JCC Which film do you most want to see this holiday season?

if other, please specify

In my case: The Pyramid.

you know it's gonna be great

 

I'm keen to see the Hobbit get wrapped up. It's going to be yet another big-budget popcorn-eating mess of an adaptation but I had fun with the last one. I'd say Interstellar but I'm just not that keen on another Nolan-helmed big concept movie that invariably gets clunky at the end.

 

The Hobbit duhhhh!

 

Just changed my mind, I forgot Inherent Vice is out in December.

 

Inherent Vice. Trailer looked great and I am really curious to see if someone can pull off a Pynchon story

 

The Hobbit. I'm really excited for it.

 

I really thought this thread was just going to be about the Grumpy Cat christmas movie

 

Easily The Hobbit.

 

Scrooged.

 

Most would be Interstellar which is out this week.

 

inherent vice for me too.

 

Whatever Jennifer Lawrence is in this year.

 

Oh right, JLaw's latest is out soon...which will probably be better for a view on Netflix next year.

 

Hunger Games is a dumb franchise, though, and even fans of the books don't seem to like the last entry.

Of those listed, I'm not particularly looking forward to any of them. Interstellar is going to be a mess. Hobbit is already a mess. Exodus is another "WHITE GUYS LEADING AN AFRICAN NATION IN 1,000 BCE" adaptation we don't need. Aren't there books in the Bible other than Genesis, Exodus, and the Gospels? I'm not generally into musicals, so I'm unexcited about a Disneyfied adaptation of Into the Woods.

Inherent Vice looks maybe interesting? But I don't really know anything about it.

 

I hear Interstellar is like a really terrible M. Night flick.

 

Vice for me too. Anderson and Pynchon. That's a combo

 

Yeah, Inherent Vice sounds interesting enough to warrant a view. I'll probably see Interstellar even though I'm already primed to leave the theater disappointed.

 

I love Paul Thomas Anderson, so I'll most likely check out Inherent Vice as well.

It's by P.T.A right? I mean, if Wes Anderson were doing it, I'd totes be at the midnight showing. If Paul W.S. Anderson were doing it, I'd get savagely drunk.

 

yeah after There Will Be Blood I'd expect this one to be major Oscar bait.

 

Gee, ya think?

 

yes

 

Hobbit!

 

The new Rifftrax take on "Santa Claus".

 

The Imitation Game.

Comes out on the same day as the Hungry Games picture show, so I have that going for me.
