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

You Don't Mess with the Zohan

might

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

want

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!!

But I confess to being intrigued after reading this.

Huh. Didn't know it had a political angle to it. That *could* be interesting.

Hancock: I was skeptical until it got to the press conference, where he's reading (and not particularly convincingly) the statement about how "you deserve better" than the kind of hero he is, without even looking up from the lectern. Something about that grabbed me.

Hmm. Interesting. I'll admit, that part of it is really what appealed to me - a superhero that's not just angsty like Spider Man, but someone who really you don't want saving you. :D

Hellboy II: WHY AREN'T LIZ'S FLAMES BLUE???

*snickers*

Dark Knight: I'm a dork and just keep looking for myself in the parade scenes.

And you WILL point it out if you're visible, right? You know, I'd probably pay to see that movie just for that. :)

Mummy: I'll see it, but I probably won't be happy. Still, as you say, Michelle Yeoh, whom I've had a girlcrush on since she out-Bonded Bond. *happy sigh* Lowered expectations FTW!

*sighs* I'll be a "lie back and think of Mummy I/II" thing, most likely. And she was in a Bond movie? Not that I've seen very many Bond movies. There's just something deeply cool about her.

And she was in a Bond movie? Not that I've seen very many Bond movies.

Yup. The... second(?) Brosnan one. The one with Jonathan Pryce and (briefly) Teri Hatcher. :: checks IMDb :: Tomorrow Never Dies. It's not particularly good, but she's awesome.

Oooh. I'll have to check it out if I happen to see it on the TV lineup.

There's a new book out in honor of what would have been Ian Fleming's 100th birthday, so odds are at least one cable channel will be marathoning soon if they aren't already. Spike and I think TNT tend to do them periodically anyway.
