Now DV, don't hate Hollywood. It's actually a pretty neat city. Lots of different people, lots of weirdos, no one is afraid to express themselves. Much like the BB. :p
Blame Bush instead!!

I wonder what's driving them to make these films... Have they done a research to find out what film everybody would love to see a sequel to? I mean, a sequel or remake (one and the same, usually) are one thing, but this seems to have come from nowhere.

What is the point of this movie? Even if JEJ is in it, didn't we resolve the whole sandlot-Beast/Hercules issue the first time around? Did we not see Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez turn his sandlot 0wning ass into a bench player for the LA Dodgers (poor guy, he was probably the worst out of all the Rodriguez's in the entire MLB)...?

From what it says on the IMDB message boards, its coming strait to vidoe. Now if I may get off topic here...why do they even attempt to make films that they know arent even good enough to give a theatrical release? And why The Sandlot? That was my favorite movie as a kid

oh Don Sonny, my naive little punk cyber-neighbor, you fail to realize that the VHS/DVD industry makes an insane amount of money. Hell, the corporate entity that owns Warner Brothers studios makes 30 to 40% of its annual gross from VHS/DVD sales/rentals.
Anyway, thats why there are sequels upon sequels to D-T-V crap that line up on video store shelves, collecting dust and dropped into obscurity.
As for SANDLOT getting a sequel......why don't I really care? Its not like it will erase the existance of the original film. Ignore it and it'll be thrown into the Wal-Mart bargin bin within 2 years.

I really love the original. Someday, and that day may never come, I'll rent this sequel. And about movies that go straight to video, I kinda like them. It makes me the premier.

I've been hating Hollywood for awhile now with all of their stupid remakes or sequels. The last craze seems to be taking Japanese movies and Americanizing them. Seems like all of the original ideas are gone from Hollywood. What I was really mad at was the fact that I heard a rumor awhile ago about a possible Goonies 2. That's my childhood that they better not mess with!
