Wasn't he the one that upstaged whashername (I don't know anything about music, hence my confusion between him and Chris Brown) when she was being awarded a Grammy or something? That was a rather dick move.

Yes, that was Kanye West who interrupted Taylor Swift's 2009 MTV VMA acceptance speech to say that Beyonce had the best video OF ALL TIME.
It sparked the "Imma let you finish" meme.
Heh, yeah, I remember the meme, but not those involved. My music blinders are very similar to my sports blinders.
Eh, I said that mostly to piss off you-know-who.
Like I said, I'll never criticize anyone that dislikes Kanye because he's a jerk, he definitely is one. No one loves Kanye as much as Kanye. But if you can seperate the man from the art, and you appreciate the genre (which some can't, which is again, fine, different tastes) then he does have some really brilliant music.
... how'd this turn into a Kanye thread?
Oh, well, this I can get behind then. At least it's not Steven UniverseEh, I said that mostly to piss off you-know-who.

Because they used a Kanye track in the Assassin's Creed preview which was incomparably dissonant and completely, utterly wrecked any semblance of immersion.
At least it's not dubstep?
Weirdly, even Kanye's "Power", one of the most overused trailer songs of the last decade, would have at least thematically fit. But yeah, the preview looks decidedly uninspiring. Unless they include the last two fails from this installment...:
Given the mad science aspect that they, for some reason, are refusing to drop (seriously, they could just drop that and have it set in the actual period instead of the animus ahh why is Carl Jung haunting me even after college) they could have even gone with stronger.

Well, except for the first lyric where he says "I'm livin' in the 21st century"
Voldemort?Eh, I said that mostly to piss off you-know-who.

This...looks bonkers.
The two reactions I constantly wish we had were "agree" (different from "like" for some things) and "wtf" for many many things.

I kinda understand, but there comes a point I worry where we'll make repying at all obsolete because everybody will just hit a rating
Meantime, a lot of people seem to use brofist to agree.

And ya, it's come to that.. usually.
What the helllllll
By the source...Cerebus syndrome in real life. Starts off looking really silly, but gets WAY darker as it goes along.
I can only assume they'll spend the bulk of the budget on advertising, and at the last minute make something that redefines movie genres for all time.
The second Ghostbusters trailer has dropped.
There's some funny stuff mixed with the lame stuff, but the plot points revealed in this trailer give more credit to that Reddit leak I mentioned weeks ago, which would not be good.
Marketing: This is how you do it right.
It was - as is the voice when you call the 800 number. "Excelsior!"
They never do actually say "mutants" during the commercial. I think the only reason they show someone with vertically-slit pupils in the ad at all is because they (the filmmakers/producers/whatever) are worried your average viewer wouldn't realize that's what they were implying, so while the first two aren't as obvious, they decided to include little miss not-so-subtle in there for the more hard of thinking.

Were mutants not made more public knowledge much sooner in this timeline than those of the past, what with Magneto's grand stadium play at the end of Days of Future Past. I had the same thought about it being odd they are advertising on TV until I remembered that.
