Nerd News | Furious 7, Pitch Perfect 2 + Jurassic World Super Bowl trailers

I'm not a huge football fan, but I am a fan of the commercials and trailers that air during the non-football moments of the Super Bowl. These movies are gonna be awesome, y'all.

Fast & Furious 7

I know watching this movie is going to be really hard (R.I.P. Paul Walker), but I AM SO EXCITE. Excuse me while I watch it again. (And again. Aaaaaaaand again.)

Pitch Perfect 2

Whoever decided to air this during a football game and make sure to highlight the football team that is in the movie—a movie that's not really geared toward the same demographic as football fans, to be super stereotypical for a moment—should get a raise. Also: SO EXCITE.

Jurassic World

This must have aired before I turned the game on, because I didn't see it live, but still. Yay for you, Chris Pratt, and yay for the return of one of the best worst ideas in human history. (Best because the movies are super fun, worst because who would ever think—IRL—that this was a good idea?!)

Did I miss any other exciting trailers? Let me know!

P.S.—Damn, Katy Perry. Well done.

For your consideration:

>> I'm stocking up: Some British chocolates will soon no longer be available in the U.S.

>> I can get behind this: Emma Watson has signed on to play Belle in a live-action version of Beauty and the Beast.

>> A dose of inspiration: Authors always know the right thing to say.¹

>> When to use 'em: JPEGs vs. PNGs.²

>> Who names their kid Lord Voldemort?: What it's like to share your name with Harry Potter's villain.³

>> Well, I'll be: Coffee drunk from a white mug tastes more bitter.

>> Hear, hear: The real reason why U.S. adaptations of Brit TV shows are often crap rarely succeed.

>> I'm so doing this next time I stay in a hotel: Requesting Nicholas Cage photos in your hotel room is a thing now.⁴
