There’s Gonna Be More Out Flag Means Death

Our Flag Means Death is a super fun pirate show, and one that evolved into a really fun pirate love story. And thankfully, we’re going to get a second season, and we’re going to get it soon! So good TV all around.

Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby are pretty damn perfect in this show, with a great supporting cast around them. The pirate stuff has also been really fun. They put the production into it. So if you’ve slept on this show already, give it a watch and get caught up, because it’s coming back!

Our Flag Means Death returns to Max on Oct. 5.

A Couple of Neat Movie Trailers

It’s movie trailer Thursday! That can be a thing, right? It’s Thursday, some fun movie trailers came out yesterday, possibly through CinemaCon. And I figured I would share. I like movie trailers. You like movie trailers. The world goes around.

First up is Next Goal Wins, the new film from Taika Waititi. It’s a soccer movie set in America Somoa. I guess it was filmed several years ago, and then had some reshoots, and now it’s finally coming out. Great! I love Taika Waititi movies!

Looks like fun. Some solid Taika comedy alongside an underdog sports movie. Sounds good to me.

Next Goal Wins comes out on Nov. 17.

Next up is A Haunting in Venice, the next part of Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot series. I liked Murder on the Orient Express. I thought A Death on the Nile was pretty mediocre. But I’m all for more of these. There are surely plenty of Poirot mysteries to adapt, right? And if Branagh wants to do it, I say let him.

Looks fine to me! Are ghosts real in the Poirot stories? Probably not, but I’m sure he’ll be fine on this murder mystery.

A Haunting in Venice comes to theaters on Sept. 15.

6 Thoughts on Thor: Love and Thunder (Review)

I loved Thor: Ragnarok. It was one of the best, funniest movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I love the other works of director Taika Waititi. The dude is very creative and does good work. So I, like most people, was super excited for his direct follow-up, Thor: Love and Thunder. And I really like the movie, I think Thor: Love and Thunder is good. But all of the pieces were there where it could have been great.

Movie Rating: 7/10 – Good

I think my voice is just one in a multitude chorus of people having the same response to Love and Thunder. It’s not as good as Ragnarok. It’s still good and entertaining. But man, it’s nowhere near as amazing as we all hoped it would be. That’s a shame. But it’s not the end of the world. There are still a lot of great aspects about the movie to enjoy. And I would definitely recommend anybody to give it a watch. This is not the death knell of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, no matter what the haters say.

Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review on Thor: Love and Thunder! Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments!

Gorr the God Butcher Steals the Show in the New Thor 4 Trailer

Only a few short weeks after that awesome teaser, we’ve now got a full trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder. The movie looks great, and then Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher villain shows up and looks freaky as hell!

Like all other sane human beings, I can’t wait for Thor: Love and Thunder. Ragnarok was amazing and hilarious, and everybody is back to make another one of those. Taika Waititi is a hell of a director and I can’t wait to see what he brings to the table for this new one. For example, holy cow, Gorr the God Butcher looks sublime in this new trailer.

We’ve had some toy and promo artwork revealed for the character, and who knew what it would all translate into. Now that we’ve got him on screen, in full makeup, doing his Christian Bale thing, Gorr looks great. I am thrilled at how he looks.

I’m thrilled about the whole dang thing! Thor: Love and Thunder comes to theaters in, like, a month on July 8.

Thor: Love and Thunder Looks Amazing, As We Knew It Would

The first teaser trailer arrived yesterday for Thor: Love and Thunder, the next great, hilarious Thor movie by director Taika Waititi. I loved Thor: Ragnarok and I couldn’t be more excited for what Love and Thunder has to offer.

I think this looks great! I love the idea of Jane Foster coming back as the Mighty Thor. I love main Thor’s journey of self reflection, and all his new costumes. I’m excited to see Gorr the God Butcher. This whole, wild crazy thing is going to be great!

Thor: Love and Thunder comes out on July 8!
