July 2009 Movie Outlook

Beamo and Dingo try their hand at judging movies over the next month based solely off of their trailers using film-releases.com and their film release schedule. This is their conversation, done using AOL Instant Messenger. It was edited only for length and language.

Dingo (9:52:53 PM): thats how much i want to see the movie lol

Beamo (9:53:57 PM): im actually kinda iffy on this

Beamo (9:54:12 PM): too many indie music references

Beamo (9:54:28 PM): might be a bit pretentious

Dingo (10:03:58 PM): yeah



Beamo (10:03:59 PM): next movie G-Force (Don’t worry about its release date)

Dingo (10:04:03 PM): no comment

Beamo (10:09:59 PM): probably the only decent connection to this movie

Dingo (10:10:39 PM): 6 degrees to a good movie

Beamo (10:10:45 PM): lemme guess, this girl is possessed

Dingo (10:11:20 PM): horror movies have got to find something scary other than little girls

Dingo (10:11:23 PM): god damn it

Beamo (10:11:35 PM): black haired girls

Dingo (10:12:04 PM): yeah

Dingo (10:12:08 PM): mix that s*** up

Beamo (10:12:22 PM): whats scarier than a monotone black haired girl?

Beamo (10:13:39 PM): we need to try and predict the next common scary thing in movies

Dingo (10:14:14 PM): that's the thing, i dont think there will ever be one

Dingo (10:14:26 PM): theyve been doing it for like 30 years

Dingo (10:14:30 PM): since The Exorcist

Dingo (10:14:44 PM): Poltergeist

Beamo (10:14:58 PM): emotionless, soulless children

Beamo (10:16:33 PM): you know what would be kinda scary

Beamo (10:16:37 PM): is like a demon fetus

Dingo (10:16:41 PM): hahah

Beamo (10:16:46 PM): who ravages the inside of his mother

Beamo (10:17:13 PM): luckily though, this fetus has a twin

Beamo (10:17:23 PM): and they battle for their mother's life

Beamo (10:17:27 PM): inside of her womb

Beamo (10:17:31 PM): in 3D

Dingo (10:17:46 PM): the new scary thing for horror movies

Dingo (10:17:48 PM): fetuses

Dingo (10:18:05 PM): then every movie for the next 30 years will feature a haunted fetus

Beamo (10:18:34 PM): i mean that is pretty scary, scarier than black haired girls

Dingo (10:19:02 PM): yeah but how the hell would you make that into a movie

Dingo (10:19:14 PM): would it just show inside the mothers stomach the whole time

Beamo (10:19:22 PM): its just a part of the movie

Beamo (10:19:33 PM): like the first thirty minutes is the fetus escaping from the mother

Beamo (10:19:53 PM): then the rest is the fetus scurrying around and biting people

Beamo (10:20:13 PM): and the final scene is the family dog eating the fetus

Beamo (10:20:40 PM): like "What's the big deal, it was a fetus"

Beamo (10:20:49 PM): when really it WAS a big deal

Beamo (10:21:15 PM): but its just a dog so it doesnt know

Beamo (10:21:39 PM): the movie has to be titled The _____

Beamo (10:21:49 PM): The Ring, The Grudge, The Omen, The Exorcist

Beamo (10:21:52 PM): The Abortion




Beamo (10:22:49 PM): next movie – Shrink (July 24th)

Dingo (10:28:23 PM): looks pretty typical

Beamo (10:28:41 PM): file it with Answer Man

Beamo (10:28:51 PM): in fact, this could be a potential comparison flick

Beamo (10:28:56 PM): Answer Man and Shrink

Beamo (10:29:13 PM): two grumpy old advice guys just looking for happiness

Dingo (10:29:35 PM): they give advice on life, when really...theyre the ones who need it the most!

Dingo (10:50:06 PM): Cold Souls looks really interesting

Dingo (10:50:33 PM): very charlie kaufman-esque

Dingo (10:52:27 PM): did you ever see that

Beamo (10:53:42 PM): lmao a naked baby running across an out-of-body-experience dream
