I am unreasonably annoyed that they used a line from Bride of Frankenstein as their trailer tagline.

Thank you!

Are you willing to spoil the twist? I was planning on seeing it for the reasons you mention, but if it's not worth it, I'd at least like to know what arbitrary bullshit they pull at the end.

My two-year-old daughter would say that they are "skull mans."

My husband only knows it because of the Flo Rida song that samples it. :(

And I think it speaks especially well of her that she's even more thoroughly outclassed this time around but hasn't resorted to the same mean-girl bullshit she pulled in her season. She sometimes seems frustrated by her underperformance, but she's handling it gracefully. Good on her.

Yeah, it's hard to give much weight to her "but my aesthetic!" protests when the look she got read for was a poorly-fitted spangly dress.

I figured he mean that, y'know, tater tots are a hot commodity in the TWD-verse, so it would be unfortunate if someone who had some got killed.

At the very least, I'll bet he picked the most douchebaggy letter criticizing his response so he could vent about it rather than having to engage more thoughtfully with how his attitude toward monogamy is kind of shitty.

My impression had always been that "top critics" are people from relatively prestigious newspapers/websites, but Ghostbusters has a "top critic" review from someone from something called TheShiznit.co.uk, so who the fuck knows?

Counterpoint: Trailers are marketing bullshit that are almost never put together by the filmmakers themselves and therefore have only the most tenuous relation to the actual quality of the film.

The first thing my coworker said to me when I got in was, "The new Ghostbusters is getting terrible reviews!" I have no idea how high its RT percentage would have to be for him to not think it was being poorly reviewed, but my guess is somewhere around 105%.

Plus, someone (I strongly doubt it was Abrams himself, but who knows) decided that the '60s minidresses didn't show quite enough skin for the reboot and chopped off the original's long sleeves.

O hai thar, Alec Peters.

Axanar tried to float some fan-film guidelines recently—guidelines, that would, coincidentally, prevent them from actually having to make a movie with all that money they collected. They also tried to pass their guidelines off as having been created in concert with other major fanfilms, but, uh… http://axamonitor.com/d…

Can it be two things?

At least now we have someone to blame for global warming!

Since when is Buffy the Vampire Slayer abbreviated Slayer, anyhow? If there wasn't a link, I would have thought Nowalk meant some other show.

That's what I found, too. I could've sworn that Dark Knight Rises used a picture of Bane breaking Batman's back as part of their ad campaign, since that's a pretty iconic Batman image and a big deal in the movie. But nope! Broken mask.

I was trying to write a post about how this sort of thing is de rigeur for superhero movies, regardless of the hero's gender, but…it's not, as far as I can tell. Still advertising (i.e. posters and billboards rather than trailers) where the hero is getting their ass kicked is pretty rare. I couldn't find a comparable…
