Movies, Movies, Movies!

One of my movie gossip websites recently ran a poll. They asked the question, "What is the most anticipated summer blockbuster of 2008?" And the top 10 came out looking like this:

1. INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (82%)
2. THE DARK KNIGHT (42%)
3. IRON MAN (38%)
4. THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN (37%)
5. THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPORER (30%)
6. GET SMART (29%)
7. THE INCREDIBLE HULK (22%)
8. THE UNTITLED X-FILES SEQUEL (20%)
9. SPEED RACER (19%)
10. SEX AND THE CITY (19%)

I look at that, and I'm like, "Really? No Wall-E? No Hellboy II?

My top 10 would look more like this.

1. Iron Man
2. the Dark Knight
3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
4. Wall-E
5. Speed Racer
6. Hellboy II: The Golden Army
7. The Incredible Hulk
8. The X-Files 2
9. The Love Guru (I LOVE MIKE MYERS! NO APOLOGIES!)
10. Hancock


And, in DVD news, we've known this date for a long time, but now we know the bonus material!

On June 24, we get Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs, the second Futurama straight-to-DVD movie. For bonus materials we get:

- running commentary with the voice cast and crew
- Futurama: The Lost Adventure, which is all the cut scenes from the Futurama video game edited into a "lost episode."
- three featurettes, entitled Meet Yivo!, A Brief History of Deathball, and Blooperama: The Cast of Futurama at "Work".
- five deleted scenes
- and the trailer for the third film, Bender's Game, due out in the fall.
