Let’s Talk Lightsabers!
One of my favorite pop culture Youtube channels is Mr. Sunday Movies. It’s pretty funny and he’s a funny guy. And I need some new video content to share on my blog. So here’s Mr. Sunday Movies talking about lightsabers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
He’s a funny guy with a great channel and you should totally subscribe!
Also, I have little interest in ancient lightsabers showing up in the new movie. I want Rey to build her own lightsaber and I want it to be yellow!

New Mutants is Apparently Going to Be Terrifying!
The New Mutants movie is happening, which I find to be partially insane. Like, surely nobody outside of comics cares about or even knows about The New Mutants. It’s a weird name, when you think about it. And what does the movie have to gain by sticking to the original character roster of The New Mutants in the first place?
And for that matter, why make it a horror movie?!
Looks neat! I would almost be surprised if anybody in the movie actually used their powers. Like, it would practically ruin the tone of the film if Cannonball went all cannonball on the horror, right?!
Anyway, The New Mutants is going to be a movie! It comes out on April 13!

Buncha Star Wars Stuff Happens in This New Star Wars Trailer
I think I’ve been watching too much Red Letter Media, because this new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has left me lukewarm. It’s a cool trailer, don’t get me wrong, with a lot of neat stuff in it…but it’s also just the regular Star Wars stuff.
Look, I love Star Wars as much as the next guy, but I dunno…nothing here really got me excited. So all the characters we know are going to be interacting again, possibly in interesting ways we didn’t expect. But then how many different ways are there to expect? And as I’ve said before, I don’t give two poops about Snoke. That guy can go suck a lemon!
I dunno. We’re so inundated with Star Wars stuff these days that a trailer featuring the same old Star Wars stuff doesn’t get me very excited, I guess. I’m still going to see the movie, obviously. Let’s not get crazy here.

New Justice League Trailer for All Your Justice League Needs
This is actually an OK Justice League trailer. I like it better than the previous one, possibly because it’s got a touch more Joss Whedon in it this time? I don’t know. I’m still mostly expecting this film to be as dark and crummy as Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. But I suppose anything is possible.
Maybe it’ll be fun. Maybe Justice League will exceed expectations and be a good movie. Or maybe it’ll be another dark, action-heavy garbage pile. There’s only one way to find out and it arrives next month!

I’m So Glad Pacific Rim Got a Sequel!
Pacific Rim is an awesome flick about people piloting giant robots to fight monsters. I love this genre, and I’m super excited that we have a big budget action movie franchise! So I’m very excited for Pacific Rim: Uprising and the first trailer is equally exciting!
Some concerns, though. I’m all for John Boyega getting more work, but why couldn’t we follow the adventures of Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori? Mako is probably the best female Asian superhero introduced to mainstream audiences in years! She’s going to be in the new sequel, but only as a supporting character. That’s a disappointment!
Also, Boyega is playing the son of Idris Elba’s character from the first one, Stacker Pentecost. Yet his name is Jake Pentacost? Really? With a name as cool as Stacker, you’re going to name your son Jake? Lame as heck!
At least Charlie Day is also returning. Good to know he’s still getting work in Hollywood.
