Logan Should Have Ended With a Musical Number
I wasn’t totally sold on this How It Should Have Ended for Logan, but they won me over in the end.
I didn’t realize what they were singing at first, but when they went into the huge ensemble Les Mis-style musical number, they had me. Then Deadpool in a DeLorean was neat. Though I continue to insist that the Batman/Superman cafe callbacks are not nearly as funny as these guys think they are. I’m here for the alternate endings, not the in jokes.
Just sayin’…

Welp, Thor: Ragnarok Looks Amazing!
Surprise! The first teaser trailer for Thor 3: Ragnarok was released online today, and it’s utterly delightful!
Funny, charming, full of character and adventure; this movie looks phenomenal! Love Thor, love the Hulk, love the looks at Loki and Hela — though Jeff Goldblum looks ridiculous.
Also, at 1:05 in the trailer, I’m pretty sure that’s the Executioner with a pair of machine guns. And I’m pretty sure that means we’re getting Gjallerbru. So holy heck, you guys!
Thor: Ragnarok looks amazing!

A New Degree of Terror
Have you seen the trailer for It? I haven’t, because the Internet has delivered something even scarier!
Kudos to But Without for that excellent bit of madness. May you all sleep well tonight.

What Does Woody Harrelson Have Against Apes All of a Sudden?
I’m a big fan of the modern Planet of the Apes movies. They’ve been good and hugely entertaining. So definitely sign me up for the latest one this summer. War for the Planet of the Apes.
But it’s a little weird that the mighty ape king, Caesar, keeps going up against a new human adversary each movie. I suppose it would be even weirder if he fought the same human each time. But still, Woody Harrelson just seems to pop into the franchise with this film.
With everything else in the world coming to an end, why devote any of your resources to trying to go kill a bunch of apes?

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Walks a Weird Tightrope
I don’t know if you’ve heard about this movie, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Based on the trailer, it looks like it’s going to be pretty insane.
Normally, I’d write this movie off as too insane. Like another Jupiter Ascending, it just looks like more crazy space nonsense.
But! It’s directed by Luc Besson, the genius behind The Fifth Element! From the outside, The Fifth Element also looks like crazy space nonsense, but obviously its one of the greatest movies of all time. So can he make lightning strike twice? Can he make another amazing space nonsense movie?
Also, is anyone else a little confused why ‘Valerian’ gets his name in the title, while his female partner, Laureline, seems just as much a star? Just sayin’.
