JJ Abrams came on Jimmy Fallon last night and dropped a bomb about how he got Lin Manuel Miranda to write some music for the new Star Wars movie:

I have been crazy-obsessed with Hamilton going on a month and a half. It's too bad I'm at work because I feel like I need to go lie down a bit.
That is the best news I've heard all day.
(I got my kids into Hamilton once I realized it was available on Prime Music and now every day when I come home they're blaring the soundtrack through the Echo. It's AWESOME.)
So I did see Creed (with javachik, in fact!), and it was quite good, with great performances and strong editing. It felt very contemporary. Stallone was excellent. Big cheer from the crowd when the Rocky theme finally played.
Well, this is every bit as bad as I expected: Batman v. Superman trailer.
When I heard all the casting news, the role I was least concerned about was Jesse Eisenberg as Luthor. Boy, was I wrong.
Also, WTF is Batman doing holding a gun? Not that I didn't expect as much from Snyder.
What the hell is that supposed to be? I wish they'd just call it Powered Dude vs. Irritating Loner, because I have no idea who those characters are supposed to be.
Snyder really loves killing off civilians, doesn't he?
I have less than zero interest in seeing this. I have zero degrees Kelvin interest in it.

I am "NOPE NOPE NOPE. NOPE." Godzilla returning to the sea while flipping off this movie.

I kind of liked what we saw of Luthor in the last trailer, but, like...does he think he's playing the Joker or what.

Okay I didn't notice that the first time because I was too focused on Wonder Woman but WTF.
