So, Vasquez as double agent for Hydra confirmed?

Everyone saying what a great trailer this is is really not doing favors for my "don't watch anything, it's better to go in blind" plan. Blerg.

Pretty sure it went like this:

So if I'm understanding this trailer correctly, the plot involves suicide-ramming a Starfleet ship into Mudd's massive space-weed farm, which brings down the wrath of the Klingon space-weed cartel, and the Klingons are bald now because otherwise everyone would start thinking of them as space-Jamaicans?

Way to bury the fucking lede about Grobglas there.

You'd be surprised what's possible with modern irrigation methods.

Was there just some TV cooking show trying to do a weird, hastily sketched riff on Lady Macbeth?

Great Job, Internet!

You know, you could actually make a really interesting cultural-apocalypse movie about the creative exhaustion/self-cannibalization of 21st century America where all that's left is a barren, masturbatory husk of nostalgia and referential material.

Have multiple tabs open, like God intended.

" added that the movie won’t just be The Hangover Part II and try to take the easy way out by being 'the same movie in a different location.'"

I mean, Ocean's 12 was frequently funny, it's just that it wasn't also an actually good movie like the first was. They just said fuck it and went for 'watch these actors be goofballs in Europe for 2 hours."

Deffo a bad offender of Prestige TV flaws.

So, to reiterate: If there was any indication that something like this was going to be handled humanely, intelligently, and offered something of value or brought a revealing perspective on the subject matter, than that would be… fine.

2 things about Insomnia - 1) it's arguably an improvement over the original, and 2) there's also something juvenile in discounting it immediately, in that it's… just a movie. By which I mean, it's not really recognizably 'Nolan,' and it's very definitely not as laser-focused in its appeal if we consider the core fan…

Christ, this is exhausting just to read about.

With Grease specifically, it's because many of us were forced to watch this movie every year in school and developed an unrepentant loathing for its every frame, so that going back and figuring out that it shouldn't be taken at face value seems more effort than it deserves.

It's a weird movie in that it only ever gets tangentially referred to but never actually talked about in the way you think it might. Like, there's a lot going on with that movie beyond the 'Oh, like in Jacob's Ladder' thing, but it almost never gets brought up just on its own.

His superpower is having teeth that glow in the dark, presumably.
