Last week two Enbrel cases rolled in. We're going to discuss one of them, the earlier one, today: Deese v. Immunex Corp., 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17342 (S.D. Miss. February 13, 2012). We'll do the later one later. Both cases are favorable for the defense. Truth be told, the second case -- the one we're not addressing today -- is a tad more interesting.

And naturally, we started thinking of instances where the sequel was better than the original, though the original was good. We were going to offer our top-ten-sequel-movies-that-outdid-the-original, but we could come up with only nine, and one of them is questionable. The questionable one is Godfather 2. Sometimes we like it better than the original. But the Michael Corleone arc in the first one is so perfect. And then there's Brando. So call that one a push. Now we're down to eight:

1. The Empire Strikes Back is better than Star Wars (A New Hope). If you disagree with that, well, we really don't have much to say to each other, do we? We simply occupy different moral and aesthetic universes.

2. Superman 2 is better than Superman.

3. The Wrath of Khan is much better than the rather leaden first Star Trek film

4. Die Hard 2: Die Harder is more fun than Die Hard. (Though it's a close call as to whether Alan Rickman or Jeremy Irons was the better villain.)

5. The Road Warrior is a fully sustained thrill ride, whereas Mad Max is somewhat indecipherable. The folks in the original are allegedly speaking English, but we need subtitles.
