Nope. The prospect of increasingly stupid and insane Christmas movies?

I'm here for it.

I am sick and tired of watching the same old roster of Christmas movies I am game for fresh blood and my kids aren't young anymore, the the wackier, the weirder and the more violent the better!

Lets do this!

I remember when I taught the kids about the Krampus (grew up in a German family) and they thought that was nonsense. Oh yeah. Because Santa makes so much sense.

There needs to be balance.

On another note.

Does anyone else find it a little weird that Jenna Ortega is basically just a young Winona Ryder?

I just find it odd that she played 'Young Winona' in Wednesday and is not playing 'Young Winona' in Beetlejuice.

Whats next? Cast her into Stranger Things as Winona's estranged daughter?

Suppose I should note, I didn't actually watch this trailer, but watched the first one that came out for this movie.

Well I'm going to go out on a limb and say the actual plot twist isn't in the trailer. Just pointing you in the direction where you think you know the twist.

I don't know how I feel about this.

On one hand it looks like it could be epically fun. On the other it seems to be wiping it's ass with the original and all things historically accurate, not that the original was historically accurate.

I'm conflicted. It doesn't look like it's going to be terrible, but I'm not entirely sure what its trying to be.

It almost looks like a remake. It all looks so similar with a bigger budget.

Rhinoceroses, well known for their calm temperament, allowing riders to saddle and ride them. Or maybe that's why their ancestors are so cranky? Darn Romans ruin everything.

Looks like Denzel is playing Alonzo from Training Day but in Roman times.

Every time I've heard Gladiator 2 mentioned since forever, I've recoiled in disgust at such an idiotic idea.



But that looks pretty awesome. Denzel and Pedro retroactively Gladiator'd? Hell yea.

Frankly the trailer looked silly. Denzel plays the same damn character in every movie. A Jay-z rap in an ancient Rome action flick? Right. Just seems like a good way of milking money instead of investing in a brand new idea that may or may not pan out. Title it Gladiator and you'll get customers from 25 years ago, paying to see it. Check.

Apparently the whole movie will have a hip hop soundtrack. The more I hear and see I think this is gonna bomb. Denzel’s character looks silly and out of place. It may as well be Training Day 2.
