Thor: Ragnarok Hype Is Real!
Thor: Ragnarok is only, like, two months away! And the hype is very real! So real, in fact, that the people at the Nerdist made this awesome, 80’s-style movie trailer to go along with the movie’s already spectacular 80’s style!
The internet does good work, people. The Nerdist does good work. I’m just glad I get to be here to reap the rewards!

New Hellboy Has Dumb Hair
They’re making a new Hellboy movie, which is fine. I’m disappointed that it’s not Hellboy 3 with Ron Perlman, but we can’t always get what we want. The new film is slated to come out January 11, 2019, which is an insane release date for a movie. January is usually a dumping grounds…but I suppose studios have been trying to reclaim it.
Anyway, the studio and actor David Harbour shared the first look at the new Hellboy!
At least he’s red
And his hair is dumb. I mean, come on! First of all, he looks exactly like Perlman, which is just weird. And second, long hair? How thought that was a good idea? He looks silly! So so silly.

There’s a New Pixar Movie Coming Out!
Question for the group: have we passed the point where original Pixar movies are guaranteed to be amazing? I enjoyed Inside Out, sure, but I don’t think it holds a candle to stuff like The Incredibles, Wall-E or any of the Toy Storys. Whereas stuff like Brave and The Good Dinosaur (which I still haven’t seen) disappoint. So when we see the trailer for Coco…are we guaranteed an amazing movie?
It looks amazing, sure! I’ll gladly grant it that. But when we’ve got stuff like Wreck-It Ralph and Moana coming out of Disney, and Kubo and the Two Strings (spoiler alert: he had three strings) from Laika, are we really just going to roll over and let Pixar stay at the top of the hill? I suppose we’ll see when Coco comes out later this year.

How Wonder Woman Should Have Ended!
Wonder Woman was a hit this year, which is great! She’s a great hero and more women need to be at the front of big time superhero movies. So, of course, Wonder Women gets the typical parody treatment!
This was an OK video. The Moana bit was inspired and the voice-acting was superb, but I think the ending was a bit too focused on mocking Batman. At least the How It Should Have Ended people shook up the normal status quo and didn’t have Batman and Superman in a cafe!

6 Star Wars Things I Don’t Care About
Anticipation is ramping up for Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi in December. Everybody is excited about the new trailers, the new toys, the new details and all manner of other stuff. I’m right with them. I love Star Wars and I’m looking forward to the new movie.
But here’s the thing: there’s a lot about Star Wars that I just don’t care about.
Why don’t their faces line up?
The Internet may be awesome, but it has given rise to an insane cannibalistic love of all things geek, especially Star Wars. Even though we’re all super excited to see the movie in all its glory, Internet writers and fans will gladly and eagerly pick apart any minor detail that might slip out between now and the premiere. Like piranhas, every possible hint of information will be plastered all over the Internet. Without a doubt, if the script of The Last Jedi somehow got leaked onto the web, more than a dozen different websites would read it and spoil everything just because they can. Madness! Surely we need some patience when it comes to Star Wars details.
To that end, I’ve decided to put together a list of Star Wars stuff that I don’t care about and am not chomping at the bit to learn or see. Keep these spoilers to yourselves, websites!
