I meant to do this the other day after I watched Iron Man and Indiana Jones: comment on all the previews I saw for the summer movies.

The Incredible Hulk
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

    No.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan
    It might be funny, and it also might be a single joke. I'd probably be more tempted to see it if it was a Cohen Brother's flick. (Secret confession - I laughed so hard I cried during There's Something About Mary.)

The Happening
    *is still traumatized from watching the Sixth Sense in the theater* I'll satisfy my curiousity about his twist-of-the-day by reading spoilers.

Get Smart
    I want to want to see this movie, but the trailer looked really dumb. I've got a bad feeling about this, Sparky. If the reviews are bad, I definitely won't see it.

The Love Guru
    I'm not sure why Mike Myers didn't just make another Austin Powers movie, because this is exactly what this is. Very big PASS.

Wall-E
    Awwwww. I hope it's good. I wanna see it.

Hancock
    Looks like a blast, and Will Smith is always a draw for me. I'll see it.

Hellboy II
    Okay, what? I had no idea there was a Hellboy I. Nor do I think I care.

The Dark Knight
    Hmm. This is a maybe for me. I love giving Christopher Nolan kudos for just about anything. I'm sure he walks the dog masterfully. But the superhero thing just never excites me on its own.

The Mummy
    Eh, I'll probably see it. Looks like some brainless fun. I'm not expecting the charm of the first 2 movies though, considering Evie's been actor-replaced. (They really couldn't find a British actor? Erg, she's going to attempt the fake accent, isn't she?) But, you know, Brendan Fraser. So yay! And also Michelle Yeoh who I've had a girlcrush on ever since Crouching Tiger.


I didn't see a preview for it, but just felt the need to mention that I WILL be seeing the X-Files movie. \o/

And also in the Coming Soon department, new Futurama DVD June 24!!

If what I've read, The Happening's twist is the worst yet. But he may be smart enough to put out foilers, who knows?

Let me guess - it's all a dream? :D

Also, I have nothing against Maria Bello. But if there were so desperate to make another Mummy, I think I'd have prefered them to kill Evie off...

Or...left her at home? Maybe she's on some kind of lecture tour? I suppose *maybe* it'll be just as good, but actor chemistry is hard to replace. (I'm *still* impressed they pulled it off with the switch between CE and DT when it came to interacting with BP. It was a different-looking chemistry, but still very much sparks. And I mean that in a non-romantic way.)

If only it were a dream. That would be better than this... OK, I'm building it up a bit here, but it made me go 'Bwuh?' when I read it. I heard the film was really bloody, which is not for me, so I spoiled myself.

I'm *still* impressed they pulled it off with the switch between CE and DT when it came to interacting with BP.

But then I think that comes down to the talent of the actor. It'd be pretty impossible not to have chemistry with any of those three. Dammit, why can't we have a scene with them all in? *stamps foot*

You wouldn't happen to have a link to the spoiler, would you? (Even if it's fake.) I don't care about being spoiled for this and I'm curious.

I can't find anything specific, but people are talking about it in this post: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/23558275.html I can't be more help than that though.

HUH.
