Sort of the flip side to the "Looking Forward" thread. Are there any movies coming out that make you cringe at the very thought?
For me, it's the new INDIANA JONES movie. I had anticipated it for so long, but then I saw a few clips from it, and all hopes were dashed. Because the action sequences I saw were all CGI rendered. And CGI, to me, spells doom for an action picture.
It sank the last DIE HARD movie, as well as the previous two James Bond outings......simply put, computer generated action sequences are BORING. Because the human eye can too easily recognize when something doesn't look quite "right", and suddenly you're shocked back out of the moment.
Give me a good, well executed stunt over some guy sitting and clicking a mouse at his computer console any day.
Sorry, Indy, but I think I'll pass this time....

The Birds.
A remake of Alfred Hithcock's masterpiece film.
Didn't the studios learn anything when the tried that idea with Pyscho remake only to see the movie bomb?

Well that was more of a bomb because Gus Van Sant was experimenting with replicating a film, which I would think is different than remaking one. While I'm not looking forward to 2009's The Birds, I think that it could be a great film. Granted, some remakes are unneeded and/or awful, but there are others that are great. Hitchcock himself has remade other films, including some of his own.

I read that Speilberg was staying away from CGI as much as possible. I didn't really see any CGI in the trailer either, apart from the bizarre looking fake background in one of the sequences.

Any action scene with Ford in it will have no CGI he made it clear that his stunts will be live action.
For James Bond i thought it was great, fail to see the CGI in it as it was mostly story and classy JB the way it was suppose to be.
As for Die Hard ive seen at least one of the olds ones and i think their all great.

Not looking forward to any more movies made by the pair who made Spartans and Super Heroes. Someone take their camera away.

Anything produced by Scary Movie, or any of it's writers.
They suck. Bad.

Im not looking forward to anymore Hollywood remakes of Japanese Horror movies. Every single one of them tries to replicate The Grudge or The Ring. Im sick of it!!!

...any more of the horror/torture porn movies that have come out over the past several years.
You know, the movies where the whole premise is...I'm going to kill you -- for fun -- as slowly, messily, scarily and painfully as possible. How can a decent person sit through this kind of thing?!?!?
Aren't there any more Forrest Gump movies to come along?

You took the words right out of my mouth. No need for further comment.

Speed Racer.
I can't get past the fact that this was my brother's favorite cartoon when he was like, three years old. Back then we didn't call imported Japanese cartoons anime, and they weren't artsy, they were cheap cartoons with bad dubbing.
X-Files.
I want to believe, I really do. But I remember the mess that was the last two seasons, and that frightens me more than the episode with the freaks in rural Pennsylvania.
