no no girls, continue on your cougar note swapping.
Thanks RR but I'm putting us back on track. Here's a list of ALL 2012 movie releases, including the ones you listed.
I see in August the "Bourne Legacy" will be released. I absolutely love (and own) the Bourne Trilogy but sorry, there is only one Jason Bourne IMHO so I'll pass on going to the movie. I may see it when it comes to HBO but don't have desire to go out and see it.
Not on this year's list but I am looking forward to next year to see Stephen King's 11-22-63.

Actually I'm intrigued by BOURNE LEGACY because for two reasons:
(1) Directed by Tony Gilroy, who was the only screenwriter to have had a hand writing all the previous BOURNE pictures. He's been on Team Bourne longer than Paul Greengrass was. And as a director he directed the very good MICHAEL CLAYTON and the underseen fun DUPLICITY. He's good with actors, and if he really has a good idea for BOURNE....what am I to doubt him?
(2) It's got a really good cast. Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton, Rachel Weisz.
BTW, has anyone notice Renner is now Hollywood's go-to-spy? First he was in the last (quite decent) MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE picture, then AVENGERS as assasssin marksman Hawkeye, and later this summer BOURNE LEGACY.
I agree with the cast though I'm not all that familiar with Renner. In particular I really like Edward Norton. I'll look for your review after you see it.

Yesterday AVENGERS crossed $400 million domestically in 14 days (record), tracked to cross $450 m this weekend (record, 10 days of the record-holder), and now officially worldwide Disney's biggest grossing hit ever. #6 biggest hit in history.
BATTLESHIP is not going to have a good weekend. You sunk my movie!
Could AVENGERS threaten AVATAR's all-time box-office crown? If that happens, will James Cameron hulk out and destroy Burbank?
With Hollywood depending increasingly on the burdgeoning untraditional foreign markets like Russia, we get awkward (if amusing) TV appearances like these.
I discovered Larry Williams through his Game of Thrones reviews which are incredibly enthusiastic and unspoiled. Here he does his Avengers video review.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
It does raise a question: Why would somebody as beautiful as Charlize Theron (the evil Queen) be desperately to kill a mediocre teen-idol-of-the-day Kristen Stewart? I mean Stewart I guess is hot, if the look of frequent constipation is now considered sexy.
So we got a new Spider-Man picture in July, with Andrew Garfield the new Peter Parker. So who does VMAN magazine get to interview Garfield? The previous Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire.
On Monday night the History Channel will air the first installment of its original series, "The Hatfields and McCoys." I don't watch tv series, but hope to make an exception for this. This feud is a lively and fascinating slice of American history.
Also, SB, I know you're a fan of The Great Gatsby. I understand a new film is on its way with DiCaprio. I don't know if it's for tv or the theatre. I don't know who'll play Tom Buchanan, but I thought Bruce Dern did a good job in the 70s.
The Great Gatsby, I believe, is the quintessential American novel.

It's out Christmas, from Baz Luhrmann (MOULIN ROUGE!)
Leo is Gatsby, his former party buddy Tobey Maguire is Nick Carraway, and Carey Mulligan is Daisy Buchanan. Tom Buchanan is being played by the relatively obscure in comparison Joel Edgerton.
i wonder if leo will get his oscar this year, many thought he might with j. edgar last year. if anything though it looks far more interesting than the redford film.
Bad news: G.I. JOE RETALIATION(supposed to come out next month)has been postponed to release in spring 2013 instead so it can be converted to 3-D.
Bullshit.
Why do I say that? Because a movie (especially summer fare) that isn't post-production converted to 3-D is the exception, not the rule. Christopher Nolan was able to release THE DARK KNIGHT RISES w/o that 3-D garbage only because he has power, got WB by the balls.
G.I. JOE 2 has been more or less in the can (i.e. finished) for over a year. And Paramount/Hasbro had not post-converted it to 3-D yet? Nobody is that massively incompetent or stupid, not even in Hollywood.
No if you want my gut feeling (w/o hard proof), I think the movie was test previewed somewhere and it flopped. The studio shat their pants, especially Hasbro since their recent movie BATTLESHIP sank in theatres. With that in mind, they pressed the panic button and decided to coup their loses, have it come out next spring in a less-crowded movie release season. If my armchair theory is apt, then this means inevitable reshooting, recutting, all that.
You know what's funny though? Apparently GI JOE RETALIATION figures already shipped. Will we see Slurpee cups and stuff in the coming weeks despite the delay?
Anyway too bad about this news. Sure the first G.I. JOE movie sucked, but I had some modest hopes for the sequel. I'm all for a good live action, big budget saturday morning cartoon adventure. The keywood being "good."
Plus Bruce Willis and The Rock kicking ass? What's not to like?
Thanks, Klyd. I think Leonardo will make an interesting Gatsby. I just saw Blood Diamond for the first time in several years and was so impressed with him all over again.
When I saw Michelle Williams at all the awards shows this year, I thought she would be a perfect Daisy.
MEN IN BLACK 3 (and it's reported $300 million pricetag) is the big release out this weekend, and actually getting better-than-expected reviews.
But the interesting story to follow might be Wes Anderson's MOONRISE KINGDOM, it made $175,000 from four theatres, for a single day PTA of $43,750. An opening day PTA record for a live-action movie. If this keeps up, it can break DREAMGIRLS' record for biggest weekend PTA for a live-action non-Disney movie. ($126,316)
Bill Murray (who's in the movie) did this funny clip for YT.
“Stay away from the water, bro!” Syfy’s genre-busting summer film Jersey Shore Shark Attack now has a guido-chomping trailer. The film stars Tony Sirico (The Sopranos), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Jack Scalia (Dallas), Joey Fatone (‘N Sync), William Atherton (Die Hard) and Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino (playing an enthusiastic reporter). The movie unfolds during the July 4 weekend at the Jersey Shore, where angry sharks are on a rampage, devouring residents, leaving it to the locals to save the day. The film debuts Saturday, June 9. There was a leaked trailer floating around from the show’s overseas distributor, but here’s your first official look from Syfy:
Hey, I love NJ! It's nothing like what's portrayed on TV (at least where I am, most of the time). We're getting the "New Yawka" stereotype treatment I guess
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol

And I know you've been thinking about it for a while, but unless you just hate NY, also consider Staten Island -- Cardi's territory -- it's like 90/10 NJ if you wanna start more slowly. But I think taxes and gas are easier here....

It'd be nice to live closer to Don Cardi but Staten Island doesn't appeal to me. I found a few listings in Washington, NJ (out north and west) that look OK.
Washington NJ is like living in the woods... that's FAR from here AND there!! If that's okay with you, then fine; but good luck getting a good pizza or anything else in no-mans-land. Seriously, that's WAY out there; might as well move to Pennsy/Poconos at that point....
