What about the Manchurian Candidate? I'm actually quite disappointed they are remaking it, because... well, I hate when they remake movies that are already classics (i.e. - Psycho).
I didn't know they were remaking it. I didn't see the Psycho remake, but I think redoing it shot for shot was a horrible idea. I assume they're not going to do the same thing with the Manchurian Candidate remake.

Can not wait for Spiderman. Loved the first one, and this one should be better. Less set-up, more action. Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus-too cool! Arrrrgghhhh, I'm in geek agony! I wanna see it now!!!
And I, Robot? C'mon. I haven't seen it, but the previews sure make it look like another generic future-action movie. They've got some babe playing Susan Calvin. This crap wouldn't happen if Asimov was still alive. Why make a movie that just steals a few character names and minor concepts from a story? Why not eliminate those and just make an original piece? Ah, Hollywood.
Any other movies coming out that aren't big budget comic geek movies? I like those, too, but they're easy to miss during the ramp-up for the summer movie season.

I guess this way they're hoping they'll draw in some Asimov fans in addition to the typical sci-fi-movie-going crowd. Sure, they'll probably hate it and complain, but as long as they pay for their tickets, Hollywood doesn't care.

I can't wait until the Tenacious D movie:
"Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny"
I love every movie Jack Black has been in. He's brilliant. I saw envy a couple of weeks ago and loved it! VaPoorize!
I didn't like Spider-Man at all...Horribly overrated and over-hyped...
There was a preview for a movie in the beginning of Envy...but I can't remember what it's called. It's about a geek. That's all I know...and the preview made me feel like even more of a geek..because the guy was drawing an animal and a girl asked him what it was and he's like, "It's a liger. They're my favorite animal. It's like a cross between a lion and a tiger..." and I had been looking into ligers at the time...they're really HUGE. Biggest cats in the world. Fucking big. And they love to swim, too. Anyways...I forget what it's called...but it looks really funny.
