The Hobbit Pt. 1 & Pt. 2 (2012/2013)
Django Unchained (2012)
Prometheus (2012)

These all look really tasty.

[MmzHrrdb]

These all look really tasty.

Believe me...Since I put together this list, this is all I can think about haha I'm expecting 2012 to be one of the better years in a while.

2012 can't possibly be any worse than either 2011 or 2010 (arguably the two single worst years in film history since 1930), so yeah, that's a safe bet.

However, I'm expecting "Django Unchained" to suck and couldn't be less interested in "The Hobbit". Yeah, I loved the book as a kid, it's a timeless classic, but not every piece of fiction needs to be adapted into a Hollywood CGI schlock-fest.

We'll see about "Prometheus".

[edkrak]

2012 can't possibly be any worse than either 2011 or 2010 (arguably the two single worst years in film history since 1930), so yeah, that's a safe bet.

You've seen just 6 films from 2011, among them only one generally considered very good and you're already making statements like this? Don't you think it's premature?

[MmzHrrdb]

2011 is a really great year. already 4 movies this year that would make my top 25, and there's still lots of great stuff coming up; This is not a Film, Habemus Papam, Le Havre, Hors Satan, Shame, Another Earth, etc

as for 2012, Karim Ainouz is apparently making a new movie which is the only thing i'm excited about so far. also that Malick film but it probably won't be released until 2016

2012 can't possibly be any worse than either 2011 or 2010 (arguably the two single worst years in film history since 1930), so yeah, that's a safe bet.

What's the metric there? I mean, I'd personally consider 2005 a bad year for film; less than 10% of the movies I've seen are in my top 3 tiers. And 2011 is shaping up to be a bit mediocre, but we haven't even gotten through December yet, and that's when most of the great movies come out.
