Red the Pirate of the Caribbean Movie is Dead.

Okay, you might not know what that means.During Peter Rice’s heyday at Disney, all kinds of really and obviously terrible projects got the green light. This was one of them. In the early 00s Eisener got a bug up his ass about making park rides into movies. He had one bomb with Haunted Mansion but more than made up for it with the Pirates of the Caribbean. If you watched any of the behind scenes stuff you could tell pretty quickly that everyone on...

Disney Deathwatch: November 2022

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Many things are going on with Disney and almost all of them are bad. We will start with the biggest news. Black Panther Wakanda Forever had a big opening weekend of $192 million domestic. Maybe. Here’s the problem. There are a lot of reports that once again the box office has been Fortified. If true, then this is another example of Disney’s weird little practice of buying up large numbers of seats on the opening weekend...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

I feel like such a chump.I honestly thought Marvel was going to try for once. I have no idea what this unfounded optimism was based on. Most of the praise for this film was written by shills before it hit the theaters. You can tell. Although, I have seen legitimate good reviews for this movie, and they were entirely from fat Gamma Males. If you are a Fat Gamma Male or are simply a Gamma male who is fat in spirit, this is absolutely the...

Webtoons Cuts Off Its Creators

I noticed there was a ton of screaming coming from the people who publish on Webtoons.com. Okay, there is always a lot of noise from that corner, but this seemed to be genuinely angry for once. It turns out they had good reason.Their payment program just went bye-bye.A notice was sent by Webtoon, notifying its CANVAS Creators that the Creator Rewards Program will end in January 2023. A "tipping system" will replace the program, but the platform did not divulge details as...

Kevin Conroy 1955-2022

Kevin Conroy was thee voice of Batman.Two generations grew up with him voicing the Dark Knight. The film actors have come and gone at random for the last twenty years. But Kevin Conroy was a constant in changing world. Adam West had an early claim to a clownish iteration but he didn't play the role anywhere near as often or carry the part as seriously as Conroy did."This series was clearly a high priority for Warner...

The Dark Recommends: The Wandering Earth

The Wandering Earth is based on a collection of short stories by Hugo-winning (and Puppy-approved) author Liu Cixin.I'll be dropping my Book Discussion of the anthology tomorrow. This review is about the movie of the same name.The premise for the film is big but perhaps a little ridiculous but I can accept it for a couple of reasons. One, you have to start a story somewhere and two, Liu Cixin, has a good track record for taking science...

The Dark Herald Recommends: Mohenjo Daro

Yes, it's another Bollywood movieYou have to be into archaeology to really enjoy this movie.When I loaded this one up I was at first a little disappointed. The grand spectacle of Raj Putana was missing. In fact, everything looked pretty cheap but then I saw almost everyone was using stone tools and they looked pretty authentic. That was when I took a real interest.It took about a minute of internet searching to discover that this production company really sweated the...

The Best Guns for Hipsters

REPOSTED I was way too busy to do any kind of post today. Here is an oldie that has the distinction of being my most ripped-off post of all time. I'm afraid it's starting to show its age but hopefully, it's still good for a laugh.Millennials.As sad as it is, the future is theirs.Okay I will grant (very grudgingly) that a few of them are alright but those tragic few of you, will sadly remain enslaved to the (*gag*) hipster fashions of your...

David Zaslav Wants to Bring Back Harry Potter

And by that, I mean the character of Harry Potter himself, which his fans will love.This includes working with JK Rowling if possible, which his Stans will hate. But let’s keep in mind, Jo Rowling hasn't changed any of her stripes. She is a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist). Don’t forget the Radical Feminist part of that. She is the one that went back and declared Dumbledore gay, despite the fact that this adds a greasy feeling to Harry and Dumbledore’s very close relationship. When...
