What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Well, I think it's a pretty obvious question! What films are you seeing?

I hope to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.....I loved the original and want to see if this does any justice! As a mad Harry Potter fan, I will also be seeing Goblet of Fire (if I manage to put down The Half-Blood Prince, that is!) which comes out in late September!

Another one which has caught my eye.....it is a un-named as of yet title, from the producers of Shrek 2 (Dreamworks)....I love those films!

Hmm Star Wars Episode 3 is one, and if it comes out this year, AvP 2.

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
I havnt seen AvP1, but after reading thew scritps.. i dont want too, if they make a sequel, it should take quite a while to make.

I think they rushed AVP, if they make AvP2, FOR GOD SAKES, DONT MAKE IT ON EARTH, I WANT DAMN MARINES NOT Arca-whatever!-OLAGISTS. i dont even know how to spell it!.

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Star Wars Episode III is a must see for me. I would also like to see Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy as well.

Ummmm this sounds rally weird possibly but.. C.S. Lewis The chronicles of Narnia!, that movie should be out soon, its really screwed up though from the original version from what i hear.. leave it to Disney huh?.

<<ULTiMA>> May 1st, 2005 12:40 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
well - Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy - I was hoping it would be good , some of it was quite funny and entertaining , but at the end of the day - they'd given it too much of a childrens theme ,so it was a BIT kid-ish, which really spoilt it.

however Zaphod was really funny.

I loved those books when i was younger!, better than willy wonka isnt it...

greatzombiejesus May 1st, 2005 03:34 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Hitchhikers Guide is really good. Can't wait for episode 3, apart from that i'll be watching Sin City, War of the Worlds, Ong Bak and the Corpse bride...if you liked Nightmare before Christmas you'll most probably like Corpse Bride.

have you read any of Douglas adam's books ?

greatzombiejesus May 1st, 2005 03:56 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Nope, can't say I have. I did watch the tv series and the movie and loved both of them, my mate said i really should read the book as it's slightly different.

Saying that i'm a bit lazy when it comes to reading sometime's.

<<ULTiMA>> May 1st, 2005 04:01 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
ahh - ok ... because everyone who's seen it , but hasnt read the books seems to love it

everyone who HAS read the books seems to hate it!

greatzombiejesus May 1st, 2005 04:15 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Yeah, I know what you mean I remember 'said' friend thought Lord of the Rings was shit Because it wasn't EXACTLY the same as the book...maybe he was putting me down for being an uncultured buffoon.

Ahh he's a tool anyway.

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
I don't really go out and see films...i can wait for the dvd...although if something does capture my eye i will go and see it. Like AvP2...i will definitely go see that!

<<ULTiMA>> May 2nd, 2005 07:10 AM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
hmmm - I thought AvP was given bad critisicm...although I havent seen it....

is the second supposed to be good or something?

Batman Begins that's it... I may watch SW3 as well, just for the hell of it.

-Star Wars Ep 3
Universally positive reviews so far, most saying that it jostles with A New Hope for joint-second best of the franchise (after Empire, natch), and judging from the trailer more lightsaber action than the entire Jedi Knight game series combined. And I do love lightsabers. Oh yes!

-Sin City
I have suspicions about the calibre of pacing and storytelling in this film, but I'm a sucker for directorial panache and this film does look exceptional in this area, so I'll definitely be seeing it.

-The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe (Narnia)
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this movie is messed around with to the extent of the Jurassic Park adaptation, but considering that the book is arguably one of the worst of the series that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. I'm worried though that the heavy influence of US Christian fundamentalism will exaggerate the already unsubtle religious elements of the story, which would have sickening results for anyone outside the Bible Belt.

-War of the Worlds
I wouldn't be a primary-cinema-demographicee if I didn't see this :P. It's a pretty safe bet for whatever studio's behind this. As for the movie itself I don't expect much beyond a bit of enjoyable popcorn, Independence Day style.

-AvP2
Guys... do yourselves a favour and forget about this one :P. Nearly every aspect of the Alien and Predator franchises is stuck in an impenetrable bog of development hell, even the excellent PC game series it would seem. It took about a decade for the AvP movie to get the go-ahead, and considering its lukewarm reception I can only see it happening again for the sequel.

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Would love to see sin city - looks so damn stylish .... grr

Force May 7th, 2005 06:42 AM

I really wanna see War of the worlds and SW ep 3.

dark ghost May 7th, 2005 06:22 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
i forgot about war of the worlds:confused: .... I also want to see War of the Worlds:)

Fortune May 7th, 2005 09:14 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Actualy id also like to see Kingdom of Heavan, at first glance i thought it was some fantasy peice of crap like LOTR, but its based on history... which is a movie i have been wanting for a VERY long time.

Vertigo what are the athiests and non-belivers got to fear of God, in the book its actualy quite "Cammoflodged" so if you werent a Christian you probably wouldnt have noticed if you didnt have a bible on the shelf and read it.

Edit : By the way... umm, least populear, depends on how you look at it,
The lion the witch and the wardrobe started it.

Figure this, Aliens sold more than Alien and is mostly more populear due to action points, but Alien started it... like SW4 and SW5.

Vertigo May 8th, 2005 10:49 AM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
I can't be bothered to get into a discussion about the religious aspects of The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe, but I'll respond to your post by saying I've never read the bible, I just have the basic knowledge of Christianity that you can't walk around in the Western world without absorbing at some point. Also, I never said anything about popularity.

I take it back about Sin City by the way, it looks thoroughly excellent from what I've seen so far.

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
Star Wars Ep 3 - I think Lucas finally got it right. Phew.
Sin City - This looks too stylish to miss.
War of the Worlds - Can't do worse than the last attempt so, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and watch it.
Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy - HUGE Douglas Adams fan, must watch. Must. Even if it is shit.

Lmao :D
I don't know if there's a sequel planned, it's just that a lot of people having been talking about it in this thread. Personally... crap though AvP was, I'm probably going to buy the DVD at some point anyway because I'm... well... tasteless.

And you really should post more often mate!

Fortune May 8th, 2005 03:52 PM

Re: What films you seeing this Summer?
 
I just dont know what would be so bad about using the film in its orignality, it would make more Christians watch it, which is more funds.

Its just the question whats the Sickening results for people?

Ahh, there’s probably a good chance of a sequel. One film is never seems to be enough in the film industry.
I suppose a good excuse for buying the DVD is that it's nice to have the whole collection (with the Alien & Pred films) even though it'll probably never be watched lol.

I find it rather funny that Aliens vs. Pred was apparently one of the most pirated films of the year despite it being well, rather bad. Then again I suppose that might be the reason why… oh and yes, I should post more, but I probably won’t. I can be lazy like that. :D
