Movies.

Starting off from youngest to oldest:

First off, Toy Story 3.

Nothing excites me more than raising my middle finger to children with the "back in my day" mentality. All these little Wall-E and Finding Nemo Disney kids have no idea what to expect when millions of young adults and college students invade their territory and drop some serious knowledge on them.


Tron Legacy. This brings out like no other my nerd side. I love Jeff Bridges (so topical!), and I'm glad to see him come back as the crazy, (most likely) stoned bastard he is to reprise the best remake this year. Nothing says you're slightly original by making a movie that ADDS to the first movie by having it be shinier.


Iron Man 2. I have never even seen the first one, but:
A. I love Robert Downey Jr.
B. I love Mickey Rourke looking very Mickey Rourke-esque.
C. What the fuck happened to Don Cheadle?


Robin Hood. Now what bothers me about this (and consequently intrigues me) is that the original concept for this movie was called "Nottingham". Crowe was suppose to play the Sheriff of Nottingham and the villain was Robin Hood. I'm not sure how that wouldn't have worked better but I'm interested to see how a slightly bloated Australian is going to play the hero was known to be nimble as a fox.


Finally Inception. Years ago a friend introduced me to Momento, and at the time I discredited. I look back now and realize that Christopher Nolan is truly the most original big budget man in Hollywood. To this moment now, I still have no fucking clue what this movie is about, but I'm faithful enough to believe that whatever this is, it will be fantastic.
