On sequels that never needed to happen...

Let me preface this for Hannah: This film has been known about for quite a while now, but I decided to wait until now to expose it.

Coming soon to a theater near you: Son of the Mask

That's right, The Man decided that the world would be a better place if movie-goers were subjected to another sequel to a 90's era Jim Carrey comedy that doesn't feature Jim Carrey (See also Dumb and Dumberer) The premise, according to Yahoo! Movies:

Starting over from scratch, this newest film in the "Mask" series focuses on aspiring cartoonist Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) who's feeling reluctant to become a father when he finds that he has to take care of a baby with amazing abilities... somehow, the baby has the powers of the Mask of Loki, a mythological object that transforms its user into a manic shapeshifter alter-ego. As bad as a baby with godlike powers might seem, the *really* bad news is that Loki (Alan Cumming) wants his mask back.

Doesn't that sound like a winner? That's what I thought.
Opens nationwide February 18!

first of all, why the preface for me?

second of all, i thought 'dean wins!' was the single most terrifying phrase in human history. little did i know, it is actually 'the "Mask" series' that takes the cake. wow.
