Why is tomorrow Monday? And why is it STILL January? Those are the questions that plague my brain. Let’s hope these trailers and promos for upcoming TV shows and movies will be a good distraction!
Movies
We Have a Ghost
Never thought David Harbour looked less hot, but that’s alright.
Shazam 2: Fury of the Gods
Quite annoyed at Zachary Levi because of his tweets (again), but I always wanted to see more of the kids in their grown up hero alter egos.
Dungeons & Dragons
Hasbro/WotC is trying so hard to paddle back on the whole OGL thing, but they done f*cked up. This movie might just flop because of their greed (mostly Hasbro’s I assume), what a shame.
The Strays
It’s giving Get Out meets Don’t Worry Darling or something like that.
Unexpected
This trailer is all over the place.
TV Shows
Daisy Jones & The Six
I will become absolutely INSUFFERABLE when this show premieres. I already have “Regret Me” on repeat, I’m gonna go nuts. The fact that they’re going to release the full Aurora album is insane in the best way. I CANNOT FREAKING CONTAIN MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT!
The law according to Lidia Poët
Could be fun.
Next in Fashion (Season 2)
I loved Season 1 and had no idea they actually did more. I’ll miss Alexa Chung though.
Succession (Season 4)
I’m so sorry, I’m still on season 1.
Life and Other Disasters 
Thoughts:
1. We Have a Ghost: Looks hysterical. Also, who’s the actress playing the medium? She looks familiar.
2. Shazam 2: Looks like so much fun. I can’t wait!
3. D&D: Possibly going to see this in theaters, but I’m undecided at the moment.
4. Strays: I see what you’re getting at. Those Get Out and Don’t Worry, Darling vibes are strong.

How did you not immediately recognize the icon, the legend – Jennifer Coolidge!?
LikeLike
Because she’s only been prominently featured in two movies I’ve seen, and one of those I had no choice in watching, so I blocked most of it out.
LikeLike
But she’s still an icon and people reference her all the time. Also, you must have lived in a bubble not to have noticed the entire internet talking about her performances in the White Lotus series.

I ignored most of the White Lotus talk, actually. I’m skilled that way.

I do horror now, just not the kind you like haha I’m very particular in mine.

Could you give me a 1-3 sentence description? I’d like to know in case I know of something up your alley.

I have a standing obsession with all Mike Flanagan shows (not the movies, just the shows). I like movies like A Quiet Place, Ready or Not or parts of Last Night in Soho. I do not like gore, torture, cannibalism (despite having listed Fresh as one of my top 10 movies of 2022) or anything true crime related. I am not opposed to watching The Invitation, Nope or the Fear Street movies.
I haven’t read a lot of horror-ish books, but I like ghost stories like Watch Over Me, This Is Not a Ghost Story or The Haunting of Jake Livingston.
In the end, it all comes down to vibes and I will just not watch something if the vibes are off. Vibes cannot be explained. Told you I was particular, didn’t say it made sense.

Yeah, I would need more examples to even come up with a recommendation list. Though I will always recommend Killer Klowns from Outer Space to all non or semi-horror fans.

MORE!? Sir, those were a lot of examples.

Well, I’ve only read one of the books you mentioned. 😂

Also, Jennifer’s Body. A classic.

I’m still kind of excited for the DnD movie but the whole OGL thing is just,,,yeah, let’s just say Hasbro/WotC did not do themselves any favours and just showed they fundamentally misunderstood the point of DnD and the values of the community lol. I still haven’t read Daisy Jones so nothing about that trailer means anything to me and tbh, if I didn’t know the book was very beloved, I wouldn’t care at all because it doesn’t look like my kind of story. But I am intrigued and might actually watch it…after I’ve read the book haha

Hasbro/WotC really only have themselves to blame if the movie bombs at the theater and I say that as someone who is also still looking forward to it to some extent.
As for Daisy Jones and the Six? It’s literally my least favorite TJR novel that I have read and I didn’t enjoy the reading experience all that much? My excitement for the show makes no sense other than me getting Fleetwood Mac-like music and the first brick in the foundation of the rest of the TJR universe books being adapted. I already know Netflix is going to f*ck up Evelyn Hugo, but there’s hope for Malibu Rising and Carrie Soto yet. And yes, they are all connected 😅

I’m so excited for Daisy Jones and The Six! I hadn’t seen that Unexpected trailer and now I can’t decide if I want to watch it or not. It had me in the beginning and then kind of went crazy town.

Totally hear you about Unexpected. I was kind of thinking about watching it because of Anna Camp, but the trailer is just … too much.

That was my thought exactly! I love Anna Camp.
