Baby Jesus will be born in three days’ time. I know He wants me to be good. So I will only say: no, I did not photoshop that picture.

My mini-review of LORD OF THE RINGS: RIDE OF THE ROHIRRIM.
Short version: dear God but some people just like to complain and kvetch about the least little damned things.

Look, James Gunn. You have earned some forbearance from me, because of the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY trilogy. I respect that. I was also raised DC.
So DO NOT [expletive deleted] THIS ONE UP.

In the mail: @HPLHS’s THE TEMPLE.
At last.
Gonna finish THE TEMPLE tonight, I think. Got interrupted while listening to the original download about halfway through, didn’t get back to it after. Should be fun!
The VENOM: THE LAST DANCE Honest Trailer.
Ehh. I liked VENOM: THE LAST DANCE. The trick was not to take it seriously for a minute. Usually Honest Trailers gets that… again, ehh.

The ‘Well.’ THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP trailer.
Am I old? I’m old, aren’t I? This reaction I had to THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP was also the old-person reaction to old Looney Tunes shows, wasn’t it?
No, seriously. Wasn’t it?

As in, it may not be out until 2027? SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE was supposed to be out earlier this year, but according to Jharrel Jerome (the guy playing Miles Morales) he hasn’t even recorded any lines. Not being an expert on animation productions or anything, I don’t know when that sort of thing shows up in the schedule, but obviously you need to do it before you start refining your raw movie into a finished project.
This doesn’t sound like great news, in order words.
The “Oh, hey. He’s a PC and it’s not Survival Mode” NOVOCAINE trailer.
That pretty much sums up NOVOCAINE. Although he has to have some kind of healing factor… no, wait, he’s a player character. As long as he doesn’t actually die, all Novocaine has to do is eat a ham or something and he’ll perk right back up.
I’m actually thinking about seeing it. I mean, it’s gonna be real bloody, obviously, but I can’t feel the hero’s pain, either. The conceit amuses.
Fascinating exercise in a whole different world: Christmas Under Wraps.
My troubles with getting TIMMY AND THE BAD PLACE out the door stems from a single source: I don’t know enough about Hallmark Christmas movies. I mean, I could fake it, and to a certain extent I have gotten about a thousand words out by getting some of the plot elements down, but I need to actually watch this stuff. Because the goal isn’t actually to make fun of Hallmark Christmas movies, believe it or not.
Continue reading Fascinating exercise in a whole different world: Christmas Under Wraps.The “…Huh.” 28 YEARS LATER trailer.
28 DAYS LATER was excellent. 28 WEEKS LATER was… an ambitious failure. I am very much a minority opinion in that assessment, I know, but I felt the movie did not sufficiently sell to me the contrived set of screw-ups that allowed the virus to propagate again. So I wasn’t enthralled at the thought of 28 YEARS LATER.
And yet: this doesn’t look half bad.
I also give a movie points for having the guts to use Rudyard Kipling in a trailer. And not in an obnoxiously snarky fashion, either. Nice.
