The new ‘Kingdom’ Korean historical zombie Netflix series trailer.
Looks good.
Also: it’s a series, not a movie. I had not realized that, the last time. A series sounds more interesting in this context anyway.
RIP, Penny Marshall.
I grew up watching Penny Marshall in Laverne & Shirley, of course. Loved the show, although my parents got scandalized when the two… smoked pot in one episode, I think? But she also made good movies. I liked Big a lot and A League of Their Own was a damned good baseball movie:
Well, the half of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse I saw was good.
Excellent, even. But I had a family emergency to deal with*. Weird; normally I turn off my phone when the movie starts. Not this time, fortunately.
I’ll try to catch the rest of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse some time this week. If not, I’ll just catch it when we come back from holiday travel. It really is very good, by the way. It totally could not work as a live-action movie, but as an animated film it’s almost perfect. And if there were any wrong notes, they took place after I had to leave the theater.

*Problem, not crisis, but I shan’t discuss it further.

The layering in this one is impressive.

My mini-review of Aquaman.
Since I was asked. Short version: fun. Continue reading My mini-review of Aquaman.
So, Pitbull (featuring Rhea*) sorta covered Toto’s Africa for Aquaman.
You know, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse might not suck.
The animation style has bugged me throughout, but either I’m getting used to it or else it’s smoother in the more recent clips. I am also becoming more and more reassured by the presence of Spider-Ham. Spider-Ham makes it more likely that the whole thing is, well, a comic book movie. I could be down for that.

PS: The Rotten Tomatoes review score is interesting, but ultimately meaningless without fan reaction to judge them against. And, to be honest: I’ve been seeing more and more reviews that want to review the movie that ‘needs’ to exist (for one cause or another), and not the movie that’s right there in front of the reviewer. Not that fan reactions are perfect, either. But if the reviewers and the fans both like something that’s usually diagnostic.

Honestly, isn’t this the best answer?
Okay, okay, I’ll host the damn Oscars! They’d finish on time, at least. pic.twitter.com/kYMygAUe1R

The Japanese Spider-Man Honest TV Trailer.
Every time I start to worry if I rely on Honest Trailers a little too much for content, they do something like this.
