The two most anxiety inducing sounds are the Sonic drowning music and the Unsolved Mysteries theme.

I was a huge kaiju fan as a kid and in fairness to Godzilla 2014 no movie could've lived up to the Oppenheimer teaser. Possibly the greatest trailer ever made.

It did not. But again no movie could so I can't fault it for that.

The Burly Brawl is especially weird is you coulda made it look just as cool using only face replacement there was no reason to go full CGI.

Also the terrible shot from above the trailer puts a damper on the highway chase.

Why associate it with an awesome movie and character at all? Just make it a stand-alone series from the lovely AHS guy about a nurse.

It's so stupid. Nobody is gonna tune in because they wanted to know the character's backstory that wouldn't have tuned in if it was an original character.

I find it kind of endearing that Snyder either doesn't know or doesn't care that people make fun of that Watchmen scene. He just really likes that song.

It's a really good song. It doesn't fit at all.

Finding out they survived the initial disintegration and didn't die until they hit the ocean was upsetting.

Oh god I had no idea

Yeah the crew cabin was reinforced and came out of the disintegration intact - it can be seen in pictures of the disaster:



There wasn't evidence the cabin depressurized during the disintegration and subsequent fall and at least some of the astronauts took actions after the cabin detached.

I learned about them possibly surviving all the way to impact with the ground (almost 3 full minutes) a few years ago, and it's kind of stuck with me since. I don't know that I could watch that doc.

This was the article that I first learned about the true story (which wasn't revealed to the public for obvious reasons):

This goes all in on Trump, but Democratic big-shots like Pelosi and Schumer also knew and did nothing. This was a bi-partisan gently caress-up, like everything terrible in America.

Schumer doesn't control the Senate and track/trace and such is controlled by the executive (they're both terrible useless people, mind you). The bigger example of bipartisan fuckup is Cuomo in New York. But the buck ultimately stops with the president - if he hadn't hosed up at the beginning and had a national plan you wouldn't have had governors loving up down the road.

It was pretty clear that they ran out of money in Skyline 1 because the big action scene that they spent the entire movie building to happens through a series of still images.

I felt pretty let down by King of Monsters. One of the most compelling aspects of Godzilla (in some of the movies) is that he is presented as a force of nature. The idea is captured really well in this teaser trailer: https://vimeo.com/146985673 (which, to be fair, the 2014 Godzilla didn't quite live up to either.) So, to have King of Monsters center around a device which controls the monsters really undermines that aspect. They use it in the very first scene of Ghidorah, too. It turns the whole movie into a family squabble rather than the sort of disaster movie that it should be.

I'm guessing they had that pulled from the internet because it contains a monster that doesn't appear in the actual movie but I think it's the best trailer of all time.

I'm not much of a fan of the 2014 movie but I don't think any movie would've lived up to that trailer.

Killing off Cranston and sticking you with cardboard man severely hurt the movie for me. Actually surprised how likable his character was in TENET since normally I can't stand him.

This is a lady who grew up in a castle who decided it was a good idea to dress as a Bond villain when she toured the Mint with her Treasury Secretary husband.

Also they used a government plane to travel to view the eclipse. Their combined net worth is close to half a billion dollars.

i can't wait for every character to come on screen and announce themselves by their character name in the first person. that definitely was only written in for trailer purposes, right?

I don't get why you'd have possibly the most famous character from the franchise - especially after he's already used lots of ice stuff - go "I am Sub Zero" just for a trailer.

Already sounded like it had more lore than I remember that game having just from the trailer. But I did recognize all the characters from 2 though that looked more like Goro than Kintaro.

I understand folks that aren't into the action-comedy tone a lot of comic movies have adopted, but I'm not sure I understand anyone who expected different from a James Gunn movie featuring Harley Quinn.

I think people are wary because the Josh Whedon style of "comedy" the Marvels have adopted is poo poo. Probably why Guardians and Thor 3 stand out because they were helmed by funny guys. I'll definitely be giving this a shot since it looks like they let Gunn make a DC Guardians flick.
