Halloween Horror: Kaiju No. 8 Trailer

Friday, October 13th, 2023

Not sure if this quite qualifies as a Halloween Horror, but it includes monsters, and it struck my fancy.

Basically, it’s an anime series focused on a guy who’s crappy job is to clean up after kaiju attacks.

It’s basically Damage Inc. meets Godzilla. Plus the teaser trailer is giving off a tiny bit of a FLCL vibe.

I don’t subscribe to Crunchy Roll (or any streaming service), but I’d seriously consider buying the DVD set when it eventually comes out.

The Eternals Trailer: Super-Meh

Wednesday, May 26th, 2021

The trailer for Marvel’s The Eternals dropped:

It’s so lackluster I have to use a meme from the competing DC universe:

There’s nothing there that grabbed me. And I’m a guy who’s seen almost all of the MCU films.

The Critical Drinker has thoughts that largely mirror my own, albeit with more drinking and profanity:

Dune Trailer Checklist

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

The trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune just dropped:

Let’s do a checklist of encouraging signs that they’re going to actually follow the book:

  1. Gom Jabber: Check
  2. Litany Against Fear: Check
  3. Omnithopter: Check
  4. Holtzman shield: Check
  5. Sardauker: Check
  6. Baron Harkonnen: Check (albeit very briefly)
  7. Still-suits: Check
  8. Spice-eyes: Check
  9. Sandworm: Check

And it even a has a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Eclipse,” a nod to Jodorowsky’s planned but never-filmed version of Dune, which was to include music by Pink Floyd and Magma.

Only things missing: No Spacer Guild, and no Feyd-Rautha, which makes sense, since they’re only adapting the first half of the novel.

This one is still scheduled for December 18.

Mood: Cautious optimism.

Trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet

Thursday, December 19th, 2019

Sort of like “Inception meets The Matrix, but for time travel.”

More than a bit of a Philip K. Dick vibe…

Once Upon a Deadpool

I was watching this and thinking “Another nice parody, Mr Reynolds!”

Let’s use the obvious meme:

Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah? (The same lineup as Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, the fifth Shōwa-era Godzilla film.) I suspect things will get a little windy…

Due May 31, 2019.

MST3K Film Candidate: The Wraith

Saturday, February 3rd, 2018

How was I unaware of this film until now?

Not only is it Knightrider meets supernatural revenge fantasy, it’s so 80s it hurts.

Deadpool 2 Trailer Channels Bob Ross

Very silly and very Not Safe For Work (which the word “Deadpool” should imply anyway).
