Oh my word . . . I will admit I know nothing about Mortal Engines other than what Mrs Earth-Prime and I saw when the teaser trailer played before Solo, but that and this trailer makes me want to watch this film NOW!
Sure, the plot seems fairly standard – young woman wants revenge on the bad guy, teams up with bad guy’s son and a feisty third wheel with her own agenda before a final confrontation – but look at that clip and imagine seeing that on the cinema screen.
So looking forward to this.
News reaches us here at Earth-Prime that Gotham is finishing, and we think we know why: it’s all down to costs.
No big surprise there, you might think, but it’s a very specific set of costs that are causing problems.
You see, the gentlemen in Gotham are all very well turned out; even Harvey Bullock has gone from the slob he started out as, to someone who routinely wears a shirt and tie, as do most of the gents on the show.
And that’s clearly the problem – all of the money has been pumped in to the men’s outfits, leaving a smaller amount for the ladies of the show.
Take this shot of the cast, for example:
As you can see, the gentlemen look fine and dandy.
The ladies . . . well, they’re suffering the effects of the clothing budget cuts as no-one’s bought them any shirts!
If only they hadn’t spent so much money making the blokes looks so good, they might have been able to keep the ladies warm and the show on the screens.
I have a fondness and a fascination for sharks – Jaws is one of my favourite movies; I really enjoyed Deep Blue Sea and will cheerfully spend most of Shark Week on the sofa, watching documentary after documentary on these fantastic creatures. They’re probably second only to squids and octopuses for me.
Finding the trailer for The Meg has pretty much made my day.
It looks like it has waaaaaaaaaay more in common with Deep Blue Sea than Jaws and I really hope it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it sure looks fun at the moment.
And look – it has a giant squid, too!
Ooooooh, nice.
And not a single rainy, grey, washed out, miserable looking scene in the whole thing – please pay attention, Mr Snyder/DC Movies.
