I think I officially have a love/hate relationship with San Diego ComiCon. On the one hand, I hate it because there is practically no way I anticipate being able to go anytime in this next decade or three. On the other hand, THERE IS SO MUCH AWESOME STUFF THAT GETS DEBUTED THERE!!
For instance, THERE’S A NEW DOCTOR STRANGE TRAILER, AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC.
I mean, seriously. Benedict Cumberbatch. It’s not good enough that he’s got an amazing name, plays an incredibly popular “high functioning sociopath” who can basically read through reality, plays a dragon, and is generally fantastic in general… he now gets to play a wizard who bends reality.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, I’m going to take this moment to say, my goodness there are a lot of trailers that came out recently.
Yes, today’s post is another trailer.
Because there’s a new Tarzan trailer.
And although there is a LOT wrong with the book for today’s culture. So it definitely should not stay true to the book if it wants to succeed. (To be fair, I did find it amusing and enjoyed reading it. Especially since it’s available for free from project Gutenberg.)
So, yeah. I’m not quite sure what I think of the fact that there’s going to be a live-action version of Tarzan. It has the potential to be… interesting.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
I’m fairly sure I had a good idea for a post in the shower. I don’t remember it, though. So, here’s the “new” Superman vs. Batman trailer that I’m about a month late in posting.
Meh, whatever.
I’m sure I’m supposed to be all excited about “ooh, yay, they’re throwing WonderWoman in”. So “ooh yay. They’re throwing Wonder Woman in. Yippee.”
Similarly, I’m guessing I’m probably supposed to be thrilled about… the villain. (I’m not sure how to spell his name, and the Google is temporarily unavailable.) However, I just think he sounds more like the Joker than… the villain… he’s supposed to be playing. I mean, he does look like an interesting character. Possibly the only one in the movie. But, yeah… That would be because he seems reminiscent of The Joker.
It also looks like it’s going to be another one of those “dark for the sake of darkness” movies that D.C. has been doing recently. Like, with the Man of Steel show.
And (sorry fans) Superman is a boring character.
(Maybe that’s why I’m not as much a fan of Captain America, either…?)
And seriously. The way they threw in WonderWoman. (Wonder-Woman? Wonder Woman?) Token Female Lead. Except, she’s apparently not really a lead. Since after all, it’s Superman vs. Batman. No, umm, “Token Female’s Name” to be found.
I may see it if it gets really good reviews, but I don’t know.
And all that casual destruction. Per usual for D.C..
Ok, so, per usual for superhero movies in general. But at least Marvel’s been addressing it, to an extent, with shows like DareDevil and Jessica Jones.
DC has yet to do so, as far as I’m aware.
So, yeah.
Trailer shared, and I can mark that off my “to-do” list for this blog.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
As you may have seen, there’s a new Captain America trailer that came out a few days ago.
Here it is. It’s a cultural event, so you should probably watch it. Whatever.
I take it you are not that excited about it?
Meh, kinda.
It looks a lot more “DC” in style than what I’m used to with Marvel. Mostly.
Ish.
Maybe not at all.
Ok, so actually, it looks more “Captain America dark heavy let’s be political and philosophical angsty” than “Avengers Funny.”
And although I enjoyed that darkness and depth in Daredevil and Jessica Jones, when I go to a Marvel movie, I like the fluff and silliness found in movies like Guardians of the Galaxy!
So for me, the primary redeeming feature of this trailer is the appearance of Spiderman. Hopefully they keep him a bit snarky.
Because that’s fluff and fun.
Otherwise, I really may as well go see the new D.C. movie coming out instead.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So. Disney is re-releasing a lot of its old classics. The one I most recently found out about is Pete’s Dragon. It was one of my favorites growing up. And there’s now a new version coming out this year. The trailer was released yesterday.
It looks very different.
I mean, seriously.
That is a totally different feel. Just look at their dragon, for one. The new one? Although the wings still probably wouldn’t work from a physics perspective, it’s not as adorable looking as the original Elliot’s pink wings.
And I didn’t see any signs of the over-the-top “happiest home in the hills” family either.
In all honesty, it looks a bit more like Jungle Book than Pete’s Dragon.
But it might still be an ok movie. I’m withholding judgement until closer to the release date.
