FINALLY! I've been waiting for this movie to come out for YEARS!

It's going to be awesome. From the Writer/Director of Donnie Darko.

No Donnie Darko fans around here eh?

That's sad.

and i am a fan of donnie darko
i actually read an interview with the dude about this movie but given my comps a POS and tends to hate me (ie. it needs more RAM and complains and doesnt work properly at times), i dont have the patience to go see/attempt to see the trailer for the movie.. i will however see the movie when the chance arises :nod:

The sort of... uber-hollywood throws me off a bit. But I'll still see it as soon as it comes out anyways. :P

I Am Legend looks good.
I'm not sure about The Mist. That one looks like it might be a little too scary for me. I'm a wuss.

I also really want to see No Country for Old Men - but I want to read the book first. I've been told Cormac McCarthy is a really good writer. I've been wanting to read it since it came out in 2005, but I never got around to it.

They're really stretching for material with all the books they keep turning into movies. Sometimes it's a cool thing to see books turned into something so visually stunning, but sometimes it's just a tragedy (i.e. Beowulf, King Arthur, Troy, etc.).

The Troy Director's cut is supposed to be kick ass compared to the original which was pretty good as a standalone movie.

No Country for Old Men was the best movie I saw all year. So far, anyway. I have high hopes for Southland Tales, too, though it seems like every reviewer who sees it hates it...

No Country for Old Men is getting rave reviews. I just saw that Horton Hears a Who is going to be a movie.

Of course it's great and getting amazing reviews. I haven't seen it yet, but It's a Coen brothers movie! It's pretty much impossible for them to make a bad movie. Just look at the library of films they've done.

True... but the pre-release screening here did not go over well.
Its a pretty limited audience that would appreciate it, I think.

Then the people who saw it are probably bigger fans of movies like Fred Claus, Bee Movie and Hitman. Seems closer to their intelligence level.

how about lars and the real girl?

I'd say that audience would appreciate it.

:(. i didn't like it. found it boring. well, it started off promising, but it just didn't hold my attention very well. the boredom took over pretty quickly.

i also don't have a low intelligence level.

It was probably one of the best movies of the year. The end dragged quite a bit, but it was to keep it the same of the book, which I didn't like, but overall the little details, the realism and how creepy the killer is works incredibly well.
