And what about the next James Bond flick have heard zero.

I heard something about the next James Bond film.

Apparently it won't be taking place in the Craig continuity, but in the original continuity, with Sean Connery reprising the role of James Bond. The plot revolves around an old, decrepit Bond with syphilis who comes out of retirement to save the world from the evil hybrid clone of Dr. No & Blofeld who is growing a clone army of Baron Samedis to use in his quest for world domination. This Bond film is to be the closing chapter of the original James Bond's story, with Bond dying in service to his Queen and country.

There are rumours that David Lynch had been hired to direct.

 

NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! That's almost as bad as Tarantino! But wait....it kinda sounds a bit like the genius 1967 film...now that would be interesting...with Lynch, Polanski, Ken Russell and Nicholas Roeg as the co-directors.

But the new film is supposed to be directed by Sam Mendes and out in late 2012. They're going to try to make Bond an art film. It started creeping in during the mess of Quantum. This next one will be more "classical", meaning they will just take a step closer to the kind of movie they made a franchise out of, but still fall short of making any kind of actual statement or something worth the ticket.

Tintin is going to be my final end-all litmus test for Spielberg. If it works, then he will have proven his mettle. But likely I will be just as disappointed as usual. And then I will completely give up on his output. (I haven't liked anything post 87 anyway, save for Crusade.)

What about Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Minority Report, and Munich?

THIS.

And also, Tintin also has Jackson on it's side, and I doubt he'll let Spielberg fuck it up too much. 

As for the release dates on certain movies not being mad: If/When the studio changes it, I will too, but those are the schedules dates as of now.   Some movies don't have a scheduled date so they have question marks instead.

I'm not going to lie, I am looking forward to Underworld: Awakening.  There is just something about Kate Beckinsale in skintight pleather that gets my juices flowing.

If you know what I mean.  

Heh, heh, heh.

That will be fun. I'll go to most anything Rid does. Even enjoyed Robin Hood.

JP: No.  SL: I could never pin down my dislike of this one. Finally found somewhere online where Kubrick essentially described List as a movie about "winning" the Holocaust. Spot on. MR: bland. Not deep enough and not enough of an action serial. It doesn't know what it wants to be. Munich: trying way too hard for very little results. In my book Spielberg ends with Empire of the Sun and LC.

Funny story. When I first heard about Jurassic Park I thought it was going to be a movie about long-dead dinosaur fossils brought back to life through magic. When I finally got to see the movie I was suprised at how different it was from my imaginings, albeit pleasantly; I loved JP, it was probably my first favourite movie at the time (saw it at least a year before I saw my first SW film), and I still love it to this day.
