After my last posting about Before Sunset, the sequel to Before Sunrise, I read a posting on FilmFiler.com about the upcoming Rocky VI sequel. Then today TBS has been playing Rocky I through Rocky IV. I liked the Rocky movies and look forward to Rocky VI.

I started thinking about which sequels I wouldn’t want to see. There are lots, but I thought it might be funny to work up a promo for a sequel I really wouldn’t want to see, like I used to do back in my Fark photoshopping days.  Here’s one I came up with.

American History X2 - X Squared: Suburban Angst

Please add your suggestions for bad sequels in the comments section.

Custom Google calendars are starting to sprout up.  These calendar can be imported into and merged with your own schedule as configured with Google’s free online software.  Google Blogoscope has a list of some custom calendars including Misc. History, Formula 1 Racing, DVD Releases, and Movie Releases.  The concept of publishing a calendar of events and allowing the public to import them into their personal schedules can have huge possibilities.  Already at least on band has posted their touring schedule.  I have a friend who used to follow around the Grateful Dead and now follows Phish.  I would imagine that a calendar of Phish’s touring schedule would be very helpful to him.  Hopefully more calendars will soon be published in a similar manner.

Songtapper.com allows you to search for a song by tapping out its beat using the space bar.  Once it has the beat, it searches its database and provides a list of possible matches.  It didn’t find the first two songs I tapped in, but it found the third right away.  Regardless, it’s a pretty interesting alternative to lyrics searches.
