Man I hope there's a good movie out this summer

[Andrew07]

cause so far all these huge "summer blockbusters" have looked like shit. My girlfriend and I saw "Hot Fuzz" and fucking LOVED it. Saw Spider Man 3 at an imax and were pretty disappointed. I thought Spider Man 2 was very good for a sequel, but the 3rd one tried to play off of it too much.

There seems to be a lot of trilogy movies coming out....but the sequels they're following weren't even that good! I hate that Hollywood is sucking the life out of any moderately good franchise just in an effort to make a buck. I mean what the hell is Bruce Willis doing?! Die Hard 3 kicked ass, why make a 4th? What the fuck?! At least when Arnold Schwarzennegger made that piece of shit Terminator 3 we all knew it was a shameless plug to promote him when he was running for mayor. Ocean's 13, Rush Hour 3, Fantastic Four 2, Spider Man 3, Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3... Granted these movies probably have 13-year-olds pissing themselves silly. I dunno maybe Im at an in between age where the kiddy-action movies annoy me and I'd rather take a shit in my pants than watch The Queen

This is officially the beginning of the end for you Andrew07. Soon, like myself, you'll hate EVERYTHING!

This happens to everyone with a brain eventually.

I realize the movie industry has always been about making money. I don't really have a problem with that. However, I do have a problem when they take absolutely NO chances. There has to be at least some creativity involved.

I didn't realize that we were going to get hit with this many sequels. It doesn't surprise me, but I don't remember a summer being filled with this much sequelized crap.

Ocean's 13, Rush Hour 3, Fantastic Four 2, Spider Man 3, Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3

I have absolutely no interest in seeing ANY of these.

I share your pain. I saw Pirates 3 because someone invited me to go. I thought the first one was alright. I don't even remember the second one. I already forget most of the third one. It was 2 hours and 45 minutes of boredom.

However, I am a big fan of the Bourne Identity movies and this week I saw an ad for The Bourne Ultimatum. I thought the first two movies were really well done, I don't see how the third installment will be any different. This is one trilogy I am excited about.

I just read that Matt Damon (in retard voice) is not doing another Bourne Identity movie. I'm not sure if this means he already did the third and isn't doing another one or if he won't be in the third one at all.

I saw Pirates last night...

I thought it was good if you like lots of visual effects and stuff like that. Plus, Keith Richards has a cameo.

Plus, Keith Richards has a cameo.

Was he a half rotted pirate? If so, it shouldn't count..THAT'S NOT ACTING!!

Does he fall out of a coconut tree?...he he

Saw Shred the 3rd last night with my girlfriend and her little brother. Chuckled for the first hour...sat there staring at the screen for the last half an hour. Definetly lost a lot of the steam and creativity of the first two films. Plenty of fart jokes, though

Yeah, I'm hoping Bourne Ultimatum is cool too.

The Transformer's trailers LOOK very cool, but I have a feeling the plot is gonna sag. I used to love Transformers as a kid though, so just that machine "dun dun dun" sound they make when they transform is enough for me to drag my girlfriend along to see it.

Actually, he was Johnny Depp's father. Apparently, the directr had to hold his legs during the filming because he got really drunk. He plays an old, muddled pirate convincingly (haha).

Plus, he gets to play guitar for about 30 seconds or so.

Speaking of good movies; Star Wars was released 30 years ago this weekend. Giving away my age here, but I went to see it upon release at the local drive-in. That movie is kinda showing it's age with the visuals, but you can't beat a good story.

Saw Shred the 3rd last night

I hope she made it worth your time when you get her home.

Watching Shrek is kind of like being the guy that volunteers to go back into the burning building to save a little kid. The difference is if you actually save the kid in my Shrek analogy, you are a fag. If you die, well...your a fag.

I think it's insulting to kids to hide behind innuendo. I hope when my kids are like 5, I can toss in Goodfellas and say "Look you little shit. See how Joe Pesci shoves that knife into that dude's throat. That's what happens when you disrespect the Mafia" (ever notice that I captilize "Mafia" but not "god"?). Or "Alright you little shit, see here in Casino where Joe Pesci pissed off his Mafia bosses and they are beating him to death with a ball bat? That's how it is!". "Oh yeah, you little shit. Just because Joe Pesci says fuck at least 10 times per minutes doesn't mean you should. Don't say fuck!"

Of course, when I was 5 I thought Commando was the best movie ever made. (I still say it's the best movie ever made with no story line). I just thought all kids were watching movies where the bad guys dies when the musclebound good guy shoves a metal pipe through the bad guy's chest.
