New ‘Bumblebee’ Transformer Movie Features Iconic Yellow Volkswagen Beetle Vehicle Form (Trailer)
June 6, 2018
Every adventure has a beginning. Watch the official teaser trailer for Bumblebee now, starring @HaileeSteinfeld and @JohnCena! See #BumblebeeMovie in theatres this Christmas. pic.twitter.com/BpmaVVxiv5

Not mad at this at all. Feels like this flick’s storytelling will move closer to the comics and old cartoons. Good stories, maybe enough to pull a good movie from. When the Transformers emerged from 4 million years stasis on Earth, Bumblebee was a key figure. Though not the biggest or strongest, he was often entrusted with important spy missions, with protecting the Witwickys (Sparkplug, who helped discover a fuel conversion process for the Autobots, and his son Buster)… plus he could SWIM (comic fact-checking by ojones1, so y’all can ‘at’ him if you wanna argue, hahaaaa)!
Of course, Hollywood won’t stick to the 80s story too tight, but this still could make for a good holiday film.

The End Of “Avengers: Infinity War” Explained (Video)
May 30, 2018
WARNING: Do NOT watch if you have not seen ‘Infinity War’ and do not want it spoiled!
Okay, Marvel usually licenses properties in 3’s, but there is a lot of grain and grist in the rumor mill saying there will be an ‘Avengers 4’… and bits & pieces viewers got by the movie’s end actually make that make sense.
Whoa. You’ve just come out of Avengers: Infinity War. You’ve cheered at all the fights. Laughed at all the jokes. You’ve been shaken, speechless and sobbing. You’ve made an appointment for therapy for tomorrow. Don’t worry…we’re all right there with you. There’s only one cure for the post-Infinity War blues, and that’s diving straight into the ending and trying to figure out what the hell just happened — and what the hell is going to happen next. Strap in, put your helmet on, and prepare your haunches, people. Here’s the ending of Avengers: Infinity War explained. And of course, gigantic, earth-shattering spoilers ahead. Last chance to turn back…

Have you seen that new Deadpool in theaters yet? Well, Stephen Colbert saw Deadpool a while ago… during his opening monologue… and it was hella funny!

Comedy: ‘Deadpool’ Took A Shot At David Beckham Last Movie… Apology NOT Accepted (Video)
May 15, 2018
Can’t rightly call this a “Deadpool 2” trailer. These apology attempts to David Beckham are hilarious and make for an awesome standalone video clip… but still… go see “Deadpool 2” because that’s gonna be dope, too.
#GoGetEmPoolboy
After surviving a near-fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.
– 20th Century Fox
Okay, the writers had a field day with that description (above) AND this clip (um… abover). Enjoy!
(And for the record, Mr. Beckham: I LOVE “Blade: Trinity” – especially Ryan’s portrayal of Hannibal King. So there!)

T’Challa And Zuri Speak On Memories Of King T’Chaka In This Deleted Scene From “Black Panther” (Video)
May 8, 2018
Lookit. No bullsh!t. For real. The deleted scenes are almost like trailers; as looking at what did NOT make the final cut for “Black Panther” is almost as enticing as wanting to see what did! Check out this scene focused on T’challa the rising ruler of Wakanda.
And remember: This is what they didn’t include in the film. No wonder the movie was so dope #WakandaForever

“Avengers: Infinity Wars” Just Hit Theaters, And Now Marvel Drops An Extended Teaser For “Ant-Man & The Wasp” (Trailer)
May 3, 2018
Real heroes. Not actual size. Watch the brand new trailer for Marvel Studios' "@AntMan and The Wasp," in theaters July 6! #AntManandtheWasp pic.twitter.com/4nGd0QSJAW
— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) May 1, 2018
Is Marvel trying to take DC out? Asking for a friend (who may or may not be worried about DC’s survival in the coming months). Check it. “Black Panther” was the Spring face smash across the movie industry… Then “Avengers: Infinity Wars” followed up with the heart stomp… and they still have “Deadpool 2” and “Ant-Man & The Wasp”. Plus all the Marvel TV series coming back and coming soon this summer and fall AND the Netflix game Marvel is killing.
Oh wait, I’m sorry. DC had a good debut season for “Black Lightning.” Respect. But that about it.
Just watch the trailer. And somebody tell DC to step it up over there!

Watch This Deleted Scene From “Black Panther”… A Confrontation Between The Heads Of The Dora Milaje And Border Tribe (Video)
May 2, 2018
Summon the Dora Milaje! Conflict!
In this deleted scene, the “Black Panther” characters Okoye and W’Kabi (Danai Gurira and Daniel Kaluuya) are going at it. Did you know that they were MARRIED though? The characters, not Danai and Daniel.
Great scene. Too bad it didn’t make the final cut.

Absolutely, it’s still #WakandaForever around here and everywhere, but can we please get a heavy, heavy nod for a SECOND season of our Black hero-king on the small screens? Yep, Netflix is setting out another round of “Luke Cage” for us to binge on. Watch the trailer!
Luke Cage shows off his superhero strength by competing in the physical and mental tests of the combine event, similar to the one that college football players have gone through on their way to the NFL Draft… In this clip, Luke takes on the combine to show his true power to the world and to himself.

Marvin “Krondon†Jones III Speaks On Starring In ‘Black Lightning’ And His Rap Career (Video)
April 16, 2018
Been really into the latest addition to The CW’s #DareToDefy lineup, “Black Lightning.” Dope from all angles. And a word on casting: When ‘Scooter’ from “Living Single” (shout to the homie @65phenom aka BigDee for that non-trivial bit of TV trivia) is the hero… AND your main bad guy is KRNDN aka Krondon (of Strong Arm Steady)… AND you have Salim Akil and Mara Brock Akil at the helm… your show is Black af and lit as ‘Lightning!’
*needle scratches record*
But waaait. Krondon is on TV as the villain?? Doooope! Watch him speak on that and other stuff in this interview.

SYFY Set To Tell The Story Of ‘The House Of El’ On “Krypton” (Trailer)
February 22, 2018
Okay, I’ll be there for this. Not an avid fan of SYFY series, but the channel has put out a couple of gems. Hope this one is good.
The legacy of the House of El is no longer safe. Brainiac is coming. Rao help us all.
Krypton premieres 3.21 on SYFY.
In particular, I want to see how the ‘House Of El’ will play out. Jor-El – father of Kal-El (aka Superman) – and most of the El ancestry is not known to us; which is good because that means there is a greatly-reduced chance of making fanboys and purists upset.
And there has been talk of the Kryptonian deity Rao on The CW series “Supergirl.” I’m interested in that story angle, too. Seeing as how Superman is pretty much a ‘god’ on Earth… what does a god’s god and religion ‘look like’ in this canon?
Of course, there is Brainiac. If they f**k that story arc up there will be consequences and repercussions!
