For some reason, I’ve had sequels on the brain lately, so let’s talk about them. What’s your favorite one? It can be a book or a film. I mentioned Terminator 2 in the newsletter, and I stand buy it. That’s a great stand-alone movie. I enjoyed it for twenty years before I ever saw the one that came before it. For books, I’d have to say The Two Towers. The Fellowship of the Rings is obviously great, but I’m a sucker for big battles against the odds. I liked the movies, too, but I find I can’t rewatch them because they’re too long. I can only sit through so many Sam and Frodo scenes before I end up just scrolling on my phone. That’s a problem with me, not Tolkien. I’m too jaded to relate to a friendship that deep. So what’s your favorite sequel? Sound off in the comments.
