tbh i'm really struggling to name movies I'm currently as excited for as i was in the latter half of this year, which was super generous, despite people talking shit about 2019. and that's me who STILL hasn't seen parasite AND cats. it was a good year and what's coming next just kind of pales in comparison for me. i know i'm wrong tho lol
obviously i'm off the charts excited about tenet, and this past week has been very fun with the prologue and trailer. BUT the plot and potential ideas behind it are soooooo my type of shit that it just naturally invites a ton of overthinking and before my imagination goes nuts on itself and i ruin all of the fun, i will have to step back and forget it exists before it comes out lol
so i guess my current top anticipated movie is no time to die
Well, honestly, apart from some blockbuster goodness I think the majority of film-interested mankind does not even know what the second half of 2020 is going to look like, concretely. I mean up until film awards season kicked off in the summer most people thought it was a pretty shitty film year but look at us now, it's pretty dank.
That's why I always think coming up with titles for the following year is such a struggle and it certainly is a struggle I can't even decide which film I anticipate more Tenet or Dune lol
2020 looks very frontloaded with Nolan, Dennis, Anderson, Wright and Fincher movies being the clear highlights. Plus Marvel basically taking a break this year and there being no Star Wars for the first time in 6 years makes it a pretty unimpressive blockbuster year... but I'm sure, just like this year, we'll learn of more worthwhile films as the year moves along. I think there's a lot to look forward to already but most importantly we should hope that the top 5 filmmakers of the year will all deliver. If that happens, it'll be something special.
