The Coming Streaming Collapse

Streaming has become a bubble economy. And bubbles always go pop. The Warner Brother’s Discovery quarterly earnings report was, believe it or not, interesting. In places anyway. The biggest place was reserved for WBD CEO David Zaslav’s little speech where he demolished the entire business model for the 2022 entertainment industry. The Unfallen Darklings who read this blog on the regular know all about my spiel on studios chasing the Twenty Billion Dollar Dragon, so skip the next couple of paragraphs. A few years ago, the...

Ezra Miller Charged with Felony Burglary

The latest legal problem of this deranged pervert is of no importance whatsoever, given that the Attorney General of the United States is trying to set off another Capital Hill riot. Regardless, my beat is comics entertainment so I have to cover this retard. From CNBC: (make no clicky) "As David Zaslav seeks to revamp Warner Bros Discovery's DC cinematic universe, one of the studio's biggest stars continues to make headlines for alleged criminal behavior. Ezra Miller, who portrays Barry Allen, aka the Flash,...

This Is Incredibly Sad

(*sigh*) Okay, this is the Clerks III trailer. look at it. LOOK AT IT!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMspLXUjjBk That. Was. Awful. Randall has a heart attack and makes Clerks. That's the movie. The jokes, if they could be called that, are entirely self-refential. This is fucking tragic. Kevin Smith was once the voice of Generation X fandom. He was the guy with radical attitude who was telling George Lucas his prequel trilogy was complete crap. Now he's a two dollar fan whore pretending the Last Jedi was the...

The Dark Herald Recommends – Luck

Whoopi Goldberg would not have been my first choice to play a leprechaun. Luck felt a lot like old Pixar, it had that much going for it. I could have taken the kids to see it at the theater and not been worried about any mind control experiments being performed upon them by the filmmakers. This was John Lasseter’s first feature-length animated film after his short Blush. Blush felt like golden age Pixar, the magic was somewhere to be found even if it wasn’t...

RE:Animation – Superman (1940)

Welcome to the start of my new series of retrospectives on classic superhero animated productions here at Arkhaven Blog. And I am beginning with the granddaddy of them all. Superman (1941). The animation quality of the 1940s Superman animated serials has never been equaled since. The artwork was an art deco vision whose colors were vivid and vibrant. The character movement was analog live realistic. There was nothing it didn’t get right. And no one has come close to recreating its level of artwork in a...

Ezra Miller – Cult Leader

Running down an Ezra Miller story quite literally gives me a freaking headache because everyone uses his retarded non-binary pronouns. Good trick though, if you are running a cult, which he appeared to be doing in Iceland. When an individual uses "we" as a personal pronoun it invokes a collective identity to everyone around you, especially if you have to be deferential to him. From Indiewire: "In April 2020, Miller rented out parts of Iceland’s Hótel Laugarbakki, where the actor took a young woman...

What About Flashpoint?

The rumor that Batgirl will never see the light of day is now hitting the Hollywood trade media. This is all but an official announcement. The Woklings, who never planned to see it, are stamping their little feet over this decision and calling it racist. But that was to be expected, any kind of loss of ground in the culture war sends them into fits. But the bigger question isn’t the fate of Batgirl, that appears to be sealed, it is what...

Batgirl Movie Killed

It looks like this one is for real. Warner Brother’s $70 Million Batgirl movie would appear to be shitcanned. This thing was already finished. It was awaiting the release of Ezra Miller’s Flash movie to reset the DC timeline and bring Michael Keaton’s Batman into the current DC film universe’s meta, whatever the hell that is at the moment. It was pretty questionable from the get-go unless you were Ann Sarnoff. Batgirl is black but Commissioner Gordon is JK Simmons and Batman was Michael...

The 21st Century of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson- Space 1999 (part 2)

One of the biggest disappointments of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s professional lives had to be the poor reception of Journey to the Far Side of the Sun. It was their only theatrical release, and it was a bomb. Gerry Anderson had put his heart into the project. The script was as good as he could make it. There were plenty of thrills and chills. And while the basic science of a film that was supposed to be hard science fiction didn’t pass the smell test,...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: The Boys Season 2

Or Season 3 for that matter. It is actually worse. I'm incredibly busy at the moment. I have a local election tomorrow in my area and for once this very Red territory’s primary is going to matter. I hope. With luck we will be chucking a lot of cuckservatives off the ticket. Consequently, blogging will be light today and tomorrow. I’m half finished with the second part of my Space 1999 retrospective. I’ll get that up some time this week. Enjoy some best of the...
