trailers with Avengers: Endgame

  • Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw: different trailer, still like getting bludgeoned with testosterone.
  • 21 Bridges, has extra opening seconds. I would like to think that Chadwick Boseman is going to pick movies that are thoughtful about the police's exercise of power, and there are a few hints toward that maybe, but based on this it's a hell of an uphill battle to get me to believe it.
  • The Lion King: I just can't even.
  • Long Shot, but none of the trailers at IMDB seem to be what we got? Anyway: oh look, Seth Rogen screws things up for Charlize Theron, whee.
  • Godzilla: King of the Monsters: that's a lot of giant monsters, none of which looked really convincing, and also you don't get to use "One X to rule them all," sorry, you just don't.
  • Gemini Man, has about one extra opening second. Will Smith fights his younger clone; I have no feelings about this.
  • Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The thing is, okay. The Last Jedi had major problems, but I feel, in retrospect, that it was at least trying to do something that wasn't just "coast on nostalgia," that it had a point of view that it was trying to express? And this does not give me confidence that that's going to be carried through. Because giving a trilogy to different directors and letting them do, apparently, whatever the fuck they want is a bad creative decision.

I started at the Godzilla preview (which I saw before Captain Marvel, too) and thought, "I understand that there's a market for movies that are basically CHECK OUT OUR MONSTERS, THEY ARE FIGHTING! LOOK, MONSTER!" but why is there a market for this when they're this poorly rendered?"
