I'm definitely gonna go see Hobbit. Also, World War Z cause been to the movie set in Glasgow :p. Avoid? I dunno, I don't really pay attention to the movies I'm not looking forward to. But if anyone wants to warn me I'd appreciate.

I'm madly anticipating Hobbit. I think Underworld: Awakening comes out pretty soon, too. Yup, I actually think Underworld is OK.

I would wish put more subtitles on foreign left wing films, specially on Soviet and Russian films. Less Hollywood brainwashing liberal films I hope there would be less and more less by every year.

I hate that myth that Hollywood has a left-wing, liberal bias. They churn out films that spur on acceptance of white-dominated patriarchy and support imperialistic military. For every film that tackles serious societal issues there are a dozen that perpetuate homophobia and the dominance of white male protagonists over their black and female co-stars and even their black protagonists become charicatures in order to pander to the expectations of the majority white audience. Their so-called liberal films are the exception, not the rule, and merely show that Hollywood is yet another business that widens its production base in order to appeal to a larger group of consumers.

Having said that, I'm looking forward to The Avengers and Dark Knight Rises because I am a hypocrit who likes explosions. D:

The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit for me.

And I hear Andy Serkis and the director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes are considering doing an adaptation of Animal Farm.

The Dark Knight Rises is supposed to be the most reactionary batman movie yet. The main villian is like a revolutionary or something... Bane is his name.

I'm excited for The Hobbit. Reactionary as some might call Tolkien's works, I love them.

If memory serves correctly it was Banes father who was a revolutionary. Bane went to prison because of his father and then scientists began experimenting on him. He did kill priests though.

So as probably sad before The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, Spiderman and The Avengers are on my list.

At the beginning of Transformers 3, some of the autobots destroy an Iranian nuclear base.

If that isn't propaganda for the upcoming Iranian war I don't know what is.

Want to see
-Prometheus
-The Hobbit
-The Dark Knight Rises
-World War Z
DO NOT WANT
-Rock of Ages
-Level Up
of course there are more movies, that I have no intention of seeing. But those two are the only ones I plan on avoiding like the plague.
Maybe
-Underworld: Awaking, I loved the first but the second was so fucking awful I didn't bother with the third. However I think I will give the third movie a chance, and rather or not I like it will determine if I see the new one.

Dark Knight Rises because I think Batman is going to get seriously fucked up, and the whole "rise" thing is awesome.

OMFG that's hilarious they changed the invading country just so they could sell the movie in china :laugh:

Yup. Now the US gets invaded by a "North Korean-led coalition."

Poor bastards are bored with being Imperialists and want to feel like they're freedom fighters for a change. Though they can only do this in movies. Pathetic scum.

Avengers
Prometheus
World war z

They where going to make a roadside picnic movie with john travolta.
I loved the strugatsky brothers book and as such am interested in the movie but you know hollywood and all will probably ruin it.

And any horror and sci-fi movies that come out.

I'll probably watch SM5 even though it's gonna be crap because I saw all of the other films, not watching 5 makes it feel incomplete.

As for RE, they should've gone with George A. Romero instead of Paul W.S. Anderson with the first film. That's where that film series went wrong.

I don't know, I think that Romero has been bombing recently with the film he has released.

The Resident Evil movies are so bad. I guess I would be okay if they existed, just don't call them "Resident Evil." I heard the last one, they added super-powers for some characters? What.the.fuck.god.dammit.

I wouldn't mind if they made the first three games (RE1-3) movies, although I guess 2 & 3 could be packed into one film. RE4 has a fantastic story that kept me interested the whole way through, but it has practically no relation to the others, so it would seem so random...
I wouldn't mind Resident Evil Zero being made either. Being trapped on a train of zombies scared the shit out of me.

Didn't romero go all blair witch project with his zombie movies ?

The Resident Evil movies where bad because of the focus on Alice (she was/is the directors GF if i recall correctly) and all the powers she has is just ridiculous.

But then again the RE games also become more and more nonsensical.
I wish the games where more like the first 3 with real zombies and the occasional weird creature/plant that randomly mutated and i could accept the tyrants as specifically designed bioweapons but those wierd giants in 4 and 5 where too much and then the bosses yuk.

Yeah but I liked Land of the Dead which came out a few years after RE.

Which bomb attacks from the Capitalist Military-Industrial Visual Propaganda and Brainwashing Department (A.K.A. "Hollywood") am I looking forward to?
None.
The worst are the reactionary super-heroe, anti-working class propaganda bombs which no self-respecting, intelligent human being would ever subject themselves to, except when forced under prison conditions. The cruel torture that was every single second of "Iron Man" was the last one I hope I ever have to endure.
