We love movie trailers. The movies themselves… Well… Not so much. But the trailers are great. In fact there is a Netflix one where a scientist figures out how to wire people up, to see the afterlife. It works so well that these people can’t wait to get there. So, they don’t. Thus the crux of the movie. People committing suicide in huge numbers. And the star of this movie or who appears to be the star of this movie, we only saw the trailer, so we can’t say for sure, but the star is Robert Redford. And, we think this is absolutely brilliant, as just in case you didn’t know, Robert Redford has gone on to the afterlife. He’s no longer with us. Who better to star in this movie?
Could it be AI? Maybe. Could it be the last movie he made? If so, the timing was perfect.
In Hollyweird they say they don’t like guns but they can’t seem to make too many movies without guns, lots of guns. In some movies the hero goes through a whole bunch of guns and shoots a countless number of bad guys, with the bad guys falling like dominoes. That brings us to the trailer for War Machine. The star is Alan Richardson and he is leading what looks like a whole platoon of Army Rangers. They’re all on some kind of a maneuver, when they run into the War Machine. We’re pretty sure everyone in that platoon gets shot, blown up or just plain squashed, until it’s just Alan Richardson and the War Machine left, mano on mano. Or better put, mano on machino. By this time in a Hollyweird action movie, the guns are usually all gone, so Alan Richardson will find someway to squash or just plain tear apart the War Machine with his bare hands. We can’t wait to see this one.
If anyone has seen War Machine, don’t tell us the ending in the comments section and ruin it for us.
Of course there are love stories and you don’t need guns in a love story but that brings us to another trailer for another movie, Misdirection. A couple decide to rob a billionaire’s home. Unfortunately, the robbery takes longer than Mr. and Mrs. B&E thought it would and the billionaire comes home. Mr. B&E knocks the billionaire out with his gun. Then Mr. B&E handcuffs the billionaire. But when the billionaire comes to, looks at Mrs. B&E he realizes, he knows her. An ex-lover? We only saw the trailer but we know it’s love, betrayal and of course, guns. Like we said you don’t need guns for a love story but a love story with guns, is so much better.
Note to our readers. Don’t worry, we will continue with the War in Iran. We will explain it all, once it’s over. But it’s far from over. It might be the beginning of the end. It is way past the end of the beginning but it’s not the end.*
