They’re Making Another Jurassic Movie
We all probably should have just assumed a new movie in the Jurassic franchise was coming. Why would they stop? Didn’t the last one still surpass a billion dollars, even though it wasn’t very good? I don’t know. I don’t keep track. But I do watch trailers! Like this trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth.
Question: If you’re going with a rebirth, why call it Jurassic World? Why not Jurassic Park: Rebirth? Is Jurassic World now the more recognizable franchise name? Though based on the trailer, it’s not like they’re rebuilding the park, so perhaps that name wouldn’t work. But they did rebuild the park in the movie Jurassic World! Now I’m just going around in circles.
Maybe they should have called it something else. Jurassic Island. Jurassic Planet. Jurassic Adventure. Could have been anything, really. Jurassic Galaxy, but it still only takes place on an island.
This trailer looks about as solid as every other Jurassic World movie, so who knows. It comes to theaters on July 2!

First Trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps!
The first trailer is hear and it looks pretty neat! Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel’s first family now in the hands of Marvel Studios, as part of the MCU. I have high hopes for this one, as it seems like the most out-there Marvel release of the year. The trailer looks very standard, in my opinion, but could still be fun.
Looks pretty good. Thing doesn’t look perfect. The action and superhero stuff looks pretty standard. But I still like the vibe of the 1960s. And that one look at Galactus was neat. The whole movie should be a good time and nothing is going to dampen my expectations and excitement!
Fantastic Four: First Steps comes to theaters on July 25!

My 6 Most Anticipated Pop Cultures for 2025
We’re deep into January now, which means this article is pretty late — but also not so late that some of these things have come to pass yet. They’re still in our future, so it’s still safe to talk about them like that.
As I become a bitter old man, all I really have let to cling to are pop cultures like video games, TV shows and movies. And 2025 promises to be a very good year for content, in a world that relies on more and more content. So let’s talk about them for the year ahead!
And feel free to share your own anticipated pop cultures in the comments below!

Welp, the world keeps spinning and we’ve reached the end of another year. It was a crap year full of mostly crap entertainment, and I’m coming up empty in terms of empathy and interest. Following the presidential election, I’m opting to be more cynical these days as a coping mechanism. This was also the year I took a back seat on posting all the time. This was a year.
In good news, I finally started my own original comic — Cover Bard — and am halfway done with the first issue. I need to make a big post about it. And the second volume of Gamer Girl & Vixen is complete and headed to the printers, to be distributed and available for sale early next year. So those were some good things that happened. We also had a ton of great TV shows, but not a lot of great movies or video games. It was a weird year.
But I like putting together a list like this, so join me after the jump for my favorite bits and pieces of pop culture from 2024! And feel free to share your own in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryWe’ve Been Gifted Happy Gilmore 2
Merry Christmas, everyone! I had a great time visiting family and getting gifts and having a nice day. Now it’s over and I’ve got to go back to work and just…you know how it is. But when I got home from visiting family last night, I discovered a gift that Netflix gave to all of us.
The first teaser trailer for Happy Gilmore 2.
Man, Adam Sandler seems so bored at the end of that trailer. Do you think that’s part of his character? Or does he just not want to make this movie? Whatever the case may be, Happy Gilmore 2 has happened and I’m definitely going to watch it!
Personally, I have zero problem with Adam Sandler’s quote unquote lazy moviemaking style, with his buddies. The only money he’s “wasting” is studio money, and to hell with the studios. Maybe he’ll make an entertaining movie. Maybe he won’t. It does not matter to me. Adam Sandler is awesome and I will gladly support any studio dumping money on him to keep doing his thing.
Also, kudos for bringing back Julie Bowen as the love interest, unlike most movies with decades-later sequels. Looking at you, Top Gun.
Happy Gilmore 2 comes to Netflix in July, I think.
