New trailer for Wheel of time

Doesn't look too bad, but I have reservations about the beastmen we see.  That looks a little on the cheap side.

You're right! Comcast.

That's disappointing

George Soros of the British Left disappoints.

What the fuck!? The Buzz Lightyear trailer is incredible, channeling vibes from The Martian, Interstellar, and Blade Runner. How can this actually look good? It shouldn't be possible!

It's just a David Bowie song, man.

The same one used in The Martian, at that...

So weird for animated films to be referential tho

I had not realised that the showrunner for Succession (just read an interview) was also the creator of Peep Show. I knew there was some connection to The Thick of It, but hadn't clocked.

Maybe that's Britain's cultural contribution to the 2010s: baroque profanity

[Syt]

Possibly the single most re-used sci-fi prop?

I had heard this show was good. Extra impetus to seek it out there.

Midnight Mass. Don't let the trailer and first episode fool you, it's actually fairly exciting. [spoiler]I'm not crazy about the conceit of using traditional monsters and pretending nobody's heard of them. I blame TWD. [/spoiler]

Battle Angel Alita-
As expected, this was.... A thing.
A movie that seems aimed at teens* based on a pretty obscure early 90s anime. How on earth did it get the go ahead It's all over the place.
It's decent, but not amazing. Despite having flop written all over it, it seems to have done OK.

Also between this and guardians of the galaxy 2 anyone else getting a weird insect fetish?

*there's lots of people dying in horrible ways but it's OK they are cyborgs so no blood to be seen (there should be?) except when a dog very stupidly gets sacrificed.

Young Frankenstein (1974)

(While there wasn't actually tap dancing in them), this does an excellent job of recreating the look of the Universal Horror movies of the 1930s and 40s.  Brooks and Wilder picked up on a lot of details in the films; right down to Igor's goat horn solo.  The jokes are all over the place, as usual in Brooks fare; but more are funny than not.  (The silly "Walk this way" gag would inspire Aerosmith.)
