Amazon is gonna be in for a shock when Heat 2 doesn't make back anything close to the $170 million budget Mann wants.

Why would you even make a sequel to that movie? It's not a superhero film. Not every movie should have a sequel.

Leave the original alone!

Wouldn't it be cool, if...

It used a new arrangement of john Morris' main theme from the old film, and Tim Curry was the host?

The next Fast and Furious movie is stuck in limbo as Universal wants $150 million cut from the budget before it goes in front of the cameras.

It would be funny if the franchise ends with a guy named Diesel literally driving it off a cliff.

I don't want to watch any more vintage Chargers getting destroyed, even if they are fake fiberglass kit-cars.

Feels like I'm watching Dukes of Hazzard all over again with those films.

Cast photo for S.W.A.T. Exiles is out there. It made me think of the show's premise again and I wonder if it can be applied to other situations.

Grey's Anatomy: Neurological Surgery Clinic -- Meredith Grey is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental brain surgery unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits.

Nuclear Family -- A nuclear engineer is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental nuclear power plant unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits.

The Air Down Here -- A systems engineer is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental airplane manufacturer unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits.

Unmanned -- A former fighter pilot is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental heavily-armed drone warfare unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits.

The Matlock reboot has lost an actor... David Del Rio (who plays Billy Martinez) is accused of sexually assaulting Leah Lewis (who plays Sarah Franklin); there was an investigation and he was let go. The character will be written off although who knows if he can be excised from the already filmed first half of season two.
