The Honest Truth about Captain America: Civil War
Oh Captain America: Civil War, you were the only great thing we had this summer. Honestly.
I watched the movie again just the other day, and it still holds up. Great Spider-Man, great Ant-Man, great everybody. Bring on even more! And lets get Honest Trailers for all of them!

Why Marvel Movies Don’t Have Any Catchy Theme Songs
Can you think of any memorable music from any of the Marvel movies? The fine people at Every Frame a Painting know why!
Personally, I’m a fan of the Avengers theme song, but I suppose that one hasn’t caught on yet. I can’t play it by ear, but I know it when I hear it. This is a pretty fascinating video. I can honestly say I don’t think about music very much, especially in movies. Though I’m also easily susceptible to being emotionally manipulated in a film with the right musical cue.
And it is kind of sad that none of the Marvel superheroes have their own little theme song. It could be played when they appear on screen!

The Star of PeeWee’s Big Holiday Has Been Cast as Deathstroke the Terminator!
The breakout character in PeeWee’s Big Holiday was, without a doubt, Joe Manganiello, played by actor Joe Manganiello. He was just fantastic! And I have some good news for everybody: he’s now also been cast as Deathstroke the Terminator in the DC Cinematic Universe. Most likely, he’s going to face off against Batman in the upcoming solo Batman movie.
It’s a little outside his comedy range, but I think this guy can pull it off.
Will he be as good as when he played Joe Manganiello? I guess we’ll see. He’s also got to live up to the great Deathstroke in Arrow. At the very least, here’s a Batman villain who can actually fight Batman. That should be fun.

First Sneaky Look at Movie Shocker!
I don’t normally like to set photos from movies still in production, because part of me feels like it ruins the magic. But this one is pretty awesome, because it’s our first look at the costume of the Shocker in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming movie! It’s a very homemade sort of look, but it fits the character’s color scheme at least, which is cool. Word has it that actor Bokeem Woodbine is playing the role.
Word also has it that this is just Shocker’s first costume, and that maybe he gets an upgrade later. Sounds good to me. The Shocker is one of my favorite Spider-Man villains, and I am very excited to see him in the movie. He’s perfect for a minor role, to give Spidey more bad guys to punch without overloading the movie with villains.

Weird Trailers Could Be a Thing!
So apparently this guy Aldo Jones takes movie trailers and Photoshops the heck out of them! Or whatever the program is that allows him to completely alter video and add wackiness. You tell me. But here’s Jones taking a hilarious crack at the Justice League trailer.
That altered trailer is sufficiently wacky. And he’s got a whole bunch of Weird Trailers to enjoy and waste the day with! Sounds good to me.
