what, no bugs bunny shorts allowed? no 10 cloverfield lane? ...no fury road? pity. on the other hand, les parapluies des cherbourg is absolutely a chronological sequel to lola, with a returning cast member. it fits. i will defend its right to be here. to the death. (maybe not that far.)

turns out, incidentally, that i don't love all that many sequels according to this particularly strict definition, and most of the ones i do love are fairly derided. i've long resigned myself to having the worst of all possible film-engagement experiences: picky with bad taste.
