enough is enough

the hollywood reporter reports that fox searchlight will be making johnson family vacation 2, with cedric the entertainer expected to reprise his role.

i don't know how something like this happens anymore. johnson family vacation is by far the WORST movie that i have seen in a theatre, which is saying something because i saw bride of chucky in the theatres. yes, a movie with two dolls getting married was better than that movie. i'm certain that children aren't even entertained by that movie. johnson family vacation is a direct insult to anyone with half a brain. the entire film was forced, and none of the actors or characters brought anything to the movie.

so what does fox searchlight do? instead of burying this movie from the collective minds of people everywhere, they intend to make a sequel to destroy what little will of those who saw the first film may still have. banking on cedric the entertainer to make money at the box office would be similar to asking chris berman to keep a long story short: it just won't happen. [and what exactly does cedric the entertainer entertain? the thought of taking a dump? seriously, he needs to be stripped of his nickname.]

i am amazed at how many poor decisions are made at movie studios. do they not realize that people do not want to see garbage thrown in their faces? if i wanted that, i'd go to the zoo and have monkeys sling their feces at me. yet, that's exactly what the studios do. it's patronizing to think that the studios knowing that they can get away with such behavior [which is largely due to people continuing to see such movies]. i suppose all i can hope for is the next johnson family vacation resulting in a permanent one.
