The continuation of this scene that I'm playing out in my mind right now is probably a lot more interesting than the actual film.DanielPlainview said:9. Fighting (Montiel, April 24th)
Plot: In New York City, a young counterfeiter (Tatum) is introduced to the world of underground street fighting by a seasoned scam artist (Howard), who becomes his manager on the bare-knuckling brawling circuit.
I'm seeing Observe & Report tonight after work. I'll fill ya in on whether or not she gets her jubblies out. I can't wait for State of Play. <3 <3 <3 Russell Crowe.
The Soloist is obviously really bad as there's no reason to push it back from Oscar season otherwise. I did find the 60 Minutes report on the story interesting so I might see it but it's doubtful.

Will see Adventureland (looks funny enough + wife REALLY wants to see it) and Gigantic (because I'm a whore for all things Zooey DeSchanel). Two movies is about the most I ever are in s month, so that's probably it, though I still haven't seen Sunshine Cleaning yet so that may make s third.
Will see Fast and Furious someday, though probably not in theaters.

It is NOT a rip off. Observe and Report was in development way before Paul Blart.

Hell yeah! That song elevates any trailer. Look at Children of Men and Slumdog Millionaire. I've actually never seen Planet Earth, but the film should be a good starting point.

This year is looking to be pretty weak in movies. This summer especially is lacking. There's a nice big flow of movies in May but then the rest of the summer is pretty dead surprisingly.

Marty Chinn said:
I have to agree, to be honest. I'm a little disappointed in the upcoming slate, though there are plenty of movies I don't know about.
May has Terminator, Star Trek, and Up, which all look awesome.
June has Transformers 2, but not until the end. Land of the Lost could go either way.
July has Bruno, which I can't wait for. And Funny People should be good.
August has Inglorious Basterds.
Kind of tame, not terrible though I guess.
This month looks atrocious. I'll consider Observe and Report if I'm particularly bored, but I wouldn't even be interested in renting 95% of the rest.
I might go see Sleep Dealer though.

No. I've been a lover of Sigur Ros for ages, but their use in the Children of Men trailer was awful and misguided. It was way off the mark tonally.DanielPlainview said:

GAAAAAAAAY
Your list is shit. Have you even seen the trailers for your #9 and #10? In fact, one of the best trailers this month belongs to 17 Again, but I guess the superficial connection of High School Musical Kid is enough to instantly turn off any movie blog guy worth his salt in movie blogness.
17 Again will be one of the best comedies of the year, mark my words.

Never seen High School Musical, but it was actually the awful trailer that turned me off of this movie. I loved Efron in Hairspray, I have nothing against him. This just looks awful. Wish he could have made a different film, but I guess he is just stuck to this boring ABC Family-style shit.

I actually thought the premise sounded interesting. (a bit of a rip-off of Freaky Friday but still.)Ford Prefect said:
But I am extremely skeptical seeing as it stars Zac Efron.

Relax there, cowboy.
I made a whole thread where I expected nothing but people shitting on #10, but most people seemed to want to see it.
Solo said:
She's still a beautiful girl. I saw some pictures of her recently. Looks great.
And nothing wrong with a flat girl getting breast implants as long as she doesn't go too big, which sadly, many girls do. Doesn't seem like she did though.

Can't wait to see it. It's sitting at 100% on RT now. Did you like Half Nelson?
Well except for the whole idiotic notion that being "flat" is somehow a bad thing. Certainly societal pressures don't play this at all.omg rite said:
Anyway, this list of movies is hot garbage. Observe & Report upsets me since the whole thing is set in motion by LUL A FLASHER LUL. I might get next to blackout drunk and go to Crank 2. But really, that's all I am gonna bother commenting on. Jpraup has already been rode on enough in this thread.

Shrug, I look at the summer listing and this is what's on my radar as what I'll probably go see:
2009
May
Wolverine
Star Trek
Terminator Salvation
Up
June
Transformers
July
Harry Potter
August
GI Joe
Maybes
Angel & Demons
Public Enemies
That's compared this in 2008:
May
Iron Man
Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian
Indiana Jones
June
The Incredible Hulk
Wall-E
Wanted
July
Hancock
Hellboy 2
The Dark Knight
The X-Files
August
The Mummy
Pineapple Express
Tropic Thunder
Or in 2007
May
Spider-Man 3
28 Weeks Later
Shrek the Third
Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End
June
Knocked Up
Ocean's Thirteen
Live Free or Die Hard
Ratatouille
July
Transformers
Harry Potter
The Simpsons
August
The Bourne Ultimatum
Stardust
Superbad
Now I'm not saying that all those movies are good, but there was at least something of interest quite often. I practically had a movie a week to check out during summers of 2007 and 2008. This year it looks like May is booked and then I've got about one movie a month for the next three months. I'm sure new movies will hit my radar as they get closer to release but right now, it's looking empty to me.
2007
May - 4
June - 4
July - 3
August - 3
Total = 14
2008
May - 3
June - 3
July - 4
August - 3
Total = 13
2009
May - 4
June - 1
July - 1
August - 1
Maybes - 2
Total = 7 - 9
That's why this summer seems dead compared to the last few years to me.

You realize Observe and Report is a comedy right?Lambtron said:

I never said it was a bad thing. So relax.
But, shockingly, some women who are flat don't like being flat. If they have the money, who cares what they do with their body? As long as the girl isn't going overboard (i.e. A to a D, or getting surgery all over her body multiple times), if she wants implants, who cares?
I'm one of the people who could care less if a women has fake or real boobs, as long as the fake ones aren't fucked up. Sadly, a lot of women do that. Anna Faris, based on some pictures, didn't seem to have gone up that much higher.
Wow, you're pretty much the least fun person ever.
sigh.. I don't know why I come into these threads of yours... in my eyes your taste is utterly horrible. I suppose mainly for the 10 movies I should stay away from and the 5 movies I should see... simply unbelievable... still, decent quality I guess (even if I couldn't possibly agree less)

It's my understanding that it's a truncated version of Planet Earth with new narration. So if you own it already, you already own the super deluxe extended cut.
Yeah, even though you are trying to explain yourself here, you're basically just showing exactly why I said anything at all. Your ideas on this aren't surprising given your (im)maturity level.omg rite said:
In a vacuum, cosmetic plastic surgery (I'm excepting like, plastic surgery that's required because of an accident or for, say, a woman who had a mastectomy) might be okay. But in our culture that uses airbrushed, unrealistic photos as a baseline for an unobtainable beauty standard I don't think its okay. Most of these doctors are preying on people with low self esteem who have self image issues. Or people in the public eye (e.g., celebrities) who don't fit what the Maxims and Cosmos of the world refer to as "beautiful." And it's pretty hard to just accept it as a neutral decision because of all this pressure that exists in society.
You're right, though, that if they want to do it they're more entitled. What you are absolutely wrong on, though, is that their entitlement of surgery should in any way be affected by what image of a woman you want to tug on your hog to. Maybe she wants "fucked up" fake tits. Maybe she wants saline boobs as big as her head. Maybe that doesn't get your rocks off, but that's irrelevant.
There's such an entitled fucking idea amongst the public that these people are here for us to ogle. We dissect every outfit they wear and judge them on how they go out of the house. And shit, I don't just mean celebrities. Everyone is going to look different, and maybe instead of discussing whether or not the current celebrity of the moment's boob job makes our dicks hard, maybe we should fucking just come to terms with the fact that people are different and that's okay.
Well if sexual assault luls is the baseline for "fun," then I guess I'm not fun.

Won't stop picking the right nation
It doesn't seem like a spectacular month to me on the surface, but there could be a few surprises on that list. I really enjoyed the Observe and Report commercials (it looks like the better mall cop movie of the year). State of Play and The Soloist have me interested because of the directors (I'm actually watching The Last King of Scotland right now). This is the first time I've heard of Sugar, but I'm a sucker for sentimental baseball movies.

Lambtron said:
That would make sense if I were immature, rather than having an opinion that differs from your own (and might I add, close minded) opinion.
Get off your high horse.
Actually, that's correct. They ARE here for us to ogle.
The simple fact of the matter is that that is part of being a celebrity. That is part of the job. They make millions of dollars. So yep, they can deal with being "ogled". It's part of the job.
Don't like heights? Don't be a pilot. Don't want the public eye to ogle your every move? Don't be a celebrity. When these people decide to put themselves in the public eye, they are making a decision to be ogled.
Is it RIGHT? Of course not. But that's how it is.
Are you kidding me? :lol
You don't care about Observe and Report because it has someone flashing in the beginning, because that is sexual assault?
Lighten up.
No Anna Faris boobs in O&R although she does get boned multiple times and she's in a bra. There is one scene with 2 naked chicks....... but other than that, there is an INTENSE amount of penis.
Great movie -- it's not a straight up comedy though by any means, so don't get in expecting that or you'll be disappointed. Aziz's limited role in it is awesome -- same with Danny McBride.
