I want to see John Sayles' new film (Casa de los Babys), Pieces of April (Katie Holmes and Oliver Platt) and I'm sure I'll end up seeing The School of Rock.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Monday, 25 August 2003 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I honestly can't think of a single one.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 25 August 2003 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Lost in Translation looks neat. That Coen brothers one with George Clooney also could be good.

― ryan (ryan), Monday, 25 August 2003 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Runaway Jury mightn't suck.

Once Opon A Time In Mexico, Bubba Ho-Tep, and that's it.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 25 August 2003 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Dogville
Elephant

― jed_e_3 (jed_e_3), Monday, 25 August 2003 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

This is, at least in my experience, Worst Movie Year Ever (though I suppose 1895 is a serious contender). That said, everyone's already mentioned all the films I'm looking forward to (the Coen Bros. movie and Once Upon a Time In Mexico).

And what the hell, the last Matrix movie might actually be a decent bit of closure.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 25 August 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

And if it actually will be allowed to exist then hey: Kill Bill.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:11 (twenty-two years ago)

live-action garfield movie

Hex Enduction Hour: The Motion Picture

DUH!

live-action garfield movie

please tell me this is for real? (also, i look forward to all movies because i always think they are all gonna be perfect before i actually see them!)

― ryan (ryan), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

see the so-called "wild palms" thread

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:40 (twenty-two years ago)

my god garfield is the unfunniest thing ever. i really, really hope they stick to the over the top blandness of the strip until it achieves some kind of absurd transcendence. that is the only hope for this movie!

― ryan (ryan), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:45 (twenty-two years ago)

or if it wz like four seconds long, one second for each panel

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

but you didn't know till you'd paid and sat down in the cinema

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark, that's the director's cut! The actual comic is actually (invariably) three panels.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

also it should be black and white unless you see it on sunday. in which case it is in color and twice as long

― ryan (ryan), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to see the Last Samurai

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Kill Bill will either be the greatest movie ever or the absolute worst. Can't wait either way.

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

The teaser trailer for Kill Bill is awful.

― Sean (Sean), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 01:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Doesn't Tarantino know that the Hong Kong buzz died several years ago (or at least when John Woo did Windtalkers)?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 02:01 (twenty-two years ago)

so when does return of the king come out? or the next harry potter?

― Maria (Maria), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 02:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I think there are actually quite a few films coming out I want to see. The only problem is that most of them are only going to play in one of the Dallas art-house theaters.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 02:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't Return of the King coming out this fall?

The School of Rock = totally gonna be bad-ass.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Definitely Lost in Translation, and Casa de los Babys looks very, very sweet.

My Life Without Me could be annoying, but I'll stake my money on it being pretty darn good. It'd be nice for Sarah Polley to land a true breakout role.

― Joshua Houk (chascarrillo), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 05:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Bubba Ho-Tep is boring as hell, I'm afraid.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 07:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Goddammit! (kicks a cat)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm another person waiting for lost in translation, intolerable cruelty (though i don't have high hopes for it), and once upon a time in mexico but as i live in ireland i probably won't get to see them till winter or even spring.

master and commander better be great (the sea is my first love, aarrrrr). mystic river, cold mountain, and elephant could be good. big fish sounds crap but i hope it won't be. the school of rock also looks like it could be fun (or schmaltz). the last samurai trailer gave it a lot to live up to. and then of course there's the third matrix and lotr and peter pan.

― angela (angela), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, the peter pan talks a good game about being true to the book, but I have a hard time believing they'll do it justice, particularly the mental last chapter.

Why do you distrust Intolerable Cruelty, Angela? Coen Brothers + Clooney = quality (based on a sample of one).

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 09:58 (twenty-two years ago)

"Mark E. Smith - The Final Conflict"

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Why do you distrust Intolerable Cruelty, Angela? Coen Brothers + Clooney = quality (based on a sample of one).

but caterine zeta-jones + story about stereotypes = cause to worry

― angela (angela), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 10:21 (twenty-two years ago)

What are you talking about? High Fidelity was great!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 10:21 (twenty-two years ago)

that VAMPIRES vs. WEREWOLVES movie starring my crush KATE BECKINSALE looks awesome (on paper anyway)

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

High Fidelity was great!

but it's not exactly what i want from a coen brothers films (i'd also completely forgotten that catherine zeta-jones was in that).

i think i have just taken against intolerable cruelty based on the premise and c z-j; it makes me think of a cross between american sweethearts and heartbreakers.

― angela (angela), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

If Bubba Ho-Tep isn't bad-ass then wtf is there any hope for humanity? Seriously no movie has ever sounded so appealing!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

on the basis of two examples (high fidelity and Traffic) I conclude that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with casting CZJ in a film.

when is Dogville coming out? it won the Palm Dog in Cannes.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

No it didn't.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

But it would have.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh. My mistake. Palme d'Or : no; Palm Dog : yes.

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Yo, is there a wide-release for Bubba Ho-Tep?
I've been eagerly awaiting this for a year now.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh. My mistake. Palme d'Or : no; Palm Dog : yes.

yes, for the best performance by a dog in a film. The Man Without A Past won last year, so the prize is a good indicator of quality.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

In terms of talent attached, the must-see this autumn must be that Michael Gondry-Charlie Kaufman thing w/ Carrey, Winslet and Dunst

Other things I'm looking forward to:
In The Cut should be - at worst - amusing (Meg Ryan goes soft porn w/ Jane Campion)
Calendar Girls is getting good reviews, but I fear the script might just be a re-hash of The Full Monty
Elephant
Underworld (aforementioned vampire/lycanthropes flick)

― Jeff W (zebedee), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

They're remaking Human Nature with Jim Carrey in the Rhys Ifans role?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

dang, I thought for a moment it was Mariah Carey, Carl Winslow (patriarch of Urkel neighbours on Family Matters) and Fred Durst, cuz that would be the very definition of "talent attached."

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Cypher
Battle Royale 2

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 15:38 (twenty-two years ago)

when is Dogville coming out? it won the Palm Dog in Cannes

Depends where you are - some are saying it will never be released in the states cos it's so anti-american. The uk Release is set for October last i heard.

― jed_e_3 (jed_e_3), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Battle Royale 2, and anything involving the Coen Brothers or Charlie Kaufman. Seems like it ought to be time for a new Wes Anderson soon too, I'd have thought.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

They said September 11 (the anthology film) was too anti-American to be released in America but it's got a distributor anyway. I'm sure Dogville will make it here as well.

― amateurist (amateurist), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Though they renamed it from 9'11"01 because some things are sacrosanct, and the fucked-up date system is one, goddamit.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 07:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Dogville
Elephant
Kill Bill
Matchstick Men
Wonderland
The Ghost Story with Stone and co.
The new one by the Jesus of Monteral guy.

― anthony easton (anthony), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 08:52 (twenty-two years ago)

i really really really want to see "bright future." also "happy here and now." also what anthony said.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 08:59 (twenty-two years ago)

twenty-two years pass...

Took forever to find a suitable thread...Based on trailers I really liked, Linklater's Nouvelle Vague and Joachim Trier's Sentimental Valu ("Ooh La La"!); also a couple of documentaries, The Librarians and Riefenstahl.

This thread's a fun time capsule.

― jmm, Friday, 7 November 2025 17:33 (yesterday)

Yes--Lost in Translation looks neat. That Coen brothers one with George Clooney also could be good.

Yeah, the peter pan talks a good game about being true to the book, but I have a hard time believing they'll do it justice, particularly the mental last chapter.

I have absolutely no memory of the existence of this 2003 Peter Pan. A $130 million budget.
