Kentaro Miura, the legendary creator of the manga Berserk passed away today at the age of 54.

Our condolences go out to his family and loved ones.”The Japanese artist was best known for Berserk, which he wrote and drew. It first launched in 1989 and has been running ever...
Upfront, this is a first impressions post, not a Recommends.So far, the show is actually good, and it shouldn’t be.It looks like it's soaked in Woke but they seem to have forgotten to let the Woke destroy the plot.This a gas-lamp fantasy that takes place in a Russia-based fantasy nation called, Ravka. For those of you not familiar with gas-lamp fantasy, basically, it’s steampunk but with magic.Ravka is in a centuries-long war with its neighbors, Fjerdland (Scandinavia) in the North and...
I'm calling this rumor, (which is absolutely rampant at moment) as bullshit. It's from We Got This Covered and they have a terrible track record for rumors that pan out. They are big fangirls of Both Brie and Mara Jade. I got duped by them once when they reported that Karen Gillan was in talks to play Mara Jade a few months back. But as far as I can tell they have no inside track at Lucasfilm....
About once a decade, some star-struck CEO gets huge, Scrooge McDuck dollar signs in his eyes when he sees how much money Hollywood claims it’s making.Despite the fact, their corporation is no conceivable way an entertainment company, the aforementioned CEO picks off a studio. And right on cue, Hollywood proceeds to treat him like a barefoot hayseed who fell off the turnip truck in the middle of Times Square. It’s never pretty and it always ends in tears.In the Sixties, it was Gulf...
And it's the biggest one so far. Ma Bell has had enough of Hollywood's shit, She's out of here. Warner Media is being merged with Discovery Network. Discovery's CEO David Zaslav will be the guy in charge of the new company.This is a spinoff.I'll post something as soon as I have more details.
Everybody keeps asking if Kathleen Kennedy is out, but the fact is, she isn’t the important one. Bob Iger is the one who transformed the middle-class-family-friendly Walt Disney Entertainment Company into the Woke world consuming void monster; Mickey the Great and Terrible. He’s the one that diluted the Disney brand by buying up IPs left and right no matter if they fit with Disney’s traditional image or not. He is the one that has protected senior executives from a well-deserved firing. He is, in...
It's at Bounding Into Comics. Read it there.
CCTV6 China Movie Channel aired release dates for eight of the next ten Marvel Studios’ films, but did NOT include Shang-Chi and Eternals, which are expected to hit theaters following Black Widow on September 3rd and November 5th. Not giving the release date is a reliable indicator that a movie has been banned in China.
The Golden Globes are CANCELLED!Which is to say that while the award ceremony will take place as it has for eighty years, it will not be broadcast by anyone. NBC is stuck with the contract but they have clearly run the numbers and came to the clear and obvious conclusion that the air-time would be too much of a money loser.I don't like Ricky Gervais, I really don't think he's anywhere near as talented as people say he is....
The Walt Disney company has always been a very cult friendly outfit. And by that I do mean always, it started with Walt Disney himself. He wanted Walt Disney entertainment to be more than just a studio. It was his conceit that Disney Films was more like a family than a business. That can work if your company is (a) lead by an Alpha Male and (b) the company gets no larger than 200 people. That number seems to be a rough upward...
