Could be.

 

[Drizzle]

Last year's movies weren't depressing. "There Will Be Blood" was a rip-roarin' barrel of laughs! But as far as this year goes, "W" will be hilarious and "Quantum of Solace" looks to kick quite a bit of ass.

I'm looking forward to Burn After Reading, Body of Lies and Saw V.

 

[Soapy]

The only ones I'm looking forward to are Body of Lies, Quantum of Solace, and The Road.

And possibly The Spirit.

 

[GhostPoet]

hmm...there's a few i'm looking forward too. Namely Bond. POSSIBLY the Spirit...but not sure on that one yet. But I think that's about it....so I guess i'm not all that hyped about the fall. It's more of a TV time for me.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I love that line about The Spirit, that movie looks awful.

 

[Prison Mike]

I'm looking forward to "W.", "Quantum of Solace", "The Spirit", and "Eagle Eye"

 

[Poetic Chaos]

High School Musical 3

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Eagle Eye, SAW V, Max Payne, Quantum of Solace, and Punisher: War Zone are the only films I'm looking forward to for the Fall.

 

[Untilteld]

Eagle Eye, Sex Drive, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Saw V, Fanboys, Igor, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. This Fall is going to own.

LOL. "Downer power".

 

[Rain Dog]

I hadn't realized last fall's movies were depressing...

 

[Darkfly]

So far it was much more depressing (dunno how it can be but hey) last year with the likes of Spidey 3, Shrek 3, Pirates 3, Surf's Up, Evan Almighty, Rush Hour 3, whereas at least most of the summer films this year were pretty damn good minus Mummy 3 & Wanted.

Burn After Reading

Choke
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

how is it depressing there are plenty of good films still to come out

 

[zeptron]

I'm looking forward to Eagle Eye, Nick & Nora, Max Payne, Madagascar 2, Quantum Of Solace, Transporter 3, Punisher War Zone, and maybe The Spirit.

EDIT: Max Payne isn't mentioned in that article either.

 

[Hunter Rider]

By depressing they aren't talking about the quality of the films, but about how the content of them is depressing, at least according to that badly written article.

 

[Erzengel]

Actually, I read through People's review of the Fall movies and except really Quantum of Solace, there's no really other movie is a must see. There's a couple I wouldn't mind seeing like Zack and Miri make a Porno.
