May 15 2008'Point Break: Indo' Becoming Tragically More Real with Director Now Signed
To make a successful, gratifying sequel to any movie, you only really need two elements at work: the original screenwriter and a really kick-ass title. The planned sequel to 1991's Point Break, Point Break: Indo (nesia?) has both those things, so it will clearly be an amazing experience. Sure, some may say it's worrisome that it's been 17 years since the original. Or that we should be concerned that none of original cast or characters have been announced, and that the director of Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is at the helm, and that the original Ex-Presidents gang is being replaced by a topical reference to the Bush Administration. These people clearly don't know what they're talking about, or haven't heard how kick-ass the title is. Hopefully when the tagline inevitably reveals that Point Break: Indo is "200% pure adrenaline," their apprehensions will be quelled.

Am I the first?
Yeah, great, I've never been the first!
A sequel without original cast is a no-go for me...

Okay, so why aren't they doing what they should with this sequel's name, I mean, it's so obvious, Point Break: Back to the Point. I've been joking about writing a script for a sequel to Point Break simply for the title for years, but never, NEVER, should this really be made. Not good, not good at all.

I AM AN F-B-I- AGENT!!!! If this line is not in the movie along with someone firing their gun in the air whilst yelling 'AAAAHHHH!!!!' I will be incredibly disappointed. Also more states as last names. I suggest Timmy Kansas.

Dang, this was one of the all-time great movies of the '90s! Hopefully the sequel doesn't do *too* much damage. Of course it won't be the same without Keanu or Patrick, but let's just hope that the "Indo" really *does* refer to Indonesia, and not, say, something more along the lines of:
"Rollin' down the street/smokin' Indo/sippin' on gin and juice".
Because that would just be a travesty. Stoned surfers? Psh. 'Ts been done. ;)

Motherfuckers who put the original movie's name in the sequel's title but then don't put a number between the original movie's title and the colon that denotes subtitle are the world's most cowardly sons of bitches.

Don't worry that this might suck. Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.
