Scheduling

How fantastic! The Arts section of the New York Times has lists of releases for the upcoming TV season and the upcoming movie season! So, even though I wanted to write more essay-like stuff in this blog, I'm going to make another list. ;-)

In addition to the TV shows I mentioned in the last entry, this season I also want to check out a few other new shows: Lost, Desperate Housewives, Wife Swap (now here's a shocker - those are all ABC shows!), The Partner. Maybe some others, we'll see.

For the fall movie season, here's what I'm currently intrigued by (ones I'm really interested in are bolded):

• Sept 17: I'd probably watch "Mr. 3000" or "Wimbledon" for fun, and I still haven't figured out exactly what "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" is about, despite watching various trailers over a period of months.
• Sept 24: "A Dirty Shame" sounds interesting. And of course, "First Daughter." It looks cute. :)
• Oct 1: "SHARK TALE" Yay! (My next MUST-SEE)
• Oct 8: "Friday Night Lights" because by now, you should know me + baseball/football movies!
• Oct 15: "Team America: World Police" hehehehe.
• Oct 22: I think I remember watching a trailer for "Surviving Christmas." I don't remember what I thought. But I think right now, I'm a sucker for any Christmas comedy where they play jolly Christmas music. They were playing Christmas songs on Sleepless in Seattle and I was happy.
• Nov. 5: "Alexander" is hyped, but for me, this day belongs to Pixar - "The Incredibles"! Finally. :)
• Nov 10: "The Polar Express" - ZERO interest in the "Seed of Chucky." Ick.
• Nov 19: "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" and "Spongebob Squarepants" - what am I going to do now?
• Nov 24: Hmm. Maybe it wasn't "Surviving Christmas" I remember thinking would be funny, but "Christmas with the Kranks"? Since that's based on the novel "Skipping Christmas"? Too much confusion. I think it was "Christmas with the Kranks."
• Dec 10: I just saw a trailer this week for "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou." I haven't decided what I think of it yet. And "Ocean's Twelve" opens this day.
• Dec 17: There's buzz about "The Aviator." And "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events." (Isn't that what the Bloomingdale's windows are going to be?) "The Onion Movie"?!
• Dec 22: "Meet the Fockers"! Teehee. Oh, and "Phantom of the Opera."
• Dec 25: Ooh. "Pride and Prejudice" meets Bollywood in "Bride and Prejudice"? Never heard of it, but intriguing. Very interesting.
• And the calendar goes beyond the 4 months of the upcoming movie season! To reveal such intriguing movies such as "Robots" (March 11), "Kingdom of Heaven" (May 6 - Orlando Bloom), Star Wars Episode III (May 19), "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (June 3), "Batman Begins" (June 17), "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (July 15 - okay, now we're cutting it close to the bar exam), and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" (Dec 25). All these dates are probably going to change, but how exciting!

I reserve the right to add many more movies to my list of movies I'd be interested in seeing. :) What's the current list of movies that are out that I want to see? (based on the currently showing list on metacritic) - Around the World in 80 Days, Bourne Supremacy, Day after Tomorrow, Dodgeball, Fahrenheit 9/11, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Harry Potter 3 (saw), Hero, I Robot, King Arthur, Manchurian Candidate (saw), Mean Girls, Spiderman 2. That list is good for reminding me for the next DVD season. ;-)

Okay, I really should sleep instead of thinking about all the movies I want to watch. Clearly I'm addicted to films, since I watched 3 movies today. :)
