Hanna's first blog...the sequel

It's been awhile since my last blog.  I suppose I was a bit hesistant to write something after the success of my last post.  Two comments may not seem like a lot, but when the number of comments your blog receives outnumbers the total number of posts you have, then two is a huge number.  Anyway, I digress...

There was hesitation on my part to write a second blog because it's essentially a sequel.  Sequels, by definition, suck.  They're fool hardy attempts to squeeze money from people who are stupid enough to believe that just because you tack on "2" or "II" at the end of a good movie means it's going to be worth watching (see: Legally Blonde 2, Charlie's Angels 2).  Sometimes, the industry tries to be sly about it.  Instead of adding II at the end of the film's title, making it blatantly obvious that the film is a sequel, they instead opt to insert a word into the title (see: The Next Karate Kid, Dumb and Dumberer).  It almost, just ALMOST, makes it seem like an entirely new movie.  (Good try, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.)   Occasionally, a good sequel will be released that manages to top the original film, but this is the exception not the rule!  And this normally occurs because the sequel is so bad, it's good (see Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights).

Fortunately, my sequel isn't a highly anticipated blockbuster film.  It's just a blog, and my only follower is my friend Laura Konecne.  Hi Laura.
