First Trailer for Legend of Korra Season 3!
Sadly, this is just a wordless teaser trailer, so we can’t much tell what the heck is going on…and there is surprisingly little Korra.
But who’s complaining? Bring on Season 3! Though if I’m being completely honest with myself and you, my loyal Internet readers, I’ve mostly been let down with Legend of Korra as a whole. It’s a fine show, I suppose, but it comes up lacking in probably every comparison to The Last Airbender. I’m also disappointed that the entire show isn’t more serialized. Each season is, sure, but Last Airbender was a three-season epic quest to save the world. In Legend of Korra, the bad guys politely wait their turn for each season.
Meanwhile, In The World of Good Trailers, We Have Sin City 2!
Today is apparently a day for trailers for sequels to movies that are at least a decade old! First was Dumb and Dumber To, which was kind of lousy. Fortunately, this new trailer for Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For, is much better.
Though I will say that something looks off with Marv’s makeup, but maybe that’s just me. Another weird thing is that this movie seems to play fast and loose with timelines. Unless Hartigan died years before Marv and before Dwight got his reconstructive surgery. But then I’ve never read a single Sin City comic, so I have no idea what I’m talking about.
Still, Aug. 22, who’s in?
Dumb and Dumber To is Going to Break My Heart
The first trailer for Dumb and Dumber To has been released and it’s…it’s oh man, just watch.
As we all know, humor is subjective. So maybe you guys and gals laughed your butts off at that trailer. But I just…kind of cringed. The jokes were obvious and silly. The ‘edginess’ was clearly forced. Maybe I’m just viewing the original Dumb and Dumber with rose-tinted glasses…
The 6 Best Cameos on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Fair warning, I’m feeling especially adorable this week. Want to know the geekiest show on television? It’s not Big Bang Theory. Nor is it Game of Thrones. The title has to go to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Not only is it a cartoon that has taken fandom by storm, but it is clearly produced by some giddy geeks.
Prepare for horse puns. So many horse puns
What makes me say this? How about the simple fact that they’ve taken a cartoon about cutesy, colorful ponies and filled it with more pop culture references and background jokes than your average episode of Family Guy! And at My Little Pony, they’re actually clever about it. Clearly for the sheer fun of it, the people behind My Little Pony love showing off their geek cred.

Let’s Start the Day With a Little Batman!
The video game convention E3 is in full swing this week, with all sorts of trailers and previews and announcements. I bet it’s just a bunch of fun to be there. Unfortunately, I am not cool enough to get to go, so I’m stuck back here just watching the trailers on Youtube. C’est la vie.
But one of those trailers is a whole mess of gameplay footage for Batman: Arkham Knight!
Just look at the scope of that game! That cityscape is huge! Or maybe it’s just the fact that driving around on the streets in the Batmobile makes it look bigger than when we’re zipping around on rooftops in previous games. Either way, that part looked great. And the Batmobile looks cool…except it instantly made me think of any Grand Theft Auto game, where the moment you start driving around at high speeds is the moment you’re going to cause a ton of collateral damage. The game employee who managed to make turns and drive mostly straight might be good, but the rest of us are going to crash into everything around us. So I guess it’s a good idea to remove pedestrians.
Still, the game looks pretty darn sweet. It’s not enough to convince me to plop down several hundred dollars on a new console, but maybe I’ll get a better graphics card for my computer at least…
