hmmm. I'm a little out of touch with the films. Was Clark trying to recreate something that was lost or create something he never had? I can't remember. Not that canon is a big deal with these films. It's a funny idea though. A road trip from Hell and young Clark thinking he'll do better one day when he's a dad. I'm almost half cut it with his wife having the dreamy best childhood vacations imaginable. That would be funny.

It'd be cute, because some people are just born lucky. But tragic cause she hitched her wagon to Clark. I like that kind of thing. Life is like that.

I love Vacation 1-3. First one is in my top 20 movies of all time. But aren't you kinda just admitting that you are not creative by suggesting ANOTHER prequel in this miserable world? Makes you look boring, chief. Anybody can say "Bone Tomahawk part 2!" "Goodfellas Part 2!" "Clueless Too. Electric Boogaloo"
You know, I love "Pulp Fiction", but I'm not gonna make threads about how we need prequels to explain how Marcel rose to power. Or how Butch learned how to box. Do we need to know why Vincent Vega was strung out on heroin? No. We don't.

Sorry, I'm having a bad week. I take it all back. It is a good idea. Carry on.
