No, Thomas Jane, It’s The Predator
My article headline will make more sense once you watch this new trailer for The Predator. It’s a pretty gnarly trailer.
I’m definitely going to go see this movie. I’m not a big Predator fan, and I think I’ve only ever seen the original, and that was only in the past 10 years or so. I didn’t watch a lot of movies in the 80s, but am more than making up for that now.
See, dad? If you’d let me go to the movie theater when I was a kid to actually see these classics, maybe I wouldn’t see so many movies now that I’m an adult! Just like with video games…

Venom + Flubber = Internet Comedy
This was a funny video I stumbled upon the other day, and I’d say it’s worth all of the chuckles. Just all of them. Built by the Nerdist. Stay all the way until the end, where it really comes together.
Good old Internet. When it comes to weird comedy, you almost never let me down!
Still no telling how the Venom movie is going to be…

How About Some Avengers Stuff?
Avengers: Infinity War came out on DVD this week, so of course the internet was awash in Avengers-related videos and articles and whatnot. That’s how the internet works nowadays. And if I had any skill whatsoever, I would have done something too, instead of randomly talking about Venom instead.
But speaking of Avengers: Infinity War, how about an Honest Trailer?
Gotta love those things! They’re the bread and butter of the internet.
But how about I do you one better and deliver an 8-bit recreation of the Avengers vs. Thanos fight!
That was put together by those fine folks at Mr. Sunday Movies, a favorite vlogger of mine.
Gotta love all this neat Avengers stuff! Good way to kill some minutes in the day!

6 Movie Ideas for the Venom Cinematic Universe
Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Remember when the movie Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out only four years ago and the SONY movie studio had all these big, amazing plans to create their own Spider-Man-centric shared universe? They wanted a Black Cat & Silver Sable movie, an Aunt May movie, a Sinister Six movie; oh boy, they were going to get themselves a big chunk of that Marvel Cinematic Universe money!
Then their movie bombed and their plans fell apart overnight.
Let’s just all keep our hopes up
Well now they’ve got Venom coming out in a couple of months, and their desperate partnership with Marvel to rehabilitate Spider-Man has worked like gangbusters. So apparently SONY isn’t going to learn from their past mistakes. Word has it that they’re once again ramping up plans for their own cinematic universe using all of the Marvel characters they have the rights to. There are plans for a Morbius movie, a Kraven movie, a Nightwatch movie; Black Cat and Silver Sable are going to get their own separate movies, and even the name “Jackpot” has been circulated as a possible film. Do you remember Jackpot? Jeez la-frickin’-louise! Have they learned nothing?!
What makes things even worse is that SONY no longer has access to Spider-Man to center this interconnected universe around. He’s on loan to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Marvel isn’t about to taint their awesomeness with SONY’s desperation. As well they shouldn’t.
But hey! I’m a reasonable guy! And if the Venom movie is successful and he becomes the new cornerstone of SONY’s big movie plans, I have a couple of ideas for other symbiote movies they can make!
Honestly, Hook is a Great Movie!
I don’t get any of the flack for the movie Hook. How is this movie not universally beloved? I love Hook!
Good job, Honest Trailers people!
I saw Christopher Robin the other day, and it was fine. Nothing special, not really. Oddly, it seemed more geared towards adults than kids. But Pooh Bear and the rest of the gang were fun.
