I have been racking my brains about this for ages, and previously all I've thought of was Metal Gear Solid 3. Then i was reminded on 4Music last night that there's a new Air album coming out. Aside from this i draw a blank. Any suggestions

Depends if Spiderman 2 is 'non-comic'... Harry Potter 3, no matter how good or bad it is... quite a few films actually, looking good at the mo.

MGS 3 will be good. Also Killzone for the PS2.
Is the PS3 being previewed this year?

Harry Potter 3, just because I'm looking forward to seing a new director's take on it.

Ive already got a sneaky promo copy of the new Air album.....

...and its absolutely spanking!
Titled 'Talkie Walkie'.
Imagine the progressive nature of the last album, with a little bit more of the sound of earlier Air releases.

Not much of a review, i know!
But get it when its released, its well worth it.

Wul

American Splendour (long overdew film version)

Lost In Translation (Bill Murray in follow up to Virgin Suicides)

A Mighty Wind (Christopher Guest, Fred Willard, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Eugene Leavy, Parker Posey - need I say more)

New Air album and EP (finally)

Oooh, 2004 is going to be goooooodd....

BLEEDTHROUGH - New NIN album due Q1 2004.
that has got to be my highlight, apart from that, weve got spidey 2, Glastonbury (prince on the sunday?), hopefully a sunny global Gathering, and a lot more....

Halo 2!!!

    Steve

Return of the King Extended DVD

I only hope the story in MGS 3 isn't as totally awful as last time...

"I am the Boss to surpass Big Boss!!!"

Bo**ocks

films,
lots of formula 1 - HALO 2 is a good one steve and a few other decent computer games on XBOX/GAMECUBE

Angel series 5 starts this month!

'Inside sources indicate that each cutscene in Metal Gear Solid 3: Gelatinous Snake vs Super Big Big Boss Mega Boss will be at least 4 days long.'

I'm looking forward to the new Fant?mas album released at the end of the month, the possibility of Tomahawk's cancelled European tour from last year actually going ahead and possibly seeing A Perfect Circle at the beginning of February (either in Birmingham or Manchester).

I'm hoping that saddam Hussein's execution will be televised (I'M JOKING). And that the Darkness will split.

I'm aching to see Kill Bill Vol 2. I'm also looking forward to The Return of the King extended edition, just so I can get all three and gorge myself on Tolien tomfoolery for a whole weekend (fizzy pop and assorted savory snaks might be involved).

Angel series five next tuesday yeah!!!

Also final fantasy crystal chronicle (not ff-x 2 or should that be Yuna's angels)

Ive heard murmurings and whispers of (dont say it too loud) a new Portishead album.

Nothing really.  I want to see Star Wars episode III so I can forget about the whole sorry mess, but I'm not sure if it's out this year.

really with Jeff and Beth?  Oooo Ill be looking for that now (though it will prolly be a few years till completion)

Yer Slips

Big C - I might have to visit you that weekend!

New Tribe Called Quest!

I also hope to see more embarassing stories (see Lowestoft local press) and a split for Queen tribute band The Darkness, if only to piss off my brother.

pvs: I though that was due in 2005 (with this year being dedicated to CGI work)

Cyborg assassins! Mexican wrestling! Spike!

...You've got a lot to look forward to ;)

J-Bo-waiting-for-Angel-to-get-going-again-in-the-States-but-making-do-with-24-for-the-minute-1

Metroid Prime 2 for me cube, heard rumors this is coming this year but no conformation.
PSP if it launches this year(even though I hate Sony this sounds like one sweet product)
New Wheel of Time book(I know this series is going down hill but I'm still addicted to it)
Hellboy(even though I've only read what was reprinted in the meg)
NIN new album
Nintendo's new piece of hardware they're releasing this year(even though no one has a clue what it is)
Tonnes of movies particullarly comic ones

CU Krestel

I'm holding out for some sort of WWE meltdown, with some sort of mass steroid scandal. Stupid overpaid actors...

Got to agree with you there Krusty, WWE is getting out of hand. Oh for the days of the Hulk Hogan/Undertaker grudge match and the wedding of Macho Man Randy Savage and 'lerbert.

I'm also looking forward to the next Song of Fire and Ice book out in june, been waiting bloody ages to find out what happens next!

"next Hiyao Miyazaki movie"

...That's THE CAT RETURNS, right? It's *cough* around *hack* online...

J-Bo-1

Lets see...I reckon Spiderman 2, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Legacy of Kain Defiance, MGS3, ROTK Extended DVD, buying a new car and finally getting round to having a sprog are all on my list (although not in that order!)

Half Life 2, Doom 3 (if they actually decide to turn up this year) and World of Warcraft MMORPG.
A female companion who is willing to share my PC gameplaying geekdom would also be nice.

I personally think the Undertaker would make a good Dredd.

Justice League

ah yes the new series which is rumoured to have Oliver "all cops are facists" queen as a member

Plus Iain Banks next sf novel which should be due out in August

Gary (or anyone) -

Do you know if it's going to be a Culture novel?

...Dudley

 The Shield Season 2 on DVD best crime show ever,
looking forward to Alexander and Troy, surely one of them will be good? Spidey 2, Kill Bill part 2, the My Dark Places film adaption, and my 6 week US tour in the Summer.

Terry Gilliam's new one. About bloody time an' all.

Got this from a forum dated 20/12/03:

This is from the latest e'zine from Orbit books:

"Claire Little from Okeford wants to know 'where has my favourite SF author vanished to?!' After grilling her for a few more details, Ezine are happy to present the following response: Mr Iain M Banks spent some time giving his enormous brain a well-earned rest after creating such SF classics as Look to Windward, Inversions and Excession. But he's now back at his writing desk, penning a new SF novel which Orbit have scheduled for publication in August of next year. The book doesn't have a title just yet, but rumour has it that the content will be something very new. Something not Culture. And beyond that, Claire, Ezine has nothing to say ... for now!"


Amazon have an untitled Iain M Banks book currently dated for release 30th July (guessing that'll be pushed back as it's still untitled).

Woohoo! now i know what i can get dear hubby next Christmas!

games: halo 2 + Jade Empire
films: Troy, Van Helsing, A Mighty Wind.  

Cheers blackblood!  

Damn, was really hoping for another Culture fix, but I'll give it a chance anyway...

...Dudley

Angel starts tonight on Sky1!

Silent Hill 4.  RotK Extended.  The "Pixies to reform in 2004" rumour from last September being proven true, except it was doubtless a vile lie and won't happen.  Erm...that's it, I think.  Oh yeah, the latest Malazan Book of the Convoluted would be nice.  Amazon told me it was out months ago, but lied.

Shrek 2, Hellboy, Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow, Envy, School Of Rock, Dawn Of The Dead (remake with slightly less preposterous plot and super violent and animalistic 28 days later style zombies), House of the Dead, Alone In The Dark, Spidey 2, Eurotrip (or whatever it's called for purile fun), Chronicles of Riddick, Club Dread (hey, I liked Super Troopers, okay?), The Butterfly Effect, 50 first Dates, Garfield, The Day After Tomorrow and the new Resi movie: Apocalypse.

To name but a few...

hmmm no sign of the banks' novel in this list though apprently it's set on/around a Jupiter-like gas giant as he's done actually research for it...

this looks good:

Mi?ville, China ? The Iron Council ? (Ballantine Del Rey, hc)

Link: Locus: Forthcoming Books

Sleeping

: )

(remake with slightly less preposterous plot and super violent and animalistic 28 days later style zombies)

In what way slightly less preposterous?  Taking the zombies out?

No silly. Just taking out the coincidental 'survivors happen upon a mall' by the sound of it - its about the mall workers. But I'm not sure on that. And what's so preposterous about zombies?? Haven't you played resi?

I heard a rumour The Jam are reforming for a week of gigs at Knebworth in the Summer, that's something to look forward to.


ED :-)

>I heard a rumour The Jam are reforming for a week of gigs at Knebworth in the Summer, that's something to look forward to.

Mrs Logan is a big Jam & Paul Weller fan so have been keeping an ear to the ground ever wince I heard the rumours about The Jam Playing at Knebworth.

If you go to the Paul Weller website you can see the following message:

News - 30th October 2003
'Following continued speculation about the reformation of The Jam culminating in 5 nights at Knebworth next summer. Paul Weller would like to take this opportunity to stamp out these rumours and dismiss them as 'Bollocks'.
Regards,
Nicky Weller.


Also if you go to The Jam website there?s pretty much the same message:
26th October 2002 - Unfortunately the story in yesterday's News Of The World about The Jam playing 5 nights at Knebworth next year just isn't true. If you read the note I wrote two weeks ago (below) you can see where they got their idea from but it isn't true. The event's organiser at Knebworth House has even emailed to find out if it there is any truth in it - and they should know!

La Placa Rifa,
W. R. Logan.
