Fuck it, like you're working today anyway. Let's watch some previews!

Mockingjay: Part One (feat. Lorde)
One of the nice things about making a movie where every literate person on the fucking planet already knows the story: You can put out trailers that sell a mood rather than selling a plot. And then if you want to get everybody extra excited, you include four of the best things in the world: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Lawrence, and Lorde. The whistle at the end of this might as well be from Mockingjay's marketing department, strolling off into the sunset, thinking how easy their job is.

Thor Versus Moby Dick
Ron Howard takes on the true story that inspired Moby-Dick. I'm going to try to keep my expectations in check for this one—I'd love to see a Moby-Dick movie that actually lives up to the book, but the narrative distance from Melville here (and Ron Howard probably being all Ron Howard-y) could easily keep that from happening. What a weird space for this movie to exist in: It's trading on people knowing and loving Moby-Dick; it also isn't Moby-Dick.

Channing Tatum: Impressionable Wrestler
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Right now, seeing the Annapurna Pictures logo before a film is about as fool-proof a mark of quality as movies have these days. Seriously, look at this production history. That's a better track record than Pixar's. Also: Bennett Miller. Also: Mark Ruffalo. Also: Chatum.

Why Don't You Play in Hell?
:D


And on the note of rainbow yakuza blood, I bid you good day.
