Birds of Prey Looks Crazier and Crazier!
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is only one month away and so another trailer has landed on our internets to show us how wackadoo it’s going to be! And it’s going to be very wackadoo!
I’m a little nervous about this movie. It comes out in February, early February, which is always an awkward time for new movies. But we’ve had some great ones in past years, like Black Panther and The LEGO Movie. Could Birds of Prey be one of those? I like how it looks so far. I think Margot Robbie is great as Harley Quinn and I have high hopes for the rest of this nifty cast.
But is it going to be too wackadoo for audiences? We’ll find out on Feb. 7!

The New Mutants Movie is Finally Happening!
What a long, strange trip it’s been! Back when FOX Studios still owned the X-Men, they commissioned a spin-off film based on the New Mutants from the comics. FOX went ahead and actually made the film starring the classic comic characters like Cannonball and Wolfsbane, and they made it into a horror movie.
The New Mutants film was supposed to come out…either last year or the year before, but it got indefinitely delayed while Disney went about buying FOX. Everybody thought Disney would just shelve the project, or maybe quietly air it on Disney+ just to get rid of it.
But nope! A new trailer came out today with the promise that The New Mutants will be in theaters on April 3! Fancy that.
Trailer looks pretty darn cool. It succeeds in taking these mutants and putting them in a horror film, that’s for sure. Things look scary. But will it be scary? Will it be a quality film at all? Who knows! But you can be darn sure I’ll be in the theater to find out.
Perhaps now the FOX X-Men franchise can end with a good movie instead of Dark Phoenix last year.

Just, Like, A Couple of Weird Movie Trailers
Look, it’s still technically the New Year’s holiday. Not much is happening in the world. I definitely don’t feel like doing too much work. But I am always up for sharing new movie trailers with you loyal henchies! I love movie trailers, and there are definitely some weird ones coming out recently.
First up is Gretel & Hansel, a modern horror re-telling of the classic fairy tale. Your guess is as good as mine.
Then we have A Quiet Place Part II! The first one was a successful horror movie, and this sequel…looks to capitalize on that!
I liked the first one well enough. I’m sure I’ll see it’s sequel.

My 6 Favorite Things of 2019
Happy New Year, everybody! Like pretty much every pop culture site on the internet, I do a round-up for my favorite things of the past year. Unlike all those professional sites with their professional standards and plenty of employees, I just try to bang out my favorites in a couple different categories. Mostly, there were a ton of good TV shows this year!
I had a little trouble coming up with some bonus categories. I don’t really listen to music, so I can’t judge that. And I need to get my Lists of Six up to six. Sometimes I’ve done my favorite toys of the year, but then I didn’t really buy too many memorable action figures or LEGO models. And sometimes I’d done my favorite new thing on the internet, but I don’t think I saw too many new and exciting things. And there weren’t many memorable movie trailers!
So join me after the jump to see what I eventually came up with! Along with my favorite video games, TV shows, movies and comic books! Feel free to share your own favorites in the comments!
Let’s Get Weird With It With Tenet
I’m home from another lovely Christmas holiday with my family! But I don’t have much to share. In comic book news, I got the first compendium of Saga! That thing is a beast! My family is great!
So let’s just ease back into blogging with the trailer for Tenet, the next weird movie from Christopher Nolan!
I’m not sure what to make of all of this, other than it looks pretty cool! Weird and cool are Christopher Nolan’s cup of tea, and I’m sure we’ll all have a really good time. Somebody remind me to rewatch his Dark Knight trilogy one of these days.
Tenet comes out on July 17.
