just say no to sequels!

Disney announced Indiana Jones 5 for 2019.

There was also a Blade Runner sequel announcement that I either missed or blocked out.

After the awful, painful mess that was Crystal Skull, I had really hoped that Spielberg would just let Indy ride off into the sunset (which was the way Last Crusade ended...and should have been the end of the franchise. You don't ride off into the sunset only to show up again!)

And a Blade Runner sequel? With a 70 year old Harrison Ford? So it will have to be set 30 years from the end of the original...wait, which VERSION of Blade Runner is this a sequel to anyway?? Aren't there like 30 director's cuts?

I mean, who knows, maybe they will surprise me! Maybe I will watch these movies and it will be like 'Force Awakens', capturing the magic of the original films and bringing them to a new generation....

...'Force Awakens' was really an anomaly though. For every 10 reboot/sequel of a classic franchise, we get one good one.
