More to come later, I have a bunch to say... but in the meantime; when I went to tvguide.com to see if someone was running an "Oh yeah, just in case you aren't an elephant and don't remember what happened twenty years ago when The Sopranos were last on" special prelude to tonight's new episode (I think "The TV Guide Channel" has something); I happened upon this:

The Cutting Edge. Two.

Made for TV... ABC Family.... sigh.

They, ahem, turn the original story on its head by featuring Christy Carlson Romano (Belle in Broadway's Beauty and the Beast, and the voice of TV's "Kim Possible") as Jackie Dorsey, apparently the eventual offspring of the D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly characters from the first movie.

"Jackie" (sorry, but that's such a stretch it's Reed Richards esque) is a champion figure skater, but of course, everything changes when she ends up with a new partner, derp!

Now... you know the knuckleheads who made this movie couldn't have just gotten another ice skater. No. So what other sport has crossover potential? Yes, you guessed it....

Roller Blading.

This is a direct quote from the movie's webpage: "Ross Thomas is Alex Harrison, a champion in-line skater with attitude to spare. He's got the moves on land but can he cut it on the ice? And when it comes to being Jackie's partner, does he have what it takes to melt an ice princess' heart?"

Now, I know, my love for The Cutting Edge is strange. But this is just wrong. This is The Next Karate Kid all over again, and somehow I don't think Ms. Carlson Romano, or Mr. Harrison, are going to break out and win an academy award someday.

Enough with the shitting on the bad movies that were suprisingly good by making another bad movie on the same premise that accomplishes nothing other than showing how bad the first bad movie could've been had it not had something save it from being bad.
