Super Bowl Trailers Are Always a Hoot
Last night was the Super Bowl and I didn’t watch because I never watch. Instead, I finally saw Edgar Wright’s The Running Man. It wasn’t that good. I haven’t been a big fan of Wright’s post-Simon Pegg work. But I had a fine and entertaining night, because all the good trailers end up on YouTube pretty much immediately.
So let’s watch a bunch of them!
Like Project Hail Mary. This one should be good. From the writer of The Martian, directed by Lord and Miller. This should be a blast! Don’t watch this trailer, though, if you don’t wany any movie spoilers whatsoever.
I think Project Hail Mary looks really good and should be a treat to watch. It’s got as good a filmmaking pedigree as any movie can in this day and age. And it’s a big space epic. Should be fun.
Project Hail Mary comes to theaters on March 20.
Speaking of space movies, how about Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day. No real spoilers in this trailer.
I have no idea what this movie is about. Aliens? Invasion? They’re already among us? Your guess is as good as mine. I don’t even know if I’m gonna go see this one in the theaters. I suppose I’ll wait and see what the public reaction is like.
Disclosure Day comes to theaters on June 12.
Next up is…um…Minions & Monsters.
What is even happening? I’m no Minions completionist. I think there might be a Despicable Me I’ve missed. Perhaps I’ve even missed a Minions movie or two. I dunno. But wow. That trailer was all over the place and just sorta weird. But I suppose that might also be the point…
Minions & Monsters comes to theaters on July 1.
The He-Man Movie is Just Going For It, Baby!
I watched He-Man and the Masters of the Universe back in the day and had several of the toys. I was an ’80s kid. I barely remember the first movie attempt, also in the 80s. And I’ve enjoyed all of the various reboots I’ve seen over the years (haven’t seen them all). And now Hollywood is trying again with a Masters of the Universe movie. We haven’t seen too much of the film so far…so brace yourselves for this first trailer.
Hooboy, they’re just going for it. Like, they’re slowing down a little bit by having Prince Adam start on Earth, but when they show all the Eternia stuff, it’s just…damn. They’re not holding back! We’ve got Cringer for real. We’ve got Skeletor looking more Skeletor than he’s possibly ever looked! Idris Elba is Man-At-Arms! Fisto is in this!
The age of black leather costumes is past. Now is the age of embracing the insanity and letting it all hang out! And I am here for it! Hopefully we get Ram Man.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5.

These Avengers: Doomsday Teasers Keep Winning Me Over
I’m not ashamed of the fact that I’m a Marvel Zombie. I love Marvel. I’ve loved pretty much every project they’ve put out since Endgame. I’m definitely looking forward to Avengers: Doomsday in December. And these trailers are proving to be a winning strategy.
That’s just fun. Seeing characters interact is going to be one of the great joys of Doomsday, and here we get a taste of it. And it’s a great taste! Bring on the fun character interactions! Bring on more of these teasers!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters next December.

Here There Be X-Men
Alright, I’m fully on board with these Avengers: Doomsday teasers. They’re short and sweet and the new one is pretty cool. It’s the X-Men! The classic Fox X-Men!
Personally, I’m over the Fox X-Men. I’m ready for Marvel to reboot that franchise into their own MCU characters. But we’re here anyway, and I’m probably going to have fun with it, so who am I to stop them? There’s no denying that Ian McKellen is the best there is, so why not let him and his buddy Patrick Stewart have another go? And that Cyclops badassery is choice.
Avengers Doomsday is now less than a year away, next December.

Movie Trailer Monday: They Will Kill You
Behold, what appears to be a pretty fun slasher movie! They Will Kill You popped up on various pop culture websites I peruse yesterday, and it looked neat, so I’m sharing. This is one of those movies that would probably normally fly under someone’s radar. But now you can watch the trailer and perhaps set a date to go to the theater!
It’s a pretty gruesome red band trailer, though, so you may need to watch on YouTube.
Looks pretty fun to me! Similar to Ready or Not. Take a slasher/horror movie, dial the insanity up to 11 — like a flaming axe — and then just have fun with it. Definitely a quality concept for a movie, as far as I’m concerned. And who doesn’t like Zazie Beetz? Good times all around!
They Will Kill You will come to theaters on March 27.
