Glass Review (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Story

  • Very decisive
  • One hand: Decent & self-contained follow-up to both Split and Unbreakable in the form of an “Event Film”
  • Other hand: The fact that it’s an “Event Film” hinders it from being as impactful as Unbreakable and Split. Well, at least Unbreakable.
  • There was a whole story that was easy to follow and analyze in many different ways. But because of the ensemble and how time in the film was divided among all of them, th...

Spider-Man: Far From Home - Official Teaser Trailer (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

(Pauses trailer) Well it’s good to see y’all being dust for a whole-ass movie ain’t get your spirits down...

_____

So this teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home... Y’all sure you didn’t just release the FULL trailer, Sony?

I’m asking, because y’all just let a lot of shit out in the wilderness that could’ve been easily reserved in a wildlife reservation

Not a Zoo, a wildlife reservation; those are two completely different things

Unbreakable: Interviewing Mr. Glass (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Readers, to prepare for M Night Shyamalan’s upcoming movie Glass, I re-watched my favorite movie of his a while back, Unbreakable and realized that... Mr. Glass is a piece of shit

And no, this isn’t me saying that Mr. Glass is a shitty villain; personally, outside of the way Unbreakable ended, we never really got a chance to see Elijah as a full-blown villain and I’m pretty stoked to see how that happens in Glass

But after taking into consideration everything he...

Unbreakable: Interviewing Mr. Glass | READUS 101

Elijah Price - a.k.a. Mr. Glass in M. Night Shyamalan's movies Unbreakable and Glass - has unapologetically done a lot of things that would definitely be considered just for the sake of finding his place. Here's my previous attempt of trying to find out why he's like this...

Young Justice: Outsiders Ep 4-6 Recap (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Private Security

  • So in the first few minutes of this episode we get an idea of where everyone is after the Markovia mission. /Halo is staying with Artemis and Will, who are clearly just roommates, Prince Brion is staying with Superboy and Miss Martian, and Dr. Jace is staying in Trump Tower/
  • Tell me I’m wrong.
  • However, while the last three episodes proved they were centered around getting the ball rolling on the Metahuman/Outisders arc, it’s clea...

The Death of Superman Review (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Story

  • With this being the third iteration of the story on film, this was the most accurate
  • Will leave that up to you to decide if that’s a good thing or not
  • It synchronises with the Animated Movie Universe that started with War well enough where you don’t HAVE to watch any of the other films, but you should probably have at least War and Throne of Atlantis under your belt to catch the references
  • Feels more like an “event” movie than ...

Young Justice: Outsiders Ep 1-3 RECAP (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

DC Universe is out, and I paid for a year of it. This is DC Discussion

_______

Readers, we got the first three episodes of Young Justice Season 3 Outsiders. Which is pretty much the show everyone was waiting to sign up for DC Universe, real talk

I mean you COULD say the same thing for Titans -- which don’t worry, we will get to that one in a minute -- but at the same time, you already know that’s a lie; like, why unnecessarily exert the energy?

Like, I...

"The Man Called X: Lady of the River" Prologue (SNEAK PEEK)

 

It was Friday night, and Downtown Detroit was as lively as ever. As the setting sun transitioned the sky into a state of twilight, thousands of people were present and anxiously awaiting the city’s nightlife to punch in its timecard. From the many casinos, its fine dining and its dance clubs of many music genres and preferences, everyone within the city took advantage of everything it had to offer, including those who simply wanted a casual stroll along the Detroit Internationa...

Us - Official Trailer (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

(Cuts to empty computer, then appears camera right and points at computer) FUCK YOU!

______

Readers, Jordan Peele got me fucked up.

You see, Get Out wasn’t as bad because... Well, okay, Get Out also had me fucked up

But in my defense, Get Out the MOVIE had me fucked up, not the trailer.

The trailer for US however, got me just as equally fucked up as Get Out the MOVIE.

And upon retrospect, I have to ask myself...HOW?

How can a TRAILER fo...

Spider-Man (PS4): Regarding The Raimi Suit Controversy (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Readers, I have legit feelings about what just happened.

Ever since the last DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 was released and the three costumes revealed for it DIDN’T include the Sam Raimi trilogy suit, Insomniac and their social media peeps were just bombarded with harassment

Not only is that incredibly uncool, but there’s just so many better uses of one’s time

Like, instead of berating a company that has brought you nothing but good times for the l...

Oh. I uh, I guess we’re getting a sequel

Yes Readers, you heard that correctly

/Apparently WEEKS before Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was released, the duo of Amy Pascal and Avi Arad already greenlit 2 more animated Spider-Man projects; one being a direct sequel to Miles Morales’ theatrical debut./ 2018-12-31 22:36:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Readers, before I start today’s Readus Reacts, I just have to ask one thing. How many of us called it?

No, no, no, I’m not talking about the fact this trailer only consists of like, 3 scenes; I’m talking about the bitch actually being called ENDGAME

Dude. Do you know how many times people were properly guesstimating that the subtitle was Endgame?

I can. Because I was amongst them. And I don...

Cowboy Bebop: The Real Folk Netflix Blues (VIDEO SCRIPT)

 

Readers, I was just like you when I was hit with the news.

I was at home, scrolling on my phone, sitting down with no pants on which is the universal sign for “I’m not stepping a foot outside of my fucking apartment”

/When I came across the news that the live-action film rights for one of my favorite anime series Cowboy Bebop had been acquired...by Netflix./

Now at the time, that was all I knew about the situation
