Anyway all I'm saying is you've all completely ignored the Wonder Woman trailer and that's just not nice coz it's fricking awesome.

Meh, it’s fine. But I mean it’s less “trailer” and more sizzle reel of bright costume Diana doing cool shit. I mean they don’t even really intro the villain. And the Steve-is-alive reveal is really just there...

The riding lighting stuff was hella cool tho.

I’m sure the movie will be solid, but a great trailer that was not.

There's a ghost blowjob in the first movie!

Liking a movie doesn't need to invoke a thesis of "it's not done as a straight comedy". It is clearly trying to work both sides of the comedy/slightly scary stuff dynamic with as much as it can do the entire time.

Yeah, that’s a fair point. It just has always read to me like more a supernatural flick that has great comedians in it doing workman like comedy in real situations....than purposeful skit scenes for laughs and such...and really misreading it as a comedy only, is how the 2016 version went so wrong.

Now think of it as an evil version of the stuff all over BK's truck upholstery and you see the movie in a totally different light.

Black light, as it were.

Maybe it's a Bakker crossover?!?!

I firmly believe that a blacklight scan of BK's truck would be viewable from orbit.

Fun fact. During power outages in Baton Rouge they shine a black light at his truck for emergency light for the neighborhood.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Is that a bad thing in a trailer? I mean there was a time not so long ago when all trailers were sizzle reels meant to give you an idea of the basic premise and tone but not tell you shit about the plot.

I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.

I mean no, they always gave you a little plot. The secret was not to give it away entirely...but a sizzle reel is just like "Look how cool this looks!".....and not "This is cool and it's about these plot strands..." because with the sizzle reel concept I basically am deciding to see a movie because it looks cool, which is not a great way to judge the things.

Again, I know the next trailer or two will have more meat....but I'm not fond of the straight sizzle reel concept, even as a teaser.

I have no issue with trailers as a concept. My dislike has grown since two developments...

1. a variety of trailers marketing a movie different ways, ie as a comedy, an actioner, a romance, a drama... it's a fucking Jurassic Park film (or whatever), stop pretending it's everything for everyone. All you're doing is warning everyone you're desperate.

2. sizzle Reels, preview clips, pre-trailers, teaser trailers, ... every variation of a trailer for a trailer... as evolutions of the movie hype machine go, this is just overhype generating the opposite effect of excitement.

I understand the reasoning for both of these things, i know i am not their target, i acknowledge there is a level of 'get off my lawn' to this, but these things occupy the space i am viewing and the manipulation of / pandering to, audience stupidity just irritates.

Perhaps not the best trailer, but I honestly don't care. Loved the first WW and I am 100% here for this one Posted Image

I enjoyed the WW trailer. It was really going for that 80s nostalgia feel, which seems to be trendy currently, so a smart choice. I didn't need to see it though to know I'm looking forward to the movie, but it didn't hurt my expectations in any way either.

May 21, 2021 to be named Keanu Reeves day? The Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 will be dropping on that date. I suspect that will change?

Going back to this year, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the first movie in my life that I went to see again at the cinema. And again after that. And again. Can't wait for Godzilla vs Kong next year.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Is anyone else totally excited for the new Top Gun 2 trailer tomorrow? I sure fucking am. The 1st one absolutely pumped me up. I get a kick out of the it doesn’t need a sequel rage so people have for this movie.

Yeah, Top Gun 2 looks like finally this decade someone's approaching a reboot/continuation of a beloved classic the right way.

Tried to watch Ryan Reynolds new Netflix original movie 6 UNDERGROUND.

Realizing too late that it is Michael Bay, and therefore filled with Michael Bay-isms....coupled with the notion that if Retynolds is in your movie, it should be over the top gory in every way (like Deadpool).

We turned it off after about 20 minutes. Awful.
