You wouldn’t like them when…eh, you know the rest.)

We want to know exactly what you thought about “The Incredible Hulk:” What you liked, what you didn’t, what your favorite scenes were, where you think they went wrong, why Sony was unimaginably dumb to not allow Spider-Man to appear in the film.

On Thursday, the cast weighed in on what they want to see happen in “Hulk 2.” Later that day, Leterrier told us he thinks the future of comic movies is in miniseries events.

The two big movies opening this weekend aren’t exactly comedies. One features a green monster you really don’t wanna make angry; the other focuses on something scary that’s… happening.

Here’s a closer look at each new film…

The Incredible Hulk
Stars: Ed Norton, Liv Tyler
Quick synopsis: Bruce Banner is a scientist - and making him mad could be a serious problem.
Prediction: First place at the box office. Despite the hesitance of Norton to promote the film - he and the studio argued over final edits - it’s getting solid reviews.

The Happening
Stars: Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel
Quick synopsis: Something scary is happening to people. You don’t wanna be close to what’s happening, we hear.
Prediction: Third place at the box office… at best. Horrid reviews don’t bode well for this M. Night Shyamalan project.

While Jack Black is excited about the possibility of a School of Rock sequel, he wants to make it clear that there’s no script yet.

But the actor is excited to reading one.

“I look forward to reading it. I hope it happens because I had such a great experience the first time, it would be fun to do it again,” the Kung Fu Panda star said. “I love to rock. I love making movies. So it is kind of like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, you put the acting and the rock together in a delicious sweet chocolately smash.”

Will there be a School of Rock 2? It seems likely.

Hey, John McClane did it after 12 years.

Indiana Jones took 19.

So what’s to stop Willow from making a long-delayed sequel?

If this follow-up never happens, it won’t be for lack of desire on the part of Warwick Davis; the actor told MTV News he’d love to come back for another Willow.

“I would definitely greenlight a Willow sequel. So many people ask me about that. Every day people want to see another movie,” he said. “I’d be very excited for it, because I was 17 when I did that movie and to go back and have another chance at the character now. I’ve learned so much more, it’d be great.”

How excited would we be for Willow 2? Answer: very!

Davis added that he already has an idea about where he’d like to see the sequel go.

“I would like, perhaps, [to see] my kids grown up. I’d like to meet up again with Madmartigan [Val Kilmer], see how he’s getting on. See how everything might have gone wrong with the princess who’s grown up, see how her life turned out,” Davis said.

“But I think [most of all] plenty more action! Now they have CG. Imagine what we could do with special effects now compared to 20 years ago!”

In other, possible sequel news: how awesome would Anchorman 2 be?!?

A trio of actors have signed up for How to Make Love to a Woman, the romantic comedy starring porn legend Jenna Jameson.

Josh Meyers, Krysten Ritter and Ian Somerhalder will all play roles in the intriguingly named flick

Look for Meyers to playa a music executive with no idea how to satisfy his girlfriend (Ritter). He turns to advice from his musician pals, as well as Jameson (who plays herself), but finds that time is running out when her handsome childhood friend (Somerhalder) appears.

Aside from her hiding place under the mattresses of teenage boys around the world, Jameson can always be seen in Zombie Strippers.

A (mostly) clothed Jenna Jameson will star in How to Make Love to a Woman.

As I write this “The Happening” sits on Rotten Tomatoes with a putrid score of 21% from critics. To put that in perspective that means that both “Drillbit Taylor” AND “What Happens in Vegas” were favored by the national media over this scare-fest wannabe. So you might be asking yourself as a person who loved “The Sixth Sense” and whispered “I see dead people” a dozen times to your friends nine years ago, can it really be as bad as people are saying? Has M. Night Shyamalan really lost it?

Er…maybe? I think that’s the most positive spin I can give to the perplexing enigma that is “The Happening.” And sadly the enigma is not about the story (nary a clever twist or turn here) but Shyamalan himself. How can a guy with so much talent misfire this badly? To be fair, there’s plenty of blame to go around in “The Happening.” The performances are off the charts bizarre. Mark Wahlberg, who I now grudgingly respect after seeing how charmingly self-effacing he can be in person, is horribly miscast. Zooey Deschanel looks and sounds more frightened to be acting in the movie than to actually be experiencing the events in the movie. And then there’s CRAZY-TOWN’s Betty Buckley in scenes that make Kathy Bates’ especially loco moments in “Misery” seem understated.

I’ve always admired Shyamalan’s technique behind the camera and that’s still in evidence here. He’s a precise and confident filmmaker who is clearly no one-hit wonder (”Unbreakable” far exceeds “The Sixth Sense” in my humble estimation) but man alive…what the hell?!? Come back to us, Night! Come back!!!

Have you checked out “The Happening” yet? Will you see it despite what the critics are saying? What do you think of M. Night Shyamalan? The next Spielberg? Or another over-hyped would-be wunderkid?

According to a pair of stars in The Incredible Hulk, Marvel told each of the actors that they’d be part of a trilogy.

That’s what Tim Blake Nelson told MTV News at least.

“When I signed on to do the movie, when I went and had my meeting with [director] Louis Leterrier and Gale Anne Hurd, the producer, they said, ‘We want you for all three movies,’” said Nelson, who plays Samuel Sterns.

The Incredible Hulk comes out today. But its stars are already talking about a sequel.

Ty Burrell, who portrays Dr. Leonard Samson, also expects at least one follow-up to The Incredible Hulk. Though Samson is a minor character (as Bruce Banner’s psychiatrist and friend), he has ideas for the sequel.

“My pitch would be that he’s trying to cure Bruce — that he’s actually trying to help him, and he makes it worse. And it’s his ego that kind of causes the trouble,” Burrell said. “If we see the radiation, then I’ll definitely have the longer hair. Maybe we’ll have to go with a wig. I don’t know. [But I'm] voting for green, for sure!”

George Clooney, last seen on the big screen in the disappointing comedy Leatherheads, will likely next star in The Tourist.

According to Variety, Clooney is producing the movie and will likely star in it; the flick is based on the OlenStein hauer novel of the same name.

The Tourist is described as a contemporary international thriller about a spy who risks his life to uncover a conspiracy when he’s wrongly accused of murder.

Clooney next stars alongside Brad Pitt in the Coen brothers’ Burn After Reading.

They join forces to fight enemies no single hero can battle alone. So what possible villain could be big enough, strong enough, or crazy enough to go against the combined powers of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, and the rest of The Avengers? How about no villain at all, “Incredible Hulk” director Louis Leterrier wondered, but a hero?

[Spoiler Warning for those who don’t wish to know anything about "The Incredible Hulk"]

“I would love to see [the Hulk become the villain that fights the Avengers] because I think the best villains are always the ones whose agenda you understand,” he enthused. “They’re not synthetic to us in a way; they’re not these one dimensional bad guys.”

The Hulk being instrumental to the formation of The Avengers isn’t actually a new idea — in fact, it’s precisely the reason the team formed way back when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby first started the comic in 1963. Leterrier wanted to make sure he gave the next “Avengers” captain, whether it be him, Jon Favreau, or someone else, the same opportunity.

“That’s why I left the door open for whoever’s going to direct ‘The Avengers’ with our last shot. Edward and I, we consciously decided to make the last shot of the movie when he opens his eyes and he smirks at the camera,” Leterrier said. “Is he enjoying it? Is he malicious? That’s what’s great about Edward. You don’t know if he’s a good guy or bad guy. He’s always on this edge and we’ve been sort of surfing that edge, that very thin edge during the entire movie.”

“So that last shot of the movie, if you decide that he’s smiling, in control, then he’s a good guy, that’s ‘The Hulk 2,’” he continued. “If Hulk is a failure, then he looks up and smirks and that’s eventually the Hulk of the Avengers — the uncontrollable beast that they need to team up to stop.”

“The Avengers” movie is tentatively scheduled for 2011, and that’s plenty of time to figure it out, Leterrier said. And the best way to do that? Let the fans decide, he said.

“I would listen to the fans before I listen to the box office,” Leterrier insisted. “They are the reason why these movies successful.”

The gauntlet has been thrown. Do you think the Hulk should be the villain in the Avengers? Or do you think he should be on the team, helping to fight someone else? Sound off on your reasons for either below.

Andrew Stanton earned an Academy Award for his work on Finding Nemo.

Now, the writer/director is back with this summer’s next Pixar hit, WALL•E. He recently spoke with ComingSoon.net about the animated feature, commenting on the origins of the main character:

Yeah, it was, well to get really picky, it was an original character that we came up with at that lunch. The story I didn’t start on until the “Nemo” years, but out of that lunch came just a quick little concept of like, sci-fi and robots and what if everyone left the planet and what if there was this one little robot left collecting all the garbage that just didn’t know it could stop doing its job.

Get to know WALL•E. on June 27.

And I thought that is such an exercise in futility, I could even buy a character that’s a machine, after seven hundred years of doing the same thing, finally asking the question “there’s got to be more to life than what I’m doing.” I just thought that that was great.

But it was such an abstract concept even then, before we’d even proven that we could do “Toy Story,” we were like, well no one would ever give us the money or the opportunity to do something like that, that was so out there.

So it got put on a shelf and we became much more experienced, much more involved in other pictures, much better filmmakers and so by the time “Nemo” came out I felt we were at a place where maybe I would internally get the okay to make a movie like that but maybe the outside world would be open to coming to a movie like that. So maybe in a weird way it was better, letting it simmer for so long.
