I was just discussing this Warner Bros. sequel cash-in debacle with my wife, and lo and behold Lost Boys was on Scream (Canadian Horror Channel). I have to say it holds up remarkably well, especially when compared to its contemporaries. There is nothing in the film that dates it horribly, it pretty much timeless. For an 80\'s movie, it lacks all the fashion (and music) that make films look silly now, with the exception of Marco.
Looking at this new strategy by WB (which I assume includes the MGM catalog Turner bought in \'85), I shudder to think of what else is in the pipeline:
Bladerunner 2: Still Runnin\'
The Goonies 2: Sloth in the Hood
Bill and Ted\'s Excellent Prequel
Platoon 2: Baghdad Patrol
And a bunch that already went south:
Robocop 4
Escape from "fill in the blank": Snake\'s "Fill in the Blank"
Mad Max 4: Beyond the Quality Necessatating a Theatrical Release
