Movie Trailer Monday
It’s Monday, I have the day off from work and am just snowed in enough that I don’t feel like going out to clean off my car. I was going to see Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire this past weekend, but I didn’t because my car is covered in snow. How’s that for the universe’s sense of humor? Anyway, it’s time to share a couple of movie trailers that came out last week!
First up, Alien: Romulus. I’m not a big Aliens guy, so I’m not super hyped for this franchise or this trailer. But it came out, people are excited, so here we go!
It’s just a teaser trailer, so not too much revealed. But I’d say this trailer does a great job setting the tone, setting what the movie is gonna be like. Lots of running, lots of CGI monsters. The Face Huggers run now. Did they always do that? Or is this a running zombies upgrade? Anyway, looks fine. Not sure what the “Romulus” subtitle is about, but it exists.
Alien: Romulus is coming to theaters on Aug. 16.
Next up is a fun new trailer for The Fall Guy!
This movie looks like a hoot! Funny, charming, full of action and weird story beats. I think this one could be really wild and popular this spring/summer. Maybe this year’s Bullet Train, only it has more success at the box office than Bullet Train.
The Fall Guy comes to theaters on May 3.
Lastly, a fuller trailer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
I want to like this movie. I’m going to see this movie in theaters opening weekend. But I stand by my claim that Furiosa did not need an origin story movie. I don’t know how this is supposed to compete with or compare to Fury Road. That movie was a masterpiece. Why not make a sequel? We already know that Furiosa isn’t going to achieve any of her goals in this new prequel. But we’ll see.
At least Chris Hemsworth looks like he’s having a ball as the villain!
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga comes to theaters on May 24.

Our First Look At Furiosa, the Prequel We Don’t Need
Mad Max: Fury Road is a masterpiece of filmmaking. It’s so damn cool, so damn fun. And rather than make a sequel, we’ve got a prequel about the Furiosa character. Make no mistake, the character is great, but does she need a prequel? Do we really need to see her story when we already know the coolest part?
I think the trailer looks pretty good. But the CGI is very noticeable, especially considering that Fury Road was hyped because of the practical effects. And is Anya Taylor-Joy a good replacement for Charlize Theron? I guess we’ll find out. I’m definitely going to see this movie in the theaters, but this first look is a mixed bag of awesome and hesitant.
Furiosa comes to theaters on May 24.

Mad Max: Fury Road is Honestly One of the Best Movies of the Summer!
I’ve seen a handful of movies so far this year, and Mad Max: Fury Road is the surprise smash hit so far! It’s neck-and-neck with Avengers: Age of Ultron for my true favorite. And Screen Junkies recognizes this awesomeness with a great Honest Trailer!
If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and find a way to watch Mad Max: Fury Road. Maybe it’s still in theaters somewhere! Or wait for the DVD! It’s every bit as great as any action movie could be!

This is Probably the Ideal Way to Start a Glorious Day!
I present to you, courtesy of the Internet, Mad Max: Fury Road in the style of Yakety Sax! And not just regular Yakety Sax, but heavy metal Yakety Sax!
Now just go ahead and let that stick in your brains for the rest of the day! You’ll be all set!
Unfortunately, the Mad Max: Fury Road DVD doesn’t come out until October! That’s forever from now! Ugh. Ah well, thanks to 6S Films for making this little diddy.

Furiosa with a Lightsaber Just Makes Sense
An enterprising Youtubist named Krishna Shenoi had the rather brilliant idea to edit Star Wars into Mad Max: Fury Road, giving the summer’s greatest new action hero, Furiosa, her own lightsaber!
The Internet exists for neat stuff like this, and my blog exists to help spread its glory. Granted, it ain’t like my blog is the bee’s knees of the Internet or anything, but I do alright. And I love me some Mad Max: Fury Road!
