"greatest trailer ever made" i say in the middle of my seizure

the godzilla king of the monsters trailer was insane (compared to the film which was pretty bad). i'm not saying it's the goat, but it's one of the best ones made that i can remember in a long, long time.

if we're talking about the greatest trailers compared to actual movie letdowns, then yea this might be the king or at least one of them...

The Clash of the Titans remake had a pretty baller trailer for a very mid movie.

His politics are just all over the place. Mayor of Kingstown has some legit criticisms against the prison industrial complex and the police being militarized but is also easily one of the most misogynistic shows on TV right now. And I did enjoy parts of Wind River but he got a lot of poo poo for bragging about how he has done all this work to bring awareness to indigenous issues when in reality the movie suffers from white savior bullshit.

Wait, so where does the white supremacist poo poo the other guy was talking about come from?

The sooner you come to terms with the fact that right-wing nutcases make some of the best action movies, and that you liking or not liking them isn't going to make any difference in the real world, the happier you'll be

As for trailers that their movies don't live up to, my favorite is

Yeah great use of "The Bird and the Worm", it was probably impossible for the movie to live up to that trailer.

Red Dawn isn’t all that great either. Conan is still kinda neat but not for the action.

The Matrix, Terminator 2, Starship Troopers and Aliens are all by directors who aren’t right leaning at all and quite vocal about it. Clearly the left makes the best action movies!

This is like the sixth Walking Dead series. Walking Dead, Walking Dead World Beyond, Fear the Walking Dead, Tales of the Walking Dead, Walking Dead: Dead City, Walking Dead: the Ones Who Live

It's nuts

And is a single one of them worthwhile?

I enjoyed some of the Darabont season but bailed early. I know that it has its fans as a soapy kinda thing, but The Last of us being so good means I don't have to settle for anything that's not a strong recommend.

Dead City seemed okay but it got pretty boring pretty quick. It's Lauren Cohen and Jeffrey Dean Morgan going to save her son from some guy that kidnapped him to New York. There seems to be a lot of prologue to it from the original show I havent seen. Last thing I saw was a season where Jeffrey Dean Morgan beat Lauren Cohen's husbands brains out infront of her but I guess they're tentatively cool now somehow. Both good actors!

World Beyond is about the future where everything's kinda fine in these walled cities but some kids go outside for some reason, awful, Fear the Walking Dead was about the outbreak, also awful. Haven't seen the others
