Sure, but has he found the more money yet?

Fair.

Spaceballs 2: Somehow Spaceballs Returned

Well, the first movie said the sequel would be Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money, so I'd go with Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.

Combing the desert is repeating an old joke too.

It's a setup for a joke with 40 years of payoff.

A lot of his later movies were just repeated jokes from his older ones. Men in Tights reused a bunch of old gags, including the title song, which was "Jews in Space" from the epiloge of History of the World Part 1.

Nostalgia bait works.

You can’t deny it is pretty disheartening

I… do not agree. A poster that triggers nostalgia? It tells me nothing about the project.

It might be shitty, it might be fantastic.

I mean... that's true. But it's a MARKETING poster, put together by the marketing team - not the writers or creatives on the movie. Its intent is to get people to remember the original so they come to see this one. It's not supposed to be a high concept art piece. They'd be stupid not to lean into nostalgia.

What matters is the final film, and if it does the same thing.

Aye, forgot about that. Good call.

Why? New star wars new spoof.

The sw sequels are already self parodying.

And they shouldn't have.

With frickin lasers on their heads?

Typing this last to apologize in advance, my response turned into a bit of a rant. I'm gonna leave it as is, tho.

No, but it is yet another sequel of a movie/franchise that's had no activity for at least 10 years. Just like the new Naked Gun, Star Wars, Gladiator, Meet the Parents, Scary Movie, Toy Story, Shrek, Indiana Jones, The Devil Wears Prada, etc. Hollywood keeps making more stuff of established movies, many of which do not need a(nother) sequel, and I am sick and tired of it. And I'm not alone, but I do seem to be rather rare in actually doing something against it.

A few years ago, I saw an amazing movie called Juror #2 with a friend. It was within the first week of release in our country, but we were in a rather small room which wasn't even full yet. You know what was drawing a crowd? Gladiator II. Gladiator is an amazing movie, that does not need a fucking sequel. Now I've read some rumours that they are making a third one. I hate that everything good is being franchised to death, and I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people put up with it.
