What are your big movies for 2012? This is partly to see what everyone's itching to see and partly because there's some movie coming out this year that I want to see and forgot, so maybe someone else's list will have it and I'll remember. Anyway, mine are...
The Secret World of Arriety: Because I love the hell out of Ghibli movies.
The Dark Knight Rises: No one seems all that interested in this movie, so I figure I should go see it and be supportive.
The Avengers
The Hobbit
Prometheus
(EDIT: I remember now!) Brave
And then some maybes...
The Woman in Black: The trailer for this looks great, but aside from the Paranormal Activity films, I try to avoid seeing horror movies in theaters. Too much chatting, texting, etc. I can stand it during comedies and action movies, but not during horror or drama.
The Cabin in the Woods: Joss Whedon horror movie is a plus, but I need a trailer. Also, same problems as above.
Mirror, Mirror: The trailer for this looks like utter shit, and the parts that look good are in less than a second quick-cut edits, which has me hoping this is a case like Megamind/Tangled, where the trailer was geared to get the lowest common denominator in the theater, and then show them a good movie. I wouldn't even be considering this if not for Tarsem Singh directing it. He showed with The Fall that he can do this kind of fantasy stuff in a fun way. I'm not sold, but I haven't written it off yet.
The Pirates! I love Ardham. Just not sure yet. I'll see how the reviews are.
Jack the Giant Killer
And no way in hell...
Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. Anyone remember how when Clerks 2 was in theaters, Kevin Smith released a commentary mp3, so people could go see it with their iPods on and listen to the commentary as if it was on DVD? I wish Rifftrax could do that. Of course, then I'd be laughing at inappropriate moments. Actually, that'd be a selling point.
EDIT: As usually happens, I'll probably see maybe five or six of these in theaters, and then never see the others.
