TV/Movies Megathread

Probably a few years too late.

Remember a few years ago, I believe it was the Onion, they made a joke about "the popular Iron Man trailer being adapted into a movie".  I laughed.  I guess many of you did too.

Guess what?  Now we have the trailer for the trailer...

(bottom of the page for the video)
15 seconds of footage that ends with "Watch the worldwide trailer debut Friday".

Teaser trailers have been here for a while already.

a teaser for a movie before the official and longer trailer, yes.  But a teaser for a trailer, this is the first time I've seen it.

They're just saying "Watch the trailer for more!" It's still a teaser for the movie(or game?)

Then you haven't been looking much.

trailer is out Friday at Blizzcon.  And it's a movie about a video game, not to be confused with a video game about a movie.  See the first one has generally produced very bad movie while the second has produced really bad games most of the times.  Totally different.

They have been doing this "trailer of the trailer" malarkey quite often recently. I recall seeing it for Ant-Man, Avengers and Star Wars this year.

[Syt]

Yeah, teasers have become pretty common, hyping up for the "full length" trailers that are 1 to 3 minutes.

Hey, there's a new series of Fargo, wonder how it'll work out. Watched the first episode...ok so far..... will give it a go.
My mother: "How can there be a new Fargo, he's dead."
Me: "eh?"
Mother: "Fargo. He died in the last one"
Me: "...you watched the whole series and think the main character is called Fargo?....Fargo is a place...."

So this runs in the family?

To be frank, Billy Bob Thornton's character had a similar-sounding name to "Fargo". Moms are great at mishearing names.

Muppets continues to kick ass.

Mystery in the Bermuda Triangle (1979)

Iran and Mexico are going to sign a treaty in order to exchange nuclear technology in Bermuda (Thanks, Jimmy Carter!) but a fanatical nationalist of an unnamed country wants to kill the Iranian princess so that Iran will be forced to sign the treat with his country instead.  Fortunately the princess is a friend of Santo; he, Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras agree to be her covert body guards.  Plus there's Atlantis, there's always Atlantis.

Santo was 62 when this film was made, so the fighting is remarkably lame.  The only worthwhile fight scene is where the Iranian princess repeatedly kicks the terrorist's ass; it's quite possibly the most satisfying scenes in the history of Mexican cinema.

Bridge of Spies.

At last, a movie that recognizes that lawyers engaged in difficult negotiations on behalf of clients are the real heroes! 

[MadImmortalMan]

Jay Leno trying to fill the Top Gear gap with Jay Leno's Garage.

He seems to be a pretty good driver actually. The first couple episodes were interesting, but this kind of show can flame out once the ideas run out. We'll see.
