[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

I must really be the only gamer person in my generation who genuinely doesn't care one bit. I'm a PC player and yeah, I know Mario, he's iconic and all, but I've never played a single game he's in if you don't count the odd Mario Kart at someone else's house for 5 minutes durng a party or something. I don't have any emotional connection or interest in the character at all. There's plenty of game characters I do have strong opinions about, but Mario...Has never gotten any traction whatsoever in my mind. If tomorrow Mario's purple, female, and an electrician, I still probably couldn't be arsed to even shrug.
...you realize this is going to be a thing now, right? Except she won't be purple because WAAAAUGHHHH.

Enola Holmes 2 trailer 2
I quite enjoyed the first one. I'm looking forward to this one.
Someone should really tell screenwriters that nail guns don’t just shoot nails like that. You have to press the nozzle down to get the nail to fire.
They don’t care. Just like they don’t care about how guns use suppressors and they don’t “silence” a 9mm pistol to sound less than an air pistol.
Excuse me, good sir, but Hollywood has shown time and again that holding a pillow up to the end of a gun makes it virtually silent.
There's a million things that just plain don't work the way Hollywood portrays them. In some cases it's for dramatic effect, in other cases it's a deliberate choice to avoid giving people pointers about suicide options. In some cases it's just because Hollywood writers don't have a clue.
Every time I run into an episode of something I assume sort of knows what they're talking about on a topic I actually do know stuff about, it bugs me. Some (like hacking) are just so common you kinda get used to it. Some (like coding in medical dramas) are just such a cliché by now you can't realyl change it. But sometimes it's just.....Argh, did they speak to absolutely no-one who has ever been engaged with this topic at all?!

I had one very specific problem like this with Sandman. "Cape Kennedy" isn't a real thing. At least it hasn't been since 1973 when they changed the name back to Cape Canaveral.
That can be handwaved with being an alternate reality.
....It isn't a documentary?!
Yeah, but so can things like how nail guns work. The point is that something can be great and still have a frustrating detail that you can't unsee because of a specific bit of unique knowledge.
Sometimes, I wonder. There was a restaurant called "Fiddler's Green" in Satellite Beach for a long time, and it's gone now.......It isn't a documentary?!
Probably a coincidence.
Don't listen to the bad man, of course it's a documentary.....It isn't a documentary?!
I was more shocked by a house in Florida having a basement
Good point.
Eh, this has strong echoes of Rocky III. You have the protagonist enjoying the fruits of success and fame being challenged by someone who feels they have been overlooked and disrespected. The challenger is very big and muscular, suggesting a power gap that favors the antagonist. And the antagonist kills/severely injuries someone close to the protagonist.
Still, it could be interesting. It all depends on how well it's written.

Uh....wut? That looks like an overly long SNL skit that you giggle at the premise and then wonder when the fuck is this thing going to be over? Oh shit, they're doing the whole christmas carol thing? Oh my god is this ever going to end? Where's the wine? No god damn it I don't want a glass, just let me chug the whole bottle.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Trailer #1
There was a time in my life when I would have seen this trailer and been interested in seeing the movie. Now, my reaction was "Oh, generic action movie #5027... guess Gerard Butler needs something to keep himself grizzled."
Gerard Butler only does generic action movies.
