Rip Michael Clark Duncan. Fucking sucks.

Jim Carrey will make a great addition to this franchise.

Lincoln will probably be a snooze fest.

The World's End is going to be funny.

Directors cut of TDKR would be nice upon first release on DVD but won't happen because of obvious cash grab reasons.

I'd like to see Daniel Craig play bond a few more times. Skyfall looks amazing.

Ti West hooking up with Eli Roth to make a horror movie. There is no way this will be bad. The House and the Devil and The Innkeepers were both solid flicks.

I like the star trek sequel name.

Hobbit will be good for what it is.

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. Fucking sucks people still can't spell your name right

Jim Carrey is awesome! Loved the Number 23!

Lincoln's gonna suck. Like we need another movie about a dead guy.

The World's End is going to be the funniest thing since the last Tyler Perry movie.

Screw corporations, right? Can't believe businesses like to make money.

Daniel Craig is the sexiest Bond ever. I love the tingly feeling I get in my balls watching him on screen.

Eli Roth best horror director of all time, ftw!

Star Trek II would have been such a let down for the sequels name.

The Hobbit will be okay. Don't expect it to be that great considering its barely related to one of the most successful and acclaimed trilogies of all time.

This is the weirdest response to a blog I've ever made. You agree with me on most things and then are completely sarcastic here and there :/

All that set aside. I agree About Eli Roth. I actually have the bloodhound tattoo from Hostel.

Just a suggestion, but I wish some of the links would be a little more self explanatory before I have to click on a bunch to find out I don't actually give a damn about what it was. example: Greatest surprise news. Maybe a little something saying what it was for would be nice.

Just saying.

This.

I think it's incredibly insulting to be working on a Joe Paterno film so quickly.

I think it's incredibly insulting to base a film on Joe Paterno period. He doesn't deserve it.

RIP Micheal Clarke Duncan sucks :/

I know what you're saying, but man, you could make that argument about a LOT of people.

Agreed. Although I'm really curious to see how he's depicted in the movie and how Al Pacino plays him. I live close to Penn State and people are still VERY big defenders of him. I just want to see whether the movie makes you sympathize with him or root against him towards the end.

really hoping to see a directors cut for TDKR

Also hoping for a director's cut for TDKR. It sounds like I need to see The Innkeepers. The House of the Devil was fantastic. Couldn't get into Trigger Man and absolutely despised Cabin Fever 2 to the point of turning it off after 15 mins. (glad to see he took his name off of it)
