I Have Not Watched This Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer
Ghostbusters: Afterlife comes out in a couple of weeks and the Powers That Be released a short new trailer yesterday. I’m excited for this film, and normally I love watching trailers, but I have not watched this one. And I advise you to not watch it either. Apparently, it’s full of spoilers. DON’T WATCH THIS TRAILER.
Thankfully, other internet sites who have shared this trailer have watched it and revealed that it’s full of spoilers. So thankfully, I didn’t watch it and I haven’t had anything spoiled. Hopefully the same has happened to you.
Why then, you might ask, did I even bother to share this trailer if I haven’t seen it and don’t want you to see it? Because it’s just a random Tuesday, I need to be at work soon and I gotta put something up, right? I gotta keep the blog churning? Isn’t that how this works?!
Wait…is that…is that not how this works? Could I have elected not to post anything on this random Tuesday and nobody would have cared? That’s good advice, actually….

Nope, I Still Don’t Care About Morbius
The Morbius movie has a new, extra-large trailer and it does nothing to get me excited for this movie. If anything, it underlines how basic and boring this movie looks. The reminder at the end that it’s coming out in January is all I need to know that this is gonna suck.
The movie feels very basic. There’s the white male lead character, the POC best friend character, and the female love interest. The trailer is very clear about highlighting his super powers, as if anybody goes to a superhero movie because the powers seem cool. The dialogue is hokey, including that Venom joke. I’ve seen both Venom movies. Venom is not well known enough for people to be making Venom jokes like that.
Morbius just doesn’t look good. And I never thought it would be. But I am more than willing for it to prove me wrong when it comes out in the middle of January.

This Lightyear Movie Looks Crazy Good
So Disney and Pixar are making a new movie about Buzz Lightyear as if it was the real ‘person’ and not the toy from Toy Story. The idea is wild, but I’m open to whatever. And this teaser trailer strikes a really great note.
Or I might just be rocking on some great David Bowie.
Will the tone of the movie be more like this song cover or will it be a wacky, space hero adventure? Probably more of the later. But in terms of a really good, really evocative trailer, I really love this one. It’s striking, it’s a little haunting. And that’s a really interesting take on this whole idea. So cool beans!
Lightyear is coming next summer.

6 Things I Want to See in The Batman Movie
The latest trailer for the upcoming Batman reboot was released this past weekend and I thought it was a blast! This looks like a really great Batman movie, and I am as hyped as anybody else. Who doesn’t love a new Batman movie? I do feel a little bit weird getting excited for this film. It wasn’t too long ago that we were already getting some excellent, well-made, very gritty Batman movies. But we’re gonna do it all again anyway!
Honestly, I’m worried that this list is going to be kind of weak. I have loved pretty much everything we saw in both trailers so far. The Batman seems to be going for a very cool tone, which is a favorite among Batman fans. The action looks good. The world looks cool. Batman and all his Bat-stuff looks great. What’s left for there to hope for? Join me after the jump to find out!
Read the rest of this entryLet’s Take Another Look at Ghostbusters: Afterlife!
A new, international trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife arrived on our internets this weekend and gives us an even bigger look at the plot and adventures of this upcoming sequel. And I think the movie still looks fine. It could even be good!
My main takeaway from this trailer is: should Ecto-1 really be doing jumps like that? She’s old, and she’s not built for it. Maybe don’t make her do jumps like that!
Beyond that bit of teeth-gnashing fear for my favorite cinematic car of all time, the rest of the trailer looks good. There’s action, there’s mystery, there’s humor, there’s ghostbusting. I will probably be perfectly happy with this movie, and that’s really all I want from movies most of the time.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife comes out on Nov. 18.
