I know. I’m just continuing the running gag that every tiny morsel of Half-Life news is always confirmation for Half-Life 3.

HL3 is dead for me. Valve realized they make a ton more money publishing games. And if that leaked idea for HL2ep3 is any indication, i'm kinda glad they ended the series before they ran out of ideas.

It has been 11+ years since the last Half Life game. At this point, if they ever decide to revive the property at all, it's going to be a reboot or something completely different.

Doodmann

My guess is they will make one when ray tracing and/or VR become ubiquitous enough.

Aquaman final trailer.

Heatwave

That Nickleback joke got me. So damn true

Nice and colorful at least!

For those of you who don't wander over to SE++, here's a trailer for Jon Bois's latest work coming soon: a five part documentary on MMA.

I'll give DC this: they know how to put a trailer together.

Still, I'll wait for reviews...

LEGO Movie 2

Sorce

LEGO 2

This is absolutely the brother and sister from the first movie playing "against" each other and that's wonderful.

cj iwakura

I'm probably the only person who hopes the stinger from the end of Justice League becomes a thing. It was a great teaser.

skeldare

The Lion King teaser trailer

Cristoval

Looks pretty beat-for-beat so far. Curious if they'll include any of the stuff from the Broadway show or stick to straight remake.

amateurhour

It's kind of weird to me as an adult seeing a live action lion king.

Like, don't most of those animals know they're going to be hunted for food by those other animals?

"But I bow to the king, he won't hunt me."

Anarchy Rules!

I'm just waiting for the live action hula dancing warthog and meerkat

TheBigEasy

I don't understand why though. I looks good and Jungle Book was a good movie. But there are no humans in this movie, why would they need to make it live action?

cj iwakura

It looks good and all, but I have a feeling it'll have the same problem as Beauty and the Beast: it's so note-for-note that you just want to watch the original instead. At least do stuff like Maleficient where it switches things up.

Anarchy Rules!

If all the characters are computer generated on a computer generated background is it even, strictly speaking, live-action?

There is a good change they could put it up for an academy award for best animation if they felt like it.

An animated feature film is defined as a motion picture with a running time of at least 70 minutes, in which movement and characters’ performances are created using a frame-by-frame technique. In addition, a significant number of the major characters must be animated, and animation must figure in no less than 75 percent of the picture’s running time.

The animation blog Cartoon Brew posted an article recently that referred to Disney's insistence that this movie is live action as being disrespectful to all the animators working on it.

Personally I feel like Star Wars and the MCU might as well be considered animated films by this point, too.

Harry Dresden

Artemis Fowl



Ultraman



After



Salvation

TexiKen

I watched that Artemis Fowl trailer twice trying to understand it but it comes across as trying to be just some bland YA hodgepodge that I call it an Art miss Foul.

I was sorta onboard with that Ultraman until they showed some fighting and the frame rate dropped into that Spiderverse/Dragon Prince fuck you we're saving money stuttering.

TexiKen

Now this looks interesting with Aggretsuko potential: stop motion in the vein of Aardman mixed with what is basically a Sanrio competitor mascot? Not a lot here but props if it's real stop motion.

DanHibiki

So is Ultraman the same as Gridman?

TexiKen

which is the same as Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad!

The trailer really isn't doing the concept justice. Artemis Fowl is meant to be about a insufferable boy genius who's a criminal mastermind who gets involved with supernatural entities, like fairies. He ends up befriending the equivalent of the fairy police department. Then shit gets crazy.

Ah yes, and that's gotten an anime reboot as SSSS Gridman which should be out on Netflix pretty soon, and everyone should check that out.

It's basically if you made a kid version of Marcone the lead protagonist of the Dresden Files.

You're not really supposed to trust or like him. I hope they don't fuck it up.

Young Justice

JusticeforPluto

Why was Uncle Iroh fighting superboy and Nightwing?

Taramoor

Would the Blu-Ray Trailer for Venom go here?



Because, uh... they went for it.

If only it were an unrated director's cut that actually made the movie good

Was the first one any good? The trailer made it look really fun. And this one looks like it's kinda the same thing, but more... And I'm okay with that.

AlphaRomero

Happy Death Day is a really fun film. The main character looks like the generic kind of girl you want to die in these kind of films but she becomes endearing. Only in the end does it really fall apart but the journey getting there is great, would recommend it. EDIT: I tell a lie, it does fall apart but they salvage it a little.
