Dance Movie Sequels

Eh, I don't feel like doing this I'm having a bit of a crisis which is annoying. All I can really say about it is that some people should think about what they're doing and not be an idiot.
Anyway moving on because I need to think about something else for a little bit. I watched a pseudo-sequel last night and it reminded me that I really don't like sequels. I mean there are some that I really like such as Clerks II some I just really don't like and wish the filmmakers would have thought a little bit harder before they started filming. For some reason a few weeks ago I was watching a lot of dance movie sequels I'm not entirely sure why but it seemed like a good idea. So the first one I watched that I'm going to complain about was Center Stage 2 yes the first Center Stage wasn't all that awesome but I liked it the best of the originals. In the original we follow Jodie Sawyer who really wants to go to get into the company of the ABA and by the end she realizes that she can do better then what the ABA might offer her so she joins Cooper Nielson's new company and everyone is happy and they have a cheesetastic ending. Center Stage 2 they choose to follow a new girl which I think was a good idea, anyway Kate Parker goes and tries to get inteo the ABA training like Jodie Sawyer did (although she doesn't know who Jodie Sawyer is in fact Jodie has nothing to do with this movie) and gets rejected so it's about her trying to overcome the odds and whatnot. My main issue with this movie is at the beginning Peter Gallagher (I can't be bothered to look up his character name) is introducing the ABA staff to the prospective students and intoduces Cooper Nielson to them and mentions offhandly that he had to come back with them because his company went under. My main concern there is that we spent the whole first movie worrying about Jodie and she goes and joins Cooper's company and now it's gone under. What happened to Jodie? What was the point of the first movie?
The second movie to complain about is Save the Last Dance 2. This one is still about Sara Johnson. Mistake number one the filmmaker made was that they cast someone else as Sara and while I fully understand why Julia Stiles wouldn't want to have anything to do with this movie I don't see why they couldn't at least cast someone with an american accent and actually looks at least a little bit like Julia. Secondly the first movie was sort of about dancing and more about Sara and Derek and them fighting to be together. So in the second movie when Sara shows up at school saying that she has an open relationship with this guy from back home and then ten seconds later is going out with this new black guy, I get a little confused. Why would she have spent all that time and energy fighting to be with Derek and then bail at the first chance she got?
It's things like that that bother me about sequels. At least in Clerks II Kevin Smith doesn't decide to go off in some crazy direction while also not making the same movie over again.
Anyway I'm done ranting for now. I have to start thinking about what to write about tomorrow. Also I may have to do that one early becuase I may not be near my computer then.
