Remakes, comic books, or sequels
Every movie coming out for the next three years pretty much falls into one of those categories.
Saw The Fantastic Four last night. Was pretty entertaining but Dr. Doom was kinda lame.
Saw a trailer for The New World. Let me guess: Colin Farrel, while being a total asskicker, is a troubled soul that's desperately searching for meaning/redemption. He somehow comes into contact with a group of noble savages that at first are his enemy but eventually he comes to respect these proud people and they teach him a little bit about life, love, and dancing. Uh-oh, now he's got a choice to make. To go back to his old life or stand with them and fight against his white people who are going to ravage the people/land (as whiteys do).
I liked this movie the first time they made it when it was called The Last Samurai. Wait, no I didn't, that movie sucked ass. OK, Dances with Wolves. No, I hate Kevin Costner. Oh, I got it - The Mission.
Whatever, jerks.
P.S. I consider The New World a remake of all those other ones so my statement still stands.
P.P.S. Note the return of Mr. Wells on the peeps list. Welcome back old man! Good to see you're back.

First off, I said in the NEXT 3 years so Triplets doesn't count.
2nd, to paraphrase you:
"It's called hyperbole you dim bulb."
Seriously Sean?
Let's look at Martin Scorsese and Gangs of NY. Could of been fantastic but it was all hollywooded up with the hooker-with-the-heart-of-gold romance, much more black and white than it should, historical innacuracy, etc.
Just because the guy has done great shit in the past doesn't mean they can't crap up another project.
(Although Day-Lewis made that film worth watching).
Seriously. Scorsese has made plenty of crap over the years -- there's always a chance of his next film sucking. Malick has made 3 movies in 30 years. Each one a beautiful poetic piece of artwork. There's no comparison.
We will see. I'm still predicting hollywood crap but you've given me a sliver of hope.
Is it wrong that the new King Kong looked good to me?
