The titles explains it all. For books, I'm looking foward to Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox (Which is better than Harry Potter imo, becasue HP is WAY too long and by the tiem you get half way through it, you forget the beggining), I'm a die-hard fan so I cannot wait for that. In movies I'm looking foward to Hancock, it seems like a funny and Will Smith type movie.

The Dark Knight...period.
I don't read a lot nowadays. When I do read, it's old books, and I usually don't like to pick up new stuff, so I'm not looking forward to the release of any new book.

I didn't know there was going to be a new Artemis Fowl book. Thought the series had ended. I'll be looking forward to that.
Hehe, I'm right with you here R2D2. I like Artemis Fowl too. And Hancock, seems like a decent movie. I might read some Shakespeare (cheesy, I don't care).
But I'll probably mainly be rereading and rewatching movies, as well as watching old ones I haven't seen. I want to reread My Brother Sam is Dead and Go Ask Alice. I might read The Catcher in the Rye even though I'm going to be reading it next school year. I'll probably reread To Kill a Mockingbird.
A lot of the movies I plan to watch aren't necessarily new though. I'm a fan of old movies. :3 I'm gonna watch some films by the Master of Suspense (if you don't know who that is go search it up), mainly Mr. and Mrs. Smith, North by Northwest, and Psycho. I know I'll be watching Bogart, but probably just Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon. I'll probably rewatch Duck Soup, since that in my opinion was the greatest comedy film of all time, along with some other Marx Bros films. I'll also be catching up on my favorite, Charlie Chaplin. Oh, and an interesting movie called The Endless Summer. It's directed by Bruce Brown, and I've heard good things about it. If anyone could clue me in, I'd be much appreciative.

im looking forward to watch another gay sequel: gays gone wild!, the sequel to another gay movie, that comes out at the end of the month. unfortunately i think its only out at the film festival so i hope someone sneaks in a camera so i can watch it:D
New Artemis Fowl book? Superior Saturday's coming out this summer? I need to start reading more. I have four books sitting on my shelf, unread right now (Twilight Trilogy, The Bourne Betrayal), and I'm just finishing up The Amber Spyglass. I also have to pick up and read the fourth entry in the Percy Jackson And The Olympians series, which I seriously love to death (it's already out). Not to mention I heard the fourth Twilight book is coming out in August sometime (obviously it won't be a trilogy for long =P). Man, I have some catching up to do.
I'm not a huge movie person anymore, but Hancock looks great, Wanted seems pretty nifty, and of course I wish to see The Dark Knight. I loved the last Batman movie, even though I've never been a huge fan of big ol' Brucey. I might be seeing Get Smart, tonight, too, which looks really funny. Steve Carrell is the MAN.

Wait, Garth Nix has been finishing the series based on days? This is very disappointing. I read the first three, and haven't seen any sign of Thursday or Friday in my bookstores. Well, I guess I have something to find to read on the plane/road/really long vacation.
Movie-wise, I pretty much want to see everything that comes out this summer. I've already seen Iron Man, Vegas, Zohan, and Kong Fu Panda. I want to see Love Guru, Hancock, and Tropic Thunder and plan on seeing the Hulk and Get Smart. And I can't forget about the Dark Night even though there is barely any advertising for it.

yay another Keys to the kingdom book? yes...but is it just me or was Lady Friday not as good as the rest? and idk there was gonna be another Artemis Fowl...that will be amazing...I can't wait to see the Dark Knight and Hancock they both look uber amazing...Get Smart does look kinda funny though...mite see that too
Dark Knight (Joker looks stunning), Punisher: War Zone (hoping that Ennis' brilliant writing on the Punisher comics somehow gets warped into the movie)(also I think this comes out in December but whatever), Get Smart!!!! oh man please people tell me I wasn't alone watching the old series, that were absolutely comedy genius and Wolverine:Origins though that's more 2009 than 'this summer'.
I really enjoyed Batman Begins, with a darker and more realistic take on a superhero, which interested me. I've never been a real superhero junkie, but I'm looking forward to the Dark Knight.
I'm also looking to get back into reading. I used to read a lot (this was before the internet), but I haven't been doing it much lately. I want to read some "classics", like Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, etc.. I think I might go with Bentendo and read some Shakespeare... I'll go for Romeo and Juliet. :P I'll also try to reread the Narnia novels. I'm looking for a lot of recommendations (also for non-classics) , and I think I'll enjoy this thread.
If you have any recommendations, I enjoy fantasy, mystery, anything in a medieval setting.... I have a few moral issues with some books, but it's not too heavy.

Garth Nix's "Superior Saturday" is being released (Aus) on the 29th of this month. As far as I know there's no plans for the Abhorsen series (Probably a more common name for the series than "Sabriel"), at the very least until after Lord Sunday is released.
Hell yeah I'm looking foreward to Saturday!!!
EDIT:
AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaa just saw this!
Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday were great. Thursday was cocked up because Arthur having his memory erased meant Nix had to switch back and forth between his perspective and Leafs to give the book a sence of direction, which totally did not work. IMO Friday was fine but not as good as the first three, plus it still had Leaf and Arthur in a split storyline :( . I'm hoping Saturday comes out of the "Mid-series" slump.
Well I'm forced to read a few books for summer reading, can't remember their names, I'll edit them in.
There are sooooooo many movies during the summer, I don't think I can get to them all. Zohan, Hulk, Dark Knight, Hancock, umm what else?

Minor spoilers, it looks like (from the minor spoilers I accidentally read on Wikipedia before I could avert my eyes) Leaf and Arthur will not have a split storyline in Saturday so I hold high hopes :)
EDIT: WTF? Wikipedia now says it has been released in Australia! Argh! *runs to shop*
EDIT2: Just finished it! Awesome Nix books are back people! :) [MINOR SPOILERS]Leaf plays very little part, you only switch to her twice in the entire book, once in the middle and once at the end. So there goes my main gripe with Thursday and Friday. Also cliffhanger ending! ;_; [END SPOILERS]
Loved every minute of it.
