We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

It maybe a bad movie, but at least it wasn't anything like the third movie!

Too true.  Neverending Story 2 is pretty weak, especially after the incredible first, but it's still about 500x better than the third.

At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

I know, that's pretty annoying, but if you click the ad, you get to bypass the commercial and go straight to the video.  Sure, you get a pop up ad, but you get to teh video faster.

I just use AdBlock Plus and never see any of the ads on any of the Flash-based video sites, like youtube, cinemassacre, dailymotion, etc.

Too many plot holes! Why would he wish for a spray can?

If he was going to wish for anything in a metal containtor, he should have got a fire extingisher.  Those things always seem so effective against different monsters or killer creatures!

Yeah, the spraycan thing is seriously ridiculous. Why not wish for a bazooka or a chainsaw ?

...or just wish the monsters themselves were gone. 

Personally, I'd just wish I had the powers of Superman.

BTW, on another note, the first film is basically the first half of the book by Michael Ende, and the second movie is essentially the second half.  The first film is much closer to the book. 

But, I might add the whole bit where he loses his memory is not caused by the evil queen type lady in the book.  Rather, it's simply a side effect of the wish itself.  Like, the kid in the book is fat and short.  So he wishes to be tall and handsome - but then loses the memories related to ever not being tall and handsome. 

It's a much better way of doing it, and really is a much more effective story device.

I'd wish for everything to be perfect, beer, babes, and bullets (well, maybe not bullets) :teddyr:
yeah no.
