The New Favorite Movie Trailer Sound
Everybody is familiar with that BWAAAHHH! sound that was in every movie trailer following Inception. Well Internet and movie sleuth Toxyoi has discovered the new favorite sound – which actually sounds kind of like the original sound in reverse.
I wonder how this happens. I’m pretty sure that movie trailers are made out-of-house, meaning they’re not made by the regular film production staff. So there are separate trailer-making studios out there. Are they constantly running focus groups to find the cool new sound? Do they have signs on the walls saying, “Use this sound for the time being”? Do they think nobody will notice and just do it to save time? Are they really so in love with the sound that they want to use it everywhere?
Do they think this is a game?!

Kung Fury
Remember that incredible David Hasselhoff video from a few weeks ago? It seemed to appear out of nowhere in some sort of glorious love-letter to the 1980s. Just as Hasselhoff single-handedly brought down the Berlin Wall, he also brought down the walls around our hearts and made us feel again.
His music video was part of the soundtrack for LaserUnicorns’ “Kung Fury.” The 30-minute action epic is about a cop who was struck by lightning and bitten by a cobra after seeing his partner killed in action, and developed super kung fu powers. With the help of the greatest hacker of all time, he travels back in time to kill Hitler.
The New Ant-Man Poster is a Little More Exciting!
The last Ant-Man poster was your typical ‘stand up straight while everyone else’s faces float around you’. Solid movie postering, I suppose. But this new one is a bit more action packed!
Don’t get shot!
For a second there, I thought Ant-Man had some kind of tiny floating scooter or something. But then I realized it’s a saddle attached to a giant ant. That’s pretty darn cool…and a little concerning. Did they build the saddle in advance to shrink down with him? Or is it a miniature saddle? Questions, questions…
Ant-Man opens at the end of July! And if you start seeing Ant-Man toys in your local stores, let me know! I’m dying to get my hands on a good action figure or some LEGOs!

Once Upon a Time, Armageddon Was My Favorite Movie
But I never saw Armageddon in theaters. I only ever saw it on VHS at home, so…still, it was awesome.
I wonder if it still holds up today. I’m still a huge fan of The Rock, probably the best action movie ever made. That was good era Michael Bay, as the Screen Junkies point out. Logic be damned, Armageddon is good movies.

Redneck Avengers
Bad Lip Reading does it again with a hilarious send-up of the first Avengers movie! Good times with funny words, that’s what this is. Though I would have to imagine this work is painstaking. How do they do it?!
