There is nothing worse than seeing a numeral following a film's title. Sequels generally suck, reminding us it's a sequel with a tacky number..

.there's no excuse for that. Did the writer forget that Indy's stories went from Raiders to Indy and the Temple to Indy and the Last Crusade?

No numbers. Batman films have NEVER had numbers. What about Star Wars?

Yep, no numbers. George "I re-write the past" Lucas tacked on his moronic Episode crap at the beginning but the reality is, only guys with stained tighty-whiteys say "Episode 4". Posted at 11:24AM on Jun 28th 2007 by YouFaceTheTick OK Horror=GORE is a mis-statement.

Some gore maybe, like David Warner's head in the original OMEN, but gore for gore sake no. Someone once told me that if you see someone slip on a banana peel that humor - and if you slip on a banana peel it horror. The creeping realization that it COULD happen to you is what makes great horror.

Posted at 1:27PM on Jun 28th 2007 by Ryan I agree with most of your sentiments, but the idea of "numberless sequels" is mostly retarded, sorry. I agree with #9, seeing a numeral after the title sucks a whole lotta ass. I'd rather they show some creativity and just give it a different title.

How many novels are titled ". There is nothing worse than seeing a numeral following a film's title.
