That dialogue is pretty cringey, goddamn. And it's been a while since I saw the other trailers, but I feel like this one's leaning heavier on James Cameron?

Why does all this CG poo poo look the same? Looks just like Ready Player One and just as bad.

Having Pikachu come off like a pg-13 Deadpool certainly didn't hurt either.

I thought I didn't like Deadpool because of the "flapjacking douchecanoe!" poo poo, but this trailer made me realize that I just don't like Ryan Reynolds. He's got a weird snarky smugness I guess? I don't remember how the joke started but Danny Devito (or anyone with a deep raspy voice) would've been a better choice. Main Character hearing that while everyone else hears "Pika pika!" would be great.

Ryan Reynold's snarky smugness isn't the problem here, the PIkachu movie is. He should replace his agent immediately.

I never said the dumb masses out there don't like bad movies; just look at Michael Bay's career success, for instance.

Yeah considering the huge about face Reynolds' career has had I'd say his agent is doing their job.

if there is a time that Ryan Reynolds should have fired his agent it would have been immediately after the first Green Lantern trailer came out

edit: or maybe RIPD. Remember that? I didn't until I saw the name on his filmography.

Ryan Reynolds is going to tap his popularity for every last dollar he can before fame and exhaustion suck out his sense of humor and leave behind a despondent pessimistic husk in its wake like it did Jim Carey and every other hugely successful comedic actor.

I've been reading Gunnm for over 12 years, and that is straight up how she looks in contrast to everybody else in the series, including other cyborgs.

Everyone has already decided to not see the movie anyway. The uncanny valley is the desired reaction: she SHOULDN'T look like a regular person, or even any cyborg from the Scrapyard itself! But nobody knows, or cares about this source material except for me.

I got one concern, and one concern only: how can you really do it PG-13? I need exploding dogs.

It could be like Transformers where the level of violence is insane but because gears and screws and poo poo are exploding everywhere instead of guts and viscera, it's PG-13.

This movie is going to break every box office record in the universe and won't hurt Ryan Reynold's career one bit and I'll probably still enjoy it, I just don't think he's very good or funny. I mean, the trailer has a dumb Will Smith joke/meme in it, and even Will Smith delivers the line better.

When I saw the earlier Alita trailer I thought the eyes were an interesting choice and I was kinda okay with them, but whatever tweaks they made to the CGI between trailers now feel like they give her face that same quality that the Superman's CGI-removed mustache had. I dunno. Looks way weirder now.

What an odd combination, but it looks really fun. I guess being done in association with the WWE probably handcuffed some really good jokes but still looks fun.

Cute, adorable, and creepy at the same time!



Little fun fact, in case you all didn't know. The woman playing the maid/nanny is an elementary school teacher from Oaxaca. It seems, from what I read around, this is her first big acting job.

Context of why I find this awesome: There's a lot of indigenous/ people with indigenous roots that are trained in theatrical acting, yet don't get the same chances in the media business as anyone else. So some end up performing in tiny community theaters, the occasional cultural documentary, etc. So yay! Hope she does well in the future.

The idea of Tim Burton doing anything in the present bothers me so much i'ma drop the trailer for the new Leprechaun movie here as a palate cleanser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feLo5dq_hMY


Also: I was absolutely on the "Who loving wants a Warwick Davis-less Leprechaun movie?" train but it looks like they put a surprising amount of effort (which is a dangerously low bar anyway) into this one.
