It’s movie trailer season!
1. Thor: Ragnarok – I love the banter between Thor and Hulk/Banner. Everything I’ve seen about this movie looks like fun.
2. Star Trek: Discovery – I’m intrigued enough to want to see more, and it will be nice to have some new television-style Star Trek. We don’t have CBS All Access, but I’m sure it will be available on Blu-ray eventually.
3. Ready Player One – I know a lot of people loved this one, but for some reason, the book just didn’t work for me, and the trailer seems to be following suit. The trailer looks pretty, but it doesn’t grab me.
4. Justice League – I don’t know. DC’s cinematic universe has let me down again and again…but then they did Wonder Woman, and I started to hope again. This looks like it could be fun. Or it could be a mess. I’m withholding judgement for the moment.
Which ones, if any, are you looking forward to?

Stalking Artemis further cemented my dislike for him.
I found the rest of the book reasonably okay. And the idea that someone rode herd on Cline while writing the screenplay, and Spielberg directing, means I'm cautiously optimistic about the movie.
(Meanwhile, this looks like the first good Star Trek since Galaxy Quest, and I'm there day 1 for Thor. Justice League just looks like the first three truly awful DCCU movies done again, and more, like they learned nothing from Wonder Woman. I hope I'm wrong, it would be nice for DC movies to start being good-on-the-regular instead of "holy shit, one was GOOD? HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN?")
I'm looking forward to Justice League, though I haven't liked this version of Superman.
I really, really want this Star Trek to be good.
