Ever feel like the summer blockbusters are all basically the same? Like maybe there’s a single mystical ur-movie and everything else is merely an imperfect iteration of it?
Yeah, me, too…
Yawn. I can’t recall ever feeling so completely apathetic about the approach of the summer movie season. Oh wait… last summer was pretty lame, too, the first time in decades that I consciously chose not to bother with most of the new releases. Looks like that’s probably going to be the pattern this year as well.
I still want to see Iron Man 2, though.
(For anyone who cares, this mash-up trailer features clips from 24 upcoming features. I’m placing a list of them below the fold. If you care…)

I couldn’t standScott Pilgrim. For the millionth time I was disappointed by an adaption of a book//tv series/other that i enjoyed. Don’t waste your money.
