  Upcoming Movie Expectations
August 29, 2006 10:07:41 PM    View the profile of Cosmic 
I'm really wanting to see Man of the Year (Robin Williams): Man of the Year trailer. Seems like a good flick. Next up would be Transformers (high hopes for this, but we'll see).

In line!

1. Man of the Year
2. Transformers
3. Crank
4. The Guardian
5. Gridiron
6. Spiderman 3

The first time I saw the trailer for Spiderman 3 I freaked, was better than the movie I saw (Talladega nights).

I`m not really much of a movie person....Heck, I havn`t gone to a movie since last summer (I think) and that was SW Ep. 3 or Mr. and Mrs. Smith..I don`t remember...I saw them consecutive weekends but can`t remember which was first.

Since then, nothing in theaters, but one of my friends got me some movie passes for my birthday so maybe i`ll use those...go see something...

Aye Venom, I was a bit shocked to find he was going to be played by Topher Grace though. As far as I remember Eddie Brock (Venom for the unenlightened) was always a pretty big guy. Minor detail of course.

Well, I suppose they were going more for Spider Man's alter ego than they were going for what the comic books were made out to be. I didn't think Tobey McGuire was buff enough for the part of Spider Man, but they pulled it off.


Oh! I almost forgot about Beerfest. Goin' to see that this weekend, looks hilarious.

Beerfest looked like a waste of money to me. I'll just stay at home and watch Moulin Rouge.

I assume you didn't like Super Troopers either.

But Moulin ROuge is a tempting offer.

"Beerfest" looks pretty funny, It'd probably be funnier if I could drink.  "Crank" looks pretty good, along with "The Protector" and "Fearless."  "The Covenant" could possibly be the corniest movie I've ever heard of.  "Transformers" was a great show, but the movie is going to suck.  There are some things that shouldn't be live action, and "Transformers" is one of those.

How about this:


"Snakes on a Plane 2: Samuel's got LIGHTSABERS!"
(and yes that is the best subtitle i could come up with.)

-----------------------
There is nothing wrong with fear.
You need never be ashamed of it, as long as it dosen't stop you functioning.
Fear is your natural warning system; it keeps you alive so that you can can fight.
Show me a man who isn't afraid, and i'll show you a fool who is a danger to his entire ship.

You, sir, have zero appreciation for low-brow humor.

As for upcoming movies, there's a lot of stuff I'll probably go watch, but nothing I'd necessarily say I'm "looking forward to."  That's like implying I'm looking forward to a car wreck.

I don't really look forward to movies anymore. I don't know, but I just feel that Hollywood today just churns out the same cliche canned shit over and over again. Jewels do come along once a while, but they're getting rarer by the day.

Sure, I do enjoy the movie outings once a while. Just sit and watch the screen, be mindlessly entertained for a couple of hours. Very rarely though does a movie really strike a real cord with me and leave a lasting impression. Movies such as The Matrix and the more recent Star Wars Episodes can keep you occupied, but they don't really stamp their mark on you.The Golden Age where timeless masterpieces such as The Godfather, Stars War the Original and Apocalypse Now had sprung from has faded.

If any of you know of such upcoming movies that are expected to be at least within sight of the calibre of such movies, hey, give me a PM or something.

They're making a new 007 film, WITHOUT PIERCE BROSNAN!

This guy's supposed to look alot more like Sean Connery. It's called Casino Royale, fyi.

that guy is not the right James Bond, he muscular, I dont think any of the other JBs were, Brosnan had a slight pot, and Sean Connery wasnt muscular (that I remember) JB is supposed to look like a fairly ordinary guy not some blonde Nazi looking sculpture.

A bit late, but my response

Different actors. That wouldn't be right. Halo is CG, it should stay that way.

Advent Children is from a game. Should they have made that in Live action? No.

Halo movie would be so beautiful in CG. In Live action, it just isnt as appealing to me to go see.

Different actors means they wont sound or look the same. That's wrong.

Yeah. It's sad.

Directors of the past used to want to tell a real story. You could see that in the work of my favourite director, Francis Ford Coppolla.

Neither can you see actors these day that are as talented as Marlon Brando, one of the few good men to come out of Hollywood. Now we just have pretty-boys like Orlando Bloom running around. Most of them are concerned with getting those stars on Vine Street and appealing to hormone-high teenagers than they are with fine acting.

Nowadays the priority is to net in the masses, especially the younger audiences. I'm sliding more and more towards European-made movies, be it Spanish, French or whatever. Some of that work is truly beautifully artistic, with more emphasis on storyline and good acting than on flashy special effects. They are not yet tainted wholly by Hollywood, for now.
