Well I'm on the side that's going to be throwing money at Marvel because the first trailer for Captain America: Civil War is out and holy crap it looks awesome!
That was 150 seconds of awesome. There's tons going on this trailer so let's take a closer look.
But we're starting to, because another TV trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens just came out, and this one focuses mainly on Finn played by John Boyega.
This trailer reminded me of some of the themes in The Matrix. So let's take a look at the new footage, and this time there's actually a lot of it.
About a year and a half ago, J.J. Abrams started promoting Star Wars: Force for Change, a charitable initiative in association with UNICEF which supported good health for kids all around the world. Donors had a chance to actually BE in a Star Wars film. The cause raised over $4 million and while this contest is over, a new one has just become fully operational. Donations have opened again and this time, you have a chance to attend the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in either Los Angeles or London, walk the red carpet, and meet the cast!
The news was announced to some of the previous donors by staff at omaze.com, and were joined by a particularly jolly Harrison Ford to deliver the actual news.
Harrison Ford has taken on a very grumpy and crotchety persona the past few years, so it's really nice to see him in a good mood here. And the fan reactions to his surprise appearance are pretty cool too.
The last campaign was solely dedicated to kids. This time, donations will be split up among 15 different charities chosen by the cast of The Force Awakens. For instance, Harrison's charity is fStop Warrior Project, which helps wounded warriors transition back to civilian life through digital photography. And John Boyega's charity is Damilola Taylor Trust, which provides inner city youths an opportunity to live a life free from fear and violence. So head on over to omaze.com, make a donation, and hope for a chance to go to the premiere and meet the cast!

I'm very sad to hear of the passing of Michael C. Gross from terminal cancer. You probably don't recognize the name, but you've definitely seen his work. He was a producer on Ghostbusters and designed the iconic No Ghosts logo. I basically have this all over my apartment.
While he hasn't been in the movie industry for about 20 years, his time in it was very successful. He was also an executive producer on Ghostbusters II and The Real Ghostbusters cartoon. Among his other credits are Twins, Kindergarten Cop, and Dave.
Rest in peace Mr. Gross. Thanks for your contributions to cinematic history. I will forever be proud to wear this symbol.
For another Star Wars: The Force Awakens TV trailer of course!!! You would think I'd be getting tired of these but no. I still look as shocked as Rey does here every time some new footage comes out.
As usual, it's new footage mixed with old so let's take a look at the new scenes.
Well no one really needs another Star Wars trailer, but you always want one. At this point we're heading into dangerous spoiler territory with any new footage that gets released which just fuels more fan rumors, but I'll be damned if I'm not a part of that! ;) Anyway, here's the latest TV spot featuring a few new scenes.
It's new footage intermixed with old, so let's just take a look at the new scenes.
I had only heard about a third Ip Man movie about a month ago, and news that he'd be fighting Mike Tyson was certainly a shocker when the short teaser was released. Now here's the full trailer for Ip Man 3, and it certainly looks like people are lining up to fight him.
The Grandmaster Returns to Hong Kong theaters on December 24th, and according to this trailer, it comes out January 22nd, 2016 possibly in the United States? I certainly hope so.
The LEGO Facebook page just dropped an album full of detailed pictures of the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse. So let's take a closer look at some of them. Above is the cover for the box and here's the back.
I find it funny that despite Conan O'Brien's obvious disdain for games and his general incompetence at them, he still receives early copies of popular releases. The reason? He's just too damn funny playing them. In the latest edition of Clueless Gamer, Conan plays Fallout 4 which comes out today. Conan plays the game like any other game by making fun of it, abusing his partner Aaron Bleyaert, and by trying to have sex with every female character in the game. Plus, those are some form-fitting vault jumpsuits...
Conan even had a Fallout 4 styled opening on his show last night!
And you know what? He really does look like the Vault Boy...
I did not think it was possible to get more excited but an international trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens just dropped with a bunch of new footage! Check it out!
Let's take a closer look at some of the new footage in this trailer.
