Walt Disney And the Legacy of A Big American

UPDATE: The Florida House of Representatives has passed the repeal of Reedy Creek. It now goes to Governor DeSantis who is expected to sign it. Disney stock price has dropped again. Ron DeSantis has called for a special session of the Florida legislature.  There are a few things that are going to be presented at it but the one that everyone is talking about is dissolving all special tax districts created before 1969.  That would cover the Reedy Creek Improvement District, better...

Thor Love and Thunder Has a Trailer

Are you ready for some derivative characters?! If you are watching a Marvel property you better be. Thor Love and Thunder had a teaser trailer drop.  Here it is. Look at it. LOOK AT IT!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgB1wUcmbbw That. Was. Awful. The kindest words I’ve heard about it from Woke Marvel’s biggest fans are, “I don’t hate it.”  I can’t say I do either but there is nothing there I want to watch. The thrust of the story is that Thor is trying to find himself.  Forgive me for stating the obvious...

RE:View – Doppelganger

If you were growing up in the Seventies and had been cursed with a love of science fiction, your battle cry was, ‘you get what you get and you don’t get upset.’  There just wasn’t much to be had for most of that decade. Consequently, what little was available tended to make a strong impression. If you were lucky, you lived someplace where a UHF station would have a dedicated afternoon movie slot. The one in my neck of the woods did.  However, the programming...

Blogs and Ends: Friday Night Roundup

FIRST MoonKnight It took three episodes until the mask dropped completely.  The first episode actually looked good.  The second started to reveal a few cracks in the façade. Then came the third episode and, yep, it’s a Marvel TV show. Chief Creative Officer and Mega-Gamma Boss Kevin Feige is now making his impact truly felt. Marvel Comics for the first time in its history failed to put a graphic novel in the top 750 of Bookscan.  No Hulk, no Captain America, no Ironman, and no freaking Spiderman.  Nothing. This...

The 21st Century of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Part 3)

Thunderbirds didn’t do what the Andersons wanted it to do for them, but it did do what it needed to.  Its consistently high production quality put them on the map.  The right people were willing to return their calls.  And by the right people, I mean the money.  It was time for them to make shows that were built around filming humans. The Andersons’ decided they needed to change the name of their company when they finally achieved their dream of moving into live-action production.  The...

Heroic Archetypes Ascendent Warp

From my first piece in this series. “I have become quite a fan of Alex Macris’ Ascendant Star Spangled Squadron If you aren’t familiar with it, then smash the link above and become familiar with it.   This webtoon is actually doing what up to now, I didn’t anybody would be doing.  Creating new superheroes based on the heroic archetypes I’ve been writing about on this blog.  Before I go any further let me make clear that Alex Marcris never read any of my articles...

Disney Vacations Are Being Canceled

Disney world cancelations are through the roof but the parks are ludicrously crowded.  What is going on? Well, if you ask any of the Woklings they will smile broadly and chant, “GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!” Feign a mike drop and walk off. That isn’t it.  There are several factors at play but most of it isn’t politically motivated. The purple-haired TikTokers don’t have that kind of money and they will melt in the Florida sun. Most of the normal people really mad at Disney over their pro-groomer stance weren’t...
