You Think You're So Content

THIS WEEK SAW THREE GREAT TRAILERS TO THREE GREAT-LOOKING MOVIES GOT RELEASED WITHIN THREE DAYS. ALERT: SORRY FOR THE CAPS LOCK. I'M JUST TOO EXCITED. THIS MAY BE THE ONLY POST THAT FEATURED NOTHING BUT TRAILERS. I THOUGHT I WAS VERY EASILY SATISFIED WITH CATCHING FIRE'S TRAILER. BUT JJ ABRAMS AND ZACK SNYDER PROVED ME WRONG. I WAS NOT CONTENT.

MONDAY: THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE

LOOKING GREAT THERE, KATNISS. THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS TRAILER IS ALTHOUGH IT IS 2.45 MINUTES, IT DOESN'T SHOW YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THE HUNGER GAMES AND ANYTHING ABOUT THE PRE-GAME PREPARATION (NO FINNICK ODAIR, NO CINNA). IT'S ALL ABOUT THE VICTORY TOUR AND LIFE IN DISTRICT 12. IT ALL HAS THE SAME LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST MOVIE YET WITH LESS SHAKY CAM. JEN LAWRENCE LOOKS GREAT AND SO DO THE REST OF THE CAST.

TUESDAY: STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS

THIS IS THE THIRD TRAILER FOR STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS AND IT STILL SHOWS US NOTHING BUT THE PROMISE OF A SUPER EXCITING, LENS FLARE-BLAZING SUPER SEQUEL. THIS TRAILER PROVES THAT THIS MOVIE MAY BE BETTER THAN MOST MOVIES THIS SUMMER. AT EVERYTHING. AND SO DOES BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH WHO I ACTUALLY MIGHT END UP ROOTING FOR. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THE FILM OPENS 4 MONTHS LATE THAN THE WORLD IN JAPAN.

WEDNESDAY: MAN OF STEEL

THE FIRST TWO TRAILERS MAY BE MORE OF A MONTAGE THAN AN ACTUAL TRAILER. HERE WE HAVE WHAT SEEMS TO BE HANS ZIMMER'S NEW SUPERMAN THEME AND LET ME TELL YOU: IT IS CRAZY ADDICTIVE. IT MAY NOT BE AS SUPER MEMORABLE LIKE JOHN WILLIAM'S BUT BOY THIS ONE IS MAJESTICALLY THE SAME. HERE, WE HAVE MORE JOR-EL, MORE KRYPTON, MORE ZOD, MORE LOIS, MORE EVERYTHING. CLARK/KAL-EL/SU-(ZIIIINGG!--EXCUSE ME?) MAY THINK WE ARE NOT READY FOR HIM, BUT I AM MORE THAN READY FOR HIM. AGAIN, THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THE ZACK SNYDER FILM OPENS 2 MONTHS LATE IN JAPAN.

I'M SIGNING OUT FOR TODAY TO WATCH MAN OF STEEL'S TRAILER OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SEE YOU FO'SHO ON THE LAST WEEK OF APRIL FOR AN ACTUAL MOVIE REVIEW OF IRON MAN 3.
