      Martin McDonagh’s Seven Psychopaths is set to come out later this year. If his last movie, In Bruges, was any indication it should be pretty fantastic. I just hope he hasn’t switch to film for good this time.  He’s one of the few people still doing new, interesting things in theatre.

      I am very much looking forward to Paul Thomas Anderson’s film, The Master. I was also excited for Tarantino’s Django Unchained until I saw the first trailer. Now, not so much.

  13. Flavors

      Aw come on… the trailer made it look kinda great in my opinion. Blaxploitationy almost. I’m excited.

      In addition to those two, I’m looking forward to Looper, because Rian Johnson and that premise. Also Beasts of the Southern Wild. Also a whole bunch of other ones.

      I’ll still see it, for sure. I just wish I could be more excited about it. Maybe it was the music in the trailer that did this to me. Without that I probably would’ve maintained my level of anticipation for it.

      Looper looks pretty great! It’s definitely a much better year for movies than last year.

      EVERY LOVE STORY IS A GHOST STORY

      batman even though batman returns > nolan

      spider-man, i guess. at least he’s hot

      if bright eyes or mgmt put out anything i’ll want to buy that

      i highly anticipated mad men but it’s over, and prometheus but it sucked

      mostly though i’m just excited about every love story is a ghost story

  26. postitbreakup

      yes the master fuck yeah

      magnolia, boogie nights, fucking there will be blood, now a religion movie, he’s amazing

      also i think charlie kaufman has something coming out too?

  27. postitbreakup

      i’m really curious how similar the style will be and of course if there’ll be any dirty parts

      I think Charlie Kaufman’s movie is either coming out later this year or early next year. It’s called Frank or Francis.

  29. jtc

       what did you think of the people’s key? i assume good things. i thought it was one of the best albums–as a whole–that i’d ever heard. but i don’t expose myself to very much, and am mostly hanging onto those bands i listened to in high school or college and still find value in. i have been listening to iron & wine’s and mewithoutYou’s newest albums, and man…thematically, it is like a freaky mystic trinity, those three.

      i am not looking forward to anything that’s coming out this year, that i can think of, really. but, i will be going to see batman. didn’t know about the master, but will prob see that. i suppose if any of my favorite artists or authors or directors are doing anything this year, and i find out about it, i will be excited for that! i wish that dfw had another book to read.

  30. Taylor Napolsky

      I never thought about that. But yeah, I think the book will be good. She’s a great writer and clearly took her time with it.

  31. Taylor Napolsky

      I’ve heard such mixed things about Promethius. Some love it but I’ve heard it’s bad too.

      Dislike regarding BR>Nolan.

      what’s every love story is a ghost story? I’ll have to google that.

  32. Taylor Napolsky

      He never will though.

  33. jtc

       who knows man–i was pretty pissed to see new stuff added to the trade pb of The Pale King. i mean, excited but pissed too. for some stupid reason did not think they’d pull that shit.

  34. Taylor Napolsky

      Ha true. As I wrote that comment I thought in my head, “I really haven’t the slightest idea if he has more posthumous work coming out.”
