This Watchmen is a bit strange, no?
Guess it’s a sequel, of sorts; there’s a kind of The Dark Knight Returns* vibe going on, too. Maybe. I think? It does look more interesting than I expected, though. It might not suck.

*Obviously, the Frank Miller one.
The only problem with this fan-driven strategy is that we’d have to suffer through three movies first.
Note, though. The Last Airbender cartoon. It doesn’t have to be a slavish imitation, but it does have to love the source material.

PS: $28? Quick: buy it before somebody at Amazon comes to their senses!
It’s not bad, but this Honest Trailer of The Mummy (the good one) has one flaw:
…it lacks any appreciation of this scene, which is one of the great scenes.
Continue reading The Mummy (the good one) Honest TrailerI dunno why. Maybe somebody lost a bet? Anyway: “The screenwriter behind several of Warner Bros. DC movies, David S. Goyer, is set to write and produce a feature film reboot of Clive Barker’s classic 1987 horror film Hellraiser for Spyglass Media Group.” I’m always confused when I see articles like these. Sure, the state of the FX art is better now than it was thirty years ago. But if you don’t have anything new to say, then… so what?

I think that Rim of the World is perhaps just a little too pleased with itself.
But if you want to watch a team of plucky kids — who, frankly, look like they were designed in a cutting-edge lab and then focus-tested by an absolutely top-of-the-line social engineering firm — deal with an alien invasion while cracking jokes in a family-friendly format, this may be your jam. …And yes, OK, when I put it that way it doesn’t actually sound wretched. The trailer made me laugh in a couple of places. Which is its job, really.
Rim of the World comes out May 24th on Netflix.
Do not watch this if you have not yet seen Avengers: Endgame! They had Tom Holland on first to reinforce this! They mean it! You have been warned!

GeekTyrant (‘ware spoilers) is wondering about this. Which is reasonable: so did I. And then I realized, with a blinding flash of insight, how the MCU will address the consequences of post-Endgame society:
They’re not.

It is well worth the eight minutes or so of your time. I’m absurdly quite proud of these robots, actually: they come across as pretty cool people.
Say what you like about the future, but the low-budget, independent SF films these days are AWESOME.
