I’ll Pretty Much Post Anything in LEGO
The Wolverine comes out this weekend, and to prepare, how about you watch one of the trailers remade entirely in LEGO?
My hat is always off to the brave LEGO animators who put something like this together. It just looks like a ton of fun. If I had any skill whatsoever in anything other than poking my chubby fingers into a keyboard, I would make one myself.
6 Things I Want From the Batman/Superman Movie
Holy cow, Comic-Con International was FULL of movie news this past weekend! Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, Days of Future Past, Godzilla, Hunger Games; it was a madhouse of movie news, spoilers and trailers! We haven’t seen a lot of those trailers yet, but the descriptions online have been stunning. Us movie geeks are in for a good couple of years. But I think the biggest, coolest surprise announcement was that the sequel to Man of Steel is going to be a team-up between Superman and Batman!
And even though I didn’t like Man of Steel, I’m nothing if not a sucker, and I can appreciate the wonderful excitement of a Batman/Superman team-up movie just as much as the next guy! I’m not made of stone, people!
2015 is gonna be a wild year
Meanwhile, the Justice League movie has been pushed back to 2017, if it even happens. Frequent readers of my site might remember that I had absolutely no confidence in DC and Warner Bros. to make a Justice League movie by 2015. But that didn’t stop me from making a list similar to this one, and a Batman/Superman team-up was my #4 choice for what I’d want to see in a Justice League movie. So seeing DC simply do this film first is a very cool turn of events. It fills me with…something close to hope. But DC has messed up their superhero movies before. I didn’t like Superman Returns, I didn’t like Man of Steel and I didn’t like Green Lantern. So if DC wants to finally make me happy (and I’m sure they do), here are my six suggestions for the Batman/Supermean movie.
Turtle Van Doing Its Turtle Thing
So Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie is in full-on production, with set photos floating all around the web. I haven’t been following this movie very closely, and I’m not sure why. Ninja Turtles was probably my favorite cartoon as a kid, and I wasn’t too miffed when the Michael Bay camp said his turtles were going to be aliens. It’s stupid, but I can be forgiving. We preach peace and tolerance here at Henchman-4-Hire.
The truth is I simply don’t want to clog down my blog with pictures of Megan Fox or guys in motion-capture turtle suits. Neither of those things is legitimately interesting to look at. However, a new photo surfaced today that I just had to share! Because if there’s one thing I’ll definitely post on my blog, it’s pictures of the Turtle Van!
We all wish we had one
Or as some of you might know it, the Party Wagon. I like it. Though how are they supposed to drive with the window blocked up like that? And would it have killed them to make a 100% accurate version of the cartoon Turtle Van? That thing would be boss! I like that the movie is actually including the Turtle Van. I have no idea what to expect from this upcoming film. Will it be any good? Does it even need to be good to succeed? Clearly people pay tons to go see the crappy Transformers sequels.
First Look at Nova Costume!
Marvel Studios indisputably confirmed this past weekend that the Nova Corps would be in Guardians of the Galaxy, which means that someone must have read my List of Six about the things I want to see in the movie. Nova Corps was #2 on my list. So I am very, very excited about this confirmation.
For those who don’t know, the Nova Corps are intergalactic space cops. Using the rocket-like power of the Nova Force, they patrol the cosmos ensuring law and order. They’re pretty much a knock-off of the Green Lantern Corps from over at DC Comics, but something tells me Guardians of the Galaxy is going to be a much better movie than Green Lantern. Just a hunch.
Unfortunately, as excited as I am to see the Nova Corps on screen, I am less than thrilled at their costumes. Join me after the jump to see the uniforms in all their glory!
So Many Comic-Con Trailers!
This has been one heck of a Comic-Con. I wish I was there and could give you guys and gals the news directly, but for now, I’m sitting here reading about it online like the rest of you. I’m always watching some awesome trailers – at least the ones that are being released to the public. But I am not a picky guy. I’ll watch whatever they give me. And I’ll also share it with you fine people.
Arrow, Season 2:
That looks cool. Ollie going through some personal crisis. Felicity creating a new Arrow Cave. A possible name change (good!). Roy Harper doing more to become a hero. And I’m pretty sure that was Black Canary at the end! Arrow Season 2 looks like it’s going to be a blast.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
I loved the first film, and it looks like I’m going to love the second film. I’ve never read the books, so I don’t know what to expect, so this is the first time I’ve heard that Katniss has to compete in a second Hunger Games. I had no idea that’s what happened. I thought the sequel was just going to be about the political stuff, which I really enjoy. One of my favorite scenes in the first film was when District 11 tried to revolt. So I’m excited for this sequel.
The Walking Dead Season 4
Also good. All of these trailers are awesome. Walking Dead’s going to deal with a larger group now, with more deaths, and some internal drama. I like the sound of all of that.
