Slim Jim Halloween Havoc 2014 Presented by Snickers

Welcome to the HALLOWEEN EDITION of the Friday Film Fiesta! Conveniently enough Halloween falls on a Friday this year, so the jokes and references will actually be relevant!


Last week I was coming off from yet another week from hell, but instead of being lazy, I actually FORGOT about the Fiesta until Sunday when Jope mentioned it. Luckily there was pretty much nothing that happened last week outside of the Age of Ultron poster being released.

Two weeks ago I... didn't ask you anything.

It's REBOOT AND SEQUEL MANIA this week in Hollywood, as sequels to Super Troopers and 22 Jump Street have been confirmed, as has the rumored all female Ghostbusters sequel, which won't acknowledge the previous films at all. Meanwhile, Jeff Goldblum says he would return for the long rumored Independence Day sequel, and a movie from way back in 2007, I Am Legend, is being rebooted. Oh, and Iron Man 4 is on its way too. Luckily the sequel to The Da Vinci Code has been pushed back because I don't know how I can handle so many reboots and sequels at one time!

Television is not immune to reboots and sequels either, with reboots of Lost in Space and Lost apparently in the works. Meanwhile, ABC is developing the movie Uncle Buck into a sitcom

This Maze Runner series is apparently going to continue, but won't be splitting books into multiple movies

Super Smash Bros. Fiesta

Welcome to the first Fiesta in two weeks... last week I had the WEEK FROM HELL, running on roughly 10 hours of sleep the entire week. I could have, and should have, written a Fiesta, but decided to be lazy and chose not to. So enjoy TWICE the film news this week as I half-ass this one so I can play the new Super Smash Brothers game! And also attend the Austin Comic Con.


Two weeks ago I asked you if you would watch the planned reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer, and you answered meh.
