Movie poster for a FaceOff sequel starring Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey.

“Lady Face/Off ”
Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey swap faces and nobody notices and their careers are unchanged.

《淑女变脸》 玛格特·罗比和艾玛·麦基互换了脸,结果没人发现,两人的事业也毫无变化。

“My Best Friend’s Divorce”
Julia Roberts succeeds this time—she and Dermot Mulroney end up together. That’s what you wanted, right? You sickos. Cameron Diaz, remember, dropped out of college when she was nineteen to marry Mulroney, so now she’s just coming up for air, like, what did I do with my life? And it’s too real. There’s a musical number randomly in the middle of it.

《我最好朋友的离婚》 这次朱莉娅·罗伯茨成功了——她和德莫特·马尔罗尼终成眷属。这不就是你们想要的吗?你们这些变态。还记得吗,卡梅隆·迪亚兹十九岁就从大学退学嫁给了马尔罗尼,所以现在她刚刚浮出水面喘口气,心想,我这一辈子都干了什么?而且太真实了。影片中间还莫名其妙插了一段歌舞。

Movie poster for a What About Bob sequel with Barry Keoghan.

“But Seriously, What About Bob?”
The two chillest hangs, Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss, reprise their roles. But now they both want to murder, I don’t know, Barry Keoghan or something.

《说真的,鲍勃到底怎么了?》 两位最松弛的玩伴,比尔·默瑞和理查德·德莱弗斯,重新演绎他们的角色。但现在他俩都想弄死,我说不好,巴里·基奥恩之类的什么人。

Movie poster for sequel to Reservoir Dogs featuring cats from CATS.

“Reservoir CATS”
Sort of a sequel to “Reservoir Dogs” while also being in the “CATS” universe, this film features an ensemble cast of C.G.I. felines with buttholes who do crimes or whatever “Reservoir Dogs” was about. I have not seen it and people need to stop yelling at me about that.

《落水猫》 算是《落水狗》的续集,同时又处于《猫》的宇宙之中,本片集结了一群带肛门的CGI猫科动物,它们犯下罪行,或者随便《落水狗》讲的是什么吧。我没看过这片,大家别再冲我吼了。

Movie poster featuring a bride and groom crying in a cemetery.

“Four More Weddings and Ten Funerals”
More of an endurance test than a movie.

《再来四个婚礼和十场葬礼》 与其说是电影,不如说是一场耐力测试。

“Rigged Election”
Reese Witherspoon’s kid becomes the first fascist high-school president.

《被操纵的选举》 瑞茜·威瑟斯彭的孩子成了第一位法西斯高中学生会主席。

“33 Going on 50”
It’s been twenty years since Jennifer Garner time-travelled or body-swapped or whatever she did in the first one. Now she’s thirty-three until she wakes up one day and she’s fifty. Her life is relatively unchanged, but she needs to go to physical therapy for a shoulder thing and also she and Mark Ruffalo are in a bit of a rut sexually but nothing unfixable. In fact, they go to couples therapy and it really does seem to help. She’s had great work done and looks exactly the same as she did in her early thirties. There’s not much conflict in this sequel but there is a random dance number.

《33岁直奔50岁》 距离詹妮弗·加纳穿越时空或者灵魂互换或者随便她在第一部里干了什么,已经过去二十年了。现在她一直三十三岁,直到某天醒来发现自己五十岁了。她的生活基本没什么变化,但她得去做物理治疗,因为肩膀有点问题,而且她和马克·鲁法洛在性生活上有点陷入倦怠,但也不是没法解决。事实上,他们去做了伴侣咨询,看起来确实挺有帮助。她医美做得很好,看起来和三十出头时一模一样。这部续集没什么冲突,但有一段随机插入的舞蹈。

Movie poster for sequel to Showgirls.

“Showgirls: Next Gen”
Or is this just what the latest season of “Euphoria” was? Either way, it’s hot girls eating puppy chow.

《艳舞女郎:次世代》 还是说,这不就是《亢奋》最新一季的内容吗?不管怎样,都是辣妹吃狗粮。

Movie poster for sequel to The Talented Mr. Ripley that's actually Saltburn.

“The Talented Mr. Ripley: The Reboot”
Barry Keoghan stars as a lower-class sociopath who goes to criminal lengths to ingratiate himself with a wealthy playboy, Jacob Elordi, and his wealthy family and—oh, wait, that’s “Saltburn.”

《天才雷普利:重启版》 巴里·基奥恩饰演一个底层出身的社会病态者,不择手段地攀附一个富家花花公子雅各布·艾洛蒂和他的富豪家庭,然后——哦,等等,那是《萨特本》。

“Decent Proposal”
Honestly? In this economy? Yeah, you can have sex with my wife. Have you seen gas prices right now?

《体面交易》 说实话?就现在这经济?行吧,你可以和我老婆上床。你看到现在的油价了吗?

“Father of the Common-Law-Married Bride”
This is just a thirty-seven-year-old woman and her long-term, live-in partner explaining to the woman’s parents for the hundredth time that they don’t believe in marriage, so please stop asking because we’ve been over this, Mother.

《事实婚姻新娘的父亲》 这就是一个三十七岁的女人和她同居多年的伴侣,第一百次向女方父母解释他们不相信婚姻,所以请别再问了,因为我们已经说过无数遍了,妈。
