WATCH: ‘The Great Gatsby’ Trailer & Photos − There Will Be Brooding, Too

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how the Baz Luhrmann ‘s trailer for The Great Gatsby  contained ample scenes of Leonardo DiCaprio , Tobey Maguire and Jason Clarke screaming . Now, after sifting through more than 50 photos from the movie that Warner Bros. has released into the blogosphere and watching an exclusive trailer that the UK’s Daily Mail has posted, I can also tell you that, amid all the Art Deco opulence and Roaring Twenties hedonism, there will be plenty of brooding, too. There must be a lot to think about.  Check out this romantic (and thoughtful!) trailer first then ponder the photos. One more thing: Conan O’Brien should have Joel Edgerton on his show and do a skit where they both play Tom Buchanan.

‘Pacific Rim’ — Finally! A Trailer That Kicks Some Monster Ass

If you follow this site, you know I’ve expressed quite a bit of skepticism about Guillermo del Toro ‘s upcoming giant-robots-and-monsters movie, Pacific Rim . But that was before I saw this trailer that was unveiled at Wondercon in Las Vegas earlier this month. This clip answers a lot of lot of FAQs about the plot and how the human pilots operate the Jaeger robots in tandem, although it does make me wonder how they ingest that yellow mind-meld fluid so quickly and keep from bugling it right back into their helmets. Better yet, this clip finally torques up the dramatic tension to a level more befitting of a movie this ambitious and big. We get more of the human element, in the form of two Charlies — Hunnam & Day — a relatively civil Idris Elba , Rinko Kikuchi and a pimped-out Ron Perlman . And   The Kaiju (monsters) finally look fierce and fast, and the scene of the Jaeger collapsing on the beach is a nice dramatic touch, as is the one where the Jaeger takes a tanker upside the head of one of the glowing creatures. ” Go Big or Go Extinct ” is also a lovely tag line.

WATCH: ‘Iron Man 3’ − A Closer Look At Shellhead’s Dramatic Air Rescue Sequence

My palms get sweaty just watching this extended clip of what I hear is one of the most riveting sequences in Iron Man 3 . Tony Stark  ( Robert Downey Jr .) has to suit up in a jiff and attempt to save 13 flailing, screaming people who’ve been sucked out of what looks like a crippled Air Force One . (If that’s the case, it will be the first of two times the Presidential airliner gets blowed up this summer season.  The trailer for Roland Emmerich ‘s White House Down shows the plane’s wing being blown off.  But I digress. Although those two unlucky souls who hit the plane’s fuselage on the way out should probably be dead as a result of the impact, Shellhead’s valiant attempt to rescue everyone when Jarvis is telling him he can only handle four sure does make for some effective dramatic tension. How his first save, Heather , can hear Stark above her own (justified) screaming and the wind is beyond me, but I’m suspending disbelief.   The “I’ll electrify your arm and you won’t be able to open your hand” is a nice expository touch, too.  Check it out: We can do this, Heather!

WATCH: ‘Iron Man 3’ Video − The Mandarin Unleashes Red-Eyed ‘Terminator’-Style Army

There’s a new TV spot for Iron Man 3 out, and it drops a few new tantalizing images and hints.  The clip begins with the Mandarin ( Ben Kingsley ) channeling Richard Nixon with some “My fellow Americans” shtick before proclaiming that “my soldiers will destroy your country.” Among the scenes that accompany the Mandarin’s dire voiceover are shots of  those shirtless men in metal harnesses that have been featured in previous trailers, which suggests they’re the army the Mandarin is referencing. Just a few seconds later, though, we get a glimpse of a couple of evil-looking human dudes with red eyeballs who look like they were borrowed from the Terminator franchise.  My guess is the red eyes have something to do with Extremis. The video also includes more footage of the Iron Army and Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr. )  playing smart-ass. At one point, he wields two machine guns Say-Hello-to-My-Little-Friends style . Tony Stark as Scarface’ s Tony Montana?   I like it.  The full clip is below. Watch it and let me know what you think about the Mandarin’s soldiers. Too Terminator ?

Robert Downey Jr Gangnam Style for Korea of the Day

So Robert Downey Jr is at the World Premiere of Iron Man 3 and they Koreans decided to try to relate to him the one way they know how – with Gangnam Style and he went along with it, in what is a weird fucking video, that I think is bridging the gap between the West and Korea, one horrible, internet sensation at a time. Not that North Korea is allowed internet….but maybe a spy will inform them that through dance, it will all be ok. Unless they find the whole thing racist and mocking their culture, which is kinda what I think is happening here.
