Pre-Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailers

Jurassic Park: the new one Looks godawful.

Terminator: We Can't Spell looks more interesting. By which I mean, my thought pattern went 'new liqui-terminator looks familiar', 'OMG, OMG, new Terminator is being played by Lee Byung-hun, I must see this' followed by 'actually what they're doing with the plot could be interesting anyway'.

Tomorrowland at least doesn't look to be based on any pre-existing film franchises, so it's got that going for it. And there's a British actor not obviously playing a villain (I don't expect that to last longer than a quarter of the way through the film). And, despite the vaguely Oz-ian scenery, of the three films it's the one I'm most interested to see.

Warning tl;dr on Johnny Storm up-coming

[redfiona99.livejournal.com]

I think my problem was that they tried to make Johnny devil-may-care in all the wrong ways, because yes, he is a risk-taking, jack-the-lad but he's not a huge flirt, and the Evans Storm was. Personally, with the usual YMMV, Quicksilver in Age of Ultron is a lot closer to how I imagine Johnny Storm.

I think it's part of this really odd thing where Hollywood has to make any attractive, unattached male a horn-dog because they think it appeals when it appeals to no-one (see also Reboot Kirk).

Ah that makes sense, yes. Oh I like him! Quicksilver that is.

Ah yes. It very occasionally does to some people I'm sure or they wouldn't keep doing it (I hope). Kirk was also because of the popular perception of TOS Kirk which... is not how Reboot Kirk is, but there is a reason for the perception, even if people get it wrong.
