I feel your pain dude Disney's upcoming list of Star Wars and Marvel's curatated, homogenized entertainment products left the Critical Drinker reeeling in horror. He was a broken man at the end of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEA8z2lwBqg Now compare AZ's list with the BS list that The Nerd Crew invented five years ago. Back then most of the projects Red Letter Media predicted hadn't even been announced yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3K44GQwxbA&t=487s
Warner Brothers is too deeply into Ezra Miller’s Flash movie to just shelf it. That appears to be an option that is off the table. The problem is that Ezra Miller has gone from bad boy to public pedophile. If you can’t keep that shit under wraps, Hollywood has no use or respect for you. Not these days anyway. The statement that Miller’s groomee made that was supposed to make her sound like she was simply a young woman with her own agency, following her...
I appear to be one of maybe five people who saw this coming. “This attack was so sudden I have to wonder, did Bob Chapek talk Ron DeSantis into it? I have no doubt whatsoever that Bob Chapek is the one who leaked the Reimagine Tomorrow videos clips to Christopher Ruffo. He wants Reimagine Tomorrow destroyed. Right now, it’s protected by the Board of Directors, but they will be facing a shareholder revolt if this thing trashes Disney’s stock price. What would Chapek get...

You guessed it, I'm busy today. So you get some driveby speed blogging. FIRST Here is the first of the (*long tired sigh*) Disney Predator movies. It's called Predator Prey. The director is a Bad Reboot alumnus. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ7LytagKlc I'll say this, if the story had been about a young Brave and there were no whites in it, then there might have been an interesting concept to found here somewhere. As it is, I guarantee this will be...
Just as a reminder, here is Leia's message to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Does this look like someone with an established relationship? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_Cj3ZS9-A "General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the... Oh, forget all that crap! Ben, it's me. Remember all the times you saved my ass nine years ago? We-l-l-l..." Is Leia going to get a memory wipe at the end of this? Okay, that does mean this entire show was a waste of time (which it is) but that...
“Evil is not an absence of good. It is not a choice...Evil is one of two forces in the cosmos, an agency locked in eternal struggle against its antithesis...Only good and evil exist. And not even a hair's width of space separates them.” - Vecna Netflix kicked open the money spigot on this one. The quality of the production is vastly superior to Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi. The cinematography is motion picture quality and each episode of this half-season is feature-length. The second half...
Take up the White Man’s burden, The savage wars of peace— Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought. — Rudyard Kipling The Missionaries is both a rollicking rip-roaring old-fashioned great white hunter adventure as well as hilariously stinging modern satire. If L. Rider Haggard, James Clavell, and Keith Laumer had decided to collaborate on a book The Missionaries would...
This one is a little different from the usual pop culture stuff I review. The Great War of Archimedes is of all things a drama about the building of the Yamato. I found the film intriguing because it’s an excellent example of the Japanese school of storytelling, following as it does the structure of Kishōtenketsu. The producers clearly spent a big chunk of their period piece money on the first scene. Which was a pretty decent rendering of the destruction of the...
Maybe. That is the rumor that is flying everywhere at the moment but there is no confirmation from Warner Brothers or more importantly a source that I trust. The rumor that Meera will die in childbirth is idiotic. That started as a throwaway idea by the guy who leaked that Heard is out in the first place. Meera's screen time has been reduced to ten minutes. Given the problems that Heard has caused the studio and Zaslav's desire to...
