I'm kind of eager to see the new Pirates movie, as well as X-Men First Class and Super 8. I know all of these have already come out in theaters, but money is fairly tight for me at the moment, so I'm gonna wait for dvd & blu ray.
Two movies that haven't come out yet though, are Captain America and The Thing prequel. I'm not a big Captain america fan, but I'll see anything that has people fighting nazi's, and what I've read about it sounds okay. I'm a huge THING fan, and I think the new movie is going to be terrible. But I still have to watch it, and hope for the best.

One of the few movies I am looking forward to is Ridley Scott's Prometheus, partly because of it's connection to Alien, but also looks like it's shaping up to be a pretty interesting film. _________________

I'm also looking forward to Ridley Scott's Prometheus. While I don't mind it having obvious tie ins to Alien, I really hope it is more of a stand alone movie personally.

I think that's how they're trying to do it. From what I read it started as a straight-up prequel and evolved into it's own thing. I am a little upset because Ridley Scott said to get the necessary budget they're probably gonna have to make it PG-13, but then again PG-13 is a lot different today than when the original Alien came out. Regardless it looks like it's shaping up to be a great film with the potential to shake up the whole Alien franchise and answer some of unanswered question in the series (Where did the Space Jockey come from???) while building up it's own mythology. _________________

I like the mystery and strangness of the "spacejockey",I fear that if they spend too much time trying too explain it's origins it will adversely effect one of the more creepy aspects of the original Alien,I mean I don't want too see a CG'd Mr.Space Snuffleluffaguss tending too a farm of Alien eggs...Knowing Hollywood and the consessions Ridley has already made too get the movie financed it would'nt suprise me...

So the space jockey is the xenomorph? I'm confused. _________________

No...The Space jockey is the dead giant Alien navigator,That Ripleys crew discover in the wreckage of the "derilict" space craft on LV426 in the 1st Alien film...For some reason Ridley Scott and company have eluded previously that this film may or may not deal with that particular part of the Alien mythos...To me its an absolutely horrible idea,Its something thats better not explained not remaining so will kinda rob that moment in the 1st film of it's sheer bizzare impact..

Damn! Guess it's been a loooong time since I've seen that movie. Goodie, something to watch tonight. Thanks for the info. I really don't remember that thing at all.
It doesn't make sense that these aliens can manufacture and use machines and such. I know they are supposed to be intelligent but they always seemed like intelligent wild animals. Unless this space jockey is supposed to be a higher intelligence being from their homeworld and the aliens (xenomorphs) are like wild animals there too. I guess it's like you said and the mystery is better than telling how it all works. But I wanna know dammit!
Edit 100! Ok, reading more on the creature it seems as if it is probably a different alien that was killed be the xenomorphs. I gotta get my act together and go watch the first movie again. _________________

I wonder if it is a book or story or stories hunter wrote about himself only using another character instead of himself. I wonder if he is like he was in fear and loathing. Either way I'm going to see it. _________________

You haven't heard about this Demise? The Rum Diaries was Thompson's 2nd unpublished book that, after he became more of a journalistic heavyweight, he dusted off the manuscript, touched it up, and got it published. It's a good read, you'd definitely love it.
No Depp is not reprising the infamous role of Raoul Duke, but another fictionalized alias of Thompson's by the handle of Paul Kemp. It's basically the romanticized account of Thompson's time in Puerto Rico when he was still new to the world of Sports Writing/Objective Journalism.
The trailer doesn't really impress me at all. But as you already said, I shall be there when the first ticket is sold. Hopefully my theater will at snag some posters or other promotional material. _________________ All of humanity is of my creation. They are all the ways I could have lived my life, but didn't.

No, I hadn't heard about it. My friend just told me about it before I posted that link here. I thought I was spreading the word, Ha. SO yeah, fictionalized alias is the term I was looking for. How coincidental that Depp is taking up another role of hunter as another character. I bet he's producing it or something since he's got tons of dough and loves Thompson. I haven't been interested or excited enough about any movies enough lately to go to the movies but I will definitely be going to see this one. _________________

I'm not a fan of Tintin, but I love the style of the film.
Cartoonish proportions but realistic colours and lighting...

I'm looking forward to J.Edgar. Not a huge DiCaprio fan, but it's a Clint Eastwood film so it can't be all bad. _________________
