Boo-fucking-hoo. Why do you give a shit? Honestly.

If you want there to be a sequel than good for you factotum (get the joke? GET IT?), but Hunter doesn’t and he can say whatever he wants on his blog.

You’re wasting your time bitching about this shit here. It’s pointless, it’s a harmless poll meant to be funny.

Of course, School of Rock’s fanbase is pretty much pre-teens anyway, so to expect logic in their responses is lunacy.

School of Rock was a mediocre film. I’ve seen it a couple of times, and hey, my kid finds it entertaining.

Sequel for this flick? My opinion, PLEASE NO! When is a sequel ever
a truly good idea? We’ve had some luck with comic/fantasy movies, but every other genre typically fails in their attempt to capitalize on the success of the first.

All that said, I don’t necessarily crave a sequel, but I’d still see it.

At Ben Franklin: Love your work man, but it’s a movie site. Its ALL pointless.

Well done Hunter - how about leaving all the writing to Peter from now on?

Although if White/Black/Linklater were involved, I can’t see how it could result in a bad film.

“Their movie? They can do what they want”

Their blog? They can do what they want.

Sucks don’t it?

Brilliant! Do you have a flying contraption you’d like to sell?

Nobody owns the movie except the people who own the movie (and that’s not you). If Mike White wants to write a sequel to his movie, then he can and you can’t stop him. If Producer X wants to remake a movie you consider “classic” and “sacred” and he has the technical rights to do so… guess what? You can’t stop him. He/she/they are entitled to do whatever they want with their movies, their stories, their characters, their money, and their time. You don’t own anything to do with School of Rock or Robocop or Halloween or Star Wars. So acting as if the mere fact that you disagree with some bit of news represents a great transgression against your fragile genius psyche and subsequently motivates you to attempt to rally more to your opinionated cause is a pathetic waste of time and — especially from a “I’m an against-the-mainstream-grain internet movie cynic” — rather unoriginal.

Bitching and moaning about these sorts of things just casts more attention on something you claim to despise and/or oppose (while also giving it more exposure and publicity). Now, if it was some sort of empirical mistake or logical contradiction or someone involved with a movie said one thing and then did another, that would be news for the mere fact that it was worth pointing out. But writing pieces about “me and my friends don’t like the idea of this — agree with us!” is just completely negating the purpose of a site like /Film, which is designed to educate and connect people to stories, not force-feed subjective thoughts to those who are seeking information.

A much better course of action would have been to post the news “Mike White has written a sequel to School of Rock” and then MAYBE had a poll (with enough choices to cover all possible reactions) and then asked people to respond, in the comments, as to how they felt about this news.

M&Co. made a great point: motherfuckers, you haven’t even the slightest clue as to what the movie is ABOUT (not to mention: who’s in it, who’s directing it, etc). And even once you have that information, there’s a really good chance that you STILL won’t have any idea about what the final product will resemble.

Report the NEWS (this person signed on, this movie comes out on this date, here’s a new poster, here’s some pictures, here’s a blog post from the director), fairly poll readers’ feelings about upcoming projects/people/ideas, and wait until you’ve seen a movie before writing about its quality.

Oh, and just for the record: if a movie looks SO bad to you/offends your sensibilities so much, as a film watcher… um, maybe don’t give them free publicity by posting about it on a highly-trafficked site?

Note to self: In the future look out for “childly bias.”

Alot of people liked School of Rock. Just because Hunter “Holier-than-thou” Stevenson didn’t like it [because you're too busy trying to be an artsy-fartsy film snob], doesn’t mean you have to belittle everything about it.

I liked School of Rock. I hope they do make a sequel. And I hope Hunter stops posting. Seriously. You make me not want to read this site. Normally I completely skip your posts and read about it a different site. One not so childly biased.

I just like movies with Jack Black that are about music, so even if it was a sequel I’d probably still enjoy it, but I wouldn’t cry. At least not again anyway.

We will reconsider. Rectangles are great.
