When Will It Stop: Why Are All The Nerds On The Internet Hating On The Ant Man Trailer? - A CCD Rant by Mike D

As I sat in my favorite bar n Brooklyn, the Irish Haven, watching Agent Carter with a few of my customers that are nerds like me I began to get excited. As the first hour came to a close (on a pretty great show, cause you know its Marvel...) I was anticipating the premiere of the Ant Man trailer. But then they announced that there was another hour of Agent Carter coming. Wait... what? How did I miss this? It was a 2 hour premiere? Ok... 1 more hour to anticipate the trailer. Hour 2 of Agent Carter was even better, and boy oh boy it was 9:55 Pm and we were finally here. It started... and I was completely breathless for 90 seconds. Trying to take it all in, I didn't want to miss a thing. And as I turned to my friends at the bar, they seemed about as jazzed as I was. I couldn't wait till the next morning when it hit the 'Net and I could get a proper breakdown (like this great one from the Den of Geeks!) of the whole packed trailer screenshot by screenshot. So imagine my surprise when I saw a bunch of my friends (and fellow nerds) on FB bashing the 90 second trailer, and then found a majority of articles doing the same... WHAAAAATTTT??? I can understand why a non comic fan might not be excited, but what did all these (supposed) informed nerds watch to be so mad about? I felt a rant brewing, and after a few days I have to unleash....

All The 'American Horror Story: Coven' Short Teasers In One Post To Fully Freak You Out...

One of the things that I always loved about American Horror Story has been the advertising strategy that they have taken when promoting a new season of the show. They use short, concise and progressively weird clips to build momentum towards the shows premiere. Couple those clips with the weird ass music of the show and the creepy factor gets dialed up to 20... And for season 3, Coven, things are no different. First off, they chose one of the greatest songs ever (House of the Rising Son by The Animals) and re-record in a slow downed fashion with a sultry chick singer. Than they set the story in New Orleans. Then they rally up a varying number of women to be part of said Coven, ranging from series vets like Taissa Farmiga, Jamie Brewer, and Jessica Lange. Then  you add in new cast members like Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts and Gabourey Sidibe to the mix. I mean, can you really have a more talented and diverse cast of ladies on board? To finish off the promotional masterpieces they come up with 30 second shorts that are weirder and weirder than the actual show itself, which is no small feat. The result? We wait in anticipation for the series premiere on October 9th! Check out all the released shorts after the jump and get ready for AHS: Coven.... because its coming whether you like it or not.

Fantastic Teaser Trailer For 'Gravity'

I am pretty much wetting my pants over this one. One Mr George Clooney and one Miss Sandra Bullock, trapped in space after a catastrophic shuttle accident? A high concept indeed but the effects look to be killer. I hope the story lives up to the visuals the show off in this trailer. But I have to admit that I found Sandra's Space Suit breathing annoying in a minute and a half. I can't imagine a whole movie. But George Clooney. I could listen to the sweetness of his voice all day long. Just saying. Check out the trailer after the jump...

The 'Despicable Me 2' Teaser Trailer Has Me Fiending For Banana's & Minions!!!!

Despicable Me was one of the most surprising animated movies I had ever seen. I thought it would be cool, but the film ended up being quite awesome on many different levels. Besides the awesome soundtrack courtesy of Pharrell & the killer performance by Steve Carrell, my favorite part of the movies would have to be The Minions. These little yellow baddies make the film. So it is no surprise that they have been rolled out to compile a teaser trailer. If you haven't seen this yet, you are sure to love this musical number. But if you are like me and have seen it, you will want to watch it again and again!!! Despicable Me 2 is out in 2013.Enjoy it after the break.... and put that party noisemaker down asap!!!!!
