I'm new here, so perhaps this topic has been discussed before, but I was just wondering what movies people were looking forward to most in 2006.

For me:
V for Vendetta - http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/v_for_vendetta/hd/
and Brick - http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/brick/hd
and Special - http://www.specialthemovie.com/trailer_large.html

Watch the Special trailer, it's very much worth it.

nacho libre looks pretty badass

V for vendetta is gonna suck complete ass

The ballad of Ricky Bobby
and
The Fountain

Looking forward to Silent Hill the most. But also The Fountain, Zodiac, Thank You For Smoking, Fay Grim, A Scanner Darkly...

There Will Be Blood. (MFin' PT is overdue.)

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny
Inside Man (Spike Lee joint with Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, and Clive Owen)
Nacho Libre
Cars (Pixar)
Superman Returns
Strangers With Candy (assuming it actually gets released)
A Scanner Darkly
Talladega Nights
Clerks II
Jackass the Movie 2
For Your Consideration (Christopher Guest mockumentarie)
and of course, Snakes on a Motherfuckin' Plane

Something is very wrong with this thread...



Okay, there, I fixed the problem.

Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/x3/large.html
I get the most insane chills watching that. I cannot cannot cannot wait for this movie.

I'll probably see all of these at some point, but there's not one single title here that inspires confidence. Hopefully there will be one or two surprise standouts in here.

Actually, I've been following the production of this movie since the start. And although I really want it to be great....it looks like it's going to be an absolute catastrophe. It's had script/director/actor/design/everything problems from it's very beginning. Now, while that doesn't guarantee a bad film, it's certainly not a good sign.

Wasn't Punch Drunk his last film- in, what, 2002? This is gonna be good.

there are gonna be more movies released this year?! sweet!

Totally forgot this was coming out, but it looks really awesome. I'll see it probably opening day.


I read it was for sure getting released. Definitely want to see it, as well.


Sounds ok to me....probab.y a rental, though.


Has this been confirmed yet? Last I heard it was only in discussions.


Oh wow a Chris Guest movie, that should be awesome! Very pumped for this!


YES!!!!YES!!!!YES!!!!

Oh yeah, and after going to the Fangoria movie weekend at OHare this weekend, I am pumped for these as well...




And of course I am super super pumped for You're Going To Prison, which should be coming out this fall I hear.

a friend of mine went to nyc to see this last week. she won a contest or was chosen from a board, something. anyway, this is her very vague description of the movie:

One. Trick. Pony.

20 films that better not all be shit.

* The Proposition
* V For Vendetta
* Tsotsi
* Paradise Now
* Glastonbury
* Confetti
* The Moguls
* The Da Vinci Code
* Things To Do Before You're 30
* Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
* Cars
* Monster House
* Sin City 2
* The Visiting
* The Black Dahlia
* The Eye
* The Assassination Of Jesse James
* Flushed Away
* Casino Royale

This is going to be horrendous. Between Hanks mullet and the idea that he's going to get his grubby gumps all over Amelie, I can't expect this to be tolerable.

I'd rather it was laughingly awful then being OK to be honest.

Terry Zwigoff's Art School Confidential
trailer looks, meh

Richard Kelly's Southland Tales
Donnie Darko director's sophomore effort

Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain

oh yeah and a couple from music video directors
Michel Gondry's Master of Space and Time
Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris' Little Miss Sunshine

I guess (if they're all due this year):

Jackass 2
X-Men III
Superman Returns
Clerks 2
Sin City 2
Casino Royale
that new movie by Hustle & Flow's director Craig Brewer
and that Scorsese flick with Damon/DiCaprio and someone else...

I haven't seen or read much about what's due this year, however.

Oh yeah the Scorsese remake of Infernal Affairs.

... and Running with Scissors

The Devil and Daniel Johnston looks really cool.

Movie I would most like to see at the Coldwater Drive-In Theater: Night Watch

I know I'll be in the minority on this one, but I'm very interested in seeing Apocalypto.

Other upcoming movies I haven't seen listed so far:
Charlie Wilson's War (might be 2007)
Flags Of Our Fathers
The Notorious Bettie Page
Paper Man
Evan Almighty
Rambo 4 (the unintentional comedy factor will be off the charts)
Amarillo Slim


Is it just me or is there ZERO buzz about the Libertine, which comes out in five days? For a movie with a huge star like Depp and a nearly NC-17 rating, you'd think you'd hear something.

That trailer for Special was off the fucking hook. Looks like a Kaufmann screenplay. Speaking of old Charlie, what is he working on now?

Oh god I can't wait for "There Will Be Blood/Oil" from mr. Anderson. I'm kinda scared though cause it is an adaptation from a previous writting. I've never read the original text but Magnolia and Boogie Nights are two of my favorite movies of all time and I dont know what to expect. PDL was damn good too but not to the caliber of those. We'll see

I'm waiting for Marie-Antoinette too, the trailor is kinda eh but her past two movies were damn fine pictures.

I haven't been into the movie scene latly, kinda got side tracked.

marie-antoinette does look like it could be promising.

i'm geeked about seeing V for Vendetta, might go check it out at the IMAX. remember remember the 5th of november

and X-men 3 i'm pretty excited for.

also will ferrell's "Stranger Than Fiction" -- An IRS auditor suddenly finds himself the subject of narration only he can hear: narration that begins to affect his entire life, from his work, to his love-interest, to his death.

Only one thing matters to me this year:

Out this summer. Something Blue

I saw the trailer for this over the winter, and haven't heard a word on it since. It looks like a geniusly funny idea, but if there's this much holdup, it will probably be a dud.

Adam Sandler in Click (imdb.com gives link to trailer)

He was pushing it hard last week on the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards.

for the last two years, i've gotten together with a friend of mine from detroit, drank, and went to a shit movie. two years ago, it was "garfield" followed by a wilco show. last year it was "herbie: fully loaded" prior to a trip to a strip club (we went at 11.30am and found a theater that served beer! delicious!).

this year...

GARFIELD 2: A TALE OF TWO KITTIES!

you see, jon (breckin meyer) goes to london and odie and garfield follow. naturally, garfield gets mistaken for a rich cat that is set to inherit a castle or something. here's who's on board for this 90-minute turd:

-the chick who played the secretary in the uk version of "the office"
-ian abercrombie (mr. pitt from seinfeld)
-tim curry (i hope he plays a gay person!)
-bill murray as the voice of garfield (again!)
-jennifer love hewitt (again!)

i guess JLH isn't featured as promintely in this one since she was doing that "ghost whisperer" show on CBS. still, though, i'm looking forward to june 23rd when GARFIELD 2 hits theaters. and then i'll go to a strip club.

I really want to see Superman fail. I've never like Superman, even as a Kid. His costume sucks, his powers are boring...just never did it for me.

So Murray still likes money--and JLH stays off the pole for another six months.

yeah, pretty much. i'm hoping for that reported playboy issue to come out and coinside with the release of "garfield 2." the whole pictorial would be based around nude JLH and garfield. like having JLH eat a lot of lasagna (and get it on her tits), have JLH hate mondays (and not get out of bed...'cuz she's naked) and have JLH kick a dog that looks like odie off a table (with heels. oh, and she'd be naked, too).

Well now we know what film Bhickman is getting wood for.

Does Wolverine ever kill someone with those claws or are they just for bad-ass effect?



Supermetrosexual?






Even though Cruise is a douchebag and an unbelievably mediocre actor, I'm looking forward to MI3 for only one reason:

I understand that he does the Capote voice the whole movie, so Cruise has no choice but to kill him. It's getting standing ovations.

Not really excited about the movie, and I never understood the BP craze and/or rediscovery, but holy hell has Gretchen Mol disappeared into this role:

^ This movie looks like it will absolutely kick ass, which is a good thing, because im a huge SH fan. The character design looks gloriously disturbing, just like it should. Check out the rest of the character posters here.
