Author Topic: 2009 - Anything Exciting Coming Out? Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 02-01-2009 08:55 AM                        Watchmen - I'm curious. I read the book last summer, but I appreciated it more than I enjoyed it. Star Trek - Meh. I like the idea of a reboot here, but this looks too 90210 to me. Harry Potter - I never got into HP myself, but I understand the popularity. G.I.Joe - Meh. "From the director of The Mummy!" Ooooh -scary Cobra! Transformers 2 - Didn't even bother with the first one. Terminator 4 - The first film is in my top 5... But my confidence is very low in McG. (I'm more excited to see T2 at a flashback this month!) (I'm sure many of these will do well... They just don't do anything for me.) Three that I AM excited about: The Road Up (the trailer doesn't excite me much, but I will be there on day 1 because of Pixar's track record) Avatar Am I overlooking anything?  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 02-01-2009 10:26 AM                     quote: Geoff Jones Transformers 2 - Didn't even bother with the first one. You should "bother" with it. It's quite good.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-01-2009 10:48 AM                       quote: Geoff Jones Up (the trailer doesn't excite me much Not me.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-01-2009 01:10 PM                     Now THAT'S funny! quote: Geoff Jones Three that I AM excited about: The Road You're excited about a movie based on one of the most incredibly and suicidally depressing novels of the last five years? Well, OK, but you might not want to bring a date . . . I'd be exited about Watchmen, but two hours and forty minutes of philosophsing super heroes sounds a bit tedious. I guess that leaves Up! and Avatar for me, and possibly The Wolfman, Toy Story 3-D and the Pelham 1-2-3 remake  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 02-01-2009 02:01 PM                        I was looking over the summer release schedule the other day, and aside from a handful of potential blockbusters, it looks like the weakest summer line up in years. May should be a pretty busy month and July should be very busy. But June looks pretty weak and August looks like a graveyard.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-01-2009 04:34 PM                     quote: 2009 - Anything Exciting Coming Out?

Yeah I'm there for it, its to bad its being released on the 1st of July. Bad release date. I agree with Chris, Transformers was a good movie. Just watched the Super Bowl spot for the new one and it looks bigger and better then the first.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-01-2009 04:56 PM                     For me, AVATAR, STAR TREK, and INGLORIOUS BASTERDS are the big ones. As far as other movies are concerned, I'm really excited about FANBOYS. William Shatner plays himself. 'Nuff said. Steven Soderbergh potentially has three movies coming out this year. THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, THE INFORMANT, and maybe his Spalding Gray documentary. Each of those sound very interesting. Then there's new movies from the Coen Brothers, Robert Rodriguez, and Antoine Fuqua. I don't know anything about them, but I'll see anything those guys do.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

I'm very excited about that. I assume there will be 2D showings also... can anyone confirm? I'm also (honestly) excited about Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt. Who's going to put the whole title up on the marquee?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-22-2009 08:34 PM                        Wow, that title is even too long for our marquee! I'm severely disappointed in the teaser one-sheets for the new Harry Potter film....they've jumped on the abbreviated-title bandwagon, putting "HP6" on the poster. I also nominate "Inglorious Basterds" as the title that will be misspelled the most on marquees this year.  |  IP: Logged Sally Ann Burgess Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Queenstown, New Zealand Registered: Apr 2008 posted 03-22-2009 10:43 PM                     I'm mildly excited to see Terminator 4, but Bruno for me is the must-see this year. Actually, I would trade T4 for just 20 mins of Bruno.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-22-2009 11:46 PM                     I saw a trailer for Public Enemies a week ago, and wow you can totally tell it was shot on video. It just didn't look right to me.  |  IP: Logged Peter Castle Expert Film Handler Posts: 220 From: Wollongong University, NSW ,Australia Registered: Oct 2003 posted 03-23-2009 01:49 AM                     quote: Mike Blakesley I also nominate "Inglorious Basterds" as the title that will be misspelled the most on marquees this year.
