Cats Trailer
Ok, before I go on, I do actually like musicals ( Sweeney Todd, Repo: The Genetic Opera, and of course the Rocky Horror Picture Show to name a few.) I think the music to Cats in the trailer sounds great and its obvious a lot of time, effort, and talent went into this movie: but I have to agree with a lot of other critics, the makeup is creepy as hell. The visuals of all these stars turned into Cat people is really damn off putting and doesn’t make think of cats but Alf’s mutated cousins. I hope the movie can get past the strange makeup effects. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Revenge of the Nerds (1984)
I am fairly sure this movie saw a whole host of nerds getting their ass kicked in the mid and late 1980s. The movie has a simple concept, a group of nerds goes to school completely unknown to each other. A bunch of jocks accidentally burn their house down and kick everyone out of the freshmen dorms. Eventually, the nerds find a home, fix it up and attempt to become their own fraternity.
When they discover they have to get sponsored by a national fraternity to do so, they become Lambda Lambda Lambdas and attempt to take over the greek counsel to force a vote so they can become official. This leads to a bunch of issues with the jocks, hilarity ensues. Tho I am fairly sure one of the sex scenes counts as rape since the one nerd pretends to be someone he isn’t to sleep with the woman he has a crush on, tho afterward she is also magically ok with it? So its a very odd scene that in today’s world would not fly at all. The movie itself is a classic and a must-watch for fans of the era. You can catch it now on Hulu. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Top Gun Maverick Trailer
I think I missed a time warp where I ended up in the 1980s but here we are, the first trailer for Top Gun Maverick. Of course, starring Tom Cruise and releasing in 2020, the movie looks pretty solid but it also kind of looks like a huge nostalgia cash grab to me. That being said, there isn’t a ton to go off and there is plenty of time for me to be wrong. Regardless, enjoy the trailer and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
His Dark Materials trailer 1
This Comic- con trailer left me intrigued and confused. First, not knowing anything about the the source material going in, I felt I was watching a trailer for 2 totally different stories. The first half feels like a dark, war thriller while the other half feels like a dark fantasy. Either way, I like the tone and I’m always a fan of James McAvoy’s work as an actor. Upon doing some quick research I discovered the Golden Compass was an adaptation of the first part of this series and frankly I prefer this look and feel more than the film adaptation; the armored up polar bear is pretty badass here. I’m actually curious and may look into the books after seeing this. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Overboard (2018)
The 2018 version of Overboard stars Anna Faris (Kate Sulivan) a mother of three, pizza deliver woman and would be nurse if she could pass the test. Eugenio Derbez (Leonardo Montenegro) plays the billionaire playboy whos yacht needs to be cleaned while he entertains numerous women and drinks his life away. Like the 80’s version, the two don’t get along and there is a fight that leaves poor Kate unpaid and floating in the ocean. After an accident, Leo is left in the hospital with no memory. His rich sister that wants the family company leaves him there so he can be lost in the system.
Kate, of course, sees him on the news and decides to get her money worth the same way the 80;s version played out. She fakes their marriage and send him to work and makes him cook and clean while she studies for her test. It is also worth mentioning they specifically mention a woman with amnesia from the ’80s this happened to in the same city.
The two of course eventually fall in love and make quite the nice couple, until his memory comes back when Leo’s youngest sister figures out what the oldest sister did. You can watch the movie to see how it plays out, younger people may prefer it to the 80’s version. It isn’t a bad movie but I do like the other better. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Overboard (1987)
The 1987 movie Overboard starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell is a classic to many fans of 80’s movies, tho it didn’t fair to well with critics and ranked in just under $27 million which for the time wasn’t too bad. The story itself has Dean Profitt (Kurt) playing a single father of three kids and carpenter is hired by Joanna (Goldie) to build a closet on her yacht. Joanna is kind of a dick so when the two get into a fight Dean is left angry and unpaid and she leaves.
Joanna, however, ends up falling overboard in an accident and left hospitalized with amnesia. When Dean finds out he decides to get his money one way or the other and pretends to be her husband. This nets him a mother for his kids and a free housewife. The plan starts out fairly well but as we all know in the end, this doesn’t go well for long. The two do of course fall in love because its a romantic comedy after all. It is a great watch for fans of the era but I feel like it doesn’t hold up very well for new fans. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Borderlands 3 “So Happy Together” trailer
I’m always blown away how far this game has come and how damn quick it has. There isn’t actually gameplay involved as disclaimed in the trailer but it’ll get you pumped watching the new Vault Hunters dance to this chipper tune while unleashing chaos in a way only Borderlands can. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot Trailer
Oh, Jay and Silent Bob, Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, you funny weird bastards. This trailer and movie are about to be no exception. At first, I kind of assumed it would be some weird reboot of the Jay and Silent Bob universe which bummed me out but trusting Kevin Smith I was going to watch regardless. However, finding out that it is a movie about a reboot of the movie made in Jay and Silent Bob strike back I am really looking forward to this one. So enjoy the trailer and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
The King’s Man teaser
I’ve never been a fan of the secret agent thing but I have to admit I was incredibly impressed by the first Kingsman movie. While I didn’t see the second and heard mixed reviews, the impression of the first stayed with me. As for the prequel, it’s actually a good idea and the time period lends itself for some interesting ideas. It looks gritty which is interesting. In the end, I’d check it out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
