Summertime Entertainment.
As we are all aware, summertime is a great time for the entertainment industry to release new movies and music for the average American consumer to, well, um, consume. This is the place to post what you are looking forward to in the summer concerning the entertainment industry.
I'll start:
Movies:
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
The first movie wasn't a classic, but was enjoyable and entertaining. With this one parodying a Dickens classic, I expect this one to possibly beat the first one. Out: June 16
X-men 3: The Last Stand
I loved the first 2 installments. With this one adding the likes of Beast, Angel, Shadowcat, ang Juggernaut (although subtracting the lovable Nightcrawler), I expect to be pleased and to get pumped for more action movies later in the season. Out: May 26
Music:
Less Than Jake - In With The Out Crowd
One of the most influential bands of the 90's rock scene - and one of the most forgotten, uncredited, and overlooked by the general public. Gone are the days of 3rd wave ska music about having a good time from releases like "Pezcore" and "Losing Streak". Going are the catchy horn lines (only 6 songs with them this time, with 2 horn lines completely unnecessary). But in its replacement is a set of 12 VERY solid pop-punk songs mostly about reminiscing about your life and reflecting on what the world is like these days, continuing the theme of their 2003 album "Anthem". These guys deserve the check-out. Key Tracks: "In-dependence Day", "The Rest of My Life", "P.S. Shock the World". Out: May 23
Angels and Airwaves - We Don't Need to Whisper
While blink-182 is on hiatus, guitarist Tom Delonge put together a new band to continue with music he thought didn't suit blink's style. This music is very inpirational, a really uplifting experience for times when you are down. If you like U2, the Cure, or Coldplay, you'll like this too. Check out "Valkyrie Missile", "The Adventure", and "The War". Out: May 23
AFI - Decemberunderground
While the only song I've heard from this album is "Miss Murder", I can tell at least I will likely be pleased by this release. This album will more than likely have a very dark tone, but that's what their trademark is, isn't it? Out: June 6th.
I have spoken. Your turn.

I hear that Bob Dylan and DMB are working on new albums...
Ok Drew. Not so excited for Garfield. Very excited for X-Men. But where is your Pirates of the Caribbean section? Hello-Johnny Depp? And I'm not saying that because I think he's attractive. He's really funny and an awesome actor.
Dang. I knew I forgot something(s) major.
Is there a movie coming out that has as many plot twists, actions, tragedies, victories,and chinese ninjas as 24 does? That one I'd DEFINITELY see.
Okay, I have sinned, and did not watch 24. I promise, unless chinese ninjas prevent me, to watch it next season.
That's alright, Sara. I didn't watch it either. And now we dont get the t-shirt.
i really like angels & airwaves
yeah.....johnny depp is hot.....and orlando........
Aaron, which do you think is better? blink-182 or AVA?
blink is far more crude, both lyrically and musically. I would say that AVA is a tighter band musically the production of this cd is amazing very emo tho, which is good at times. I still like blink's suff. but they are both bands different genre's of emo rock.
Neither are emo, really.
when is Pirates coming out- it looks awesome. do you think it will be as good as the first? sequals have a hard battle to fight in order to make it.
Pirates looks great, but I don't know if I want to suffer through two-plus hours of Will and Elizabeth drama.
I'm looking forward to X-Men, but without Gambit, I don't know how the movie can be complete.
Oh, and Radiohead's supposed to be coming to Portland in the fall. Joy and happiness.
Comes out July 7th. Better than the first or not, it will still be good.
drew they are soooooo emo just listen to the strings on the whole fricking cd. it is like screaming "EMO"!!!!
Whatever. Music isn't about the genre label.
i know but that doesn't stop it from having one
