Most Anticipated Movies

It's annoying me, too. I'm used to Hollywood being obsessed with remakes, since we so rarely get original ideas from the major studios anymore, but Disney is literally giving every idea they're offered a release date.

At the very least, we should be thankful Disney hasn't announced a Hunchback of Notre Dame High with Frollo as the bitter principal.

Stop giving them ideas, man.

[Avaitor]

y'no, that Descendants movie that just aired on Disney Channel was based off of a book, and in it, Frollo has a kid as well.

I think that might have been a step too far for the channel...

[Spark Of Spirit]

Cinderella was supposedly the one remake that actually tried, and was both a critical and commercial hit. If these remakes are going to be more in that vein, I'd be fine with it.

But giving Dumbo to Tim Burton? The man's recent output has not exactly been what you'd call impressive.

[gunswordfist]

Live action Dumbo? I never want to see that...

[talonmalon333]

They should do a realistic, live action take on Dumbo. That means no talking and no flying.

[Avaitor]

I'd be up for Dumbo if Burton treats it as a tribute to Ray Harryhausen.

I think he'd be down for that, but Disney probably wouldn't let him, though.

The early reviews for MI: Rogue Nation are really strong, so far. I'm super excited for the movie, myself. Ghost Protocol was excellent and really revitalized the franchise. This movie looks like it could be just as good, if not even better.

Seeing as how nobody else posted about it, this trailer has been up for about a week, now:

You know, it's kind of funny. Everyone seems to feel that pre-Death Proof Quentin Tarantino was much better, but I've personally found his post-Death Proof movies (though there's only two of them, so far) to be much more appealing, myself (and everybody hates Death Proof, itself).

For the first time ever, I'm actually interested to see a new QT movie and expect to actually enjoy it.

[Foggle]

It looks fantastic.

I personally think QT is excellent all throughout his career. His highs to me are Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, and Django Unchained (plus True Romance, if it counts). I guess the folks who think he went downhill just don't like westerns.

[gunswordfist]

RD is decent but it didn't do much for me. I've seen bits of Jackie Brown but I'm uninterested in it. Kill Bills are my favorites. I pretty much love Inglorious Basterds. I have not seen Django yet. I'm uninterested in watching Death Proof, after what I have heard and lastly, I am really interested in seeing all of True Romance. I love that movie's dialogue.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

For me it's Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained (IB is actually my favorite of his, though).

Now that I'm older, I have respect and appreciation for his earlier stuff, but also feel a disconnect with the characters and styles of those films. Like, Kill Bill didn't really get me to care about whether The Bride got her revenge or not, whereas I was actually invested in Django's character.

Though, it's also possible that ass-hole film snobs who overhyped QT as the end-all, be-all of cinema had a lot to do with my initial backlash at the guy's filmography. Like I said, however, I don't hate it anymore like I used to, but his early stuff still hasn't really grown on me.

I still haven't seen Reservoir Dogs yet, though.

Anyways, as for this movie itself, it's another Western, and since I liked his last Western, I'm actually looking forward to this one.

Same here, definitely.
