Is 36 years for a sequel a record?

It appears so. Or at least depending in the exact day, nearly tied. Top Gun was also 36.

I'm not counting Bambi/Bambi II because while it got a theatrical release, it didn't in the U.S. where it was direct to video. Otherwise that would be 64 years.

Today, to beat that, there would need to be a sequel to a movie from 1959.

One of my favorite jazz albums is Hard Groove from The Rh Factor.

I always knew "Hard Groove" was just a play on Roy Hargrove's name (the band leader/trupeter). I had always though that the band name was just some random cool-sounding combination with his initials...but Rh Factor is actually a biology term having to do with blood typing. There's the A/B/O factor, and then the positive/negative part of your blood type is called the "Rh Factor", and it's named this because the first animal it was discovered in was a Rhesus monkey.

Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy dropped onto Xbox Game Pass, so I downloaded it to give it a go. I've played the Spyro remaster but not this.

After about 10 minutes I got too frustrated and had to quit, I was just getting flashbacks to how frustrating the game used to be and the jumping is still shit. :LOL:
