The third installments of three blockbuster franchises all come out in the month of May. Which of them are you actually going to go see at the movie theater within a couple weeks of them hitting the big screeen, and why?

[The Jewish Cunthead]

All 3... they're all great popcorn flicks.

While I will see Spidey and will most likely see Shrek, I am waiting until July for the big one. 7/4/07 is when Transformers comes out, and I will be waiting in line to see that one.

My wife is already shaking her head. Whether in amusement or self pity I can't tell.

[Jack Quinn]

I don't care about Spiderman, I haven't seen any of the Pirates movies, but I probably will go see Shrek

You don't like Spidey or Indiana Jones... just how long have you been a Communist, Moosey?

The wife and I don't do movies as date nights that often. We'll see Shrek in theaters along w/ the kiddo, but will wait for Spidey and Pirates to come to DVD.

[Chris Eco]

I'm young enough and have enough friends to end up seeing all of these. Spider-Man 3 is the priority though.

[Courtney]

My friends and I have already ask off work for Spidey, so that's a no-brainer. Plus, I can't wait to see how they're gonna end Pirates.

Shrek I won't see unless I go with my brothers and sisters. I'll wait for the DVD.

I personally am more excited about Transformers than any of these three.

[salmonjunkie]

I haven't even seen Pirates 2 or Shrek 2 yet. Spidey 3 is a must-see for me. As is Transformers.

[Courtney]

Pirates 2 isn't as good as the first one, but the ending is fantastic. I highly recommend Shrek 2. I think it's just as good and funny as the first.

[The Canadian Content]

I'll drag my wife to Spidey. We both really enjoy the Pirates franchise (although she got the better deal with Bloom and Depp, while all I get to look at is Keira Knightley). Shrek is a no-brainer for us.

[Lucky]

Couldn't give a shit about Shrek. Didn't much like the first one and I don't think I saw the 2nd one. Screw that.

I love the Pirates movies but it hasn't clicked with my friends. So it will take a conscious act by me to talk people into going to see it, and I'm not sure which of my friends have seen the first 2. Of my usual running buddies I remember recently discussing that one of them had never seen 2 and the other never saw either. So I dunno. I might just save it for Cable/DVD so I can freshen up on the first two installments.

I like the Spidey franchise plenty but I'm not excited for it. Even with the Venom stuff in 3. It looks strong and all but I'm not up for it. That being said, that's probably the one that I'm gonna get a phone call about 1 night asking if I want to go see it with half a dozen other folks. Those fuckers dragged me to Superman Returns so I'm not too happy with them. They dragged me to Ghost Rider last month and that wasn't much of a recovery.

Honestly? I'm gonna get burned out in the next month. I'm pumped for Grindhouse. Someone's probably going to drag me to 300 or TMNT. I'm getting a lot of pressure to see Reign Over Me. I figure the Reaping has a 70/30 chance of sucking but I'm a sucker for religious themed horror. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Hot Fuzz might get on my schedule. The Condemned doesn't look half bad. And I wouldn't be surprised if I check out The Vacancy, Disturbia, or whatever that Reagan serial killer movie is. Toss in that a group of my friends have banned me from coming with them when they see The Simpsons.

As I cruise through upcoming releases I think I'll be deeply tempted to see September Dawn, the movie about Mormons massacring people if only to piss off the conservatives in my life. 28 Weeks Later might be a watch. FF might be a watch. And what the fuck? There's a new Die Hard movie?!?! There's enough things drawing my interest that I'll probably veer away from a few crowded blockbusters I'm not all that excited for.

But I'll get dragged to Spidey. And I'll see Pirates somewhere or another. No chance in hell for Shrek.

Is it wrong I'm more pumped to see these two than the three choices listed above? I mean I'll go see Shrek, POTC and Spidey but I am fucking psyched for Grindhouse and Die Hard.

[Lucky]

I'm definitely more pumped for Grindhouse than any of those. Toss in Transformers, 300, Simpsons, and any other blockbuster you have this year. Double feature. Tarrantino's worst film was the very enjoyable Jackie Brown and I've loved everything else he's done. EVERYTHING. Rodriguez has blossomed into a really great director and he's doing a zombie flick starring Bruce Willis and Rose McGowan with a gun for a leg? And you have Eli Roth, Edgar Winter, and Rob Zombie providing shorts in between films? I realize you have to be fans of these guys to get up for this film, but if you are a fan of them I can't see how you aren't up for this.

Me? Love Tarrantino. Like Rodriguez a lot and love Sin City. I've watched Shaun of the Dead a dozen times and I've watched Devil's Rejects about half a dozen times in the last 2 months since discovering Zombie could direct. And there's such a list of hotties in Grindhouse its insane. I was gonna post this picture of 10 of them at the premiere and then point out how like another half dozen hotties are missing. But my computer is going insane here.

I was also going to link this picture of Freddy Rodriguez, Lost's Sayid, McGowan, and Marley Shelton prepping to kill some zombies. Because it makes me happy.

Die Hard? I have no idea. I didn't even know it existed until I posted that last time. I'm certainly interested. I'm a bit concerned about it holding up but Willis has remained great. Still, its been 12 years since Vengeance.
