Work is never a picnic, that’s why they call it work.
Fortunately for me I have an active fantasy life, one in which Jenn and I actually see first-run movies in theaters. With popcorn. Lots and lots of tubs of buttered popcorn.
So in the event I ever see the interior of a theater (or feel it’s welcoming stickiness underneath my feet), here are the previews that have whet (whetted?) my appetite:
No Country For Old Men
Coen Brothers, terrific cast, creepy villain who looks like a genetic splice of Lurch and Dora the Explorer. Sign me up.
There Will Be Blood
P.T. Anderson and Daniel Day Lewis
I Am Legend
Post-apocalyptic Will Smith and Zombies. Sure, “I, Robot” sucked, but maybe if Smith doesn’t have cast-members to mug against, it’ll be OK.
Show me the way to the box office.
I really liked I, Robot. I love science fiction stuff, and thought it was pretty cool.
I want to see I am Legend too; looks appropriately creepy!
I’m with you on wanting to see all of these. Unfortunately, also somewhat like you, I rarely make it to the box office. With that in mind, I’m setting my sites lower. I’m only hoping to see one movie this holiday season. And if I have to narrow the above to one, I’m picking I Am Legend. I’m a comic geek and a sucker for post-apocalyptic films, so it’s a perfect combo. 🙂
Rawksta’r and I routinely go to the movies, usually about twice a week. It’s just our thing.
We’re pumped about I am Legend also. It’s based on the book of the same name and is expressly NOT a remake of Omega Man which was also based on the book.
Apparently, both movies leave out the vampires.
