If you have: The Incredibles 2 doesn’t suck, right? It’s got a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and my wife and I have penciled it in for date night next week if it doesn’t suck and I really, really need for this movie not to suck, OK? The Incredibles was like rain in the desert, back in the days before Marvel started releasing good superhero flicks on a regular basis. I would rather like the sequel not to suck.
…So?
It is, however, a link to some pictures from the Aquaman movie, which looks like it’s going to be drawing from the established Aquaman continuity. …Don’t give me that look. Batman: The Brave and the Bold made Aquaman cool. It’s perfectly all right now to know that he has a half-brother named Orm that has a Loki-like relationship with Aquaman, which is absolutely why he’s in this movie because audiences ate up the Thor-Loki sibling dynamic with a spoon*.

To more or less quote Polygon: Tim Burton? Wait, what?
Continue reading The ‘Tim Burton’s Dumbo’ trailer. …No, really.
I think that, in a couple of years, they’re going to do a sequel for Solo after all, box office disaster or not. Why? Because it’s not a bad movie. Yeah, the robot was sometimes annoying — but, heck, droids are slaves in the Star Wars universe and I’ve been known to fulminate about that a little when I’ve had enough drinks in me. But the rest of it? …I genuinely liked it. It was a good heist film. Woody Harrelson in particular has nothing to be ashamed of.
And I suspect that in a couple of years there’s going to be enough of a slow burn of renewed interest that Disney will green-light a sequel. Particularly because of that one cameo. That one cameo offers the Extended Universe fans a chance to get some of their favorite stuff up on the big screen after all. And if there’s anything that the Mouse is good at, it’s getting its money back on an investment. They’ll want to get it back on this one, too.
But that’s just my admittedly not juiced-in opinion, so I guess we’ll see.

This is one of their interesting ones.
This had better not suck.
It’s supposed to not be bad! Not the greatest movie of the year, but solid B work. I have a weakness for solid B work, and I should probably watch a film this year that doesn’t explosions or starships.
Mind you, if I have to choose between Ocean’s 8 and Incredibles 2, well; that’s not actually anything resembling a contest.
OK, sure, fine, Val Kilmer’s going to be in Top Gun 2. He probably loves the idea of the paycheck. But what, exactly, is Top Gun 2 going to be about? Continue reading So, Val Kilmer’s coming back to be Iceman… hold on a second.
I WANT TO BELIEVE, DAMMIT.
Seriously.
This is as close as we’re ever going to get to LEGO Fallout — dang, but I would play that game — so drink up, my droogies. …Hold on! THEY’RE GOING TO DO TOYS BASED ON LEGO Movie 2! That means that there CAN be LEGO Fallout! At least, in my heart.
This ain’t coming out until 2019, so no need to go looking for tickets yet.
