I don't know much from comic books, but I thought Eddie Brock was supposed to be kind of an rear end in a top hat, not the intrepid, righteous investigative journalist the trailer paints him as. Hence his whole "violent antihero/villain" shtick. I might be wrong, natch.

For some reason (the gasmask?) I kind of get the feeling that they'll go with some sort of chemical or experiments or something instead of literal Satan-worship in the movie. Hope I'm wrong. Also wouldn't be surprised if they change the ending in some way, not that it'll be a "happy" one.

Now I'm trying to remember whether that flub made it into the actual movie. Still, that entire fight scene was loving top-tier.

I can't tell from that trailer whether it's going to be just medical torture porn or if it's gonna try for a "Nurse Ratched was misunderstood" angle, maybe even with a touch of misplaced female empowerment?

Anyways, I've a prediction: at some point, maybe not in the first season, but at some point there's going to be at least the insinuation that The Combine is a concrete entity. Because that's what these types of adaptations always do, they'll comb through the short, standalone material for every little detail they can then expand on and over-explain it into mundanity.

Literally a Matrix 360 kick parody in TYOOL 2021 what the gently caress is this movie

Wait. Why is the animation in this clip 2D (well, "2D") and 3D CGI in the other one? :psyduck:

The only good parts about the MCU Spidermans were their villains, but the nostalgiabating in that trailer does nothing for me.

Also, not for nothing, but Tom Holland's finally aging out of being able to play a highschool kid.

I hate the idea being peddled that Ghostbusters was a heartwarming tale about fambly because the 80s and Stranger Things, when in reality it was a deeply sardonic, witty comedy.

It can't be any worse than Wheel of Time which reminded me of Xena in it's first episode. Unsure if it got any better after that.
I only saw the last episode of that show and was astounded at how bad it looked.

Looks bad, of course. I think it's mostly Timothy Charlemagne trying to break out of his moody boy typecasting more than anything else.

So Chris Pratt just can't do voices. That's fine, everyone has their limits. But why do they keep casting him in voice acting roles?

I assume mostly because of his VA in the Lego movie? Which he was good in, so either he's decided to really phone it in or he was told to. :shrug:

Perhaps, but that's not the only factor involved. Filming wrapped in January 2020. I'm sure you remember the big thing going on around that time.
True, the world was still reeling from Kobe, it would have been in bad taste to push out another sports movie soon after.

Trailer for M Night Shyamalan's new film, Trap, starring Josh Hartnett. The trailer didn't seem that interesting until the big reveal half way through, I wish I'd not watched it as I would have gone and seen it anyway based on the strength of Knock at the Cabin.

So the twist is gonna be that the real killer is the guy he has chained up in the basement, right?

It isn't The Fly, it's just like The Fly. Wolf Man is way more about the transition and going from protector of his family to threat of his family and takes place in a cabin.

But it's creepy as hell so far (it just started filming)


We showed a short teaser thingy at CinemaCon

Are Abbott and Costello in it?
