‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Trailer: Joyous, Violent Fun With A Friend From Work
This deep into the comic movie slop extravaganza, no superhero movie trailer should make me as happy as this one just did.
Monday Morning Commute: reunited and the blood’s gone cold.
They tryta tell ya not to worry.
“Don’t worry about it, everything will be fine.”
They tryta tell ya that it’s not really fuckin’ weird.
“What you’re feeling, right now, it’s perfectly normal.”
They tryta tell ya that what — or, I guess, who – you’re seein’ is familiar.
“Look! There he is! He’s opened his eyes! See, he’s waving to you! Wave back!”
But I’ll be goddamned if I ain’t never seen nothin’ less familiar.
“Go ahead – go into the room and give him a hug!”
And I’ll be good goddamned if there ain’t nothin’ I’d ever wanted to destroy more.
“Here, let me bring you in! I can only imagine what waiting for The Reuniting has felt like.”
Unfortunately, turns out that paperworkin’ and payin’ and waitin’ all felt like shit, and that shit felt like gold compared to this shit.
Unfortunately, turns out that bein’ Reunited with your once-dead son don’t feel so good as they tryta tell ya.
Unfortunately, turns out that seein’ your once-dead son openin’ his eyes and wavin’ at ya don’t feel so good when ya could only afford to upload his mind into a bootleg clone.
They tryta tell ya not to worry.
Worry.

Come one, come all, step right up, folks: this is the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE!
First, I spit prose-nonsense at you (that’s the stuff at the top). Then, I try to apologize for it by sharing a list of pop culture detritus I’ll be chewing on all week (that’s the stuff you’ll see after the jump). Finally, you hit up the comments and tell us what you’ll be entertainment-consuming this week.
Right this way, hombres!
Weekend Open Bar: The Groove Salve on the Brain Boil
My desired Existential-Aesthetic is mid-to-late-1980s Jean-Claude Van Damme movies.
There is such a manic, loosely-tethered lunacy to his movies that more or less perfectly captures the reciprocal nature of It, itself. The meaning in his films are kind of missing, maybe there, sort of apparent, but always haunting you as you dare to ascertain It. Yet, despite the non-sensical, godless, utterly conflicting messages of his movies, that still manage to have fun and revel in doing so.
And yeah, I guess, that’s sort of how I want to approach life, to approach It. It’s a godless, non-sensical world, with no apparent plot or overriding structure. But, despite that, I’m going to cobble together my own absurdist meaning, and have fun doing so.
And I hope you’ll join me, this weekend, at the Open Bar, in celebrating our own non-sensical, absurd existences together. Come, come, come into the bar. Share what you’re up to. The movies you’re watching, the liquid you’re imbibing, the books you’re reading. Anything and Everything always, so long as it adheres to this place’s sole rule: goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.
Sega seems to be teasing at new ‘Bayonetta’ project
I loved Bayonetta. Never played the second. But man I’m there if they put out a new Bayonetta for the PS4/Xb1, or even a port of the second.
Animated ‘Ghost in the Shell’ reboot coming courtesy of original production team
Hate that we gotta specify whether or not we’re talking about shit-core live-action Ghost in the Shell, or the animated one. But, here we are.
Square Enix developing new title for Nintendo Switch, also contemplating ports
Square Enix is bringing a new title to the Nintendo Switch. But that ain’t all, as the company seems a bit hype for the glorified ZeldaTablet. How hype? They’re contemplating ports of existing titles.
Darren Aronofsky’s next movie ‘Mother!’ is a “Horror Thriller”
Oh shit, remember Darren Aronofsky? Yeah, yeah! The guy who did Noah and almost did The Wolverine! I remember him! (Seriously, please tell me you sense the #troll here). Well, TheWolverinoah guy has a new movie in the works! And it’s a fucking “horror thriller”, apparently.
New ‘Dune’ movie being written by ‘Forest Gump’ writer
The new Dune movie is going to be penned by the writer of Forest Gump. Truth be told, this means absolutely nothing to me. Is it good news? Is it bad news? I don’t know!
