the_dala at 10:55am on 18/01/2008Just what it sounds like - all of this year's upcoming movies whose trailers are making me squee uncontrollably. (Yes, I'm dying to see Indiana Jones too, but its trailer's not out yet). A lot of them happen to be sequels, interestingly enough.
The Dark Knight - Yeah, yeah, like everybody else. Batman's always been my least favorite superhero, but the last one was pretty freaking awesome. It doesn't hurt that they've traded Katie Holmes for the far more appealing Maggie Gyllenhal. And of course, I've been dying to see Heath Ledger's Joker ever since they announced the casting. Since I've been in love with Heath since 1995, it's particularly gratifying to watch the rest of the world catch up. I probably wouldn't care as much if he weren't in it.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army - The first Hellboy was surprisingly good, and after 'Pan's Labyrinth' Guillermo del Toro can do no wrong. I predict this sequel will make a much bigger impact than the original.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - Eeeeee Narnia! Will have to reread the book before it comes out. It looks to be just as visually stunning as the first one, and I will try not resent its inevitable success on behalf of 'The Golden Compass' failure.
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay - My love for Kal Penn and John Cho has only grown since they first embodied these stoner icons, and I'm totally jazzed about their return. I admit that this one has probably the highest probability of not living up to the original, and there's not really much in the trailer - but it DOES have Neil Patrick Harris.
Mamma Mia - I actually don't know the show, but I do know that people love it, and my fondness for Amanda Seyfried makes me hope this is a breakout role for her. Plus it's got Dakin from 'The History Boys,' lots of music and a gorgeous setting. Looks like good fun.
Sex and the City - I know nothing about the plot they've kicked up for this, other than Carrie's wedding to Big, but I don't really care. I just want to see Sam being hot with Smith Jerrod and Miranda being awesome at life, and ridiculous designer clothing, and some good New York footage.
Leatherheads - A screwball football comedy with George Clooney (also directing), John Krasinski and Renee Zellweger. What's not to love there?
Also, 'The Other Boleyn Girl' is coming out soon and I'm torn. It doesn't look very good, but Peter Morgan wrote 'The Queen' and 'The Last King of Scotland,' so I dunno.
I have to get to the movies more this year. I'm going to be mostly lost come Oscar time (although I did see 'Atonement,' 'Sweeney Todd,' 'Enchanted,' and 'Juno' over break, and they were all awesome).
Johnny Depp donated $2 million to the London hospital that treated his daughter, and hung out with the kids for a few hours. Dressed as Jack Sparrow. I love him so, so much. (Although if it hadn't been such a secret visit, I could've gone up and been admitted for my scary demon eyes and drooled all over him in person.)

As for going to see Johnny and using your pink eye as an excuse, I would have gone with you! I don't want pink eye again, but I do have a titanium rod threatening to poke out of the back of my head.
