If Grease 2 taught us anything, and it did, sequels are almost always better than the originals (loathe be I to distract attention away from the main event, but seriously, click on that link.

How often have you heard this:
“Mum! Mum! I want a lolly!”
And thought to youself: “boy, I wish there was a safe, medically tested way I could make that fucking kid shut up. I don’t care that it’s not mine. I want peace and I will get it any cost”. Kinda like the Bush administration. Ooooh, [...]
