Went to the movie theater last night for the first time in almost a year. I was super excited to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. As the usual stuff is playing before the movie, a trailer for a movie called Red One pops up. I haven’t seen anything about this movie, and I didn’t see the trailer come across any of my socials two months ago when the first trailer came out.
The minute I saw J.K. Simmons doing reps with a barbell counting out 497, 498, 499 … I was sold. Just those few seconds because I love J.K. Simmons and seeing a jacked J.K. Simmons made me want to see whatever the trailer turned out to be. Then I find out J.K. Simmons is playing Santa Clause?! What?! Shut up and take my money!
Throw in the Rock as an over-the-top head of Security and Chris Evans as a bounty hunter teaming up to rescue a kidnapped Santa Clause, and I knew I would have to see this movie when it comes out. It is just the right amount of wackiness that I know I will love it even if it turns out to be a terrible. I don’t care. I will love it. I already know this.
