Made Sure ‘Justice League’ Runtime Was Under Two Hours What Happened Luke Skywalker Between Episodes 6 and 7 is “Not Important” in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ ‘The Magic Order’ is Mark Millar’s First Comic Book for Netflix In The Mailbag: Errol from LA writes in “what movies you think should have had a sequel but never did, and if you have the time, what would be the plot of said sequel? Mine would be Brothers Bloom, where (spoilers coming up) the sequel has Bloom on the run from diamond dog and not being able to cope with trying to plan without Stephen around, who was the main driver of Blooms entire life in the first film. Would love to hear your thoughts on a sequel that never was.” Peter’s Picks: Tron: Legacy, Dredd, The Goonies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Almost Famous? Swingers?
