How unoriginal is Hollywood, you ask? Not only will there be a sequel to Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, it will be titled Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. In the original 2001 film, Jay and Silent Bob went to Hollywood and tried to halt production of a movie based on them. If only we could stop production of this sequel!

"There's a sucker born every minute" is a saying usually attributed to P.T. Barnum. It was actually an observation made by David Hannum, a banker who was amazed at the large numbers of people who believed Barnum's fake "petrified giant man" was real. It seems that tv and movie sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots are born every minute, too. Today in Hollywood unoriginality:

"Let me tell ya something, kid. Everybody gets one chance to do something great." Yeah, unless you're a Hollywood producer. Then you get hundreds of chances to do sequels and reboots and remakes. There were two direct-to-video Sandlot sequels (2005, 2007) and now we'll have a television series. I wonder if Squints still has a crush on Wendy Peffercorn.
