Yoda Welcomes Us to Monday
I came down with something rather gnarly over the weekend, so my planned article about the awesomeness of Cyclops is gonna be slightly delayed. I’ll try to get it up sometime this week, once I’m in fighting shape. Until then, the kind people at Bad Lip Reading offered this gem.
Is there anything Yoda can’t do?

Liking the Warcraft Movie Might Be My Line in the Sand
I get it, people didn’t like the Warcraft movie. I enjoyed it, despite its faults. But in order to truly know a movie, we’ve got to sit through the various Internet parodies that come around.
Alas, Cinema Sins, I cannot fault you for being right. But let us hope we do get that sequel! I’ll even watch it in Chinese if I must!

Kong: Skull Island Gets a Full, Ape-Filled Trailer!
So, uh, this is kind of surprising. We’ve got a new Kong: Skull Island Trailer, and it’s, well…
Did we know that John C. Reilly was gonna be in the movie as a wacky comedy relief? He seems funny, but, like…is anyone else getting that strange feeling? Hear me out. The new Godzilla movie was really popular, and a definite success. And Hollywood now wants to pit Godzilla against King Kong again, and they’re creating a whole united franchise here. But this trailer…
The biggest complaint people had with Godzilla was that the titular kaiju wasn’t in a lot of the movie. That was not a complaint I shared. I was fine with the reduced screentime.
But look at this trailer: it opens with a catchy pop song. That has quickly become a cliche. We see a ton of Kong, as well as all manner of other monsters. No subtlety here. And then John C. Reilly randomly shows up to deliver all the trailer-worthy one-liners. This trailer was clearly made in an assembly line. And what does that mean for the movie as a whole?

Wonder Woman Will Protect Us On Election Day
Today’s the big day, America! Let’s do it to it and vote and stuff. I guess. I don’t know about you, but I’d much prefer just to watch videos where the new Wonder Woman movie trailers are synced up to the classic Wonder Woman TV show theme song!
Kudos to Sebastian Hughes for making it happen. This stuff is just super fun!

The LEGO Batman Movie Looks Just as Good as The LEGO Movie
I do no sling this praise around lightly. The LEGO Movie was a gorram masterpiece — though at this point, I’ve seen it so many times that the shine has kind of worn off. Regardless, it’s great, and the sequel about LEGO Batman and Robin looks just as amazing.
Hilarious! Masterful! The LEGO Batman Movie is looking like another bit of glory and goodness. Can’t wait!
