Anyway, some upcoming movies I'm looking forward to.

Alice in Wonderland: Directed by Tim Burton - I can't imagine this not working, who could possibly be more appropriate for this than Burton?

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: Directed by Terry Gilliam - While Gilliam hasn't done a better than average film since 12 Monkeys, I have high hopes for this one, especially since it's Ledgers last film.

Last Days of Coney Island: Directed by Ralpth Bakshi - I'm a big Bakshi fan, and I was quite excited to learn he's working on his first film in nearly 20 years.

Where the Wild Things Are: Directed by Spike Jonze - Only 2 films in 10 years, Jonze really takes his freaking time.

Akira - The live action version. I think Leonardo DiCaprio is gonna play Kaneda and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is gonna be Tetsuo. Yeah I know, this is probably gonna suck, but I'm too damn curious.

Burton's been using little color lately though, and Alice in Wonderland is a very colorful movie.

call me what you will but all I really want to see at the moment is the Transformers sequel. I massively enjoyed the first one when I finally saw it, the best kind of popcorn movie, no hokey 'characterisation' and just plenty of nutty mythology and cracking FX.

The IMDB trailer whet my appetite, the robots are BIGGER. And yes, they are beating the sh*t out of eachother

Transformers 2.

Yeah man who needs characterization? Only the worst movies like evar.

well when you go to see a movie on the pretext that it's about giant talking robots and it's direct by Michael Bay you don't expect much of it really. And what there was i thought was handled with some good laughs, Shia LeBeouf playing the classic neurotic Jewish kid-turned-hero.

The point is the movie served it's purpose, it allowed me to stuff my face with take-away and forget everything for a couple of hours; it was pure junk-indulgence and I didn't have to cringe at any ham-fisted attempts by the producers to make it relevant or deep. see: Pearl Harbour (an action movie posing as a historical drama)

edit: AND it had John Turturro in it. What more do you need?

Yeah I'm just teasin ya. But I liked it too, I won't admit that often though. It was fun.
