And Now We’re Moving Right Along!
Foot loose and fancy free!
I must say, I think this is my absolute favorite holiday, if it can even be called that. I need to focus on the Muppets more often.
First Ninja Turtles Movie Trailer is Vintage Michael Bay, Also Features Turtles!
The first official trailer for the new Ninja Turtles movie hit the Internet today and – holy cow – it’s a game changer!
First things first, the Turtles looked pretty badass in motion. They’re big, imposing, but wonderfully animated. Did you see Leonardo? He was a god among ninjas! Though the up close look at Michelangelo’s face in the end, especially without the mask, looked really freaky. And not ‘mutant turtle freaky’, but ‘ugly giant baby face’ creepy. Still, I’m happy.
Second things second, I can’t remember the last time I saw such a ‘Michael Bay’ movie trailer. It’s insane. The music, the narration, the action scenes, ‘Michael Bay’ really has become his own style of moviemaking.
Just When We Thought Quicksilver Might Look Normal
Listen, moviemakers of the world, Quicksilver’s white hair is not that important of a character trait! I know he has white/silver hair in the comics, but there’s nothing about his character, his powers or his potential stories that require the white/silver hair in live action adaptations. Especially when it looks ridiculous!
None of the above is intrinsic to a live action adaptation
We already know that Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past is going to look hideous.
But for a brief moment, we thought Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron would look pretty cool. Remember those concept art pieces that Marvel debuted next week?
Well some shutterbugs at the official filming in Italy have snapped some live action pictures of actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Forget the Quicksilver concept art, because he looks nothing like the image, and instead looks really, really bogus. Mostly. I guess I still prefer this Avengers look to the X-Men version, but man, it’s harsh.

Iceman Rocks in New X-Men: Days of Future Past Trailer!
Check out Iceman, you guys!
Did you see it? How cool was that brief, half-second clip of Iceman going full ice-slide? Badass!
What’s that? The movie is about much more than just Iceman, and he probably won’t appear much at all? Yeah, I guess…but seriously, that looked awesome! As did the rest of the trailer, I suppose. I’m a little lukewarm about X-Men: Days of Future Past right now. Everything about it looks cool, but I’m a little afraid that there’s going to be too much going on. There are dozens of characters, both new and returning, and the plot involves some complicated time travel. I’m worried that the film is just going to be too convoluted!
That trailer doesn’t necessarily assuage my fears. That trailer is filled to the brim with all sorts of insanity, one second after another. That they managed to squeeze in a few seconds of Iceman doing his thing is a perfect example that X-Men: Days of Future Past might just have eyes bigger than its stomach.
The film is out on May 23.
