Movie news round-up: Raccoons, The Rock and LaBeouf in the buff
This week's movie news round-up was written during a bout of punishing heat and humidity, so don't blame me if it's even crappier than usual. Tsk, it's new excuses every week with me, isn't it?

This week's movie poster round-up features one of the best posters for anything ever. I wasn't even sent it by a PR rep - stole it from another site who expressed a similar sentiment, and I don't even care because you really have to see it. Anyway I put it first so as not to waste your time. What are you waiting for? Click! Click!

I'm back! And after three weeks off, I have never felt more out of touch with movie news. Did you guys know they're making a new Bourne movie? Without Matt Damon? Mental.

This is my second week of covering the trailer round-up and already it's provoked an existential crisis in me. Why do we need to see little bits of things before we see the whole thing? Are we, as a people, somehow unfulfilled, incomplete? Should we not be trying to grab whole this vast spiritual cake, rather than settle for the mere crumbs these trailers represent? What's that? It's just advertising? Oh, right.

It is a fallow period for movie news, which is why this week's movie poster round-up may seem a bit more light than usual. It has nothing at all to do needing an early night after tiring my arms out by putting too much water in the kettle.

Remember when everyone was talking about Batman and James Bond? That was cool. Now it's Usain Bolt this and Mo Farah that and Andy fucking Murray everywhere. Subsequently, nothing of interest has happened in the last seven days. I MISS YOU, FILMS.

Filling in for your trailer round-up while you're away counts as the wedding present I forgot to get you, right Matt? Say nothing if you agree.

Before you click into this week's movie poster round-up, please be warned one of them contains a very rude picture of a lady boob, with nipple and everything. So don't click if you're at work. Although if you got here via a google search for, say "how to fix Microsoft Outlook error code 0x800CCC0F", then it's already in your cache and IT have been alerted. So might as well have a peek, eh?

I've just torn myself away from the Olympic mixed-couples table tennis semi-final to bring you this important round-up of the week's movie news. That Dutch couple have quite the backhand return!
