  • A college-reunion sequel is preferred to Grand Canyon because the ensemble still has story left.
  • The imagined sequel has Meg’s grown son return for his piece of Running Dog shoes and become a Pacific Heights-style threat.
  • Kasdan’s Empire Strikes Back, Raiders, Body Heat, Continental Divide, Return of the Jedi, and Big Chill run is called the greatest opening screenwriting stretch.
