My post about The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies went up today at Tor.com.

The new-to-me trailers were:

• Tomorrowland (IMDB). I recognize that a tried-and-true version of the portal fantasy is going there to discover that you have political agency here, but the way this phrased things I didn't have any faith that it would get to the second step, and so I was really mad.
• Kingsman: The Secret Service (IMDB). Things I could give zero fucks about: a white boy learning he's ~~special~~ in a school that teaches him to wield his talents for violence and rulebreaking on behalf of the state, with the only black face I noticed as the bad guy.
• San Andreas (IMDB). Nice to see Dwayne Johnson as the lead, but disaster porn isn't my thing.
• Mad Max: Fury Road (IMDB). Well, I suspect it realizes how ridiculous it is?
