Laika (the people behind Coraline) just today announced a new movie! The super quick teaser video they did looked BEAUTIFUL so I’m very excited!

There are movies to look forward too instead of just dred the advertising off?

I’m only joking cause I actually have a few movies but it’s looking pretty miserable still for cinema fans.

• The Wild Robot
• Wicked
• Megalopolis (because Coppola has been talking up this movie since digital effects were invented)

Of the new films currently listed for release this year by the Odeon:

• Joker: Folie à Deux
• Gladiator 2

However, they are also showing a tonne of older films which I hope to see (although my pass only allows 4 bookings at a time, so I may need to juggle a lot to free up space for other films as I’ll go an see most genre movies too):

• All 6 Spider-Man films - I’m 2 in, 4 to go
• 10 Star Wars movies in chronological order (minus Solo which is a pity)
• A mixed bag of Batman films
• Shaun of the Dead 20th Anniversary
• Pulp Fiction 30th Anniversary
• Gladiator
• Terminator 2

I was looking forward to the borderlands movie but from what I’m hearing it’s not worth it so I might just wait it out

You could have just asked “What movies are you currently looking forward to?”

The way you asked it begs the question of whether any replies were even looking forward to that movie.

Anyway, Joker 2.

OK, terrible memory, so I had to read a quick list and this is what I’m looking forward to so far.

• Alien: Romulus — hopefully in the next few days! I’m hoping It’s not too gory, a full on horror, but I love the Alien franchise, so I can’t not see it.

• The Crow — I know everyone says it’s sacrilegious, but I’m really interested to see what they’ve done.

• Joker: Folie à Deux — Loved the first one, so this is a must-see.

• Venom: The Last Dance — The trailer reveals too much, but I’m hoping it’s better than the first sequel.

• Hellboy: The Crooked Man — Love Hellboy and what I’m hearing about this new version has me excited.

• Transformers One — This looks like it could be pretty funny, the second trailer sold me in the first thirty seconds.

Things coming soon:
- Nosferatu
- Nightbitch
- Memoir of a Snail
- Flow

Things coming way later:
- Orbital Era (Katsuhiro Otomo!)
- The Goon
- Wildwood
- Untitled Coen Brothers Horror Project

I don’t go to theaters anymore (I have a weak immune system and get sick super easily, so it’s just not worth it) and haven’t pirated in a while, so I’m permanently behind schedule on watching movies these days. That said, I am most looking forward to Alien: Romulus followed by Deadpool & Wolverine.

The pandemic sure was great for me with movies getting released directly to streaming. How I miss it.

Also looking forward to Nosferatu someday.
