Sorry for the (semi) long update. I was nowhere near a computer last weekend.

adamat3 09/30/12 03:15 PM
I thought Jim Carey backed out of the new Dumb and Dumber.

DecemberFaded 09/30/12 03:45 PM
Saw Looper last night. Really, really well done. Anyone wondering if they should see it should definitely go see it. Don't read reviews/watch trailers--just go check it out!

Thought I'd let y'all know.

stonecoldfox 09/30/12 03:47 PM
I'm really excited to see Wreck it Ralph!

If you read the article it brings up that point.

It gives us a little hope that he still might be apart of it.
That's exciting.

Jim Carrey or not... I'm pretty sure it's gonna be awful. Farrely Brothers should have retired a decade ago.

Wreck-It Ralph posters look nice. I'm excited for The Great Gatsby.
I haven't seen The Amazing Spider-Man but from what I heard it wasn't too different from the 2002 one. Hopefully the sequel doesn't follow the same path.
On a side note, I didn't know Marc Webb directed videos for Brand New, Green Day, The Used, Jimmy Eat World and a bunch of others.

Excited about this Damon, Affleck collaboration.

Oof. Reeeally iffy on modern-day Hamlet. Seeing as the Ethan Hawke attempt was not something I ever want to watch again.

Dude, yeah! It looks amazing.

YES to the Strain series. I have been waiting and waiting for it.

They can only do it justice! If you haven't read the books I definitely suggest them. Can't wait for the show, much better than doing it as movies.

drewbaldy 09/30/12 09:43 PM
Any chance of Heath Ledger reprising his role in the knights tale tv series Tupac hologram style?

skibby15 10/01/12 05:25 AM
really excited for wreck it ralph.

i'm excited for a dumber and dumber sequel. i cant see jim carrey passing on it

Spencer Control 10/01/12 06:41 AM
Modern day Hamlet sounds like an awesome miniseries, if they're doing what they did with Patrick Stewart's Macbeth.

Modern day Alice in Wonderland has so much potential but just sounds stupid from the article.

botDs-r 10/01/12 09:35 AM
Strain being directed by Del Toro means it will be awesome!

I'm excited so Hitchcock and Noah.

And really? Another Hangover?

Journey408 10/01/12 01:00 PM
the next season of The Voice shall be interesting....
