Well, to be fair, the trailer seemed to be building on the question of "how will Peter get out of this?"— or even "is that Peter?" I mean, for all we knew watching the trailer, it could have been Flash Thompson under there. And then, of course, there was also the question of "what is Harry going to do if he sees Peter…

I can only hope we'll be saying the same thing about hashtags soon enough…

The irony, of course, is that Ang Lee's Hulk wasn't going for a horror-movie tone at ALL, but rather for a complex psychodrama mixed with a sprinkle of pulpy comic book action and a metric sh*t-ton of cheesy comic-inspired editing.

I'm a huge, huge fan of teasers— specifically, teasers that tell their own, self-contained little vignettes that set a tone for the movie without actually showing any of it (or that build up a small piece of it to hint at the bigger story waiting beyond).

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!

I don't think you could call New Nightmare a reboot. It wasn't trying to revive or revamp the series as much as put a final, meta-textual button on the films as a whole. Frankly, the film's dependence on the existence of the original Nightmare on Elm Street films— the first one in particular— makes New Nightmare…

Those posters had me convinced that there was some heavy-duty mind-f*ckery going on in all of the Nightmare movies when I was a kid. They looked like some unholy visions had been dredged up from the depths of Hell and shone upon the screen for all the world to see; I was terrified to even go down the horror aisle of…

That makes pretty good sense… and it especially would have worked in the reboot, where it's suggested that Freddy is actually a manifestation of repressed memories (tweaked and exaggerated over time) as much as he is a straight-up ghost.

Weeeeeeeellll… that might have just been Jackie Earle Haley. He sounded exactly the same as Rorschach, after all.

Eh… I thought it was okay. I can see what they were trying to do— get away from the iconic hook-nose, "melted male witch" aesthetic and make him look like a legitimate burn victim— but since that was the only thing they changed about his look, it didn't really gel at all. They were trying to combine nostalgia and…

Remember the halcyon days, when studios didn't give two sh*ts about horror film continuities? When the Friday the 13th series could age-up a character by a whole decade between films without acknowledging that any time had passed? When Halloween decided to completely ignore three franchise entries because they just…

Best part of the movie— Michael Fassbender, alone on the ship, amusing himself. A minute-and-a-half, tops. As soon as all the other characters wake up, it all goes downhill.

Y'know, it would have been a lot easier to connect the Prometheus franchise to the Alien franchise if they'd just shot the movie the way it was originally written. As an Alien prequel.

It's like 20th Century Fox is trying to keep these two under lock and key by offering them a blank check to make as many quasi-original sci-fi films as they can stomach.

Okay, first of all, while this is obviously a colossal waste of time, I appreciate the fact that it's a well-made, immersive waste of time.

I don't know… on one hand, it's fantastic that Bill Finger is FINALLY getting the respect and recognition he deserves for his undeniable contributions to the Batman mythos (which is to say, most of it).

It's.
About.
Goddamn.
Time.

… Okay, while I am loving the DC TV universe so far… this is really a disappointing costume. He looks like a first-generation Borg that someone spray-painted maroon.

I'm not trolling you! I just don't appreciate his angle on the character.
