I think most of the franchises have done themselves to death but I think there is still a bit of life left in Elm St. Wes Craven's New Nightmare and Freddy Vs Jason were very fucking cool strong entries in the series that rivial the original.
They DO NOT rival the original....hogwash!

Well Elvis you dont have to sit and watch a James Bond or Godzilla movie which is fine by me. On the other hand I doubt if Jason Myers or Freddy will ever have a fanbase that even comes close to that of bond and Godzilla. I know you might want to cover your ears or close your eyes rather then know how large the fanbase is for Bond and Godzilla. I can tell you this much for fact there are at least twice as many Godzilla fans than there Starwar fans in the world. If you look at horror movie history you can see right away one of the main reasons Frankenstien Dracula Werewolf Mummy have survived decade after decade is because better remakes were made about them. Anyone who says remakes arnt a good thing and that only the original movie is the best is dead wrong and probley a fool.

Just everything you seem to say most of the time makes me laugh Gojira.

It has almost been 30 years since Myers has been around.

You say they prolly won't last but if you think about it.

How do you know? You don't not until people will say damn these movies suck I don't like them anymore.

If people want to watch a fake ass lookin monster destroy somethin then let em.

If people want to keep watchina British agent stop nuclear warfare/mad evil villains over and over again let em.

Myers, Freddy, Jason, Leatherface will always be around b/c ppl love them thats the bottom line.

You're probably right - Jerry Springer won't seem to piss off, either.

Sloooow down there Gojira.

How can you compare Godzilla's fanbase to that of Freddy/Micheal/Jason? Godzilla has been amassing fans since 1954, over 50 years ago, while the earliest of the three slashers, Micheal Myers, first apeared in 1978, 24 years later. No shit Godzilla has a bigger fanbase, he's been around longer!

Not to mention about a bah-zillion Japanese fans who wouldn't give a weakling in a funny mask the time of day...

That sounds pretty true to me.

A weakling in a funny mask.....shit all the "weakling" in the funny mask would have to do is turn around and unzip the rubber suit.

Let me clue you in on something the reason any movie studio will make a sequel is if the 1st movie is good enough to warrent making a 2nd movie and as long as the movies make money for the studio the studio will keep making those movies because thats what the public likes. If the movies dont make money the studio will stop making those movies. You saying you hate sequels just because for the money they generate is really dumb. Look at Pinewood studios they make James Bond movies and they make them for the money. Its called Show business.

aren't you just a genius. I had no idea studios make movies so they can make money. I'm sure classic knows that too what He/She is getting at is that it's better when a movie is made because the director/writer/producer wants to make the movie not because he was the guy hand picked by the film company.
