I was browsing through the list of movies expected to come out in 2009 (3236 according to IMDB) and I decided to point out a few of those that either excited me or simply made me wonder why.

A-Team, The -- I loved the A-Team, but I'm not sure if it's Big Screen worthy; maybe if it's rated R
Akira -- another animated cl@ssic going live action. (For some reason the site is sensoring the word "cl@ssic" so I have to use the @ sign)
All Quiet on the Western Front -- usually I don't care for remakes, but with the advances in film-making, this could be a truly visually stunning remake.
Austin Powers 4 -- 2 was enough
Birds, The -- another remake of a cl@ssic. Why?
Brazilian Job, The -- I've actually been looking foward to this since the Italian Job came out in 2003. But I'm worried some of the luster has rubbed off in the past 6 years.
Butterfly Effect: Revelation -- if only I could go back in time and stop this kind of crap from being made
Child's Play -- Chucky's back
CHiPs -- Wilmer Valderrama as Ponch...really?
Crank 2: High Voltage -- senseless action? Sure, I guess so...
Dallas -- does anyone care anymore?
Dragonball -- not sure what to think of this just yet
Fletch Won -- a Fletch prequel?
Fraggle Rock: The Movie -- isn't it a little late for this?
Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder -- sure, it's a straight to DVD release, but it's Futurama
Gears of War -- please, please don't suck.
Ghost Rider 2 -- the first one was a massive dissapointment, not even Evea Mendes' well rounded everything could save it from mediocracy. So why are they even trying again so soon?
Halo -- same as Gears of War...pretty please: don't suck
Howard Stern's Porky's -- ...curious...
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs -- what can I say? I enjoyed the first two
Jackass 3 -- even this is kinda getting old for me.
Jailhouse Rock -- no information on this yet at IMDB so I'm staying neutral
Jetsons, The -- eh, please, all I can hope for is that it isn't live action
Jurassic Park IV -- eh
Little Fockers -- ?
Magnum P.I. -- are we seeing a pattern yet? Why does Hollywood think we'll flock to the theaters to see every TV show turned movie?
Metal Gear Solid -- I hope this isn't asking alot: three video game movies in one year that doesn't suck. Especially because this one has so much potential
Puss-in-Boots (2009 or 10) -- sure, why not?
Raging Bull II -- no info on IMDB yet, but I can't help but wonder why after 28 years it seems like a good idea now
Rambo V -- do you really need the money Sly?
Sims: The Movie, The -- huh? wha? why?
Sin City 3 -- I mean 3 (2 still has a 2010 release date). Can't wait.
Spy Hunter -- seems kind of gimmicky this day and age
Star Trek -- gonna have to see it before I really know what to think
Street Fighter: The ELgend of Chun-Li -- ...
Superman: Man of Steel -- little is known about the project, but I'm anxiously awaiting this release
Terminator Salvation -- I'm ok with Christian Bale on this one, but the director also did the Charlie's Angels movies...let's hope he's grown since then
Thomas Crown Affiar 2, The -- I really enjoyed the remake from 1999 and since Brosnan is the lead again, I have high hopes
Three Stooges, The -- SACRILEGE!!!
Tintin -- Steven Speilberg directing? Interesting.
Tom and Jerry -- I still watch Tom and Jerry; one of my favorite cartoons. This better be animated.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen --
Untitled Departed Sequel -- The Departed was one of the best Crime/Drama/Thrillers in years...I'll take another hit
Untitled J.J. Abrams Cloverfield Sequel -- America is putting too much stock in J.J. Abrams.
Untitled Karate Kid Remake -- this better not wax off. Sorry, couldn't help myself, I'll go stand in the corner now.
Waco -- made for TV movie maybe, but how does this make for a good blockbuster? Especailly 16-years later.
Warcraft -- I just don't know...
Westworld -- another movie that just doesn't need to be remade.
Witchblade, The -- I think it depends on who the lead is going to be
Wonder Woman -- never cared that much
X-Men Origins: Magneto -- Awsome.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine -- Hasn't he had three movies already? But, ok



BewareTheHorns

A funny thing happened today. I ran over my Sprint Mogul...with my car. Seems that it -- case and all -- slipped off my belt while getting in the car and I pulled out of my spot before I realized I had lost it.

With all this other stuff going on right now, I'm not yet pissed. Actually I'm suprised at how well most everything but the screen held up.

BewareTheHorns

Is that a telephone pole in the middle of my car? Sure is.

I can forgive a glitch here and there, but with Vice City Stories for the PSP they are everywhere. On more than one occasion I've driven through where a safehouse is supposed to be only to get stuck in it. In the case of the picture above I was trying to cross the median when the pole spawned while I was in the middle of it. Saint's Row was another of those glitch-filled games that I'm sure would have been a lot of fun if it didn't crash on me every 20-30 minutes.

I don't really have anything else here other to complain, but when I shell out good money for a game, I expect it to 'work' especially when I can't return it for the full value I paid.

My thoughts on the proposed Michigan Smoking Ban. (Still working on the soft audio, sorry.)
