They tend to hit the ground running. Plus, for me, it's a looser viewing experience to just pop in a sequel. If it's the original of a series, it's usually a classic and I always feel like I have to really give it my full attention no matter how many times I've already seen it. A sequel - even a really great one - not so much.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-55226361250616678042010-11-13T10:18:33.863-08:002010-11-13T10:18:33.863-08:00Love, love, LOVE Friday 2, I also love Jaws 2.

Phantasm II just plain rules, as far as I'm concerned. And I'm glad you're a TCM 2 fan, too. It's not even close to being the classic that the original is but it still has plenty of inspired moments. And it shows just how drab all the other entries are - sequels, remakes and prequels alike - without Hooper's sensibilities.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-34188207441539641142010-10-25T13:16:52.890-07:002010-10-25T13:16:52.890-07:00Love TCM 2 as well.

Unhinged gonzo horror at its finest.<br /><br />Also, nice to see some love for PHANTASM II which is my fave of the series if only for the kickass shotgun that is assembled and then used for pretty cool effect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-37816863325116316302010-10-25T10:06:33.913-07:002010-10-25T10:06:33.913-07:00I have to say that "Thanks for the ride, lady...I have to say that "Thanks for the ride, lady!" is probably what wore me down on Creepshow 2. Over the years, I've quoted it so often and heard it quoted that I realized I had to stop hating on the movie that ushered that line into the world! <br /><br />As for TCM2, the camp humor is really jarring and it put me off at first, too. But rewatching it over the years, the movie's nuttiness began to work for me. I love Caroline Williams' performance as Stretch - I think she's one of the unsung horror heroines of the '80s. And Moseley is just brilliant. As Chop-Top, he gives every other cinematic psycho a run for their money.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-86639000667852707662010-10-25T09:54:20.212-07:002010-10-25T09:54:20.212-07:00You make a great case for all of these "deuce...You make a great case for all of these "deuces," and I agree with nearly all of them. I will say that, when I saw it in the theater, I was a little disappointed how TCM2 delved into camp (after that awesome opening sequence on the bridge) and wasn't as terrifying as the original. However, it did supply my friends and I with some new catchphrases such as "E-X-I-T. EXIT!!" "Incoming maillll!" and of course, "Lick my plate, you dog d--k!"<br /><br />I think we tried to make Creepshow 2's, "Thanks for the ride, lady" work as a catchphrase as well, but with limited success.
