Meg looks good and fun. Are the beach scenes in Asia? Or the whole movie I guess. Also the shark was ridiculously big in the last shot.

That last shot is totally different to any of the others in the trailer so my guess is it's entirely constructed to be a button.

When I was working on Graham Norton we had Casey as a guest and his list of demands for appearing was that we didn't ask any questions about the "other Affleck" and that we cut the cores out of the apples in his room for him. So... pretty routine really.

It's not uncommon for them to request special food or dietary needs.

It's also based on a real person, this guy: https://instagram.com/jannthaman?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

The documentary is likely inspired partly by the CM Koseman book All Yesterdays which imagines dinosaurs with speculative features and behaviours that are realistically plausible but without any evidence. For example, there's a picture of a Protoceratops herd climbing a tree to eat leaves. There's no evidence they ever did this, but they're the same size as goats which do that all the time and their feet were good enough for it, so why not? It's really about portraying them as real animals. We are probably never gonna find fossils of a theropod mid-mating dance but their bird relatives do it. We never found a fossil of a T.rex swimming but their anatomy supports it.

Darren Naish who wrote for that book is the head consultant on the show, so you're spot on.

I'm all in on anything Miller wants to do in this universe, but calling this and odyssey at the start of the trailer and then showing us all the same poo poo we saw in Fury Road was disappointing. Looks like there's very few new ideas in this.

Two and a half hours, but apparently they're adding a shitload of Wizard of Oz stuff and a bunch of backstory.

I think this is fine, especially the Wizard of Oz stuff. The stage show has the entire Wizard of Oz story happen off screen, with Dorothy only ever seen in silhouette. The film would have to expand it to not feel like a disjointed mess.

Also, the second half of the musical only suffers because it never achieves the heights of Defying Gravity again, there's some great songs in the second half.

However, where the film has hosed up is in not using the time gap between the first and second part to cast Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in the adult roles.

First time I'm seeing anything from the Monster verse other than Godzilla 2014 and this clip makes me wonder why they're jobbing Godzilla so much

He's exhausted at that point from fighting, and beating Kong the night before.

He's pissed off in that film because he can sense MechGodzilla being constructed. MechGodzilla is controlled by the manipulated psychic energy of Ghidorah, and Godzilla can tell humanity is loving around with something it shouldn't.

As soon as they turn on MechGodzilla Ghidorah's mind takes over, kills the human pilot, and goes on a revenge rampage against Godzilla. So it's basically an angry, resurrected Satan figure controlling a Mecha fighting a tired, bruised Godzilla.

I've also seen people cite a video where he and Tessa Thompson complain about the quality of CGI on Love And Thunder as being offputting, but also, like, you know, that CG is pretty bad and largely down to decisions above either of their pay grades.

Yeah, the CGI is loving dire, but he chose to mock it at a time that the plight of CGI houses and workers was being reported on a load, and Marvel was at the front of the conversation. It was incredibly tone deaf and it didn't come across as him mocking the process or the decisions, but instead the workers.

Also, he's been openly accused of sleeping with his actors whilst married and their was the candid pictures of him having a threesome with Tessa Thompson and Rita Ora which I think hurt the perception that he was a good guy/ally because at the time it wasn't clear if/why his marriage had ended.
