Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

HG is the #1 anticipated movie for 2012.
By who? 'Cause... there's the thing where IMAX theaters are already sold out for the premiere of Dark Knight Rises.

Non-franchise? Non-established-franchise? I think Hobbit, DKR, and Avengers have a whole lot of rabid ticket-buyers.
Wait--I can buy the Dark Knight Verbs tickets already? I am out of loop, fuckit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett's already on me to buy tickets for the first night.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Strega,
apparently this is a national poll. All I know is that Dark Knight is my #1 anticipated. I want to see HG, but damn, I WANT to seek DKR

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ah... tracing things back, it looks like it was "most anticipated" in an online poll at Nextmovie.com. With Twilight second, and Avengers/DKR/Hobbit combined getting less than 5% of votes.

How badly do you want them? [link]

Ha, they can kiss my ass. I am crazy, but I'd like to think I'm not stupid.

Well, my AMC doesn't seem to be selling tickets in advance for the 20th of July. But I'd better keep an eye on that...

Hey. New board.
Hunger Games is going to get a lot more of the 12 and 13-year-old girl market, based on my interactions with my students. And that's a much bigger market than you might think, as the Twilight movies certainly make clear.
I personally am anticipating it more than DKR and the Avengers, though I anticipate them all joyfully. Frankly, I think that I'm getting a little tired of the comic book movie genre, at least as an idea. Which seems like bad news, considering that I'm obviously smack in the middle of the target demographic. I don't think I'd see Thor, if it came out this year; I liked it a lot, but I don't feel like I'd want to see it this year. I'm mostly excited about the Avengers for Joss, honestly; the buildup has been wearying for me.
And I recently re-watched The Dark Knight (got in on Blu-Ray for $7.99 during that WB sale), and didn't love it as much as I did the first (two) times. It's a good movie, but in hindsight it doesn't feel nearly as mind-blowingly amazing. And it's remarkably low on fun.
The LOTR movies, on the other hand, are still pretty spectacular (except for the annoying Ent and Faramir changes in The Two Towers, which upset me still), and I am newly excited for the Hobbit.
My next movie to re-watch is The Matrix. Don't have it on Blu-Ray, but I watch it as much for the sound as the video, and my system runs just fine on DD 5.1
