Some Social Media Twerp Probably Got a Raise for This Ninja Turtles Tweeting Idea
Update: Donatello!
There’s a new trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the way – possibly today – but in order to see it, we’ve all got to start tweeting about the movie. Specifically, the producers want us to Tweet about each individual turtle, thereby unlocking a series of new posters, ending with the trailer itself. Click the link to see for yourself.
It’s a nifty idea, and I bet some kid the studio hired to be their ‘social media technician’ came up with the idea. Those are real jobs, I’m almost positive.
Mostly I just care about these new posters, which show off the full Turtles! Of course, the best turtle, Leonardo, was unlocked first. Donatello came last, so I’m gonna post him up here on top!
NEEEEEEEEEERD!
And he looks freakin’ awesome – except for the nose. Those noses are definitely weird.
But overall, I like the Turtles’ new looks. They’re different, and different is good. Click the jump to see Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo!
Star Wars By Way of Guardians of the Galaxy
Some Internet genius mashed up Star Wars with one of those awesome Guardians of the Galaxy trailers. The result is nothing short of brilliance.
Someone give The Unusual Suspect a medal, because he (or they) have won the Internet for today. That was probably the best trailer mash-up I have ever seen. And it makes me re-appreciate Star Wars like never before!
Stop the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off!
Two final trailers have landed for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and both are pretty epic. They should have just called this movie ‘Monkeys with Machine Guns’. Actually…I claim that title! Copyright pending!
I’ll definitely be seeing this film on opening weekend. I liked the first one, and this one just looks cool. Less James Franco is always a plus. The movie opens July 11.
New Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer Pleases and Sparkles
A new international trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy has been released, and it takes a somewhat more serious tone than the previous, music-heavy trailers. I like it!
Obviously the big addition is more Rocket Raccoon, and he is hilarious! The banter in this trailer is top notch. The rest of the movies this summer will probably be good, but Guardians of the Galaxy looks like it’s going to be the jewel of the Summer!
Khal Drogo as Aquaman is Probably the Best Choice Imaginable
The rumor mill is swirling again around casting in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, this time claiming actor Jason Momoa will make a brief cameo as Aquaman. This particular rumor has been around for awhile, abut now it’s apparently been confirmed by HitFix. Momoa, of course, is most famous for playing Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones and the titular barbarian in the recent Conan the Barbarian movie.
Roles which clearly make him the perfect choice to play the big screen Aquaman, and I mean that with complete sincerity!
Those idiots better not dye his hair blonde…
Hear me out: Aquaman has an image problem, everybody knows this. Everyone the world over views him as a joke. Noted Batmanologist explained why once upon a time: Aquaman’s only real introduction to mainstream audiences was Super Friends, which was a pretty crummy presentation all around. Guys like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman eventually had their own movies and TV shows to wipe away the memories of Super Friends, but not Aquaman. So people are going to think of him as a joke above all else, and that is clearly something the people behind Batman v. Superman need to address.
And I think casting Jason Momoa is the perfect idea!
How do you make Aquaman cool? Transform him from a skinny white guy in an orange shirt into a massive, badass barbarian!
I don’t usually comment on casting rumors like this, at least not until they’re made official. But I wanted to say something this time because I think Momoa would be a perfect reboot of Aquaman! Nothing says the movie Aquaman has to be comic book accurate. Movie Atlantis can be anything the producers want. So why not make it more of a barbarian culture? Not saying Momoa can only play barbarians, obviously, but he doesn’t look anything like comic book Aquaman. I think that clearly means director Zack Snyder is going for a different version of Aquaman for his films, a more badass version, and I think that would be great.
I also stick by my suggestion that Aquaman be the post-credits teaser.
