- Happy sixth observed Star Wars day.
- Rian Johnson trilogy.
- Benioff & Weiss trilogy.
- John Favreau TV series.
- Solo Superbowl trailers and posters.
- Solo posters controversy.
So, here's the full trailer.
Linky!!
And here's the...final??? poster.
I keep waiting for one to come out in the Drew Struzan style, but the flick is 1 month away, and the ones for TFA, TLJ and R1 came out two months before the flick.
Plus they usually put the final release date on when when everything's a lock.
And...there's just no hint towards a Struzan style one.
Even the Rogue One buildup ones had the final background with different props standing in for the character faces.
For this one, they just keep re-arranging those same characters and backgrounds with different color filters on every poster, cup, cardboard standee, this really looks like it's the ad campaign they're going with to the death.
Sooo...my gut says this is it.
I don't dislike it, it's actually kinda cool, just...if they're gonna break the old tradition, I'd like to be told openly, instead of being jerked around.
That's all.
Let's put it with its friends like I did with TFA, R1, and TLJ.
But, where it doesn't quite go with the old style posters of the classics and prequels, let's instead match it up with R1 and TLJ, cuz I think that'll go better.
Yeah! That goes good!
I like it!
All right then!
I want them to get a green one in there somewhere.
And, here's the infographic update.
We're 4 down, 2 to go on that damned timeline finally.
Closing in.
Anyhoo, now that TLJ has finished its run, and come to Blu-Ray, and pay-per-view, the Solo stuff should start ramping up more.
I'm jazzed for it.
I dig the trailers, especially this new one.
Hope the flick delivers.
It's Lawrence Kasdan, it's Ron Howard, no matter how it rates against the others, at bare minimum, it'll be a fun time.
It won't suck.
And...that's that.

Damn, that thing's a feast, I've had to pick away at it.
Any particular that's your favorite?
The quote from David Lee Roth calling Eddie Van Halen "a pair of pantyhose stuffed full of cottage cheese" is the one that I remembered--someone on Facebook found it for me. Gene Simmons dissing Eminem, and Steve Adler from Guns n' Roses admitting he'd basically suck dick for beer money, are the other biggest hits in there IMO.
(I had the misfortune of hearing "Van Halen III" recently, which had Gary Cherone from Extreme as the lead singer, and it is a pretty weak album, though probably not as bad as you've heard. It came out 20 years ago. That's what DLR's comment is referring to--some video from around that time. As for the reason for DLR's ire, you may remember the MTV awards disaster in 1996 where the band "reunited" with Roth, and Roth came across as brain-damaged onstage, grinning like an idiot, and then it turned out they hadn't really reunited with him and everybody ended up pointing fingers at everyone else. Not a well-remembered scandal anymore outside of the VH fandom, though.)
Ohhh, yes. I've followed the Van Halen saga since childhood.
Roth is a hard guy to put up with, but dammit, he was their best front man.
The band was never the same without him.
A reunion wouldn't fix it either, that cartoon-wacky hair band thing was a relic of its time, and even within that time, Van Halen was lightning in a bottle.
There was just that little window where they could work.
I still wish a new batch of young silly arrogant coked up idiots could invent another style of music that's as much fun as 80's hair rock was.
I keep crossing my fingers for it.
This week, I was bingeing all of the MCU from Captain America 1 to Thor Ragnarok to get ready for Infinity War.
Worth it.
Not only is it cool to see it all flow together like one big TV show, but there's all kinds of tiny connective tissues on top of the big connective tissue you don't pick up on having to wait years apart for the sequels.
Lines that repeat, vague references that make more sense, props that re-appear, stuff like that.
It was a good binge.
Dunno if I wanna blog about it in a whole post though.
Hmm...nahhh.
Roth - He and EVH were both pretty egotistical people, Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony by contrast kind of ended up being the butt of jokes, someone I know once called Michael Anthony the "quintessential 'along for the ride' guy." Awww mean!! People also liked to accuse them of having the most predictable rhythm section in rock.
I did the entire Van Halen discography over the course of a few months, back in 2017...all the albums I hadn't actually heard. The ones I've owned for years are "Van Halen" (1978) and "1984" (errr, 1984) which I've always adored, and the cult favorite "Fair Warning" (1981) which has "Unchained" on it. But I'd skipped the rest.
The big discography is that I actually don't really care about Sammy Hagar much. I was expecting to hate him, but ended up not caring. Obviously he was generic and inferior to David Lee Roth but I don't actually think he ruined any of their music. He was just generic and didn't bother me very much. Of his albums, I actually think "OU812" (1988) and "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" were okay; "5150," the best seller, was actually pretty mediocre.
The Roth years were not perfect either. The best song I discovered was "D. O. A." off of "Van Halen II" (1979), the fan favorite "Women And Children First" (1980) was not actually much of an album IMO, and "Diver Down" (1982) was a silly comedy album they recorded off the cuff because Warner Bros. made them do another album.
In spite of the fact that they continue to have huge publicity disasters every two or three years or so--most recently their backup tapes screwed up during a show--their reunion album--hah, you didn't even know there was one!!--"A Different Kind Of Truth," from 2012, was actually pretty good. If you haven't heard it, go try "Tattoo" and "Chinatown" and "As Is," those were the best songs. BUT: the whole album was based on unreleased stuff from like 1976 and 1977.
Ever see what the band looked like right when they started? This picture says 1972 but that's probably wrong, they probably didn't actually form until 1974.

"I wish a new batch of kids could invent another style of music that's as much fun as 80s hair rock was" - See, the thing of it is, they keep trying to dredge up 80s nostalgia, but all they come up with is shite like "Rock Of Ages."
And the last time guitar bands tried that, we ended up with....the silly little "neo garage rock" phenomenon that gave us The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Hives and The Vines. And think of all the press magazines like "Rolling Stone" tried to give it...and now it's just a blip on the radar from like 2001 and 2002, only Jack White is still getting any press (and he's a fucking dumbass, just FYI.)
Watch the scraggly remains of the "rock press" try to scrounge up enthusiasm for "new genres." God it's sad.
Bingeing - I binged "Twin Peaks" in full this time--the original series, then FWWM, then season 3, all in quick succession....I think season 3 took a slight hit this time around though episode 8 is still pretty great stuff.
Yeah, Hagar isn't offensive, he's just...meh.
Never even listened to the Sharone stuff.
Re: 80's nostalgia flavored bands.
Nah, I don't mean that stuff, I mean a whole new thing not influenced by anything.
Maybe everything's been done, I dunno.
