I guess this must be a really off year for me. Cars, Over the Hedge, and the Da Vinci Code did nothing for me.
The only movies coming out this summer I’m interested in is Clerks II and How To Eat Fried Worms. But movies like* Pirates of the Caribbean II? Superman Returns? Snakes on A Plane?* I’m not feeling it.
Steven Soderberg has a movie coming out this year, screenplay by the guy who wrote *Quiz Show * and Donnie Brasco. And Soderbergh already got his artsy fartsy one out of the way with Bubble, so I’m expecting that to be pretty cool.
You and Me & Dupree has a lot of potential, as does Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Lastly, I couldn’t be more psyched for Scorcese’s remake of Infernal Affairs, called The Departed.
Too forward in thinking! I haven’t even really enjoyed this summer yet. And I am looking forward to Pirates…Jack Sparrow. Superman Returns? Not as excited, but sure. And Cars was cute.
I certainly don’t shun those movies, but they’re not the big draw for me either.
I did see X3. But also, the The Break Up. And my short list right now includes Clean and Wordplay. And hopefully Edmond is playing around here – starring William H. Macy, and written by Mamet.
I’m sooOOOoo looking forward to the summer film schedule. This bears unnecessary repeating. I think this year’s crop of summer films look more interesting than this summer past.
Still dreading Transformers. The new trailer and the ass-tastic robot designs aren’t doing it for me. Not to mention the prominent “A Micheal Bay film” tag line. :eek:
There’s no likelihood of the last Harry Potter book (The Deathly Hollows) being out by mid year, even though the publishers are hoping, as Jo has not completed it yet, and no ETA has been revealed. Might be 12 months away, or even longer.
