Ya know, Robert Rodriguez, when you made only one film exclusively for your kids, I was mostly able to ignore it. Six films, however, is a different story. I mean, the hell? How do you keep getting funding for this shit? Besides, aren’t your kids in college now? Shouldn’t you be making an all Mexican cast, 3D version of Animal House for them or something?
Anyway, let’s take a look at (gag) Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, shall we? (throws up)
Talking dogs, Jessica Alba, and the use of fucking “4D”? What is that exactly, Rodriguez? Are you going to pay ushers to come into the theater and throw fake dog poo in my face? While you’re at it, why not pay them to apologize for your carrer post-Desperado?
And while I’m complaining, what’s up with your career, Joel McHale? Community has proven that you can act, so why are you skipping to the end of Chevy Chase’s career by jumping into family films that require no acting ability?
Now that director Joe Johnston has started making the press rounds for Captain America, it was only a matter of time before some reporter (Logan in a disguise, perhaps?) inquired about Jurassic Park 4. Always a sport, Johnston had the following to say:
“…it likely won’t be another storyline about a group of people struggling to survive a dinosaur attack…why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that level it’s sort of about studios and Steven [Spielberg’s] thing and who knows. I think we are at that point where we are due for another one if we are going to do it.”
Obviously, they already have my money. I’d be interested to see what new direction they would take the series. As for my other Jurassic Park BFF, Sam Neill? Not so much.
“I think we’ve told the story. I think it’s done.”
“I’ll tell you what. If Michael Crichton time travels, [and] writes the book…then absolutely.”
Fair enough, Sam, although knowing Michael Crichton, there is a chance he may have found a way to do that before his death. Whatever the case, I’ll miss you. I kind of figured you needed the work.
Chevy Chase shares his thoughts on "Happy Town" with old pal Sam Neill.
I probably should have posted this on Memorial Day, but if you’re feeling that mid-week slump and need a little inspiration, try this video on for size.
