New Release Poll 7/2

[ZapRowsdower]

Heh heh. Evil, huh?

Go ahead and click Other. Forget about options 1-3. We all know what movie we're going to be lining up to see as soon as this Wednesday. In fact, it's going to be so big, I didn't even name it on the poll.

Besides, I wanted "Other" to win for once. Does "Other" ever win in a poll like this? No. "Other" is an underdog. So include what is obviously going to be the biggest movie of the year since the Passion of the Christ in "Other" insures that "Other" will finally win. Yeah, I know. I'm a geek. And I have selected "Other", for obvious reasons.

As for the other films, I liked Linklater's "School of Rock", but I'd like to see Before Sunrise before I check out Before Sunset. De-Lovely looks very interesting; and it would be nice to see Ashley Judd in a movie that doesn't suck. Of course the FIRST film I'll be seeing AFTER "Other" is the Clearing. I just love to see Willem Dafoe play a bad guy. That guy is just really good at playing a bad guy.

Speed 2: Cruise Control?

As for the poll: it's Other for me, dammit! Hard to be original sometimes...

The Clearing is the second one I'm honestly interested in.

[Heineken Skywalker]

"OTHER" sounds like it might be even better than the original!
Can't wait to see it.
THE CLEARING might be good too.

I think Other is gonna run away w/ this one. I would def. go see it this weekend but I already promised someone I would go see 'Riddick' w/ them. Damn it all!

[Bartwald]

I want to see Riddick even more than Other but the shitty part is neither of these opens in Poland this weekend!

[ZapRowsdower]

Trust me, I just saw "Other" and can tell you that Riddick doesn't even compare. In "Other", unlike in the first movie, you can tell that this was directed by Sam Raimi. This one has some almost gothic darkness, and just like the Evil Dead trilogy, it manages to maintain its campiness... in a GOOD way, NOT in a Batman and Robin way.

[LivingDeadGirl]

Well, yeah I didn't really figure 'Riddick' would even be in the same league as 'Other'.

Speaking of 'Other'...

"Spider-Man 2: Rotten Tomatoes reports that the sequel has received a perfect grade from major print critics. Meanwhile, Sony and IMAX will soon announce plans to distribute an IMAX version on either Friday, July 16, 2004 or Friday, July 23 depending on how soon the prints can be made."

Spidey 2 I saw on the 30th. I also saw Spidey 1 opening day. I saw Dodgeball yesterday, it was hilarious.

[LivingDeadGirl]

'Dodgeball' looks pretty funny but I don't know I could handle Ben Stiller for that long.

[Heineken Skywalker]

Saw SPIDER- MA..., er, I mean "other", this past weekend. My review is in the Sci-Fi section.

You wouldn't have this problem with The Rock, would you?

[LivingDeadGirl]

Well, of course not. ;D I'd be happy just to sit & watch him read a telephone book.

[Bartwald]

So I thought...

Same goes for me and Naomi Watts, actually.

[LivingDeadGirl]

You thought correctly sir. Hey, I heard Naomi & Heath Ledger called it quits so there you go!

[Bartwald]

Thanks! ;D

But seriously: being in relationship with Naomi - or any other actress I think of as gorgeous - would probably be no fun at all. Damn, they sure look sexy but they also have I Bring Hell To The Lives Of My Men written all over their foreheads.
