when are the decent movies coming out...

[big screen satellite]

some new and inventive movies must be coming soon...

Avatar is a must (but thats ages away), but what else is coming to get us excited???

maybe Up (not yet out here)

and Sherlock Holmes

possibly Alice in Wonderland

i suppose summer blockbuster season is not a time to expect decent exciting 'new' idea movies to be released

i'm certainly not excited about the recent 'comic' / 'action figure' movies being released at the mo...

- Tarantino's new one (out this week)

- Spike Jonze adaptation of the childrens book classic

- Peter Jackson produced alien flick that looks like it could be ace

- the new Pixar movie

- animated film directed by Shane Acker & produced by Tim Burton

[Troy McClure]

I really loved 'Up'. I waited too long to see it in 3-D. Ed Asner was a great choice for the old man.

these mainly. which is more movies than i've wanted to see in theatres for a long time.

also GI Joe with a group of friends on the last showing because no one will be there and we can heckle it all we want

Given Tim Burton's track record, I wouldn't count on much. I'm sure it'll be visually stunning, but as far as I've been hearing, it's typical Tim Burton crap story-telling.

so I had this theory a while back during the writers' strike:

that b/c of the time spent 'away' many movies / programs that come out in the year or two following it (more often than not) will be total crap

I'm thinking we're in that period now.

Sure hope the movie's better than the trailer, because that trailer looks pretty super-lame.

I dont know what movies you are going to, as this seems to be the best summer for movies in ages.

District 9
Inglorious Basterds
500 Days of Summer
Brothers Bloom
The Hangover

Give me one year in the past twenty that had 5 four star movies released between memorial day and labor day.

At first I was a bit turned off with the idea, but this looks promising.

Also, Cusack's in it which I'm more than certain makes it a sure win.

BTW if it ends up completely sucking, I hated Independence Day & The Day After Tomorrow(or whatever the hell it was titled), it'll be a first for Cusack.
