i don't like sequels when there's too much time between their productions. i say that once a year has passed after a movie is released that you have no right to make or even consider making a sequel. your window has passed.
Aww com'on... Starship Troopers 2 rulz! Steady Eddie Neumeier can do no wrong in my books. BTW, what are you doing watching Evening Star in the first place? Yikes!
PS. There's a straight to DVD Starship Troopers 3 on the way. It's called "Marauder" and Ed Neumeier is directing.
"...once a year has passed after a movie is released that you have no right to make or even consider making a sequel."
Really!? So you think about 95% of all sequels never should never even have been considered - much less produced? No Godfather, no T2, no Empire Strikes Back, no 28 Weeks Later, no Aliens? I mean the list goes on and on.
You MAY have a valid argument, but your time frame I think is a little small. But I don't think time should matter at all. If someone wanted to do a sequel for Metropolis (1927), I'd be all about it. Time means nothing to film (usually).

That in itself is something of an accomplishment; Smith has been so hell-bent on creating and maintaining a bad-ass...

Now that the Razzie Awards for the worst films of the year have devolved into cheap shots at easy targets, perhaps it's time for their foreign equivalents to carry on the torch. Consider France's Gérard Awards, which, at the very least, have a lot more fun with the titles of their prizes. They also manage to put a few awards-darlings...
