Lost Boys, Starship Troopers, Mortal Kombat (yes, I liked the first!), I so didn't need to know they were going to mess this up even more. Having talked to a guy who had worked on the previous Highlander TV show and some of the movies, you are very, very correct to add Highlander the Source to it.

Otherwise solid, red-blooded Americans who own DVDs like <em>Starship Troopers 2</em> and <em>Spawn: The Animated Movie</em>. Sigh. Anyway, they're out there. You know, I really wanted to enjoy the Hellboy animated movies, but I couldn't get into them! <em>Justice League</em> or <em>Clone Wars</em>, on the other hand... cartoon nirvana.

Glad you didn't post the AVP2 sequel on here! I was thinking about that straight-to-DVD idea... Even with those though, I was wondering who buys them? Never, ever in my life have I bought a straight-to-DVD movie... ever! I think the closest is the Hellboy Animated series but you could say that appeared on Cartoon Network before... How many people in America are dumb enough to buy the worst-of-the-worst straight-to-DVD movies? Unfortunately enough to warrant these wretched sequels! Yea… saw your comment on there, too. Glad you didn’t post the AVP2 sequel on here!

I think the cost justification for several of these (ST, Species, Highlander, at the very least...) is "straight to DVD." Apparently they think there's enough fanboys in the world to make it worthwhile. Glad to have you stop by, Alex. Really enjoy your blog... in fact, I was just there checking out the new AVP trailer.

The first is one of my all time favorite sci fi films. Mortal Kombat? Species?! This list is an awful sight to see... What the heck is wrong with Hollywood? How do they even think this is beneficial for their business or financially? All of these movies are going to be huge flops and hardly make a dime, so why are they do this? What a shame Hollywood...

I briefly considered the new upcoming AVP sequel, but there's a remote chance that it won't be pathetic. As you said, I'll probably enjoy watching it, even if it's not very good. I know I won't be able to say the same for Starship Troopers 3. Nope, I don't contribute to Film School Rejects, but it's a fine, fine site, nonetheless!
