Sequels that should never be...
Time
I knew what you meant, YIYF. And I agree. I think that's why Rocky IV came out. Where Rocky showed Balboa losing and Rocky II showed him winning by contrast, Rocky III showed his as lazy and complacent and Rocky IV showed him during intense concentration. Bear in mind though that this does not mean that Drago is the lazy and complacent one. Just too reliant on Soviet technology.

Comic book movies - who says yes and who says no?
Time
I don't think Secret Wars would work. Too many conflicting characters and personalities to fit on the big screen at one time. It would be like Black Hawk Down in that you never get much emphasis on any one character and you'd walk out of the theater feeling rather unsatisfied. In BHD this is okay, because they are supposed to be just soldiers. But to have the XMen, FF, Spidey, et al, on screen at once all of which are recognizable characters and none having a significant amount of screentime simply due to the need to get the story told, would just be way too much in too little time.

New iPod
Time
Yeah, it's the iPod Shuffle. It's Flash based instead of hard drive based. No screen. But most MP3 players do not have a screen. This comes in both 512MB and 1GB models and retail for $150-200. Nice little toy, that's for damn sure. I still like my 3G 15GB model. It goes everywhere with me.
