> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Ludovic_ > Someone had to say this… > > The Neverending Story, part II It wouldn’t have been such a bad movie if it’d stuck to the book (IMO). The mere idea of it (as well as the idea of the awful TV series) wasn’t so bad as the execution. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by MGibson_ > Shindler’s List 2: Die, Shindler, Die This is a pretty funny Liam Neeson reference that I wished I didn’t get. ([This](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0116033) is what I’m talking about, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. Though to Mr. Neeson’s credit, he’s not actually in that one.) As for bad sequels : Six more **Beethoven** movies, just so they can surpass Ludwig van. **Full House : Kings over Deuces** - A combination reunion/sequel. The soldiers of _Three Kings_ must rescue the daughters (Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen) of the President (Bob Saget) , Vice President (Dave Coulier), and Secretary of Defense (John Stamos), who’ve been kidnapped by Saddam Hussein ([playing himself](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Hussein,+Saddam)). And this time around, there’s none of that moral ambiguity – the American soldiers bravely save the girls and anyone who tries to stop them ( Saddam, some Iraqi soldiers, the hippies in the streets, the UN general assembly ) gets blown up. Features a finale with the Olsen twins, Ice Cube and Mark Wahlberg all singing together for the first time ever. **Weekend at Bernie’s : Ten Years After** – one of Bernie’s old girlfriends married rich but, after her husband dies and she contracts a terminal illness, realizes that the only person she ever loved was Bernie. She’ll leave everything to him – but only if she gets to spend one more night with him. ---
