‘The Defenders’ Trailer: Looks like Punisher will join the squad, and Stan Lee narrates
Fucking of course The Powers That Be are going to shoehorn the Punisher into The Defenders. What the fuck was I thinking, sort of actually believing he’d be absent from the upcoming team-up.

‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ Red Band Trailer: Stylishly Dressed Ultraviolence
I’m down for Kingsman: The Golden Circle. I was lukewarm on the original – liked it, didn’t love it – but the further away I get from it, the more I appreciate it as a fun, absurdly violent romp. I imagine the sequel shall follow suit.

Monday Morning Commute: It’s been a weird summer (so far)
Man, it’s been a weird summer so far. Today marked the sixth, and final week of the summer class that I teach for incoming freshmen students. There’s just been something off since the get-go, and as its conclusion nears, a sense of confusion that it’s really ending, and a sense of relief that it’s really ending are both making themselves known.

Then you go. Get excited. Don’t worry. Wet naps and warm towels will be dispensed per your request.
