This is truly a sad day for fans of the franchise who would like to see the remaining films treated with the respect and dedication that the series deserves.

Bush OKs 700-mile border fence

2006-10-29T14:51:00.000-05:00

Sigh...... OK I think a fence is a REALLY stupid idea. I have since I heard that it was one of the new legislation packages that was bouncing around. I look at it this way, a fence is a two way thing. Fences keep out, but they also keep in. It's as if the fence is a concrete thing that represents the loss of freedoms and rights in this country.OK, so we have a new fence. Great. Now as CNN

People really don't want things like an interesting story line, believable characters or quality film making. Guess just those freaks that go see indie films or go to Sundance want that.
