My favorite movie of the year so far is Hanna.

Ugh. I just hate the horrid weather we're having in Vancouver. Can someone ask Summer to come west already? Or, is she planning a sabbatical?

I can't wait to see We Need to Talk About Kevin and Crazy Stupid Love

If I had Captain America's shield, I would take it to the beach and play frisbee with it. (Provided that summer arrives here at some point,)

Christopher Plummer will win the Oscar for in February but they really should've won for The Insider.

My favorite movie of the year so far is HOW I ENDED THIS SUMMER

Ugh. I just hate the weather this summer.

I can't wait to see A DANGEROUS METHOD.

If I had Captain America's shield, I would exchange it for Batmobile.

Christopher Plummer and Glenn Close will win the Oscar for "Beginners" and "Albert Nobbs" in February but they really should've won for "The Insider" and "Dangerous Liaisions".

Derreck, you did fine. I love the idea of people making a case for why *they* should've already won an Oscar. ;)

Bryan -- i hate that too. When you stop to think that (one of my friends told me this) the flop Judy Moody and the NOT bummer summer made more than Tree of Life. It is to weep.

Jorge -- ingenious. And given Meryl's place as a national treasure, it's even patriotic!

My favorite movie of the year so far is The Tree of Life or Harry Potter-can't decide, two MASSIVELY different movies.

Ugh. I just hate Eric Cantor, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell-take your pick on which is most.

I can't wait to see Melancholia, I think, of all the movies coming up.

If I had Captain America's shield, I would use it as an ice breaker while trying to pick up Scott Evans.

Emanuel Lubezki will win the Oscar for The Tree of Lifein February but they really should've won for Children of Men...and let's face it The Tree of Life too-this should be a second Oscar.

My favorite movie of the year so far is either Harry Potter 8 or Midnight in Paris.

Ugh. I just hate that people keep saying Cars 2 is the first bad Pixar movie - did anyone actually watch the first Cars?

I can't wait to see Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, 50/50 and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I'm actually looking forward to most of this years coming attractions... Weird.

If I had Captain America's shield, I would take out distributors who refuse to have things come out here in Australia when they do in the States - still no Jane Eyre!

Fincher will win the Oscar for TGWTDT in February but they really should've won for Se7en.

If I had Captain America's shield, I would start a political blog with the goal being to get into a flame-war with every other political blog.

I can't wait to see (tie) A Dangerous Method and On the Road.

If I had Captain America's shield, I would destroy Tim Burton's post-millenium film canon.

Glenn Close will win the Oscar for Albert Nobbs in February but they really should've won for Dangerous Liaisons (it still hurts.).

If I had Captain America's shield, I would FIX THE DEBT CEILING

GLENN CLOSE will win the Oscar for ALBERT NOBBS in February but they really should've won for THE BIG CHILL.

July 22, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSam C.

My favorite movie of the year so far is Beginners.

Ugh. I just hate the Spider-Man trailer.

I can't wait to see Contagion, The Iron Lady, and J. Edgar.

I don't know the first thing about Captain America's shield, because I couldn't care less about the film.

Michelle Williams will win the Oscar for My Week With Marilyn in February but she really should've won for Brokeback Mountain.

July 22, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBen

My favorite movie of the year so far is "Paul" (yeah, that's right)

Ugh. I just hate that Jennifer Aniston left TV for movies...

I can't wait to see "Carnage."

If I had Captain America's shield, I would deflect all new incoming Natalie Portman movies for the next year (or whenever I stop being sick of her).

Glenn Close will win the Oscar for Albert Nobbs in February but they really should've won for "The Big Chill." (How can so many people say Glenn, and yet I'm the only one who answered with "The Big Chill"?)

July 22, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAlex

Believe me, I hate the Spider-Man trailer too. If they were going to revive it, I would have expected them to go with something lighter, something...quippier. Instead we're getting an even darker reboot. The best scene of the first two movies I saw: The wrestling match. That was what got my hopes up that we could get an actual full Spider-Man adaptation, a decent mixture of quips and drama. Instead...once Uncle Ben dies, he's all serious, all the time. To go darker is redundant and stupid.

Source code

The kings speech winning over social network, black swan, inception and 127 hours.

Super 8, rise of the planet of the apes, project nim, another earth, the dark knigth rises, avengers and the hobbit.

I would make a pipe out of it somehow.

Leo will win but should have won with aviator and revolutionary road
