Paul Greengrass adapting ‘1984’ for the movies
Why do we want to watch 1984? Ain’t it like we’re living this shit? None the less. Paul Greengrass will bring to us proles a movie about proles based on a book about proles and oppression and regression and societal dumbing-down and the surveillance state. Us proles will watch it, most won’t get, and those who do won’t use it to motivate them. Whatever.

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Trailer: We Are All Robot Apocalypse Puppets
I’m really excited for Avengers: Age of Ultron. This is despite the fact that Ultron is one giant Robotic Trope that has already been beaten into Vibranium and smeared across our pop culture face over and over again. But fuck! If it a trope that ain’t broke, don’t fix it? And this is one trope I love.
Bleh: David S. Goyer developing ‘Krypton’ TV series
Even before David S. Goyer shot his mouth off in an impressive combination of comic book and cultural ignorance, he didn’t do much for me. So the dude developing a Krypton TV show does very little for me. Other than provide a poor excuse for me to point out that the dude is a blight.
BORING: Benedict Cumberbatch is Marvel’s Doctor Strange
I wish I could tell you how many unfucks I give about this doubleplusungood casting. He’ll probably be adequate, but I’m sick of his face. And out of all the purported contenders he’s the least interesting choice. THE MYSTIC GAME IS AFOOT, TWATSON #yawn.
Cosplay: This Aquawoman will spear your heart.
SPEAR IT! Or is it actually trident it to fucking pieces?! One of those two. Eh, whatevah kid. Just enjoy the cosplay.
‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay’ Trailer: Katniss rages against the machine
Catnip Evergreen and Gail Force Wind are all up in this trailer for The Hungry Games: Mockingbird. Shooting down planes and shit. I’m down. I’m diggin’ it. Vibin’. Bein’ a choad.
‘Interstellar’ IMAX TV Spot: 2014 goes 2001
Summer is over. My system has ingested about as much Guardians of the Galaxy as it can handle (and then some, five viewings!). This means that it is time for me to begin gazing into the Fall and Winter release schedule. A schedule that holds a movie particularly kind to my crotch: Interstellar. Here’s a new TV IMAX spot.
Edgar Wright’s next film is probably ‘Baby Driver’
Okay, okay, okay. Let’s all move on from whining about Edgar Wright’s departure. Let’s all say the Serenity Prayer, burn our pre-made Ant-Man t-shirts, and look towards the future. ‘Cause that is what Edgar Wright is seemingly doing. And it’s what he’d want from us. (On top of burning our Ant-Man t-shirts.)
Cosplay: Gaige from ‘BORDERLANDS 2’ seems mechanically sound
Cause she’s a fucking mechromancer! Oh, you don’t like that? WHATEVER. It’s E3, I’m blogging up a fucking storm, and the only way I’ve been able to sustain this mania is through like eight Diet Mountain Dews. Enjoy this cosplay while I go into the bathroom and seize.
‘MORTAL KOMBAT’ X Trailer: A Forest-Based Donnybrook
So like here’s the trailer for Mortal Kombat X. I don’t really give a fuck about the franchise, but it’s more a deep-seated apathy than a dislike. But I figured there may people around these parts who will get some jollies from this trailer. Of pre-rendered stupidity layered in nonsense and hip-hop. Showing no real gameplay and having me scratch my head at why this would be approved. But again. I don’t know. Maybe you dig it.
