Once Upon a Time, I Actually Liked Batman Forever
I was a big Robin fan even back then, plus I was young and stupid. I’d like to think I’m smarter now, but I do still love Robin.
Thankfully, we have Cinema Sins to take care of all our movie taunting now. I tried to rewatch Batman Forever a few years ago, because I still had fond-ish memories, but I couldn’t get through the first 5 minutes.

The Anticipation is Killing Me!
Only 8 more days until Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Thank you, random LEGO video, for helping to tide me over. Every little bit helps. And thanks to Toscano Bricks for making it in the first place.

Should Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Have Even Begun?
I don’t remember if I’ve gone on record or not, but I relatively enjoyed last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie – for what it was. It wasn’t a great movie by any means, it was just another in a long line of interesting TMNT adaptations. It’s not the defining take on the Turtles. There will be many more. Regardless, it’s fodder for all our favorite movie mocking Youtube videos!
How Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should have ended.
Alas, they were so close in not including their Superman or Batman jokes. Maybe someday we’ll get a video from the HISHE people without those two…but considering a recent trailer, probably not. Personally, I’m looking forward to the sequel! It’s gonna have Bebop and Rocksteady!

The Trailer Train Continues with Jurassic World
Yet another movie trailer has fallen in our laps today, this time for Jurassic World. I think it’s because all these big summer movies want to have trailers in front of Avengers: Age of Ultron in less than two weeks. Makes sense, but man, talk about losing hype. I’m all trailered out.
The movie looks fine. I don’t have particularly high hopes, and I still think Chris Pratt looks kind of silly, but whatever. He’s right: dinosaurs are awesome, and this is the premiere dinosaur franchise. How else are we going to get dinosaur movies?
No, seriously, why are there no other dinosaur movies? What about Dino-Riders? Why is that not a thing yet?!

New Fantastic Four Trailer Has a Lot of Stuff!
Desperate to join the party, a new trailer for the Fantastic Four movie hit the Internet today. I don’t see why they couldn’t wait until the hype died down from the Ant-Man, Star Wars and Batman v. Superman trailers, but let’s keep this party going!
I don’t know how I feel about this new trailer. I don’t know if I’m suffering from trailer overload or what, but I’m just…underwhelmed. Sometimes I forget that this movie is even coming out this Summer. I dunno. The new trailer shows off a lot of action, a lot of powers, a lot of neat character moments; it’s got everything a good trailer should have. But I just don’t really care.
I mean, I’ll definitely go see it. But Fantastic Four is definitely the forgotten son of the summer.
Here’s a cool movie poster that illicits the exact same reaction from me. The characters sure do look neat, right? I think the AVClub’s detached apathy explains things pretty well.
