Wonder Park is this year’s first big animated film. It’s due to be released on March 15th. The trailer, which dropped today for the Super Bowl, looks cute enough. To be honest, I’d probably be a little bit more excited about it if it was a PIXAR film but, in general, I love animated films so I’ll be seeing this one.
Here’s the trailer!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday here in the States, which means that it’s time for me to watch the commercials while everyone else watches the game. Every year, all of the big upcoming movies drop new trailers during the Super Bowl. It’s kinda like the studios are saying, “Sorry for all the crap we dumped on you in January. Believe it or not, we’ve actually got some movies worth seeing coming out!”
So, let’s get things started tonight by sharing the Us Super Bowl commercial! Us is Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out. Judging from this trailer, it would appear that Us is even more of a straight-up horror film than Get Out was.
Seriously, this trailer is hella creepy! Check it out:
“They’re us.”
Agck!
God may hate football but he loves Tom Brady.
Over the past 20 years, while football has struggled, Tom Brady has thrived. While other quarterbacks have come and gone, Tom Brady probably has the most secure job in the league. Brady is currently the winningest quarterback in NFL history and he doesn’t appear to be anywhere close to retiring. If you’re playing against Tom Brady, you better not let the game get into overtime because Brady will come at you like a machine.
It’s interesting to take a look back at the 2000 NFL Draft and see the quarterbacks who were selected before the Patriots finally picked Tom Brady in the 6th round. Chad Pennington, Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Marc Bulger, and Spergon Wynn were all selected before Brady. Pennington went on to have a successful career but otherwise, they’re a forgettable group of players. Of the group, only Tom Brady would eventually lead his team to multiple Super Bowl appearances and only Brady is still playing in the NFL.
Tom Brady played in his first Super Bowl on February 3rd, 2002, leading the New England Patriots to a 20-17 victory over the favored St. Louis Rams. Later today, Brady will again be facing the Rams. Things are a little different now. For one thing, the St. Louis Rams are now the Los Angeles Rams. For another thing, the Patriots are favored to win this time.
People love to hate on Tom Brady and the Patriots. It’s understandable. Most NFL quarterbacks are lucky if they’re still playing after their 34th birthday. Tom Brady is 41 and still going strong. Ever since Brady took over for Drew Bledsoe, he and the Patriots have played in 8 Super Bowls and they’ve won 5. People love rooting for the underdog and, when it comes to football, that often means rooting against Brady and the Patriots.
But let’s get real. The Rams aren’t going to beat the Patriots. The Rams wouldn’t even be in the Super Bowl if not for a blown pass interference call. Maybe the Saints could have beaten the Patriots but the Rams? I don’t think so.
After losing to the Eagles last year, the Patriots have got something to prove this year. I think they’re going to do just that.
My Super Bowl Prediction:
Patriots — 31
Rams — 17

Maybe he’s responsible for some of the commercials that we’ll be watching tonight!
Well, this is quite the quandary.
Usually, at the end of the Super Bowl, I post my ten favorite Super Bowl commercials. However, this year, most of the commercials were kind of bland. There were a few that were undoubtedly terrible and tasteless. I definitely could have done without the commercial that suggested the best way to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. was to buy a pickup truck. And there were a few commercials that were cute. Fortunately, we didn’t have any of the condescending “super woke’ commercials that we had to deal with last year. But, at the same time, there was a general lack of brilliance this year.
In fact, the majority of my favorite Super Bowl commercials were for movies and TV shows. But I already posted all of those. Posting them again would be … well, kinda of exhausting.
I was tempted to just not post a favorite commercial list this year but … well, if you know me and my tendency toward compulsive behavior, you know not making a list is never an option with me.
So, here are six commercials that I did like.
1. T-Mobile “Evil Babies Planning On Taking Over The World and Killing Everyone In Their Sleep”
I liked this commercial because it was hella creepy.
2. Doritos Blaze “Don’t Fuck With Peter Dinklage”
3. Mountain Dew Ice “Morgan Freeman: The Cold, Hard Truth”
4. Tide “No Exit”
5. Sprint “Ex Machina Part Two”
6. Solo “Oh my God! It’s Donald Glover”
“Oh hell yeah!” I shouted as I watched this.
2018 is going to be a good year.
Burn, baby, burn!
This is actually the second Super Bowl commercial to feature John Krasinski. He’s also the director and (I believe) one of the starts of A Quiet Place.
I’d be lying if I ever said that, while I was watching him on The Office, I ever imagined that John Krasinski would become an action star. However, it appears that he’s managed to do just that.
The Cloverfield Paradox drops on Netflix … TONIGHT! Right after the Super Bowl!
Here’s the commercial:
