Editor’s note: It has come to our attention that a few readers out there might take exception to a few details of Grantland’s Sequeltology bracket. Rest assured, friends: You are not alone in your dissent.

Grantland E-mails: Why Is The Silence of the Lambs Not a Sequel?
As we prepared this week’s Sequeltology bracket, the Grantland staff found itself debating one of the most important philosophical questions of the motion picture era: Is The Silence of the Lambs actually a sequel? After a lengthy exchange, and not a few angry post-debate shin-kickings, we settled on an answer. Sort of. For our purposes. […]

YouTube HOF: Chase Scenes
We’re in the home stretch of summer movies, that point in August where Hollywood knows that our heat-exhausted little brains can only handle watching one thing chase another thing, in hopes of getting it or blowing it up (see: Premium Rush, Hit and Run). But this week’s releases have a lot to live up to, […]

YouTube HOF: All-Expendables Edition
Editor’s note: When the first Expendables came out in 2010, the general consensus seemed to be “this is great seeing all these perfectly aged action stars come together for one preposterous, over-the-top testosterone explosion, but how could they have left out Liam Hemsworth?” Luckily, The Expendables 2 comes out this week to right its predecessor’s […]

They are the only team in the NBA who is continually […]

YouTube HOF: Secret Agent Men (and Women)
Editor’s note: It’s a big year for spies, with the Bourne parallel-equel/spinoff The Bourne Legacy opening this weekend, and the latest Bond effort, Skyfall, coming out this fall. Here are some of the Grantland staff’s picks for the coolest, weirdest, and homeless-est secret agents in TV and film history. For Your Eyes Only (1981) Mike […]

YouTube HOF: Classic Schwarzenegger
Editor’s note: The Total Recall remake hits theaters this weekend, and aside from a few pro–Colin Farrell stalwarts who will not be named, most of us here at Grantland are just feeling misty for the Arnold Schwarzenegger action era of which the original was a vital part. Every Governator has his origin story, and this […]

YouTube HOF: Olympic Endorsements
The London Games kick off this week, and we here at the Hollywood Prospectus blog thought we’d take a break from not talking about sports to fully indulging in OLYMPIC FEVER!, particularly the part where corporations make money off of OLYMPIC FEVER! Here are a few of the often strange, frequently cynical, and occasionally amazing […]

YouTube HOF: Batman!
The expectations couldn’t be higher for Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight follow-up, The Dark Knight Rises (which hits theaters this weekend, for those of you living in … I don’t know, some kind of cave). Seeing as the Batman franchise has gone through some extreme ups and downs in the 70-odd years since first being […]
