Yesterday, the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron leaked online. Marvel and Disney made a couple of half-hearted attempts to get people to take it down. Then they gave in.

But during all that, they had perhaps the best response to a leaked trailer that anyone has ever, or will ever have:

Dammit, Hydra.

They quickly relented and realized the best thing to do was just go ahead and release the teaser trailer officially. And what a trailer it is. This thing is super serious. I’m certain there will be some Joss Whedon humor in it, but it’s…

As ever, the ScreenJunkies Honest trailers are amazing! They knocked this one out of the park.

Honestly, Trans4mers was so bad, I don’t know how Michael Bay or anyone else invovled with the film lives with themselves. But whatever. Sure makes for a great Honest Trailer for us.

On of the better films this year was Edge of Tomorrow. It was fun, funny, dramatic, and had a great story. One thing that might surprise you though, is that it apparently made use of a lot more practical effects than you might imagine. We often assume that modern sci-fi is filled with green screen and CGI, and yes those things are most certainly present in Edge of Tomorrow, but this b-roll reel indicates that they used practical effects wherever possible. I find that practical effects tend to abound in good films and this would not be an exception.

I also find it interesting some of the…

THE WHAT?:  It’s a column on Star Wars news and rumors and therefore contains SPOILERS and SPECULATION. This time, more spoilers than speculation.

THIS WEEK: APPLE WATCH AIN’T GOT NOTHING ON ME. Exclusive photos of the badassest X-Wing to get the movie treatment, plus some details about X-Wings in Episode VII.

Yeah, so, obvious spoilers ahead.

And now for the main event! NEWS! (Or Rumors, depending on your personal categorization and general mistrust of a guy who acts the way I do).

We live in an age where airplane pilots and drones are getting our set photos for us,…

I think the Star Trek series I want in HD the most is Deep Space Nine. Well, I mean, I want it all in HD if I’m being honest, but Deep Space Nine is such a great series and it would be very awesome to have it in HD. I go back and forth on whether I like it better than TNG and it kind of depends on the day you ask me. But it is great Star Trek and I enjoy it and I want it. Let’s make this happen guys.

So to the reason I’m talking about this today: TrekCore put together some of the footage from the HD remastered TNG episodes that features Deep Space Nine — after all, one of the episodes did…

I love a good parody as you will already know. The guys at HISHE do pretty good work. It seems like they haven’t been putting out a lot of stuff recently, which makes it all the more exciting when they release something. Not too long ago, they started doing something called The Villain Pub, which is sort of analogous to the Super Cafe, but obviously for the villains. They’ve been introducing it slowly at the end or during one of their regular How it Should Have Ended videos.

So without further ado, here’s the new Villain Pub.

Also, I found a video of all the other Villain Pubs put…

What’s so funny is that I’m an avid honest trailer watcher. I love it, it cracks me up. So I think we talked about it in the commentary we used to sit in the room and go, “this is not going to end up in an Honest Trailer. This logic isn’t sound enough yet.” We literally tried to Honest Trailer proof the movie. Because what Honest Trailers really is, and I’ll say litmus test again, is “how sound is the logic in your film? How ridiculous are the buys that you’re asking the audience to make?” So we would just comb through the script over and over again and go, “how do we shore up this logic?…

Godzilla is one of those films that sours the more I think about it and the further removed I am from the watching of it. It just didn’t live up to the hype and was not at all the movie we were promised in the trailers. So while Honest Trailers will so often be an over-the-top critique of films I actually liked, this one hits much closer to home. Don’t get me wrong, even when I love the movie, I usually always enjoy the Honest Trailer, but this one is just spot on with actual criticism.

I loved Guardians of the Galaxy, but if I were nitpicking, I would point out that cassette tapes and cassette players rarely worked in a flawless enough way to keep a tape in good shape for 30 some years. In fact, in the real world, Peter Quill’s cassette tape would have died long ago just from normal magnetic and physical deterioration of the media. Then there’s the fact that after a tape player eats a tape enough times, it either breaks or becomes completely unplayable in some fashion. Then there’s the sound quality. I know we used to listen to those (roughly) 20KHz tapes all the time back…
