Buzz In: Which Movie Series and Franchises Should Just End?

If you were feeling an emptiness in your life that only the Nutty Professor could fill, well today's your lucky day: A third installment of that kooky prof's story is in the works.

In other sequel news, apparently theaters will be filled with the pitter-patter of little Focker feet when a third Meet the Parents/Fockers film comes out (now with Blythe Danner and Robert deNiro confirmed), which naturally will deal with the hiccups and burbles of parenthood with such zany grandparents.

I like both Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, but not so much that I think they needed to reproduce. I also think the Spider-Man movies starring Tobey Maguire have probably run their course. Do you think yet another Indiana Jones movie is a good idea? What other series of films do you think should just stop now?

Jessica Alba May Meet the Little Fockers

The latest installment in the Meet the Parents/Meet the Fockers franchise will not just introduce young diapered characters, but it'll also introduce a pretty young thing. Jessica Alba is in talks to play a sexpot pharmaceutical rep in Little Fockers, the third Fockers movie.

Alba's character's beauty is supposed to "wreak havoc on the male characters" - not an unbelievable task for the actress.

Though I thought the Focker series had run its course when this sequel was announced, I'm curious to see how big of a part Alba will have. She's not exactly my favorite actress in the world, but at least the franchise is introducing some new blood to add to the ensemble.
