Movie Trailer Wednesday: Mayday and Digger
The Odyssey is coming out this weekend and a lot of new movie trailers have arrived so that they can be attached to The Odyssey. Or maybe they’re just coming out for the fun of it? I don’t know how movie trailer releases work, despite being a big fan of movie trailers for 30+ years. Oh well. These two came out yesterday and I wanted to share.
First up is Mayday, an action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh coming to AppleTV.
I think it looks great! Looks like a ton of fun. I have no turned on Ryan Reynolds like most people, so I’m all in favor of this. The biggest pull is that the film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. These are the geniuses behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, with some solid writing credits under their belts. These guys make good movies, so I’m definitely keeping an eye on Mayday, and you should too.
Mayday comes to AppleTV on Sept. 4.
Next up is Digger, this super important Tom Cruise movie. I saw the Digger teaser trailer ahead of a movie in theaters a few weeks ago, and the trailer was like 5 full minutes of glazing Tom Cruise’s career. So I guess everything has been building to Digger?
It looks neat. Looks like a smart satire, which I always enjoy. And it’s got John Goodman, so that’s great. I guess it just looks like a big, important, funny movie that will use star power to stay something powerful? I dunno. I just thought it was a trailer worth sharing.
Digger comes to theaters on Oct. 2.

Movie Trailer Monday: Not Alone
It’s Monday. I’m going back to work. Life moves on. How about a new movie trailer? It’s Not Alone by Illumination! Looks pretty cute.
I think it looks pretty neat. The movie could go in very many directions. Since it’s Illumination, it will probably going in the direction where those little alien are the entire stars of the film. But the soundtrack to the trailer, and the little love story they’ve got going on, could be fun, right? Could be something different? I’ll just keep hoping.
Not Alone comes to theaters…next April. That’s forever in the future!

Here’s That New Avatar Aang Trailer
I’m as much a fan of the Last Airbender universe as the next person. I enjoyed the original show, I enjoyed Korra for the most part. I think I was very mid about the first live action season and haven’t gotten around to the second season…so huh, yeah, that seems typical fan to me!
There’s gonna be a new animated movie. It was supposed to go to theaters, but got knocked down to streaming. And then it got super pirated. So this movie has faced a lot of stumbling blocks. I didn’t watch the pirated version. I’m fine waiting for streaming.
Looks fine to me…it also looks just fine. I don’t think the Avatar fandom is strong enough to support a theatrical release, so putting it to streaming makes sense to me. Should be a nice adventure for Team Avatar. I don’t think it looks all that intense or super exciting or all that meaningful…we know the fate of these characters. But…they made it, so I’ll get around to watching it one of these days.
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender comes to Paramount+ on July 25.

Just Some Lord of the Rings Fun from the Internet
The internet is a big, wild and scary place. And sometimes it can be fun. Like this Lord of the Rings song by Tom Cardy, which has been animated by Scum House Studio. Just watch, enjoy and go about your die.
I live for random stuff like this from the internet. It can bring joy. We can still experience joy. It’s just a funny bit and I hope you liked it as much as I did.

6 Thoughts on Supergirl (Review)
I love last year’s Superman movie. I love James Gunn films. I love Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. So I was very excited to see the new Supergirl film. I’m excited to see a lot of superhero movies. But I have full faith in James Gunn and company to pull of a new, expanding DC Universe of movies. Superman was a great start! Let’s keep it going! Let’s have more fun!
Movie Rating: 4/10 – Pretty Bad
I wanted to like Supergirl. The online discourse is very negative around this film for the usual reasons. And if it needs to be said, I’ll say it right now: that’s all idiot nonsense. Anyone that uses the word ‘woke’ unironically — especially to bash a movie for having a female lead — is not a good person. So if it needed to be said: I am not that kind of person or pop culture afficionado. I got no problem with Milly Alcock. I got no problem with Supergirl as a character. I’m not about that life. I just didn’t care for this movie.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Supergirl. Expect FULL SPOILERS for both the movie and the comic, Woman of Tomorrow. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!
