Look what I did for you! You're welcome!
Here are links to the trailers of some juicy fil-ims to come this year, picked personally by your favorite ellipitical machining-Registered Nurse.
And yes, some will be poop. Let's be honest, there could also be corn. Or peanuts.
But for now let's use our PMA - that's right, our Positive Mental Attitude - and tightly cross our legs in excitement.
Please feel free to respond in list form with your most eagerly anticipated of this lot (and others). Commentaries, addendums and insults are also acceptable.
JUST ADDED:
Jarhead
Mendes, Gyllenhaal, Saarsgard, Foxx. Gee-zus walks.
Shopgirl
Martin, Danes, Schwartzman
A clip from Green Street Hooligans...curious..may even work.
Get Rich or Die Tryin
Jim Sheridan! Fitty.
Revolver
Guy Ritchie, Liotta, Statham, Andre 3000
Zathura
Jon Favreau....Explorers, Goonies, Space Camp......
Stay
Marc Forster w/ Ryan Gosling, The Return of BD Wong, Naomi "bulimic cheeks pt. 2" Watts (guess who's pt. 1?), and Ewan McMember.
Lord of War
Gattaca/Truman Show's Andrew Niccol w/Nic Cage, Ethan Hawke, Jared "30 Seconds to Mars" Leto, Bridget Moynahan. I once read an interview with Elijah Wood in which he was asked, "Well, since you're so obsessed with music, will you ever start your own band?" to which he responded, "Jesus Christ, no! Have you seen 30 Seconds to Mars? I have seen what actors can do to music. I love music too much to ever hurt it like that" and from then on our imaginary friendship took off (he is reportedly starting up a label soon).
Proof
John Madden w/ Gwynies, Jake G., Hope Davis, A. Hopkins. I really do like her freckles so much, even if she wears repulsively cheesy tank tops that say "Mrs. Martin" as described in that NY Times interview this week.
A History of Violence
David Cronenberg w/ Viggo, Maria Bello, Ed Harris. There might not be anybody with spine-plug sockets or f-able scars in this one, but it looks juicy.
Everything Is Illuminated
Liev Schreiber w/ El Wood, Eugene Hutz. The trailer recovers itself at the end.
Green Street Hooligans
Lexi Alexander w/ El Wood, Charlie Hunnam and Catface McGillicuddy. American goes to England, falls in with soccer hooligans. Laughable concept, yes. Especially laughable in light of casting choices? Certainly.
Any good? Reportedly, very much so.
The New World
Terence Malick w/ the Hirsute Irishman, Batman and others. First trailer was better.
Waiting
Jeremy this one's for you...it might make you want to slam your forehead against the piano keys in aggravation though. Alanis' wife and Anna Faris and that kid from Freaks and Geeks.
Roll Bounce Like a Japanese cowboy, like a brother on skates. And how. Looks v. v. fun but might have corn in it.
Walk the Line
James Mangold w/ Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon. What's that smell?
The Brothers Grimm
T. Gilly, Maaat Daaaamon.
Grizzly Man Werner Herzog, so far makes me teary. But we all know that might not signify anything.
Thumbsucker
Mike Mills w/ Vince Vaughn and some kid named Lou Pucci and shit. Lou Pucci is also in Chumscrubber (wherein Jamie Bell stars, it looks bad), which also has three syllables, and which is another movie about existentially tormented adolescent males in the suburbs, which shouldnt be confused either with Brick, which is supposedly the same idea but noir-y and with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (no trailer yet), and why are you wearing that stupid human suit?
Dear Wendy
Thomas Vinterberg (The Celebration) w/ The Suddenly Omnipresent Jamie Bell and Mark Webber.
Elizabethtown
Cameron Crowe and the Elf. Smelllll Baaaaaad. But I could be wrong, I mean, the trailer for Vanilla Sky was awful, right, and that didnt turn out half-....er....
good night, wisconsin.

I sometimes want one of these to come home to.
My Titi monkey would give me a very thorough massage after a long day of pushing, poking, pressing, extracting, teaching, and writing things down.
It could serve me americanos from my (fictional) Francis! Francis! espresso machine on rainy nights in Los Angeles.
It could hide in the closet and come out and say "surprise!" while waving a little white flag and doing a dance.
So, yeah, I saw Bill of Bill and Ted at Trader Joe's on Sunday. What do you got to say about it?
Have you ever eaten quail? I tried to. The articulation of the joints was too human and I couldnt follow through. Little crossed ankles, etc.
Today I was at work, by the elevators coming back from the blood bank, and I was holding a bag of platelets and some patient's dad asked what I was holding and I told him:"Oh, platelets".
Man: "Wow, it looks like gravy. Looks like something you'd eat".
Nurse L: "Yeah, kind of looks like mango juice to me".
And you'd think that was it for comparing blood products to food! But you'd be wrong!
Man (continuing): "Yeah, a sauce for meat. Or maybe clarified butter, like in Indian food. Crazy! You put that into somebody? Does blood look kind of like a sauce-thing?"
And....scene.
