and try to panhandle for money. When they come up empty-handed, they decide to spice things up by becoming street performers, interspersing their kazoo duets with zany acrobatic stunts. Unfortunately, a passing biker gang misinterprets one of their acrobatic stunts as implying that bikers are homosexual, and beats the shit out of them. Joe and Ritso are taken to the hospital, where they are treated for their injuries and soon recover. Before leaving, they sneak into a supply closet and steal a great deal of morphine and nitrous oxide. They go back to the streets and try to deal these drugs, and are successful at first. Unfortunately, success brings competitors, and in this case, the competitors are the same biker gang that put them in the hospital in the first place. Having cornered the local drug market, the bikers decide they need to drive away Joe and Ritso. Greasy Greg, the leader of the biker gang, begins to play a larger role in the movie as it is revealed that a childhood experience being beaten up and having his girlfriend raped at the hands of a gang of cowboys left him with a lingering hatred of cowboys. Yes, I know Joe Buck threw away his cowboy gear at the end of _Midnight Cowboy._ But Greasy Greg recognizes his _accent,_ so he can tell. Anyway, the biker gang decides that they will get rid of Joe and Ritso by planting explosives in the shack where they live. They plant the explosives, which they plan to detonate by remote control, and camp out in a nearby swamp waiting for Joe and Ritso to return to the shack. During this time, they get badly bitten by mosquitos and decide to give up rather than wait any longer. But they blow up the empty shack just to piss their enemies off. When Joe and Ritso return to the smoldering rubble that was their home, they immediately know who’s responsible for the destruction. Their first thought is to call the cops, but then they realize that the local police are in the pocket of the biker gang. They have no choice but to challenge the bikers to a motorcycle race, and Greasy Greg, still suffering from his mosquito bites, instantly agrees, because he is confident that he’ll be able to beat the duo. Ritso and Joe have saved up enough money through their drug dealing at this point to buy a used Harley chopper, which they spend a few days tuning up and getting ready for the race. Then there is a scene where they give the chopper a paint job, but the camera does not let you see what the paint looks like. Finally, it’s the big day, and Greasy Greg and his biker buddies are out there at the track ready for the race. Then all of a sudden you hear the roar of Joe and Ritso’s chopper, and they come flying down the road, and you see that the bike is painted in a COWBOY THEME!!! A cowhide motif for the gas tank, a pair of bull horns on the front, and last but not least, Joe and Ritso decked out in full cowboy chaps, vests and hats. Greasy Greg’s childhood memories come racing back, destroying his morale, and he is easily beaten by the underdog duo. The end credits roll, with “All My Exes Live In Texas” as the background music. Starring Owen Wilson as Joe Buck and Ben Stiller as Ritso Razzo. ---
