Oh, BROTHER. It doesn’t make any sense for me to get mad about this, because I’ve never seen any of these movies, but I can’t help it! Five is SO MANY SEQUELS! What, are movie studio execs worried that there’s too much interesting, original content out there? “There are just no more ideas out there, guys. We’ve used every single one. Time to go back to formula. Let’s reuse the ideas of yesteryear, but make sure we’re only reusing yesteryear’s absolute best ideas.” -Hollywood. Whatever. It’ll make a million billion dollars, I know, and it’ll be my job to explain to my grandchildren why we spent all our money on Final Destination sequels instead of fixing global warming. “I don’t know,” I’ll say, shaking my head morosely. “I only had one day to guest blog a pop culture site and sound the warning bell. But, by then, it was too late.”
Update: Link fixed. “Enjoy!”

“The Video You Have Requested Is Not Available” — new Final Destination tagline. Because they should have DIED in the trailer and didn’t and now must survive various internet shenanigans at the hands of The Lawnmower Man
“The Video you Requested is Not Available.”
Finally, my computer network exercises some taste!
“The video you have requested is not available due to a copyright claim by Mrs. Beyoncé Knowles.”
‘Destination’ sounds too much like ‘Destiny’s Child,’ you guys!
Here’s an idea, in the 6th one Cookie Monster is on a roller coaster but he doesn’t die
#HollywoodPostItNote
Just another Final Destination film to heighten my fear of the truck, in front of me on the freeway, riding over a pothole and its (sharp) contents sliding off the truck into my windshield and piercing my skull…. I didn’t ask for this.
The Donna Darko you have requested is widely available.
As are the requested spider boners.
Oh, you won’t need to explain this to your grandchildren. In fact, THEY’LL have to explain to YOU why they’re so pumped about the new Final Destination reboot that their generation’s Rob Zombie is directing. Spoiler alert: their explanation will involve the fact that he is breathing new life into the franchise, after it was killed by a huge amount of sequels and a crossover movie with the Saw killer.
Final Fantasy franchise, your days are numbered…
As long as there are nerds, there will be new Final Fantasy games. Mostly so the nerds can complain about how much better the older incarnations were.
wait nerds are hipsters now? who should I hate? everybody I guess, except you guys
My meaning as more along the line of Final Fantasy will soon be overtaken by Final Destination as the “Final” franchise with the most sequels, and not so much a meaning of they will be driven out of business or some such.
To nerd out briefly, I’ve played FF 4-12 and Tactics AND Vagrant Story (WHICH COUNTS, IMO! *pushes up glasses*), and I’ve enjoyed the more recent “technically-advanced worlds” games along with the more fantasy ones. A lot of people swear by 6 as their favorite (after 7 came out because it’s always the one before the big hit that’s “the best” or whatever), but my favs immediately were 7 (because it was my introduction and MAN was it fun), 9, 12, Tactics and Vagrant Story.
The connecting thread through most of my favs is Yasumi Matsuno’s Ivalice world which first popped up in Tactics, and his awesome team of game designers including Akihiko Yoshida (SQUEE!) on character art design duties and Hitoshi Sakimoto on the musical scores. Tactics, Vagrant Story and 12 were the perfect trifecta for me, and after I beat 12 I stopped playing the games because I had stuff to do like go to work, be productive and meet deadlines!

Also, I’ve said it before, but I will continue to see every single one of the Final Destination movies without shame or irony. You know why? Fucking Rube Goldberg Death Machines!!! Amazing.
I just started working on a new job that pretty much completely keeps me from using the internet and commenting here. What I’m saying is that I think this job is really just an elaborate way to drive me crazy and force me to jump off a ledge. So, yeah. My JOB is a Rube Goldberg Death Machine.
I upvoted you, and now feel bad that I may be implicit in your death. More like FINAL UPVOTE 5.
I pretty much love the first one, due in large part to a raging Ali Larter girlcrush. There’s something about the blandness of Devon Sawa that soothes my soul.
Does this one have Devon Sawa or Ali Larter? Cause if not, it’s just a bunch of 20-something teens getting their faces ripped off by a Tilt-a-Whirl.
Nope. “Not featuring Devon Sawa” seems to be a very popular theme for movies.
“Not featuring Devon Sawa” is pretty much the theme of my life.
Aw. Who’d have thought that, out of the Idle Hands crew, he’d be the least famous one 12 years later?
Oh. Everyone? Hrm. I also liked that guy who was the lead in PCU. How’s he doing these days?
….
I suppose I’ll put the kibosh on Olivececile Predicts the Stars, LLC. Sell your stock while you can.
He stopped being famous after the first one so they had a little throw away line about him dying inbetween movies 1 & 2.
Hear that? Devon Sawa wasn’t famous enough to be in Final Destination 2. Poor little guy.
I thought he died in real life. But I recently learned he is alive. I was very surprised!
That was Brad Renfro you’re thinking of. Pretty sure it was Brad Renfro.
PS: Devon Sawa died on the way back to his home planet.
That One! There was an ‘X-Files’ from season 7 called “The Goldberg Variation” that I recall being OK and that is STREAMING ON NETFLIX RIGHT NOW
Rube Goldberg Death Machine is an incredible band name. I just don’t know what type of band. My last band name was for a death metal band, Abortion by Apocalypse.
Doomcore Witch House Hybrid
Stabbing Hobos. It fits into almost any genre. Runners up: Courtesy Flush, Taintbrush.
I think I’ve seen all the Final Destination movies so far. In each one, I think, there’s a scene where two people are walking across a street. The more important character walks in front of the minor character by a couple of steps. Without fail, the second character will be run over by a car. They never see the car. How do they not see the car!? They always have impeccable death timing.
they keep saying it’s the FINAL destination, but then it never is.
But “Final Journey Is Its Own Reward or Something” doesn’t have the same kick to it
why not just Destination. then they could be Another Destination, Yet Another Destination, Knock Knock! Who’s there? DESTINATION!, etc. they should’ve saved Final Destination until they were really SURE they were done.
but what if i didn’t request this video? i requested “kitten wearing glasses and visor does taxes.” is that available?
he lost his visor
The comment I have made is not available.
We don’t need another Final Destination. What we need is another Saw. That’s a franchise that hasn’t had enough sequels.
We need a Saw Vs. Final Destination.
