Thanks for the list! I'm looking foreward The Night Listener (more out of curiosity than anything) and Snakes on a Plane. The last one is just because it looks soooo bad. I suspect that it's going to do very well in the Box Office. When I saw "Clerks 2" people were cheering when it's trailer came up.

Other than that.... I'm not too excited for any of these really.

I am looking forward to the Night Listener as well. I was just having a discussion with my husband last night about how Robin Williams has morphed as an actor, and become quite a good "thriller" actor as well. I fell in love with his comedy, but then I fell in love with him again in "One-Hour Photo", and one of my favorites "The Final Cut" I am less into his dramatic roles though, ie. "What Dreams May Come"

Snakes on a Plane will be great, campy fun. I'm really looking forward to it more than any other movie this summer (well...now that Clerks II is out already). Sam Jackson's a bad motherfucker anyway. I know, because his wallet says so.

but I'll be honest friends, I'm sick and tired of computer animated movies.

Iawtc. Seriously.

Zoom and Step Up I am definitely going to avoid. They both look well stupid.

The Descent I may rent out as well, but that's it. I don't know what to think of it honestly. Pulse the same, but you can be sure I'll rent them out anyway. Maybe Accepted too, just because it looks like it might actually be funny or at has an interesting plot nonetheless.

Okay, time to demonstrate my ignorance. :D "Iawtc"?

dragoncrab88 July 31 2006, 19:38:34 UTC

Iawtc: I agree with that completely. :)

Ah -- thanks. :D

Of those, I kinda want to see Taladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby. If you aren't much of a Ferrel fan, well, that makes two of us, but a send-up of NASCAR just has too much potential for me to miss.

The one I'm really looking forward to is Idlewild. A musical from the men of Outkast? I'm there.

I'm not a NASCAR fan either, I'm afraid.

Or an Outkast fan.

Yeah, I'm sitting out a lot of movies. :D

I'm not a NASCAR fan either.

I just know too many people who are. That's why I can't miss a NASCAR spoof. :p
