Super excited for Annihilation. Still debating whether I should read the book(s) first or not…

A Quiet Place is the only one I have any real interest in seeing, perhaps because it looks to be more of a horror than a sci-fi film. Annihilation looks somewhat intriguing, but I don’t have a clue as to what the hell the story’s supposed to be about.

I’m not touching anything with Keanu or the Rock in it, and Fallen Kingdom can go die in a vault fire.

That’s why I’m so excited for it! Well, that and the fact that I adore Ex Machina and it’s the same writer/director.

There’s also the third Cloverfield film, and The Predator, both of which I’m curious about.

Annihilation and Quiet Place look interesting. I was clicking through some of those other ones since I don’t know about many, and holy crap the big CG eyes on Alita or whatever look terrifying.

Just gotta love Cameron and his “innovating” use of CGI.

^Yeah, my brother and I had a good laugh when we saw that trailer before Justice League. Unfortunately, we still saw Justice League.

I would have thought that Adam Sandler flick nailed the coffin shut on video game movies.

And yet here we are in a world where Illumination is developing a Super Mario Bros. movie.

^That’s the only video game movie (after a Zombies Ate My Neighbors adaptation) I’d be interested in seeing.

At least Mario is more than one game and has a world to build upon.

Yeah, but it’s from the company that gave us Minions, so none of that matters.

I take it Minions isn’t a very cromulent work of filmmaking?

Ready Player One (not on the list).

Edit: now it has been added.

Actually, I guess I’m interested in this new Predator thing and maybe the Cloverfield one too.

Lol, Ray!

I’m a Jurassic World (and The Lost World for that matter) apologist but after seeing the trailer for Fallen Kingdom I honestly might just wait until it’s on the telly. I’m not at all excited for it.

There’s a third Cloverfield movie coming? That news bypassed me! I suppose I’m excited to see that.

Is 10 Cloverfield Lane considered the second Cloverfield movie? I liked that movie, but I would’ve liked it a lot more if they didn’t shoehorn in stuff that was supposedly from Cloverfield.

I’m sorry Duracell, please don’t shun me forever. In my defence I think I mostly like those two movies because they have two ginger-haired female leads (I’m a ginger.)

I understand the allure of red hair all too well.

Apology accepted.

Yeah, I was semi-interested to see Jurassic Park V but that trailer just killed it for me. It seems even dumber than the previous one.

yeah, i am not ashamed to say this is what i most look forward to. I don’t expect it to be the best, but it is the one i am most looking forward to seeing.

And yet i still am positive i will watch it, because dinosaurs. it does seem like a terrible movie based on that trailer (and on the previous Jurassic World, which makes me trust what i see in the trailer). Seriously, they brought those damn glass balls back? better have a good in-movie justification for it.
