We’ve Been Gifted Happy Gilmore 2
Merry Christmas, everyone! I had a great time visiting family and getting gifts and having a nice day. Now it’s over and I’ve got to go back to work and just…you know how it is. But when I got home from visiting family last night, I discovered a gift that Netflix gave to all of us.
The first teaser trailer for Happy Gilmore 2.
Man, Adam Sandler seems so bored at the end of that trailer. Do you think that’s part of his character? Or does he just not want to make this movie? Whatever the case may be, Happy Gilmore 2 has happened and I’m definitely going to watch it!
Personally, I have zero problem with Adam Sandler’s quote unquote lazy moviemaking style, with his buddies. The only money he’s “wasting” is studio money, and to hell with the studios. Maybe he’ll make an entertaining movie. Maybe he won’t. It does not matter to me. Adam Sandler is awesome and I will gladly support any studio dumping money on him to keep doing his thing.
Also, kudos for bringing back Julie Bowen as the love interest, unlike most movies with decades-later sequels. Looking at you, Top Gun.
Happy Gilmore 2 comes to Netflix in July, I think.

It’s Christmas, Here’s a Unicorn Movie
It’s Christmas this week, on Wednesday specifically. I’m going home to spend time with family and exchange presents, as is the tradition. So I’m definitely going to be pretty lazy about updating this blog this week. So sue me!
But it’s Monday, and Mondays are good for movie trailers. Like this one for Death of a Unicorn from A24.
Looks silly and scary and all that good stuff. I love the parts of the trailer that are about normal people encountering a unicorn. And then it turns scary, because why not? That’s what good movies are all about.
Death of a Unicorn comes to theaters sometime in the spring.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/21/24
Happy Holidays, everyone! For some stupid reason, Christmas is on a Wednesday this year, right in the middle of the work week. I’ve got to go back to work the day after Christmas! Anyway, before that happens, we get to read some new comics like Absolute Batman and G.I.Joe.
Comic Book of the Week goes to another stellar issue of Wonder Woman, this time with a big Detective Chimp cameo to drive it all forward.
Meanwhile, my decision to wait on Dragon Age: The Veilguard paid off because it was on sale this week for 40% off! So I snatched it up and am giving that a try. I’m very much enjoying both Skeleton Crew and Creature Commandos, so I’ve got plenty to watch and enjoy. And this Wednesday I’ll be heading home for Christmas with the family! Everything is humming along nicely.
Also, if I haven’t mentioned yet, Gamer Girl & Vixen Vol. 2: Tyrant Lizard Queen is finished and heading to the printers! So anyone who backed our Kickstarter or would like to read my comics, stay tuned for more info on getting a copy of my comic!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #3, G.I.Joe #2, Power Rangers Prime #2 and Wonder Woman #16.
Read the rest of this entryOur First Superman Trailer is Here!
The hype has been building all week and the trailer is finally here! Our first look at James Gunn’s Superman movie!
I dig it! I like almost all of the elements in this trailer and I am fully on board with this vision of Superman. I’m fully on board with everything James Gunn wants to do or would like to do. I don’t think he has ever led me astray. So bring it on!
I loved Krypto. I loved the look of Superman and pretty much all of the characters. I dig the tone. And we don’t know much of anything yet, so it definitely counts as just a teaser. We see a ton of stuff in this trailer and all of it looks good to me.
The only thing I don’t like is the reliance on the original Superman movie theme and any of that imagery. I know that everybody loves those original Christopher Reeves movies…but I don’t really care about them. And I don’t want every single new Superman adaptation to be beholden to them. I know that musical score is fantastic…but c’mon. This was a great chance to be wholly original. Ah well. I’m never going to win that argument.
Superman comes to theaters on July 11.

I Missed the Outer Worlds 2 Trailer!
I posted a bunch of video game trailers the other day, but I missed a trailer for The Outer Worlds 2! How dare I! I very much enjoyed the first Outer Worlds trailer, and I look forward to that team expanding on everything they built before and making an even better game! The humor seems on point, at the very very least.
What’s not to love? I enjoy these style of games, the first person RPG like Skyrim and the Fallouts. So bring on more! Especially from this proven team, with a really solid and enjoyable sense of humor. I’m all for it.
And, again, The Outer Worlds 2 will come out next year, adding to the giant pile of awesome games we’re all anticipating.
