Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, good mother, good-looking, good-tempered, well-groomed, and unaggressive. - Leslie M. McIntyre

Sadly, the summer 2008 movie selection is as old and tired as the 2007 lineup (or lack thereof!). Can't Hollywood come up with anything better than remaking Indiana Jones and other silly action-for-the-sake-of-action movies and provide us with some compelling, thought-provoking, intelligent storytelling??? We're living in a vacuum here folks -- even my Netflix queue is drying up!!!

Even sadder is the fact that, given the chance, I can't even go to the same movies with Lori since I can't relate to the superhero silliness. Is it too much to ask for something of substance that talks about living in the here and now, and is perhaps infused with a bit of humor or pathos???

Geesh...okay, off my soapbox now! Always good to see Sarah and Lori, even if they don't bring good news on the movie front...

Baby Mama with Tina Fey :D

and of course The X Files 2 and I want to see the SATC movie.

those are the only movies I'm looking forward to

Good that you're back again :)

Anne Hathaway *drools* and Steve Carell seem like an odd pairing, but I'm sure it will be funny. Plus, The Rock is going to be in it too. He's my fav.

P.S. I love the "Indignant Bunny" shirt Lori!

If I ever start to think straight, this heart will start a riot in me.

first it was your mom bashing cocky with a shovel...

now it's you wanting to shoot a bird with a gun =/

what's with this familial animal/bird hating thing? haha

anywho..I totally agree with you on the whole marvel superhero crap. We need something new.

And I'm excited to see Wanted and the one pant that miraculously fits everyone in every shape and size with Blake Lively in it.

Great SMMWT! Since I work at a movie theater I'm probably going to watch all of the movies you mentioned (if they play them here...). But I'm really looking forward to:

-Wanted (Bridget McManus YAY!)
-Kung Fu Panda
-Sex and the City - The Movie
-Mamma Mia!
-Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Yea, those are my highlights for this summer :)

PS: I hope your cold gets better soon Sarah!

The Strangers - based off a true story.
Quaratine.

Others are Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?(By Morgan Spurlock who did Supersize Me.), Wanted, Ironman, Eagle Eye, The Dark Knight&Righteous Kill. Oh, and Saw 5 in October. :)

I was happily surprised by a small amount of lesbianism in 88 minutes. Yum.

I am looking forward to, first and foremost, $10 movie ticket prices back in California. New York is ridiculous yo.

Anyway, I want to see Indiana Jones, Get Smart, Dark Knight (Heath Ledger :(), maybe Narnia (though I liked the books way more, but this tends to be true for most movie adaptations of books I watch), and maybe Wanted... and the rest you mentioned I might watch on DVD or illegally online. I mean, what?

Oh and by the way, the Christian reference in Narnia doesn't bother me at all, really. I used to joke that I went by "WWAD" (What Would Aslan Do). He seems nicer anyway (and he's a big furry lion!), if you're white and descendants of Adam and Eve. er..

And when you were talking about Baghead it reminded me of the scary boy with a sack over his head in The Orphanage . I shudder.

But, uh... Lori, you really want to see Ironman? :P When the previews came up in Resident Evil and Ironman was speeding away in the sky or whatever (which is physically impossible! I know it's cinema but ahh!!) and his voiceover was like "I AM IRONMAN" my friends and I burst out laughing. But it's okay! I don't judge!

Hope you feel better soon, Sarah! I am actually just getting over a cold myself...right in time to work on final papers. whee.

omg, inbd

baby mama. do you wanna see it?... cause its Tina Fey, nuff said.

the only movies on my list you didn't mention are

Smart People, The Tracy Fragments and Walle :D

Ohh, I love Journey to the Center of the Earth!  I'm not really excited about the remake though.  Most likely will be waiting for it to release on DVD.  I mean, it's not Journey to the Center of the Earth without the accordeon-playing and bagpipe corneyness.

And The Day the Earth Stood Still comes out later this year too.  Woot.

Prince Caspian, in my opinion, is the best of the books.  It's much darker than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. That's my summer must-see that I'll be in the theatres for definitely.

_________

I think if I had to choose, I would rather go see Lori's list than Sarah's. Well, apart from Indiana Jones, and Ironman. The latter just seems boring and dumb.

Loved the graphs, Lori. Good to see they're back.

Who doesn't blog these days?

There's nothing better than finding your vblog here after a terrible day. I am looking forward to the X-Files as well!

So glad to have back!

sarah and lori=so cute! i'd like to see wanted, baby mama, and the x files 2.

loved the vlog as always

For those of you that don't know the awesomness of Speed Buggy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGSkVqpVYpM there you go.

When I was younger my mom had old tapes of it and no one my age had any idea what I was talking about! After the tapes dissappeared I thought maybe I was confusing Speed Racer a bit. Glad to see I am not alone! Does anyone else think it came from the same animation studio as the original Scooby Doo? I just noticed that the voice cast is totally the same.

I'm not a see it in theaters type so it has to have a really great trailer to get me to skip on waiting for the DVD. I do like to see sci-fi/action in the big screen for the awesome sound effects so the summer season is probably the only time I'll get out and go. My first job was working as an usher and after seeing what people do in the dark you'd be sour on theaters as well! X-Files, Iron Man, Batman, and Indy are pretty much my to do list every thing else I can wait for. I'm so glad the wait for dvd releases have shortend.

"Yo! Let's squash this beef at the Dune Sea!"

I have to say this. You two are so cute together. So in tune with each other yet so different.

My summer movies are:  1)Indiana Jones (I'm a Harrison Ford fan) 2)Wanted(Angelina and BRIDGET!) 3) X-files  (I'm a fan and hope to see Gillian's new hairstyle) 4)The Mummy(I can't believe their making another one)  5) Sex and the City. (I have a crush on Sarah Jessica Parker)

Sarah, my mom was walking through the living room while I was watching the vlog and she thought I was listening to Ellen on my computer -- you were the one talking at the time. I thought it was funny, but then again, I am far too easily entertained. I told her that no, it was not Ellen she heard, but Sarah Warn, creater of the bigest lesbian web site online (yeah, I actually said that lol). Five minutes later she walks through the room again and says she really sounds like Ellen! I don't really think you do . . . but I thought it was funny that she thought you did.

Do all lesbians sound the same to straight people?

I am really looking forward to seeing the Bridget McManus Angelina Jolie movie!

Speed Racer is going to be a fancy glossy Dukes of Hazzard but they will make bankrolls. Oh and The Longshots is directed by Fred "Limp Bizkit" Durst....thats pretty interesting.

I also want to see:

Son of Rambow....kids re-enacting Rambo with guerilla style camera work....I think many of the vloggers might enjoy this.

The Happening....M Night Shyamalan gets to push the envelope so I'm curious if this will disappoint me as much as his last - Lady In The Water and also Matt Reeve's - Cloverfield.

The Rocker.....with Christina Applegate and Rainn Wilson should be funny.

Wanted - 30% for Ms Jolie, 70% for Ms McManus <3

SATC - Obviously!!

Mamma Mia - Sing-song :)

Gillian in a tie carrying Mulder-swoon.

I'm looking forward to Indian Jones 4, Iron Man, Dark Knight, Incredible Hulk (though he looks like a big emo), Mamma Mia, Get Smart and X-Files and can't think of anything else off hand. Baby Mama will come out here in a few weeks, so don't know if that counts as a summer film over in the States. I'm seeing that purely for Sigourney Weaver.

Wondering if the Happening is just going to be anti climatic.

Venn diagram=hilarious...but useful!

You are not the only one who´s over Angelina Jolie... I´m watching that movie just for Bridget and I too loved The Mummy (Rachel Weisz?? HOOOOT)

I used to watch Birds of Prey just cause of the lead actress but it actually grew on me.

Sarah ranting about theater slots going to stupid movies and Lori´s Venn Diagram were awesome.

Glad to have you back enlightening us with your opinions about sucky movies!

I'm very much looking forward to Wanted... what with Angelina Jolie & Bridget McManus in the movie, I'll be getting 2 for the price of 1... two of the most attractive women gracing the big screen in what looks to be one Hell of an action packed film! 

I'm also looking forward to seeing what will be made of the foray back to the big screen for the X-Files, after having been a longtime fan of the series and of Gillian Anderson as Scully!

Also on my radar: Iron Man, Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (for Cate Blanchett), Get Smart (a nice departure from all the action of summer), Hellboy II: The Golden Army (loved the first one, enjoyed Selma Blair in it), The Dark Knight (Christian Bale is always great in everything and it'll be very interesting to see the late Heath Ledger's work in this movie). I'm not sure about The Happening but since it stars Zooey Deschanel I might just have to see this one. Finally, Speed Racer looks kind of interesting, in particular Christina Ricci being in the film.

And while it's not your typical "summer release", plus I'm not sure of the release date, I'm looking forward to the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler film Baby Mama.

(Self Appointed) "#1 Bridget McManus Fan"

Batman, Hulk, Ironman, hellboy (come on)  X-files, the happening

 Lori, I've never been an Angelina fan.

I wish you 2 would Vlog about Bad Girls Season 1 - 3.  Or have the WGN group do it.  It is such a good love story with Helen and Niki, and eventhough Scribegrrrl recapped it, I  don't think AfterEllen went far enough talking about it.  Just a wish on my part.

Tristen

I agree and I'd like to order the t-shirt that says exactly that when it comes out, please.

Your friend,
