Time for a look into 2007 and what my tiny brain is anticipating. Of course I'm missing a ton of stuff here but if I spelled it all out here what would I blog about the rest of the year. On a blogging note, I want to point out that you can anticipate even more postings from little old me as I just activated the mobile blogging option and I've got an LG enV phone on it's way so that means I'll be able to write quick notes to blog nonstop. So in 2007 check in and check back often cause I'm taking the Self Loathing Pop Culture Fanatic site to a whole new level.
15. Transformers (July)
This could be the train wreck of the year. Michael Bay can be good (The Rock), bad (Pearl Harbor), and laughably bad (Armageddon). Still I love the way the guy goes for broke in every single piece of film he shoots. I grew up on the Transformers and I have a deep seeded love for the rock opera Orson Welles filled animated flick but I'm willing to take the ride for this live action flick if only to watch the journey.
14. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (July)
Another new director tackles one of the more difficult books in the series. The kids are older and the darkness keeps creeping in. The films have been getting better with each one especially since the first two were utter crap, so I think it's not out of place to have high hopes for this one.
13. Ocean's 13 (June)
I loved both 11 and 12 and with the addition of Al Pacino hamming it up I think this one might take them both. Looks like Julia is MIA and that's five by five with me. Steven Soderberg flips between indy cred and Hollywood fluff better then anyone. Loving the costumes the crew is sporting in trailer.
12. The Dark Tower Prequel Comic Book (February)
I think Stephen King's Dark Tower is the most impressive work of his career. The last book was a bit of a disappointment as it felt rushed and forced. Still I think the biggest disappointment was that it was over. Now we get a reprieve as King has written a story that comic great Peter David is adapting. The art is by Jae Lee whose work I don't think always translates well to super heroes however I think it will fit Roland perfectly.
11. Against Me- Riverboat Gamblers Fake Problems
Probably my second favorite band in the land comes out with their major label debut this spring and there in lies the great question: Will they "sell out" their unique sound or will they stay true to their punk folk roots? Butch Vig is producing so that adds to the intrigue.
