I know that there's probably (maybe) at least one person out there who's devastated that I promised a deeper look into the new Apple OS 26s that got released, but I'm still not... there... yet. I keep running into weirdness that I need to look into further so I know if it's not user error... or it's not a bug from a developer release that's not Apple's intent.

Something which sounds easier than it usually is for whatever reason.

So, hopefully tomorrow I'll be back on track. In the meanwhile? The latest Superman trailer is here. And probably the last pre-release trailer we're getting...

And now for my live-watch reaction...

• I honestly thought we would get a break from full-scale disaster porn after Zack Snyder's crap-fest. Boy am I sad to be wrong. This is James Gunn via Michael Bay, and how depressing is that? Not that I'm here to dig on Michael Bay... I'm just saying that I was really hoping for something different this time out.
• I like that Lex Luthor is truly menacing instead of just being some weird, dopey comic book villain (something I hated about the way Zack Snyder and Jesse Eisenberg made him be in Man of Steel).
• I am dying to see what approach that Gunn took with Ultraman. There's dozens of ways that it could go, and I'm hoping he picked the most interesting direction.
• Once again, Krypto is stealing the trailer. He will likely steal the movie as well. I'm okay with that. Because DANG is he looking like a fun take!
• And... back to disaster porn. Again. =sigh=
• Zack Snyder thought he had cracked the way to make heroes work for the big screen. He made them into gods. But not in a fun or interesting way. Which made it all the more inexplicable when they acted so damn stupid all the time. Gunn gets it. You don't make them gods by their actions. That's boring. You make them gods by the utter casualness that comes from their actions, but add elements that still make them relatable to non-comic-book-fan audiences. It's working very well in this trailer for Gunn.
• The Superman/Ultraman fight has a rough CGI look that's pretty bad. Woof.
• Blergh. I hope we get a very good reason as to why Lois Lane can fly a spaceship. Because this scene is cringe. So very cringe.
• Cannot possibly enunciate how happy I am that not only is Mr. Terrific in this movie... but Gunn very clearly wanted to be sure he comes off as cool as he does in the comic books. Nice.
• There has been more than a little bit of complaining from people as to how... weird... Superman looks with their weird angles as he's flying. I didn't see it before. I am definitely seeing it this time. There's a weird distortion effect applied for some reason. Maybe to show speed? Upsetting.
• Thank GOD the age of dour, depressing, and overly-serious comic book films are (seemingly) on the way out at DC. It has been too long since Superman was portrayed as the beacon of joy and hope that he is supposed to be.

And, as if this new trailer wasn't enough, more Spaceballs too?!?

Reports are saying that not only is Bill Pullman back as Lone Star and Mel Brooks is back as Yogurt, but Rick Moranis is back as Dark Helmet?!?? How sweet is that? The guy obviously realizes how much people love him in that role, and it convinced him to come out of retirement for another run...

Sadly, we know that Barf (John Candy) and Dot Matrix (Joan Rivers) can't make a return... but it's nice that they seem to be doing what they can to get as many actors back as possible.

And then... Bill Pullman's son, Lewis Pullman, is also on board to boot, which is very cool.

I was beginning to think this would never happen. I'm glad it is, because the original was just too dang entertaining to let the franchise lay dormant.
