I just can’t wait to see Shallow Hal!!! Woohoo!! :rolleyes:
[sup]OK, so I’m a really rotten liar…[/sup]
John Woo is rumored to be in the beginning stages of a serious adaptation of the original comic book series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, back when it was a serious takeoff on the Daredevil series, rather than a surfer-dude “cowabunga” pizza-eating saturday morning kids’ cartoon show.
This will most likely rock.
Oh, and The Tick. Might be fun.
Ditto.
What, am I the only person who really really really really really really really really really wants to see Monsters, Inc.? :eek:
Oh, and Spider-Man, too, but that’s next year.
I want to see Monsters, Inc too. You are not alone.
Star Wars… LOTR… Harry Potter… Star Trek. :sigh:
Anybody remember a glorious time and age when movies were made for adults, with mature sentiments? Anybody remember a time when character development was more important than F/X? Anybody remember when plots were unpredictable, when, occassionally, the bad guy won because, occassionally, bad guys actually win? Anybody remember Chinatown? The Godfather? Taxi Driver? Raging Bull? The Last Picture Show?
:sigh:
(So I’m continuing my earlier post.)
God, I hate George Lucas. The man just killed cinema.
Put me down as well for LoTR.
I just hope they do it justice.
Sprockets!
Are they ever gonna get this one “in the can”?
I’ve only been holding the stock at hsx.com for like, a year! C’mon Mike Myers, you’re making me look bad!
Hey, did you guys read this thread before you posted or what?! I had you beat by 11 posts, rjung.
I’m still looking forward to The Planet of the Apes (as retold by Tim Burton).
Now why didn’t my thread generate this much interest?
:rolleyes:
How many of those movies had the hype and publicity machine rolling months/years before their release? And a quick search could yield dozens of threads by dopers who are excited about these “non-serious” movies you degrade, but are extremely disappointed when they DON’T have the character development. In fact, if you look at many of the LOTR posts, there is a fear that there won’t be the desired development. Just because we’re attracted by a shiny 3-color cover, doesn’t mean we’re not excited about what’s inside it.
I am looking forward to the local release of Monty Python’s “Holy Grail”.
Ditto on the LOTR.
O
Vidi Vici Veni!
Oops. What did I do wrong in the HTML?
O
I’m not sure about the others, but The Godfather sure did. No one could stop wondering about what Marlon Brando was going to look like as Don Corleone; what kind of make-up he was going to have on, etc. Plus, there was the hype surrounding Al Pacino, whom many didn’t want in the picture. There was the hype about filming on location. Oh, there was plenty of useless hype surrounding this movie.
bean: Yeah, I was going to single Godfather out as an exception, but I was afraid I was confusing the hype for Godfather II. You are correct, however.

Don’t forget your quotes, or it won’t work.
I read something on one of those damm news tickers (Damm em!) This was about 6 months or more ago and it was along the lines of “The McKenzie brothers are starting production of a sequel to their movie Strange Brew, it might be titled Home Brew” If this comes out I will be first in line. If the news ticker was wrong (Damm em!) I might cry.
It would appear that Mike Meyers has too much class to do this one. I had my doubts about The Spy Who Shagged Me, but it wasn’t too bad. Corona says this one is dead. Thank God.
Must have missed it behind the crowd of folks lining up for Star Wars Episode 2. 
In any event, if Monsters Inc. is even half as good as Toy Story or Toy Story 2, it’ll be a winner.
