So is the Apocalypse Cancelled or Not?

Inexplicably, there’s yet another Pacific Rim trailer! I’m not complaining, mind you, but how many of these are they going to make?

I guess projections for Pacific Rim just aren’t good so far. Why is that? How can anybody predict how well or how poorly the movie is going to do? I’m fired up and pumped for this film. I’m going to be there opening weekend! I want to see giant robots fighting giant monsters, gosh darn it! But I guess some people aren’t? You’d think with all these trailers they would have at least thrown in some kind of romantic subplot, right? Isn’t Hollywood cynical enough to think they need to appease women by throwing in a romantic subplot? Maybe a human falls in love with a monster. It could happen!

Reno 911 Guys Try Priests This Time

The creators of the Comedy Central classic Reno 911 are making a movie about exorcism. Here’s Hell Baby!

Sadly, it’s not a prequel to Hellboy. But it still looks kind of funny. It’s also nice to know that Rob Corddry is still getting work.

 

6 Things I Want to See in the Dr. Strange Movie

Dr. Strange movie rumors have started percolating across the Internet, and a big announcement is expected at Comic-Con this year. The Sorcerer Supreme has long been hinted at being in pre-production, but it seems the time has finally come to turn those rumors into fact. Good for Dr. Strange. Personally, I’ve never been a fan, but I definitely encourage Marvel Studios to reach beyond their comfort zone for new movies. Nobody expected Iron Man to be such a huge hit, after all.

So how exactly is Marvel going to fit Dr. Strange into their ever-growing Movieverse?

They’ll have to make some room

For those who don’t know, Dr. Strange is a superhero who does magic. There’s a big dangerous world of black magic and mysticism out there, and Dr. Strange is our defender, using his own power to keep us safe from evil sorcerers and Voldemorts. But Dr. Strange is not just some Copperfield-esque stage magician. He really knows magic, with a whole host of spells, artifacts and incantations at his disposal. The Marvel Movieverse has touched upon magic before – through Thor, Loki and Asgard – but never on the scale of Dr. Strange. He’ll bring a whole new style to the movies, and I for one am looking forward to a Dr. Strange movie. Being the helpful blogger that I am, here are 6 suggests for Marvel Studios on how to make a great Dr. Strange movie!

Mighty Morphin’ Power Fellowship, and Other Great Internet Stuff

My friend found the comedy videos of UnusualSuspect2013 today, and they simply have to be shared. I don’t know how someone could get the idea in their head to mash-up the Power Rangers with Lord of the Rings, but they do, and it’s brilliantly fun.

Not only that, but they made one for the Avengers and the A-Team as well!

I say more, UnusualSuspect2013! Make us more!

I Support All Things Pacific Rim and Idris Elba

Apparently Pacific Rim is still coming out with new trailers. And like I predicted the last time I posted a trailer, each and every one of them has feature star Idris Elba’s big line: “We are canceling the Apocalypse!” Now it seems the trailers love that line so much, they’ve built an entire trailer around it.

It’s a great line, sure, but now when I actually see it in the movie, it’s not going to have any effect on me because I’ve been oversaturated with cancelled Apocalypses.
