This is, to put it simply, adorable. Imaginapped is a movie about what happens when a kid’s imaginary friend is kidnapped, and part of its charm is that it faithfully follows kid logic. That’s harder to do than it looks.

The ‘Annihilation’ trailer.
I’ll be honest: having looked at the book reviews for the trilogy (Southern Reach) that this is based off of, I suspect that Annihilation is one of those movies where I’ll be happier for not having read the books. I can’t comment on the books themselves, because I haven’t read them; but the movie seems to be promising, in a creepy sort of way. I am more tolerant of creep-for-creep’s-sake in movies than I am in books.
Anybody see ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ yet?
Did it suck? I am given to understand that Star Trek: Discovery is not even remotely canonical on a few key details. And the reviews that I’ve seen so far have been distressingly short in the “it had me at the edge of my seat” category. But the world is full of poor reviews of stuff that I ended up liking. I mean, if it kicks butt then that’s the important thing, right?
The ‘Early Man’ trailer.
Early Man is very… British.
It’s also very Wallace and Gromit, or at least very Nick Park. From what I can tell, it’s about a bunch of Stone Age people having to deal with a bunch of snooty, egotistical, and decadent neighbors who have Bronze Age technology and French accents. And soccer. And toilet paper humor. And… look, this just looks kind of ridiculous, in the good way.
Early Man comes out February 18th.
Big Hero 6 TV show uses most of the original voice actors.
The clip looks fairly Disney (for good and for ill)…
…but this is nice: Continue reading Big Hero 6 TV show uses most of the original voice actors.
Tweet of the Day, …Inconceivable*! edition.
I once woke my sister up from her nap just because the Inigo/Six-Fingered Man fight scene was coming up. She forgave me for it, of course. It was necessary.
Wow Princess Bride came out THIRTY YEARS AGO today. I think I speak for everyone when I say "I'll have that drink, now." #PrincessBride30th pic.twitter.com/oZqAVtjUOo

The ‘Tomb Raider’ trailer.
The ‘Wonder Woman’ Honest Trailer.
Honest Trailers gave Wonder Woman a fair assessment, I think.
Netflix nicely cease-and-desists a Stranger Things pop-up bar.
My first reaction: “What’s a pop-up bar?” I don’t know this because I’m old (for the purposes of this discussion), have never been particularly hip, and genially loathe the nearest major metropolitan area to me*. Anyway, Netflix found out that there was a Stranger Things-themed pop-up bar, and they managed to find a way to warn the owners that “the Netflix lawyers will rip them into a parallel dimension and suck the life from their bodies” (if the pop-up continues, unsanctioned) without actually sounding like jackwagons: Continue reading Netflix nicely cease-and-desists a Stranger Things pop-up bar.
The Jack Ryan series trailer for Amazon.
It’s an interesting technique that they’re using here; you can see what the theme of what Jack Ryan will be without Amazon saying a word. I’m also fascinated at the thought of a Tom Clancy movie that doesn’t jump through hoops to avoid admitting… ah, yes, never mind. Let’s just say that this appears to be accurate in a way that the The Sum of All Fears movie could not be.
