How Much Interest is There in Rings of Power?

Intriguing question. Amazon is claiming they are mopping the floor with everyone thanks to their Tolkien fan fiction. Particularly HBOmax's House of the Dragon. But are they? Well, there is no question of this if you ask the shill media. Variety and Hollywood Reporter were positively crowing over numbers that Amazon released that proved. PROVED mind you that more people saw The Rings of Power than the House of the Dragon. Except they didn't prove anything of the kind. ...

Blogs and Ends: The Return of Dare Devil

FIRST Charlie Cox's Daredevil was the best Marvel series ever.* Sadly it was on Netflix, so three seasons were it. And Netflix always puts a rider on every show they buy that no one can use this property for three years after they cancel it. This usually means that done on Netflix, means done for good. However, Disney was willing to outwait the lockout period to get their properties back. And this is what they did with him. There was a...

Rings of Power Episode 7: Amazon Buys Swampland In Mirkwood

Oh, this is super promising they’ve started this week’s episode by ripping off Lost. The show opens with a close-up of Galadriel opening one eye that is covered in volcanic ash, the camera pulls back as she struggles to her feet. Did you know that Middle Earth volcanic ash is made entirely of Cheeto dust? Because that is what everything on screen looks like. Freaking. Cheeto. Dust. Considering that she was bodychecked with a Pyroclastic flow last week, she’s a lot more active...

Is Clark Kent Going Gay?

Our entire species is going to be extinct after all. Well done Nancyboy. REPOST: Superman: Son of Kal-El has been canceled at issue #18. This is a first for DC. A comic book with "Superman" in the title has been shitcanned. This post was from August of 2021. Where I looked at DC's need for a new Superman. However, the fundamental problem is that that ultimate aspirational American is now in a world where the...

Overwatch 2’s Launch is Legendary

Being acquired by Microserf didn’t solve all of the company’s problems? That’s unpossible! Overwatch 2 has a spectacular and literal failure to launch. Honestly, I was willing to grant first-day hiccoughs. Oh, I was going to make fun of them for it but I knew I wasn’t going to be fair about it either. Because neither Microsoft nor Blizzard deserve fair. But on the second day of Overwatch 2’s relaunch, I had woken up way too early with no hope of getting back to sleep before...

Strange Omission

Hollywood trade rag Variety released a story behind its Variety Intelligence Platform (VIP get it?) paywall. The story was more intriguing for what it doesn’t say than what it does. “Last Hopes for 2022 Box Office,” was the title and there were several items listed that the studios were hoping would be major money makers. Black Adam, Wakanda Forever, and Avatar 2 were all given box office projections. But there was a strange omission from this list. Strange World from Disney Animation Studios which is...

The Cockroaches Just Saw the Bathroom Light Come On

David Zaslav and the Warner Brothers Discovery CFO are being sued by the Collinsville Police Pension Board. The press is all tickled about Zaslav being named in a lawsuit because he has nuked a number of Woke projects as part of a writedown package for the IRS. This is actually a lot more important than it would appear on the face of it. First of all, if you are a pension fund then you are looking for stocks that are low risk but...

The Rings of Power Episode 6: The War of the Retards

“In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Many ages ago, when this ancient planet was not quite so ancient, long before man recorded his history, there was the time of Middle-earth, where men shared his days with elves, dwarves, wizards, goblins, dragons and hobbits. In the lands of Middle-earth, in an area known as the Shire, there was a village named Hobbiton. There, in a hole in the ground, lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole,...
