There is pretty much nothing on that list (all supposably genre) that potentially excites me beyond Red. I'm interested in Red Dawn and will see the Harry Potter movie, but not excited.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
Not Never Let Me Go or Monsters? I also want to see the new version of Let The Right One In.

Maybe I need to watch more trailers. But none of the synopses grab me (I'm not going to get suckered in by the emotion behind the synopses because, hello, they loved Scott Pilgrim).
I didn't like the original Let The Right One In. I'm curious to see if the remake fixes stuff (like, say, makes her a convincing vampire and stuff), but I don't feel like going to the theatre to find out.

I'm a fairly easy mark when it comes to certain plots. And I still haven't seen the original Let the Right One In, but I get impatient with subtitles.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A lot of good stuff in there. I had no idea Red Dawn might not come out, though, due to MGM's bankruptcy. I want my Jeffrey Dean Morgan, damn it!
I'm more aggrieved that the MGM bankruptcy is preventing a new James Bond movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They should do a Bond movie where all his gadgets get taken away one by one by repo men....

Casino Royale hardly has any gadgets at all. Daniel Craig plowing through walls was their only gimmick.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
it was a good gimmick, mind you. but not quite as enjoyable the 2nd time around.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The improv troupe I crewed for in college did a sketch based on this - due to budget cuts, Bond's British accent was revoked so the team all chipped in to buy him a Creole one instead. The only gadget they could afford for him was a laser pointer, and the villain's dastardly weapon was secondhand smoke.

Heh - that sounds like fun.
