Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

Bad Boys for Life Trailer

This looks to be pretty much exactly what the other movies are, which is a good thing. That's what fans of the previous two films want to see, as opposed to something super different.

I'll probably check it out. Even though I've never been amazed by the previous ones, they were fine.

It Chapter Two Review

I'm not a big horror person, as I've mentioned many times in the past, but this story works well because it's more of a coming of age tale disguised as a horror flick, in a way. I enjoyed the 1990 cheesy TV version enough to want to see this remake and liked that, too, so I knew I would see this. Thankfully, it kept up its end of the bargain. I got out of it exactly what I was hoping to get and wasn't underwhelmed.

Awesome casting all around. Each actor really felt like the older version of the kids we had seen a few years back.

Possible Jim Gordons

The rumor mill says there are a few people who have met with Matt Reeves for the part of Commissioner Gordon. Mahershala Ali, Giancarlo Esposito and Jamie Foxx are the group. All three could play the role, but I think Ali has enough on his plate with Blade, Esposito seems a little too villainous for my tastes and Foxx I'm just not feeling as having the ability to tone down his coolness factor. Gordon shouldn't be the cool guy.

Slow News Week

Is it just me, or was nothing really going on this week, again? At least, there wasn't much I felt interested in talking about that I came across, that's for sure.
