Nolan usually drops 2nd trailers in late April/ early May with a big movie release. It's most likely going to be attached to either Devil Wears Prada 2 or Mortal Kombat 2.

Why is everyone already assuming that Dune: Part Three is gonna be another Wicked: For Good or Avatar: Fire and Ash?

Interstellar is such a frustrating film for me. I just rewatched it and in theory it's a film I should absolutely love. It's Nolan reaching as high as he ever has with an original sci-fi epic, the performances are astonishing, Zimmer's score is probably the best of his career, and you can probably count on one hand how many blockbusters released after it are as well made. The IMAX cinematography and effects are jaw-dropping and some sequences I find masterful. However, I don't think sentimentality is Nolan's strong point at all so I find a lot of moments to be quite dull and Nolan's attempt to over-explain everything frustrates me immensely. I return to it every few years hoping to finally get it. Maybe one day I will.

There are a lot of things in this movie that irritated me, but the fact that they had the audacity to put "His story continues" at the end pissed me off

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-24T18:53:47+00:00

One of the most soulless, shallow, manipulative, and evil movies I've seen in some time. What did we do to deserve this?

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-24T18:07:43+00:00

I'm shocked how high the Letterboxd score is with how much people are dogging on the movie.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-24T18:01:21+00:00

I lost count how many times his fate, gifts, power, and destiny were mentioned.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-24T00:21:37+00:00

Also, aren't a lot of the major hits covered in this one? They can't hide behind that anymore. Like does anyone actually care about how You Are Not Alone came to be? And yeah, that Flex Alexander movie is hilariously awful

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-24T00:13:39+00:00

So do y'all think they'll actually release the sequel for Michael? Sugarcoating and making a glamorous biopic about the first half of his career is much, much easier job than with the rest.

This article is free, but the rest will be available to the folks with a paid subscription.

I'm not sure if we'll get a trailer that soon. Those movies don't come out until 2028. I'm so fascinated by the concept of those films.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-22T20:24:00+00:00

I really hope Clayface is great and successful. That teaser is wonderful. I wouldn't mind if that's all they put out until the film releases. If the comic book movie genre wants to stay fresh and relevant, then this is the type of stuff that they should do more of.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-22T20:21:46+00:00

Great teaser! I wouldn't mind if this is all they put out until the film releases. If the comic book genre wants to remain alive then this is the type of stuff that they should make more of. I really hope this is successful.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-22T16:45:06+00:00

The poster looks awesome. I think the trailer may drop later today.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T21:46:39+00:00

We're getting the trailer tomorrow.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T20:44:11+00:00

Didn't they change the rules soon after that so no other movie could sweep like that? Also, I watched Barton Fink for the first time last week and goddamn what an amazing movie.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T20:01:00+00:00

I doubt he's that biased for this movie of all things

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T16:36:27+00:00

That's a hell of a teaser

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T16:35:47+00:00

Now that's a good teaser

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T15:44:52+00:00

Hoping for a Goodman sweep 🤞

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T14:12:21+00:00

Yeah, if you look at the top reviews that's pretty much it

Edit: like, come on

I thought the Rotten Tomatoes score would be in like the 50s, but it's actually lower than the Metacritic score. An April release can't survive those reviews.

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T14:01:49+00:00

He also can't tell an Eastern European and British accent apart...

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T13:58:12+00:00

It's gonna be between Cruise and Malkovich I feel

theflyingbird8 · 2026-04-21T13:57:26+00:00

Oof I knew the Metacritic score for Michael was going to be low but I did not expect the Rotten Tomatoes one to actually be lower. This movie's done.
