Shawshank was hackneyed shite. Happy ever after? Bollox to that. I hope his boat sank.

Sequels are generally a bad idea. If the original movie was good a sequel will be disappointing. If it was crap then why bother?

his is the reason why i said i wouldnt want a sequel , it would ruin the film.
another 10 minutes in the film would be great.



fyi , it is easily one of the best , voted for loads of times.
happily ever after, 2 suicides and i guy murdered and an inocent man conviced for years. , more like justace served in the end

RobbingBandit

Futurama spinoff staring Dr Zoidberg.

Irish Guitarist

Tru Calling. It was pretty good but it looked like it was about to get even better but it was cancelled and ended abruptly.

Quantum Leap. The last episode was supposed to be an end of series cliffhanger but it was cancelled and they tacked on some nonsense text at the end to make it look like it was the end of the entire story.

It was already an hour too long. The fact that it's the top movie on IMDb just proves it was hackneyed. It's the X-Factor of movies. The only original thing about it was how totally lacking in originality it is. And what's worse is that it was heartwarming.

It proves it had an affect on people which is exactly what great art should do.

Not everything has to be edgy and different.Sometimes a simple story told well can be great.

Friday the 13th part 23.

Serious answer, Alien 5, the potentially disastrous Aliens sequel that would STILL be better than that sh*t-fest Prometheus and Prometheus 2 -the-prequel-no-one-wanted-but-youre-gonna-get-6-more.

Agreed. Forrest Gump is a good example of a simple story told with plenty of originality.

Shawshank is paining by numbers. It spoon feeds the audience. It's full of plot holes and silly mistakes. Are we meant to believe he digs a tunnel two handfuls a night? Because that's all he gets rid of in the yard each day.

Tim Robbins acting is wooden. The governor is cartoonishly evil. The story on the whole is fairly dull. And the ending is pure Hollywood sacherine. The only thing that saves it from being truly awful is Morgan Freemans narration.

And this is meant to be the zenith of moviemaking? Even Kubrick at his worst (ie. Eyes Wide Shut) is better than this.

just for fun , what are the plot holes and silly mistakes. I agree there are some but so do most films, some shocking

Isn't this what many sequels are?

The Wire. I read some article there last week about what the characters of the show would be doing now, ten years after the shows end (I know it's actually 9 years since the show ended, but ten sounds better to me). After reading it I think they could easily do a follow up to The Wire.

Here's a link to the article I read.

A Cheers follow up would be interesting

T'was razor-sharp stuff, a real high point in American comedy writing & performance

Would also like to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy given a modern treatment

Fringe!

24 with Jack Bauer. Not that rubbish reboot one that just finished.

I would loved to have seen more of the Royle Family. Such a well written and funny situational comedy that made fun out of paint drying really. What happened to baby Dave, did Jim ever get a kodi box, did Cheryl ever lose weight, did Anthony continue to do well for himself, who answers the door now, how's Denise's cooking etc?

Such a great kitchen sink drama with Caroline Ahern taken far far to early.

Absolutely not.

When a show is that good and manages to end well, let it go. They would only ruin it by dragging stuff back up.

Greatest TV show ever made by the way.

Glenroe. Did miley and Fidelma get it on after Biddy died?

Ted Plain

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. I'd like to see another series of Lindy, Tom, Beryl, Jez and Suze.

The Salvager. Could watch Rico all day. Pity there were only two series made.

LordSutch

Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

Would love to see more Spitting Image. Giving the situation with the conservatives and the DUP should be comedy gold.

Rumpy Pumpy

Utopia, which Channel 4 cancelled after two seasons. The ending didn't do the show justice.

Dungeons and dragons,
Did them kids ever make it home???

Spoiler alerts ahead for the ending of The West Wing, if you haven't watched it (which you should).

We learn that staffer Will Bailey (Joshua Malina) goes on to become a Congressman after leaving the White House, and straight away I thought that would make a great spin-off comedy. "The Oregon Fourth" would follow a newbie Congressman from election night onwards, finding his feet in Washington DC outside the relatively-sheltered environment of the West Wing of the White House.

On top of that he also has to spend time in his district, which consists of southern coastal counties of Oregon where the people are a bit weird (think a more rural Portlandia) and don't know him. Will Bailey is not actually from Oregon and his only connection to the State that he helped to run another candidate's campaign twelve years earlier, which they lost. He had to move there in a hurry to make the residency requirements, and barely made it. His love life would also be quite complicated; at the end of TWW he was dating Kate Harper (Mary McCormack), the National Security Advisor, and their relationship is best described as "awkward".

Doesn't need a sequel. The whole point is that things are cyclical and nothing changes.

I can safely say that's the first time i heard anyone say The Shawshank Redemption was sh1te.

It's not ****e, but I can the point. There's nothing mind blowing about the film. The standard of acting really drags up what would be an otherwise pretty bland film.

It wouldn't be anywhere near my top 50 films.

It wasn't an RTE production, they just bought the rights to show it. It was made for the Starz network in the US I think.

I think we need The Thick of It to come back - UK politics might be too bat**** crazy to parody right now though. But imagine them doing their take on the DUP :pac:
