1. TOMB RAIDER

The original was an uninspired, unintelligible steaming pile. Somehow the moronic masses made this movie so much money that the mindless money men decided that they needed to round up the troops for a second waste of celluliod. Hopefully, moviegoers will remember how bad this film was and teach Hollywood a lesson by staying at home.

2. SISTER ACT

Okay, so maybe I'm a shade biased because of my contempt for Whoopi Goldberg, but come on, this move sucked...and a sequel? Were there really so many open questions from the original?

3. MEET THE PARENTS

I've tried so hard to understand why this movie was a hit. I can only determine that it was because it was so safe. Total formula from start to finish. Sadly, that's what some people want, and that's why the upcoming sequel promises to be just as toothless.

4. ACE VENTURA

There was no doubt that this film was getting a sequel, when the original became a massive sleeper hit, but oh, what a shame. I hate this movie so deeply.

5. THE SUBSTITUTE

I know it was a lame old straight-to-video thing, but thinking like this must be stopped! Down with crap!

1. JAWS

Don't get me wrong, I love "Jaws," and I even enjoy "Jaws 2" quite a bit, but there was absolutely no need for it, except making money. The entire theme of fear of the sea was essentially gone, as was the male bonding, so on. Then there was the ridiculous coincidence of it all, not to mention the next two sequels. This should have been a one time deal.

2. MY GIRL

They're discussing a third one. Why? Seriously, the first did okay, but wasn't it really anti-climactic after Mac got stung to death by bees? If in each successive movie another close friend got killed by some animal, like maybe Chad Allen showed up as a first boyfriend only to get mauled by a bear, that would have been acceptible.

3. PIRANHA

This movie was fun, and without the sequel we might not have James Cameron, but there was nothing to warrant going on. They really said everything they needed to say. Fish can kill people if we dump toxic waste. I guess the idea that fish could actually master flight, and not dry out while speeding through the air, and maintain control while devouring somebody, just had to be presented.

4. SPEED

Coincidence ho! Let's set sail for contrived! Poor luckless Annie happens to hook up with a bad clone of her last boyfriend, only to get stuck in another over the top hostage situation. People suspended the disbelief for the first one for a good time. That only lasts for so long.

5. THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

Besides my thinking this film is overrated, there wasn't much of a story per se to continue, there weren't any character to really explore further, and the sequels we got prove me right.

1. LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER

Yeah, made money. But name me six people - count 'em, six! - who liked it.

2. JAWS

Well, technically, it deserved a sequel, yes. Just not the one (or the
three) it got.

3. JEEPERS CREEPERS

I never saw it. So I therefore assume no one else did. I didn't think,
consequently, it needed a sequel. Therefore, I assume, neither did anyone
else. Besides, Victor Salva's a boyfucker.

4. BUTCH CASSIDY & THE SUNDANCE KID

Shoulda left it alone. Just shoulda.

5. THE FAST & THE FURIOUS

Ok, maybe a sequel was in order. But with the boring guy?
