Only Slightly New Peanuts Trailer, But It Serves My Needs
The first full trailer for the new Peanuts movie was Christmas-themed, as was the style last month. Well a new trailer has hit the web that is almost exactly like the last trailer, except it removes the Christmas decorations. Me thinks this was the original trailer all along, but somebody had the bright idea last time to associate the Peanuts with Christmas.
I’m still happy with what I see of the animation. Maybe this won’t be a big mess.
But the larger point here is that today is movie trailer day! For you see, tonight, during the premiere of Agent Carter, Marvel is going to debut the first full-length Ant-Man trailer! I’m on pins and needles! So I wanted to use this Peanuts trailer as a lead in to the Ant-Man trailer later today. Maybe it will link to the web early, or maybe we’ll all have to wait until tonight to see the trailer hit the web.
Whenever it arrives, I promise you fine folks, I will drop whatever I’m doing and post it!
Let’s hope I’m not holding a baby…

Disney Hires Good People
Did you know that, when I was a wee little Sean, my dream job was to be a costumed mascot in Disney World? That would have been a pretty magical life! But I would have had to be in costume. No way could I pull off something like this Gaston guy.
Apparently this guy is getting kind of Internet famous. Not only is he winning push-up contests, but he once had a battle of wits with a 6-year-old girl.
That’s good people. Though I’m sure I could have handled myself well enough in my Eeyore costume.

It’s Human-Sized! It’s Human-Sized!
I love me a good practical joke, and that ant-sized teaser trailer for Ant-Man was a pretty good one. Fortunately, Marvel didn’t make us wait too long to get a human-sized version! And the full trailer for Ant-Man will arrive for reals on Tuesday! I know I’m excited.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/3/2015
Holy New Year, comic book fans! Not only were there five Wednesdays in December, but the last one fell on New Year’s Eve, which apparently means that both DC and Marvel decided that nobody was going to bother buying comics. Both companies released less than a handful of comics this week, knocking my review pile down to a total of two comics!
The first is the latest issue of Batman Eternal, because DC decided to keep to that weekly schedule of theirs. It’s not as bad as previous issues, but it’s still not the breakthrough we’re all hoping for here at the end. Marvel released the first issue of their new SHIELD series, introducing characters from the TV show into the comic book Marvel Universe. It’s actually very good, and wins Comic Book of the Week with ease!
Since it’s such a slow week, I also decided to finally read and review The Valiant #1 from a few weeks ago. Some of you have no doubt heard of Valiant Comics. It’s always been in the back of my mind, and someone recently recommended to me that I start picking up some of their comics. I’m always trying to stretch beyond Marvel and DC, so why not?
But was it worth the cost? Read on!
Comic Reviews: Batman Eternal #39, SHIELD #1 and The Valiant #1.
What is This? A Trailer for Ants?!
Oh…yes. That’s exactly what it is.
Damn you, Marvel! I want to love you because you’re clever, but I want to hate you for delaying the first Ant-Man trailer for another four days! There is a part of me that is more excited for the Ant-Man movie than I am for Age of Ultron or The Force Unleashed, and I am not ashamed of that.
The trailer for humans is going to air with the premiere of Agent Carter on Tuesday. Hopefully HYDRA comes through for us again and leaks the full thing online before then, because I am chomping at the bit for this baby!
