Fwoosh Happy Hour- Age of Extinction Optimus Prime and New Trailers for Captain America, Spider-Man, and Transformers!

It’s the Big Game day! Me, I’ve been watching it snow and messing online. And sleeping. I only woke up to see my Facebook full of football rants and raves. And between it all new movie trailers. So I’ve been watching those. Man, my kind of Sunday. Lazy with an extra dose of lazy. It’s Happy Hour!

Hasbro sent out pics of Optimus Prime from Transformers: Age of Extinction!

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – February 2, 2014 – In celebration of the TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION Big Game trailer, Hasbro and Amazon have teamed up to offer the first official merchandise inspired by the movie. The “TRANSFORMERS Headquarters Shop” is now live on Amazon.com in the U.S. featuring the first action figure available for purchase from Hasbro’s new TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION action figure line.

Super Bowl means new movie trailers! And this year the nerds rule! First up was Captain America: The Winter Soldier!

I didn’t think I could get more excited for this. But I did. Winter Soldier is just so perfect. When he rips the steering wheel out of the car and just lets it veer off, man, what do you do? Hit the brakes? You can’t steer! And are we going to see Rogers heading up SHIELD? I need to see this right now! Not in March. Now!

Then there is Transformers: Age of Extinction!

I’ll tell you the truth, I haven’t been following news on this at all. I didn’t even know Marky Mark was going to be in it. But then I see Grimlock! Or at least I think it’s Grimlock.

Finally, The Amazing Spider-Man 2!

I love wise-cracking Spidey. And now we get to see Max Dillon before he becomes Electro. It’s not pretty, but it’s interesting. I’m not quite sure why he becomes a bad guy after idolizing Spider-Man. Is it because Spidey forgets his name? Hmm.


A little late, but here’s a look at the MU Falcon from Captain America: The Winter Soldier!

Look at that, an action figure that has a removable/replaceable action feature. Brilliant. I’m loving that the movie makers found a way to bring Falcon into the movie universe. But his wings don’t attach to his arms like that in the movie, do they?


And then there’s this…

I figured, what’s one more video? Hiddleston does a great Evans impression! Thor: The Dark World will be available on Feb. 25th.

Happy Hour’s over!
