Fascinating. I usually encounter Critical Drinker when he is telling me things I need to hear, but don’t want to. But DUNE Part 2? This movie, he liked.

The I SAW THE TV GLOW trailer.
Oh, look. Moe’s thinking about going to see another strange A24 movie. Sorry, but they come up with stuff I maybe want to watch. I SAW THE TV GLOW in particular taps into this weird childhood/adolescence thing that maybe I had going on in the back of my head for a while. So… yeah. Maybe.
The new GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE trailer.
A buddy of mine asked me to explain this movie.
There is no explanation. There is no need for an explanation. There is only Godzilla. And Kong.
The ARRIVAL Honest Trailer.
The BOY KILLS WORLD trailer.
I was going to pass on by BOY KILLS WORLD, until I saw that Sam Raimi [produced] it and that guy from ARCHER is doing the internal narrative. That requires a look-see. This has… potential.
The BORDERLANDS trailer.
I think it says something slightly uncomfortable about me that now I don’t just want to watch BORDERLANDS: I kind of want to try out the videogame. I even have it, although admittedly on Epic, which is a pain in the butt to download again, these days. Hrm.

The film at least gets points for picking for their protagonists a trendily good-works couple who are more than a little smug about it. Presumably they won’t quite break under the stress testing, but who knows? These days, if you really want to be transgressive in your art then there’s nothing better than unironic bourgeois morality.
The ‘Do Not Click Through If You Have Arachnophobia’ STING trailer.
Seriously, don’t. I don’t have arachnophobia, and it was a little alarming to watch the STING trailer. But kind of fun! Like a gorier EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS.

And by ‘wrong’ I mean the new season of RINGS OF POWER probably won’t be particularly more salacious: “What I know and what I can say for a fact is that it’s going to be darker, and it’s going to be edgier and more character-driven.” I mean, if you’re going to go off the rails and do a GM homebrew version of the Second Age, you might as well tart it up more.
