Ah so they made LOTR live-actions? Are they better than the Bakshi/Rankin Bass cartoons?

Imagine if The Last Jedi was made into three 4 hour long films and replace the laser swords with regular ones and you've got LOTR. It's amazing.

Is this really a series that warranted revisiting?

I didn't particularly like MIB 2 and 3 so a reset would be fine by me. However that trailer certainly doesn't look like the film is needed.

Bit funny they casted Thor and Valkyrie girl as leading characters though.

I still kind of wish they had done the MiB / 21 JUMP ST. crossover, if only because the idea was so ludicrous that it could only be so spectacularly great / awful as to be worth watching either way.

It also looks to be like Tessa's character is going for a mole and thinks it's Hemsworth...only for it to be late game revealed to be Neeson.

There, we've all seen the movie.

MiB 1 was good. Rewatched 2 this summer, and it was awful. But I really really liked 3. This could be fun.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"
―Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch

This reminds me of a family story. When the first MIB came out my dad took me and my little sister to see it. My sister went to use the restroom, and when she was done she actually returned to the wrong screen showing the movie. And since, naturally, she couldn't find us/our seats, she just sat in the aisle, until my dad got worried and went out to go find her.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

I think MIB looks fine. Not great, but fine.

The Hellboy trailer on the other hand looks... bad.

Just took the 6 year old boy to his first ever movie at the cinema.

Aside from problems with the seats (not designed for 6 year olds so he ended up sitting in my lap), he enjoyed it a lot.

Good movie too. Better than the 2007 version, which was the best live action Transformers movie up to now. They went back to basics and made it about Bumblebee as a character and his relationship with the human, instead of just using Transformers as weapons platforms.

Saw AQUAMAN, and really enjoyed it. It’s a rip-roaring ridiculous time of a movie that leans into everything comic book. Snyder’s influence on the DC movies is entirely absent.

Well done James Wan.
