The Scott Pilgrim Anime Looks Sweet
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a month away and it looks pretty sweet. I love the movie, I enjoyed the comics well enough, and if Netflix wants to spend their money making a full-sized, movie cast-voiced Scott Pilgrim anime, I’m all for it. Should be a fun watch.
Some scenes are recognizable, but a lot of this trailer looks new and crazy. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World did a lot to capture the zaniness of the comic, but this anime is really going hard with it. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off should be a blast next month!
The anime comes to Netflix on Nov. 17.

New Wes Anderson Short Film Incoming
I’m a big Wes Anderson fan! I love his movies, I love their style, I love their energy and their humor; they’re great films. We already had Asteroid City released this year, which I very much enjoyed. And now we’re getting a new short film on Netflix, called The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
This is based on a Roald Dahl short story, which I haven’t read. Anderson already adapted The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Dahl, and is a big Dahl fan. So here’s hoping this Mr. Sugar bit is just as good. It’s not a full length movie, which is fine. I’ll take any Wes Anderson project he feels like putting out.
The Wonderful Story of Mr. Sugar comes to Netflix on Sept. 27.

There is a Lot Going on in Rebel Moon
Rebel Moon is director Zack Snyder’s next big opus, a mind-boggling space opera that’s going to be split into two parts and show up on Netflix at the end of the year. We’ve got our first teaser trailer and it is…a lot. I’m not entirely sure what’s happening, other than a bunch of space opera tropes all being grouped together into a pretty cool trailer.
It all looks visually cool, but this trailer is all over the place. Who is the main character? What is the time period? Are there multiples of everything? Who is rebelling? And against what? And on which moon?
Your guesses are as good as mine. Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire comes to Netflix on Dec. 22. The second part, The Scargiver, arrives on April 19.

Scott Pilgrim Anime Coming in Hot!
I love the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie, and I’ve always been disappointed that it is not this grand, beloved hit film. That thing is great! The comics are good too, though I think they got a little lost in the weeds towards the end. So I’m almost fully on board with Netflix making a Scott Pilgrim cartoon/anime that seems to…just recreate the movie? Or maybe it’s gonna focus more on the comic? Or have some original stuff? I can’t really tell.
Whatever this thing is going to be, I’m sure it will be fun! Looks very hectic, very cool and the animation looks stellar. Bringing back the movie actors to be the voice cast in a choice and I hope it works out for them. I didn’t need the cast to come back. I’m sure voice actors need work too. But I’m on board to see how this whole thing goes.
Scott Pilgrim the anime comes to Netflix on Nov. 17.

How About A Silly Adam Sandler Movie?
Look, it’s been a hectic week, and I’m about to head on a trip into New York City by the end of today. So I’mma just gonna share this Adam Sandler Netflix movie trailer, because I don’t have many other options today. Not a lot of content has come out to share.
Some people don’t like that Sandler just makes movies with his friends, and they probably won’t like that he’s now just putting his daughters into his movies. But I don’t mind. Like I said, I like Adam Sandler. Netflix keeps throwing money at him to make movies, and if he wants to use that money to put his daughters into his movies, that’s fine by me. Maybe they’ll be good actors. Maybe nobody needs to watch this film.
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah comes to Netflix on Aug. 25.
