Yes I did hear that they were coming out with another "Jurassic"/"Lost World" movie (the titles of those movies are almost as confusing as the "Star Wars" series). Recently we were checking out at the supermarket and saw a "Jurassic" movie in the bargain bin and bought it thinking it was the original/first movie, and to our surprise, when we played the movie it was actually one which we hadn't ever seen before! Then we inspected the DVD cover design more closely, and noticed that after the words "Jurassic Park" there were three easy-to-miss dark-red squiggly slash marks (claw marks) against a dark background, which were intended to be a stylized roman-numeral three! Doh! I didn't realize there was a "III" movie...maybe because there was no corresponding Crichton book for that one like the first two (of which I read the book first than saw the movie for each). The "III" movie was actually not bad; kind of a fun/exciting visual roller coaster ride like those movies were apparently intended to be.

I really liked the first two Star Wars movies....but after that it seemed like they were just milking the franchise for more money without any good or inspired new ideas...and the whole thing got bogged down with Lucas' obsessions about how each movie played out its part within the overall saga. I've never yet even seen one of that "episode whatever" group of three movies, and one of the others that someone gave us the DVD, we saw about half of it before we both lost interest and snoozed off and never came back to finish it (maybe it was the same one you fell asleep to, LOL!). Of the latest batch of Star Wars movies, I thought one was just a total rehash of recycled elements from the original movie. At this point, I will have to have my arm twisted to see any more of those movies (and if I go I will bring a comfortable pillow).
