Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?
This week, we spend some time with grandma, figure out the meaning of life, feel like someone is watching us, run away from it all, and then try to follow our dreams.

Familiae Romanae: Roman Houses
With the impending release of Total War: Rome Remastered, we thought it might be topical to highlight a mod that lets you capture some of that nostalgia in Rome 2. The Roman Houses mod splits up the Rome faction into four smaller factions, just like in the original Rome: Total War.
With this mod, you can choose to play as either the Julii, the Brutii, the Scipii, or the SPQR itself. At the moment it seems to be more cosmetic than anything else – there’s no replication of the SPQR mission mechanics, for example, and the inevitable civil war from the original game is far less engineered. There’s a variant of this mod that keeps all Roman factions bar the SPQR coloured red, if you like, and there are also versions that let you adjust how many turns it takes to mark progress through a year.
