EW's Fall Movie Preview

Weirdly, I just have not been so into movies lately. I had oodles of movies I meant to watch this summer and I was just...too tired to see most of them. That said, there just aren't all that many movies I find intriguing. Maybe this is just a phase.

Anyway. The weird font choices in EW's Fall Movie Preview were AWFUL. If you saw it, you know what I mean.

Obviously You Haven't Been Paying Attention

• The Last Witch Hunter (10/23)
  Why? It will be a mess, but: Vin Diesel. Elijah Wood. Michael Caine. Rose Leslie. WHAAAAAAAAAAA?!
  
  
  
• The Hunger Games: Mockingjay--Part 2 (11/20)
  Why? Action + weepiness. I will be wrecked after watching this, and possibly through the entire thing.
  
  
• Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18)
  Why? I don't think I'm allowed to not see this movie, right? Plus, we'll see if this all makes up for making Mara Jade non-canonical. THOSE BASTARDS.
  
  

Definitely, Maybe

• The Martian (10/02)
  Why? All the press on the book was pretty good. I dig a not-total-horror survivalist story.
  
  
• Jem and the Holograms (10/23)
  Why? I'm pretty sure they will be butchering my childhood, here, but it's Jem and the Holograms. If they get the Misfits right, I will watch this a quadrillion times.
  
  
• Spectre (11/06)
  Why? James Bond. Should be a fun romp, at least.
  
  
• The Night Before (11/25)
  Why? I wasn't interested at all in this--I dig JGL and Anthony Mackie, but eh. Then they posted this clip.
  
  I love this song so much.
  

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

• Pan (10/09)
  Why? Once again, Hollywood disappoints with casting white people to play people of color. This time around, Rooney Mara (who I like) is Tiger Lily. And the official line of defense, IIRC, is that Tiger Lily isn't meant to be representative of a particular tribe, but rather, they're drawing from a multitude of aboriginal traditions. That's right, cultural appropriation is their actual stance. SIGH.

I suppose I'll be using most of this season to watch the movies I meant to watch this summer? Yeah, most likely.
