Jim Carrey and crew apparently just got over dry heaving after seeing Dumb and Dumberer and said "goddamn we can do better."
Hence, DUMB AND DUMBER 2, starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Fuck yeah!

"We're getting set to shoot Dumb and Dumber 2 in September," the director told ComingSoon.net. "We've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back."

Imagine there is a chart here
Pee pee doo doo
Almost this exact thing happened to me and my brother when we were kids. Well before the movie.
Only we were drinking slurpees and the dude was way creepier
because it says 8 but the color coded part says 7
So I am conflicted by this news.
On the other hand, cutting off that list at 10 is a disservice to the number of original pictures produced. I'd like to see the same list at 20, if not 30 or 50. Even if they're not hugely grossing movies, it still shows a constant state of creativity amongst Hollywood.
And the part about 'Franchises we're still supporting' is well, disingenuous at best, but a whole bunch of BS. Sure, Harry Potter has stretched across a decade. Great. It's still an original adaption, and hasn't been reproduced. Planet of the Apes being 'still supported' is BS. There was a movie then, and a movie now. Coincidental at best. At that logic, you could say that series has been 'still supported' since '68, AND was just as 'unoriginal' because it was an adaptation. Fast and Furious have had a total of, what, 5 movies now? And some disparity of how well they were recieved? It's still an 'original' series. Which is another thing 'sequel' makes sound so bad; it's one thing when a sequel is produced years and years after an original, as an obvious money grab. But when it's being purposely produced as a series, because no one's going to sit through a five hour long movie? That doesn't mean it's less original than a single movie production.
all things being equal, an original has more artistic merit

right yes, but unless it is a remake it is still an original story
yes but it does make it "not an original"
not necessarily at least
I was way off
based on existing Intellectual Property
and?
Google+
it makes it distinct from original IP and less artistically meritorious.
because?
no one promises originality will be good, but at least it leads (in most cases) to fresher concepts thorugh an evolutionary, forward moving, progressive process of ideas, while sequels tend towards a rehash of the same basic selling points while adjusting moderatly for changing times and tastes. I'm not saying sequels are basically bad. I enjoy sequels! but they should not be the dominating force in the industry.
OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF
just in the context of hollywood, they've become formula for studios with little vision hence shit like transformers 3 and a billion comic book adaptations
Sometimes they are right.
because there is less originality in it. There has been less investment in creating characters, settings, relationships and style, there are fewer avenues of artistic expression. Creating a fleshed out character from scratch is one of the things that makes a writer an artist, if they use existing characters they are subverting that step. There is one less chance for them to create something.
Why?
nope!
Because creativity is not about quality.

The book is self-important horseshit, the movie has way more of a sense of humor about how absurd it is
