I don't know what's sadder, another vacation movie, the mention of The Hangover 3, or subby.

It could be possible they had got the curse of the bombing sequel with Christmas vacation 2. I am sure they are hoping that movie did the trick. Besides, they might appeal to younger folks if they tie in more modern references that would make them part of the experience. Rusty and his wife's 'playful' video gets youtubed, instead of sold around Europe. Although a lot of stuff has been done over the last few years, so they would have to pick up the game a little.

Lots of butthurt about sequels in this thread as though it's something new but sequels have been around forever. Hell, King Kong has a sequel come out the same year it was released, Shakespeare did sequels (Richard II, 1 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, Henry V), and the Greeks were quite fond of them (Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone).

They still pump out good original stuff at a pretty significant clip. Original (not remakes or sequels or books-turned-into-movies or Snow White) wide releases this year:

The Devil Inside, Contraband, Joyful Noise, Haywire, Red Tails, The Grey, Man on a Ledge, One for the Money, Big Miracle, Chronicle, The Woman in Black, Safehouse, The Vow, This Means War, Act of Valor, Gone, Good Deeds, Wanderlust, Project X, A Thousand Words, Silent House, Cabin in the Woods, Lockout, Chimpanzee, The Lucky One, Think Like a Man, The Five-Year Engagement, The Pirates Band of Misfits, The Raven, Safe, The Dictator, Chernobyl Diaries, Rock of Ages, That's my Boy, Brave, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Magic Mike, People Like Us, Ted, Katy Perry: Part of Me, Savages.

Some of these were actually pretty good. Lots of them SUCKED.

However, every single one of the top ten movies of the year are sequels, books-turned-to-movies, or a rerelease of Titanic. (Avengers, Hunger Games, MiB3, Madagascar 3, Spider-Man, Snow White, Titanic, Journey 2, Lorax, and Wrath of Titans).

Hollywood isn't out of ideas. Hollywood is just in the business of making money.

Mikey1969: Hey dipshiat, it's not a "reboot". A "reboot" is when you throw out everything that happened before and make the movie over. Much like the Hulk/Incredible Hulk mess. This is a "sequel". A "sequel" is a movie that follows another, carrying on plot lines, characters or both. A "sequel" can also involve a new storyline where a child or friend of the principal character(s) in the previous storyline decides to try their own hand at the same situation.

Jesus, farking people and their Word of the Day. 6-7 years ago, it was "microburst", everything was a "microburst", lately it's been "reboot".

that being said, I don't know if this is something that will give me nightmares or not. Could be funny. Could be a train wreck. I would prefer to let the 4 movies stand as-is and not take any more chances. 'Vegas Vacation' was a close one. It's ok and all, but I could have lived a happy life with only the first 3. Let's just leave it where it is and try not to fark it up. Maybe someone in the room can come up with an ORIGINAL idea for a change? The sad part is; there are probably a million people in LA right now with good ideas for screenplays, but since they don't suck dick in the right circles, they'll never get a chance, and we'll just see more and more board games made into movies. Yeah, I had a friend aggressively defend 'Battleship' this summer, told me that I was just too closed minded to think for myself.

farkeruk: There should be a law against remaking, rebooting or doing sequels to Harold Ramis comedies. He knows what he's doing in a way that very few people out there do.

You know, I don't want another "Vacation, but this time, IT'S HIS SON". The whole point of Vacation is that all the events on the way that stand in Clark's way lead to him going crazy. He's been through all this crap to take his kids to Wally World, and goddamn it, they're going to go to Wally World and enjoy themselves. While not going as far as holding people up, parents get that way.

Go and do an actual, original story. Take some piece of humanity and make a story from it, you bums.

it also kind of falls apart with modern technology. No one knows where Eddie is on Christmas eve? ::opens up Find my Friends app on iPhone:: "Oh crap, he's at my bosses' place, better call the cops."

The only thing better would be if she had been coerced, er, introduced by her dentist.

I'm game for this if Chevy is in it, espcially if it's more than just a cameo. Would love to see Randy Quaid as well, but the crazy might not allow that to happen.

I was unaware that those were remakes. Either way, it leaves dozens. The bottom line, though, is that Hollywood puts out original movies, some of which are very good, that no one wants to see. It's not "out of ideas", it's "wanting to make money". Hollywood isn't a charity.

Look, urban.derelict, you were the one who posted Marisol's picture after the mention of the actress who played Audrey in European Vacation. If anyone really looks bad, it's you, both for posting the wrong actress (your girl was in Vegas Vacation) and for being so insulting about the late Miss Hill. Yeah, this is fark, so what can anyone really expect; but come on...

Me too. Course I'm not the normal I hate anything that is popular douche farker.

The last funny Vacation movie was Christmas, and even back then it was clear the series was going down hill.

Vacation > European Vacation > Christmas Vacation > Pretends Vegas Vacation doesn't exist.

This could be fun, you could have Rusty doing the road trip from hell to Wally World, with grandpa Clark being the one that dies and gets strapped to the roof.

xsarien: The last funny Vacation movie was Christmas, and even back then it was clear the series was going down hill.

Vacation > European Vacation > Christmas Vacation > Pretends Vegas Vacation doesn't exist.

i have a slightly different opinion

euro=christmas>vacation>vegas

first vacation is remembered as the best...and it does have a shiat ton of awesome to it, so i'm in no way knocking it...but i think they had the craft down better in euro and xmas

vegas was a good overall cheesy comedy, but not in line with the greatness of it's forecomers

the one everyone pretends doesn't exist (or maybe really doesn't know it exists) is xmas vaca 2. i have yet to watch it. probably will someday. but i've got a ton of other movies i'd rather watch first

how about instead of doing another VACATION movie, they do another SPIES LIKE US movie?

on second thought, that could be worse than a 65 year old clark...nevermind

MeinRS6: Oh, how long have we all been waiting for this reboot?

I hope they get the Roadhouse reboot green lit in time for Hugh Jackman to star. If it takes longer, he can still play the mentor.

except they aren't rebooting. if you (and subby for that matter) actually RTFA Ed's being cast as Rusty, not Clark and they are going with the continuation idea.

I think it's not a terrible idea. Have Rusty and his family on a roadtrip to see Mom and Dad and you can even work in a Chevy Chase cameo, cousin Eddie too if Randy Q is out of jail by then. Cast some of the other movies Griswold kids as quickie cameos to boost the nostalgia factor. Bam, moneymaker. Possibly even a good film but thats a toss-up
