The Honesty of The LEGO Movie is Hard to Admit
Fortunately, the good people at Screen Junkies are willing to look beyond the sheer awesomeness of The LEGO Movie and reveal what it’s really about.
Sigh, that was funny. That was a damn good video. But I won’t stop loving The LEGO Movie, I won’t! I want kids to get into LEGOs. By all means, buy your children LEGOs! Let them all in love with a quality movie like this and then buy them all the LEGOs they could ever dream of getting! The world will be a better place for it.

So Chris Pratt is Definitely Leading an Army of Raptors
My favorite Super Bowl commercial this year was the new trailer for Jurassic World, which confirms that Chris Pratt will indeed be some kind of Raptor King.
This trailer is a fair bit cooler than the first trailer. Solid Super Bowl advertisement. But where was the Super Bowl ad for Ant-Man?!

A Day of Fan-Made Trailers!
A bunch of very talented people from all across the Internet have decided to use their video-editing skills for the good of mankind, and have produced a couple of really neat fan-made movie trailers! And seeing as how it’s Thursday, I thought I’d share.
Here we’ve got Captain America: Civil War by Alex Luthor.
Luthor then also graces us with his take on a Black Panther trailer.
And finally, a fella going by Prox added a darker, possibly cooler soundtrack to Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Behold the First Teaser Trailer for the New Fantastic 4!
Usually movies have to wait for a sequel before they start replacing letters with numbers, but the new Fantastic 4 movie doesn’t have time to waste. So behold, the first teaser trailer for Fant4stic!
I know fandom is prepared to hate this movie, and I’d like to think I’m going to approach this with open eyes, but the trailer doesn’t do much for me yet. The movie looks slick, that’s for sure, but this trailer is a little too moody for my tastes right now. It doesn’t say ‘get excited for the new Fantastic 4 movie’, it says ‘there’s going to be a new Fantastic 4 movie, and here’s a glimpse of what it looks like’. Though I do like the angle that this is a sci-fi movie with a Fantastic 4 twist. And how there is zero attempt to connect to the previous films.
I guess FOX is just hoping that nobody cares enough to remember those other films, and that they’ll embrace this brand new attempt instead.
I’ll definitely go see the movie, and heck, maybe it will even be good, but it has an uphill battle ahead of it this year. Once Age of Ultron hits theaters, nobody is going to care about Fant4stic.
Jeez. It pains me to type that. At any rate, the movie comes out on Aug. 7.

Sweet Avengers Trailer Mash-Ups
Oh Internet, how I love you. You deliver us joyous videos like this Star Wars/Age of Ultron mash-up.
This bit of greatness comes courtesy The Unusual Suspect, the genius that delivered the previous Star Wars/Guardians of the Galaxy mash-up. This man is doing the Internet Lord’s work, and we are all better for it. This Ultron video was especially good.
But wait, there’s more! How about this mash-up of The Avengers and Watchmen?
Considering Disney owns both Age of Ultron and Star Wars, they should hire this guy and make these videos legit marketing for both movies! General audiences would eat this stuff up! And The Unusual Suspect needs to become more famous.
