Amazing New Batman v. Superman Trailer Confirms My Worst Nightmare
The new 3-minute trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice was the talk of Comic-Con on Saturday, and boy does it deliver! I don’t have a lot of faith in this movie (having been disappointed by Man of Steel), but there’s no doubt that this is a pretty exciting, action-packed trailer.
It also features a moment that makes me a sad panda: dead Robin.
You can see it at exactly 2 minutes into the trailer. Batman looks mournfully up at a dark costume with yellow spraypaint. If you pause, it’s clearly a Robin costume, with a message from the Joker. This confirms the rumor that Joker killed Robin at some previous point in the timeline. And even though we know that Joker kills Jason Todd in the comics, and even though most people on the Internet are jumping on this Jason Todd theory, I’m fairly confident that the movieverse isn’t going to bother with a direct adaptation of the comics. I fear that there was only one Robin, Dick Grayson, and the Joker killed him.
Sadness.
Still, at least it’s an awesome trailer. And there’s also the rumor that Jena Malone is playing Carrie Kelley, so we’ll just have to cling to that.

What’s Wrong with Jurassic World?
All I know is that the sequel had better be called The Lost Park: Jurassic World.
At least Batman and Superman didn’t show up in a diner this time around. This was a good one by the How It Should Have Ended peeps, pretty darn funny. I can’t be the only one who’d watch a movie set at a functioning dinosaur park, am I? Why does something always have to go wrong?

The New Ecto-1 Looks OK
More and more new Ghostbusters details have been coming out now that filming is underway, and we’ve got our first look at the new Ecto-1. I am a huge fan of the iconic Ghostbusters car. I used to own the toy as a kid. The LEGO version is probably at the top of my Christmas list. And I would totally drive it for real if I owned one.
So perhaps I’m a little too biased to really appreciate the new Ecto-1.
Where’s the love?
There’s also an Ecto-2 motorcycle picture on the Internet, even though we all know that the real Ecto-2 is a flying motorcycle/helicopter hybrid vehicle. But such is Hollywood!

Honest Trailers: Iron Man!
Once upon a time, I listed the first Iron Man movie as my second favorite film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And now the folks at Screen Junkies are finally taking a poke at it!
Always good videos from these fellas, though this one was a little weak. Still, good times, good times. Maybe they’re gonna drop a few more as we head into Ant-Man!

The Five Stages of Watching a Pixar Movie
Thank you, Only Leigh!
I saw Inside Out the other weekend and it was very good. Not one of Pixar’s best, but still an awesome flick. Unique premise, fun characters, great ending, quality bits of humor and emotion; solid Pixar all around. Of course, considering it came in at #2 behind Jurassic World (which I also saw), probably means that we’re going to get three more highly profitable Cars sequels before we get another really good Pixar movie.
Sigh.
