This cultural moment is a long, long time coming. Stories have been waiting to be told five years, twenty years, forty years, forty millennia. That we’re at a moment where we’re finally beginning to listen is a positive thing even if the movement isn’t a simple, good vs. evil process. Yes, there is a mob mentality to…

Does ‘Wag the Dog’ really need a 20th anniversary retrospective?

Good for John Oliver for pressing the issue. And to bring up Weinstein and Spacey as if one groping allegation should just be shrugged off is an attempt at making the bad appear good because it’s not insanely evil. It’s still bad. And there’s still more than one allegation as the related stories shows.

“Dunkirk” the first one where the soldiers are on the pier and one soldiers turns around to the buzzing of the Stuka, then every solider quickly hits the deck

It was a flawed movie (to put it lightly) but the trailers for Valerian were fantastic. (Ok technically this was a Nov 2016 trailer for a 2017 movie)

Not that I’d ever see the movie, because I don’t like horror movies, but the trailer for A Quiet Place was rather good. There’s not a lot of two-minute trailers for studio movies that contain no dialogue:

I got to watch it in one of the big halls at SDCC. Hearing Thriller on that type of sound system again was BITCHIN. 

just stand there in your wrongness and be wrong.

All these hot takes! Someone call the fire department!

Election 2020.

Uh-huh. Look, if you need a hug then just say so. Okay?

The single best trailer of the year was “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri” redband. Any list missing this trailer is pretty suspect.

It is a silly line. But it’s a line that’s totally unique. The kid isn’t saying something generic like “You’re all gonna die!” (even if that is essentially what the kid is saying) but “You’ll float too!” is different and creates a mystery all of its own.

The Thriller Stranger Things trailer was incredible. Looks like it wouldn’t have even been considered since this is purely movie trailers, but that trailer was brilliant.

I’m assuming Netflix series aren’t eligible, but the Thriller Stranger Things trailer was really great:

The IT trailer was a work of pure genius. If you knew the book or the tv movie, then the trailer was filled with piles of nostalgia and references.

The best trailer I ever saw was the Terminator 2 trailer. It told me exactly what was going to happen, so I could go into it in clear conscience with the happy knowledge there were no nasty “twists” or hidden surprises. I was happy with it and wish trailers would do that again. I like to know in advance what I’m…

Not sure if it counts since it’s a 2016 trailer for a 2017 movie, but I’m going to give a shout out to Kong: Skull Island’s trailer, with its great blending of music, sound effects, and images, all combining to make the air bombardment of a giant ape seem almost harmonious. Great use of tension, too, raising the…

First trailer for Three Billboards should be on the list if not too it.

I think Blade Runner 2049 is the best one.
