The Purge is a movie series I secretly adore. I love high concept in your face B-movie camp.

The next purge movie is a prequel called "The First Purge". They just released its first poster:

I don't think subtlety and The Purge have ever been bedfellows.

I also love the series and will definitely be watching this.

That'll only leave an hour for posing with cold hard steel expressions at the bad guys they're about to fight (seriously, did you see the SB trailer?). There's probably a way to make Infinity War a good show, but damn, it would need to be counted in seasons, not hours.

Wasn't too interested in that Solo movie until now. There's no way I wasn't going to go see it, but I've had zero investment in the concept.

But the trailer looks like exactly the kind of movies I thought we'd get after the first Star Wars trilogy came out, so I'm now on board. What if it turns out that Lord and Miller created an entertaining but over the top comedy, and then Ron Howard came in and cut off just enough of the rough edges that it plays as a solid adventure with a healthy sense of humor? I'm optimistic, I suppose.

I've gotta say I feel the exact same way. The trailer got me way more interested than I was before.
