O/T Now that Zodiac or whatever it's going to be called
Kd5000:
isn't coming out until JAN. What movies are BROKIES looking forward to seeing in the 2nd half of the year. I'm looking forward to seeing THE FOUNTAIN, a philsophical movie in which the character drinks from the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH and lives for many centuries. It's done by the same director who did PI and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Doens't sound like there will be any gay subplot, but sounds most interesting.

The website for the film is visually very intersting.
Anybody else have films there looking forward to in the Fall season?

I'm looking forward to Half Nelson, which I just read about for the first time this morning. Ryan Gosling plays a 30 something middle school teacher who is a crack addict by night... it's getting great reviews and I'm a big fan of Ryan Gosling. It's supposedly much less Stand and Deliver or Dead Poet's Society than it sounds...

I'm looking forward to "The Fountain," too. I love Darron Aronofsky's movies. And to "Little Miss Sunshine" with Greg Kinnear and Toni Collette (I'm going to watch it in spite of Steve Carell, honestly). My Entertainment Weekly "Fall Preview Issue" showed "Candy" as being released here in October, I think it is, so of course I'm looking forward to that one. "The Good German" also looks very interesting - I'm going to see that one in spite of George Clooney. I'm probably in a vast minority on this one, but I can't stand him. I can always see him acting and it bugs the bejesus out of me. But Cate Blanchett, Tobey Maguire (playing against type again, I understand) and Beau Bridges are in it, all of whom I *love*, and it was written by Paul Attanasio, whose feet I would kiss if I ever met him for writing one of my favorite screenplays ever ("Quiz Show") and directed by Steven Soderbergh. The similarly titled "The Good Shepherd" with Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie (and directed by Robert DeNiro) looks promising, too.

Little Miss Sunshine looks very good... it unfortunately hasn't gotten very good reviews however (not that that necessarily means anything)
I also love Darron Aronofsky... Pi is one of my favorite movies, I'll watch anything he does. This thread is the first time I've heard of fountain.
Is it too early to say I'm looking forward to Spiderman III? Kiersten Dunst aside, I love Spiderman and the comics with Venom are some of my favorites, when I saw the movie had Venom in it I started to re read them all...
Ellemeno:
Little Miss Sunshine IS good, even better than I expected. And I predict that those of you who can't stand Steve Carell will like him in this.
Besides Candy, which I'm looking forward to/dreading (because of intense subject matter), here are four films that sound good to me (click on each to see more):
The U.S. vs. John Lennon
49 Up
Fast Food Nation
Running with Scissors
