->"Did you know they ''only'' have sequels down here[[note]]in HFIL[[/note]]? And ''just'' the bad ones? Which means they only have ''Film/Robocop3''. I never saw ''Film/Robocop2'', but since they skipped it, it must have been better somehow, and uh... [notices Freeza walked away] Wonder which ''Franchise/DieHard''s they have."

-->-- '''''{{Website/Wrestlecrap}}''''' on ''Film/AChristmasStory 2''

->''Of the times I had to stop and think about this movie, it got a tad depressing. You are seeing a group of people in their 30’s who cannot stop living their high school memories. It’s rather pathetic that these people haven’t done anything in the past 13 years they think is so much better than their pie fucking days. Wow.''

->'''The Nerd''': So there you go. Proof that [[VideoGame/MegaManX7 it]] sucked, [[NostalgiaFilter back then]]!
->'''Past Nerd''': Yeah, and I know by your time they're probably up to Mega Man X20.
->'''The Nerd''': Nah, Mega Man kinda stopped. The franchise has been...dormant, lately.
->'''Past Nerd''': Well, that's good. You never rush out anything just to meet consumer demand. Otherwise you just get shit. Some franchises get done to death. You can't keep beating the same thing into the ground.

->'''Arthur:''' THREE movies, Newly-Thin Creator/PeterJackson? '''''THREE?''''' ''Literature/TheHobbit'' was ONE book, with a simpler plot and cast... and geared towards children! '''''YOU DON'T NEED THREE MOVIES, NEWLY-THIN PETER JACKSON.''''' How much material could you possibly squeeze out of that book? What else is left?

->"It was just a situation in life where I got the script and I read the script and I was like ‘ugggghhh.’ It was about a cruise ship and I was thinking, ‘A bus, a cruise ship… Speed, bus, but then a cruise ship is even slower than a bus and I was like, ‘I love you guys but I just can’t do it.'”

->"The deals that they make you do are so draconian. And, of course, you are signed on for not only the movie that you are signed on for … but at least ''two more'' that you haven’t read and you have no idea what they are going to be, and all the crossover ones you are going to have to do. For me to sign on now to do a superhero movie would mean I would be working until I am 50 as that particular superhero."

->"Sequels can be very dangerous because they compromise your truth as an artist. I think a sequel to [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]] would do nothing but rob the original of its virginity. People only remember the latest episode, while the pilot tarnishes."

->"There has just been too much ''Franchise/StarTrek'' for a while. I remember the moment the franchise peaked. The moment, to me, was when Kirk and Picard were on the cover of ''TIME Magazine''. I literally walked in the next day to the office and said, ‘We have peaked. It’s down hill for quite a while from here.’ You reached this kind of critical mass in popular imagination. You were now on the cover of ''TIME'', and all the old stuff about the Trekkies was kind of gone by the wayside. It had gone from being a subculture of a subculture, to now this legitimate nationwide phenomenon. It was Americana. Kirk and Picard are big heroes, and everyone loves them. You can’t sustain that, so it just started falling off."

''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. There was no avoiding it. It had to happen. Square was now faced with the unenviable task of producing a sequel that could live up to and surpass Quite Possibly the Greatest Game Ever Made.''

->''Call me hard-hearted, call me cynical, but please don't call me if they ever make'' Film/HomeAlone 3.
