‘Hawkeye’ Bursts Into The Spotlight In First Trailer

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

Clint Barton may not have had a front seat during his appearances in Marvel movies thus far, but the new Disney+ series Hawkeye is all about the eponymous Avenger. Sure, he’s had his own storylines, including the very dark turn he took after Thanos’ snap, but he’s never quite been at the forefront like some of his other teammates.

All that is about to change with the arrival of the first trailer for his new series on Disney+.

The trailer starts out with Clint trying to make up for missed time with his kids by taking a trip with them to New York City. But soon enough things start to go awry when someone else starts showing up around the city wearing his old suit and his past starts to catch up with him.

This other person is not named in the trailer, but if you know anything about the series or Hawkeye from the comics, you know that this is Kate Bishop, the other Hawkeye. What follows looks like a rollicking good time set in New York City during the holidays. The trailer is filled with call outs to Matt Fraction‘s run of comics with the character, including the classic black and purple suit updated for today, Lucky the pizza dog, and mob guys in tracksuits!

Plus, if you caught one the post-credits scene at the end of Black Widow, you know that Yelena Belova (played by Florence Pugh) may be paying a visit!

Here is the official synopsis for the series:

Disney+ and Marvel Studios invite you on an unexpected holiday getaway, unwrapping a brand-new teaser trailer and poster today for “Hawkeye,” a new series set in post-blip New York City. Former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. Possible? Maybe with the help of Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer with dreams of becoming a Super Hero. The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton’s past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit.

Starring Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, “Hawkeye” also features Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d’Arcy James and newcomer Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez. Helmed by Rhys Thomas and directing duo Bert and Bertie, “Hawkeye” debuts exclusively on Disney+ on November 24, 2021.

We still have a little while to wait until Hawkeye premieres, but thankfully not too long! Hawkeye premieres on Disney+ November 24.

[Video] Viewing Videos w/ Vicki – April 19-25

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

It’s safe to say that there are a lot of videos out on the internet. Even aside from streaming television shows and movies, entire websites and apps are built around creating and sharing videos, and we love sharing the ones we enjoy so that others might enjoy them as well. Here are some of the videos (both new and old) I’ve enjoyed watching the past week, and I hope you enjoy them as well!

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance may only have had a single season on Netflix, but the series certainly is beloved by fans of Jim Henson‘s 1982 film. It combined the best of old and new technology to bring the fantasy world to life for fans new and old, as this video showcases.

Last week I shared a VFX reel from Season 2 of The Mandalorian, and this week I have a video of director Jon Favreau going in-depth on how they created that fight with the Krayt dragon and the surprise appearance in the Season 2 finale.

With all the careful planning that goes into planning a city, let alone one the size of Paris, you would think that something like an intersection filled with ‘no entry’ signs would be impossible. Then again, humans are inherently fallible, and this video explains how just that very thing happened.

Earth’s oceans are one of the planet’s biggest mysteries, but are also filled with an immense amount of beauty. This video of a drone operator reacting to a fever (yes, that’s what they’re called) of cownose rays is utterly delightful. The operator’s reaction is entertaining enough, but the beauty and grace of the creatures as they move in formation really is quite a sight to behold.

Many of us know all too well the consequences of a big night out, but even the galaxy’s biggest villains have been know to stay up late partying now and again!

In the past, I’ve shared many roller coaster and loop-the-loop courses people have built in their homes and backyards using Hot Wheels and LEGOs, but those aren’t the only building materials out there. K’nex are eminently suitable for building complicated structures, as this impressive roller coaster shows. The train goes through hills, tunnels, a giant loop, and more. If this were a coaster large enough for people, it would be quite the thrill ride!

Not one to miss a beat, the newest Disney+ series is ready to premiere in just over a week. The Bad Batch follows the misfit group of clones we were introduced to in the final season of The Clone Wars as they try to navigate a rapidly changing galaxy in the wake of the Clone War. One of the best parts for me was the appearance of Fennec Shand, Ming-Na Wen‘s character from The Mandalorian!

What are some of the best videos you’ve seen this week?

Here are some of the videos (both new and old) I’ve enjoyed watching the past week, and I hope you enjoy them as well!

It’s always a special event when a Star Wars fan shares the films with someone they love, especially if that person then goes on to become a fan of the series. However, I don’t think it was exactly love at first sight between this pup and A New Hope. The golden retriever is certainly spooked by the appearance of Darth Vader, and while he goes to hide behind the couch, he still can’t seem to look away!

There’s a reason the phrase “fighting like cats and dogs” is a colloquialism. That makes it even sweeter when you see a cat and dog become such good friends that they become inseparable.

https://nunyabizni.tumblr.com/post/640060530638372864

Just how did the creators of The Mandalorian create all those stunning visuals and effects in the Disney+ series? This reel of some of the visual effects seen in Season 2 shows all the layering and combining of techniques were used to transport us to a galaxy far, far away.

When you think of explosions in television or films, huge balls of fire and flames likely come to mind. It’s interesting to learn, then, that this isn’t at all what they look like in real life. This video show just what it takes to create all of those impressive explosions we’ve come to expect from Hollywood!

It’s always fun to learn that celebrities have their own idols, just like us. Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley is an avowed Matilda fan, and was surprised with a meeting with the star of the film, Mara Wilson. Her reaction is probably what you might think it might be, as many of us might react meeting out favorite actor or actress, and the whole encounter is just utterly delightful!

There is often a simple beauty in nature, and the video below is an excellent example of that. When you combine soap bubbles, a levitating magnet, and a cold winter’s day, the result is simply stunning!

How do cosplayers choose what costumes they do? For some it can be as simple as an outfit they really like, but for others it can be a bit more complicated than that. In this video Adam Savage discusses some of the reasons that drive the cosplay choices he makes.

Robin Williams‘ performance of Genie in Disney’s Aladdin is simply incomparable. The lightning-quick jokes and imitations of pop culture characters that made it into the final film are just a taste of what the legendary comedian did to bring the character to life. This video showcases many of the alternate takes and impressions that didn’t quite make it, but are still hilarious nonetheless!

It’s safe to say that there are a lot of videos out on the internet. Even aside from streaming television shows and movies, entire websites and apps are built around creating and sharing videos, and we love sharing the ones we enjoy so that others might enjoy them as well. Here are some of the videos (both new and old) I’ve enjoyed watching the past week, and I hope you enjoy them as well!

If there is one shining example of reality competition shows, it would be The Great British Bake Off. The show features home bakers that are battling for a top prize, but it never gets overly unpleasant, and they will even occasionally help each other a bit. The show recently held its celebrity edition as a fundraiser for Stand Up To Cancer, featuring stars like Daisy Ridley and James McAvoy. The clip below shows the McAvoy’s turn on the show, obviously having a bit of fun while also doing the best a self-described non-baker can do to impress the judges.

When technology and creativity combine, the results can be pretty delicious, such as the new CandyPlay 3D pen from Polaroid. All you need to do is load the candy cartridge of your choice and draw away! If you don’t know where to start, the kit comes with a few sheets of stencils to help you along.

Fan films have come a long way. While there are still shorts filmed by groups of friends on absolutely no budget, nowadays we also get ones that even attract well-known Hollywood names. Batman: Dying Is Easy is a new Batman fan film from Bat in the Sun that stars such recognizable names as Doug Jones, Michael Madsen, Casper Van Dien, Chris Daughtry, and others. The film sees Batman taking on quite a slew of villains, and is quite a ride!

This past Friday saw the premiere of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+. The series sees Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan reprise their MCU roles to begrudgingly pair up and take on new adversaries that threaten the safety of the world. I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, and am really excited to see where the story goes!

A really fun piece of superhero tech that we saw in Iron Man 2 was Tony Stark suit that fit inside a suitcase. JLaservideo on YouTube finally acquiesced to his followers’ requests to make the expandable suit, making it entirely out of metal and complete with lights, lasers, and fire. It resulted in a lot of firsts for the engineer, and the resulting certainly speaks for itself!

Regardless of your feelings about Wonder Woman 1984, this gag reel of the film certainly shows that while making a movie can be a lot of hard work, there’s always a bit of fun and a few laughs to be had!

Public spaces like museums and aquariums are slowly reopening, and to celebrate that fact, staff at the Monterey Bay Aquarium made a video about some of their favorite creatures!

It’s always fun watching things explode, especially when we’re talking about things like buildings or bridges. Something about the scale of destruction makes it even more enjoyable. Several years ago, WGN in Chicago was waiting to broadcast a bridge implosion… when they cut away to do the weather and missed it, and it has now become a recurring joke for them. Earlier this week, they had another shot at it, and you’ll see what happened below!

[Video] What We Watched: Fun Clips from the Past Week – March 1-7

by Tori Ann
written by Tori Ann

While we’re all staying at home, a lot of us are watching things online. With the plethora of videos available, and more being created every day, it’s an enjoyable way to pass the time and bring a little fun into our lives. Some of these may be brand new, some may be older, but here are a few of the videos I enjoyed this week.

In anticipation of the finale of WandaVision this past week, Jimmy Fallon did his own version of the hot Disney+ series, showing the tv host skipping through the decades, until finally talking with stars Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn Hahn about their series.

Plenty of us have had pizza for breakfast, but have how many of us have had a pizza with cereal on it? Fong’s Pizza in Des Moines, Iowa has recently added the innovative pizza to its permanent menu, and it certainly does sound interesting! Would you be willing to give this a try? (Editor’s note: “Blasphemy.”)

Star Trek: The Next Generation is my favorite Star Trek series for many reasons, and one of the many gems the show gave us was the Riker Maneuver. The unique way star Jonathan Frakes sat down on the series continues to charm fans, so here’s a compilation of just a few times the Enterprise’s first officer sat down in an innovative way.

It’s fair to say that Star Wars has become a pop culture phenomenon in the decades since it first premiered in 1977, but what was it like at that time? The culture of movie-going was very different compared to what it is today, and it absolutely changed the movie industry. This video from Looper examines just how much it changed things, including first-hand accounts from fans and filmmakers alike.

Hawkeye might make it look easy, but archery can be an extremely hard skill to master. Danish archer Lars Andersen recently pulled off what he calls “the world’s most difficult trick shot” and I think you’d be hard-pressed to find one more difficult and impressive than this. He first breaks the shot down into its five elements, then puts them all together in the end!

One of the few joys this past year has brought is seeing animals from zoos and aquariums explore new environments, as their caretakers seek to give them new experiences amid the many shutdowns. One of the latest ones is penguins from the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago visiting the FRIENDS Experience, which gives fans the chance to walk through some of their favorite sets from the iconic sitcom.

https://www.facebook.com/WSBTNews/videos/1142987972817853/

Studio Ghibli is well-known for its incredible animation a storytelling, and this video from HBO Max gives us a calming loop of the studio’s most serene and bucolic scenes.
