1977
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away a film called Star Wars was released and the cinema going public loved it. Fevrent fans had to wait three years for a sequel to be made.
2003
A film called Kill Bill (part 1 of a part 2 epic) was released and Tarantino announced that Part 2 would be released in February 2004 (which, by the way has yet to happen).
As much as I love modern films, I can't help but think that they are being released to quickly.
As I have said above, Star Wars was released in 1977, Empire in 1980 and Jedi in 1983. Of course, our beloved triolgy was released over a eight year period.
I am aware that at this stage, CGI did not exist and therefore these days, less time can be spent on special effects, but the thing is, when these films were made, people had to wait a few years for sequels to be released. Gee, I'm doing my best not to sound like I'm from another century i.e. 'in my day we had to wait years to see the sequel'. Oh, wait a minute, I am. but I can't help but feel that films that are given a little more time, they tend to work out better.
Take for instance the The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. These films were made back to back and released within months of each other, and I can't help but feel that if more time was spent on these films, they may have turned out better.
Of course, on the other hand, over the years audiences have become more demanding and have come to expect films to be released a lot faster than they once were.
I would be very much interested in reading your comments etc.
Is Canyon over-reacting? <small>(or maybe I'm still thinking of the time I had to wait a year for Last Crusade to be released on VHS!)</small>
Find out in the next exciting installment...oh wait, we've already made the sequel!
