But thanks for telling me to deal with it. I didn't realize my idle question was such a burden on other people. @lostepic - Thanks for trying to tell me what I was really asking, but I'm pretty sure my real concern was just wondering why all the movies I want to see this summer are coming out in a four week time span regardless of what they're based on.

Your real concern is how many movies out of mainstream film have original scripts, that are not sequels, spin offs, reboot/redux, adaptations of literture of any kind books/comics/graphic novels etc.. That is why every time someone complains that film or internet films are going to kill literture I say "where are they going to get their source material since the best coming out is in written form." @kemper 2) May and July are peak sreen times and hollywood is in love with reduxs/reboots/sequels/spinoffs/adaptations/anime-to-animation/ etc... so deal with it.

(Wolverine, Star Trek, Terminator: Salvation, Pixar's Up) Will there be anything left in June or July? Will one of the movies suffer due to competition. . 3) Obtain interview with Brian K. Vaughan (Y:The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways and now writing/producing for Lost) and find out how he got to be so freaking awesome. . 4) Explain the themes and symbolism of Blood Meridian. (Not really a nerd thing, but I just got done reading it and I could use some help.) . 5) Watch Battlestar Galactica again and comment on things you noticed that you missed the first time around.
