Dammit & I actually wanted to see "Australia"...
WOW I think Entertainment Weekly magazine should have waited to to put out there "Fall Movie Preview Guide" (#1007/1007 - Aug, 22/29, 2008!)!
Why can't the stuidos movie sh*t like "Disaster Movie" Or "Saw V" to next year!
It's like every damn film that I want to see keeps getting pushed to 2009! It's getting to the point that I will be "FORCED" to see crap like "Twilight!!!
