I don't usually follow titles as they're in production, so I don't typically start anticipating films until they're done and showing up in previews. The only title I think I remember being interested in seeing is the Chris Rock film based on Eric Rohmer.

For the love of God will Sir Ridley win his Oscar already...
No offense Jack but I dearly hope that once Scorsese has his oscar we are not in for years of the masses clamouring for Ridley Scott to win one. While I find Scorsese's body of work overrated on balance, he at least has a distinct voice and talent, as well as an admirable commitment to and knowledge of cinema history.

Scott's work relies on flashy photography and shallow characterization and I'd have been happy if he'd carried on his entire career as he started, making 30 second TV commercials - taking time out only to make Alien and Thelma & Louise.

And I say this of a fellow Northeast Englander!

I'm also looking forward to I Could Never Be Your Woman, Amy Heckerling's first film in over a decade, with two of Hollywood's most beautiful people, Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd. Although it's been delayed for months, the trailer makes it look pretty good.

Tell me why, please

Anderson is a director who is more blatently pretentious than Inirritu; every single frame has a "Look, Ma! I'm making a film!" vibe to it that is vomitously off-putting; he's so in love with his own self-perceived talents that he fails to recognize that his "characters" are nothing more than types or that his technique--taking the worst aspects of Altman and Lynch and throwing them into a blender--isn't "revelatory" but, rather, derivative and just plain silly. After the first ten minutes of Magnolia, I wanted to slit my own throat.
I was so caught by the story and so moved by the characteres, that I couldn´t perceive your observations.
