BY THE HAMMER OF CROM! THIS IS THE MOST AWESOMELY MACHO TRAILER WE’VE SEEN IN AGES, SO MACHO WE’VE DECIDED TO USE CAPSLOCK, THAT MOST BARBARIAN OF ALL TYPOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES TO PROMOTE IT.
TO BE HONEST WE REALLY CAN’T TELL IF IT’LL BE CLASSIC OR ‘KULL THE CONQUROR’ FROM THIS, BUT IT’S SO REMARKABLY GRUFF WE HAD TO SHARE.
YOU CAN THANK US IN HELL, OUTLANDER!
Yet more superheroics on STS today, as Thor and Cap are joined by the less well-regarded (at least, inside the Marvel Universe) mutant heroes The X-Men. Here’s the first trailer for upcoming X-Men: First Class (we covered it before, but frankly got a bit distracted by a certain ex-MadMen star..), and it looks -not nearly as bad as we’d thought.
Sure the uniforms are dorky, but have enough 60s flair that they feel real enough, and Magneto’s younger cape/buckethead combo really does resemble his 60s comic counterpart -as does the storyline. Longtime comic fans will recall that the X-Men first encounter the deadly master of magnetism as he invades a missile base…
Whether or not this will work sans a certain razor-clawed mutton chopped killing machine remains to be seen, but based on this it could be some fun classic era espionage action.
Clips and Pics from upcoming offworld-actioner Predators are ten a penny on the net this month, but this clip courtesy of BDTV bought back such fond memories of a childhood spent shouting ‘This stuff’ll make you a godammn sexual tyrannosaur’ that we had to show it.
An almost shot-for-shot recreation of the original movie as Adrian Brody’s mercs encounter the multi-mandibled hunter-killer for the first time, we also get to catch a glimpse of a very special cinematic weapon – yep, Old Painless is back!
The arrival of a new Harry Potter movie is always cause celebre round at STS towers, partly because we are entirely staffed by illegally imported child labourers, and partly because I quite closely resemble Voldemort.
Anyway -the new Deathly Hallows trailer hit the web today, and it seems that Harry is still more than capable of seeing off the hordes of Twihards despite his advancing years.
Continuing the series’ now trademark descent into ever darker territory, the trailer hints that many of the books more whimsical elements will still find their way onto the screen, while the outstanding effects work promises a truly awesome final showdown with he who shall not be named.
As someone who actually makes something I laughingly refer to as a living from memes, apps, tools and general online doodads, I’ve been awaiting the Facebook movie ‘The Social Network’ with some trepidation, mainly because it will mean one of two things;
A:Tons of gibbering chimpos will watch it, hear the numbers being bandied around and set themselves up as ‘Social Media Gurus’ on Twitter, meaning it’ll be even harder for me to get a gig. Or
B:Tons of gibbering chimpos will watch it, and realise that what I do for a living isn’t actually that hard, I’ve just been fooling people into paying me over the odds.
Whatever, this new trailer has just pooped up over at www.500millionfriends.com, and it looks like the history of Monsiour Zuckerburg and his all-pervasive ivy league yearbook is going for the tense, courtroom drama angle. How tense you can get with Justin Timberlake as your leading man is up for debate, but will it hold Facebook’s creators up as heros -or point them out for ridicule?
More to the point -does anyone really give a shit about watching a college boy in a hoody make several billion dollars because people love to poke, farm and off each other Mafia style at this point?
Like or Unlike?
The Social Network is out in October.
