Sweet Bill & Ted Poster

Bill & Ted 3: Face the Music is still scheduled to hit theaters sometime this summer, so it’s time for the marketing to get to work. The movie has declared today “Bill & Ted Day” and have debuted this first poster for the film. Looks pretty sweet.

Obviously the rumor is that we might even get the first trailer later today. If we do, you best believe I’ll be sharing it here, so feel free to come back throughout the day.

I’m guarded about Bill & Ted 3. I love the original two movies, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. As far as I am concerned, they are theatrical masterpieces. Both of them. So the idea that we’ve come back for a third film all these decades later is very daunting. It is not often that this style of sequel making ever works.

But we’ll see. I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m also somewhat disappointed that the plot of this upcoming film is that Bill & Ted did not go on to bring about world peace like they were supposed to at the end of the first two films.

Tenet is Still Scheduled for Next Month in Theaters!

This trailer is a couple weeks old. I’ve been sitting on it waiting for a day where I didn’t have much else to post about. It’s a trailer for the next big Christopher Nolan movie, Tenet. And it’s the movie that could determine the future of the film industry.

Tenet is scheduled for release in movie theaters on July 17. If it holds to that date, it will be the first major movie to come out in theaters since the pandemic started. That’s a big deal. If it actually opens in theaters, it will be a strong sign that movie theaters could go back to normal and other big movies will follow, like Mulan and Wonder Woman 84.

But if Warner Bros. balks and delays Tenet because of the virus, all other upcoming movies will also likely be delayed. And we might not get new movies in theaters until the end of the year…if ever. Who will know at that point?

Basically, keep your eyes on Tenet if you want to know what the future holds.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/6/20

Welcome back to another week of quarantine comics! New issues are trickling out here and there, and big changes are coming to everything. DC has cut ties with Diamond! What does that mean? I don’t know, I’m not a business guy. All I know is I enjoyed the comics I read this week.

I got two of my favorite comics: Force Works 2020 and Far Sector! I think Force Works is my favorite thing Matthew Rosenberg has written, and it was my favorite of the two this week.

Will we ever get that Falcon and Winter Soldier TV show?

Meanwhile, life goes on and the world continues to fall apart. I had a bit of a fever scare earlier this week after a doctor’s appointment, but I pulled through without any sickness. I’ve started playing Star Wars: Battlefront 2 because it was free on Playstation, and I just finished the third season of Killing Eve. Both are pretty good.

And, obviously, #BlackLivesMatter.

YouTuber Stumbles Upon a Great Running Gag

I’ve never heard of YouTuber Julie Nolke before, but I randomly came upon this first pandemic video of hers a couple months ago. It’s pretty funny. It’s a gag where her April self visits her January self. It’s good.

The even better part is that she’s come back with a sequel! When she made that first one, I doubt she intended to be able to come back two months later and keep the gag going!

Imagine what she’ll be able to do in August…

Or November…

We’re Getting More Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts Soon!

With so many great cartoons coming to an end recently, the world is going to need new ones. So here comes season two of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts on Netflix on June 12!

The first season was a lot of fun. It’s a quirky little show about a girl trying to make her way across a beast and villain-filled post-apocalyptic city to rescue her people. Like, it takes place in the far future, where humanity lives in enclaves underground because wonderbeasts and sentient beast villains rule topside. When Kipo’s enclave is destroyed and she’s separated from her people, she finds some topside friends and makes her way in the world to find her dad and her people. It’s really fun.

And here’s hoping season 2 continues that fun trend!
