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...
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...
Welcome to the Arktoons Spotlight, a regular feature at the Arkhaven Blog. The Spotlight is where I take a look at one title from the amazing world of Arkhaven’s webtoons.If you aren’t familiar with Arktoons, this is meant for you. I am the Dark Herald; I do the blogging here at Arkhaven.com. The blog is mostly pop culture news, reviews and opinion, in short, the usual.And you aren’t here for the blog. You’re here for the webtoons. Arkhaven is different from other webtoon’s publishers. While...
I’ve finally gotten around to reading Jonathon Maberry’s Joe Ledger books and I freely admit to being jealous. He did with Patient Zero what I wanted to do with The Great Divide Game. I’m currently making my way through The Extinction Machine, it turns out that UFOs crash all the time and various governments are trying to make their pieces into some useful bit of super science wizardry. I had reached the point where Bug is talking to Ledger about the probability of...
Way back in high school I got talked into reading Interview With the Vampire. Why? Because I was young and stupid. Yes, it involved a girl, who fortunately never took an interest in me. Possibly, getting me to agree to read it was some form of shit test, and given how her life turned out, I couldn't be happier to have failed the test.Few can agree on why the fetish of two attractive women having sex...
BUMPED for Halloween 10/28/2022When I was a little kid Looney Tunes weren’t all that old-fashioned, they were just a little behind the power curve. Well, maybe some of the really early ones were starting to look out of date. I remember asking my Mom if anvils had been all over the place when she was a kid. She didn’t like the question for reasons I didn’t understand then but certainly do now. But she answered it honestly, “not really, most blacksmiths had already...
#TheDarkHeraldWasRightEarlier today I stated that the third season would be the last one for Henry Cavill on the Witcher.Cavill’s Highlander movie appears to be dead.He was supposed to be shooting it in April. But he came down with Covid. The film’s funding went bye-bye.Now that he is signed as Superman for the next ten years, he’s not going to have time for it. I suspect that the next season of the Witcher is going to be the last. Cavill’s constantly having to...
Happy Saint Crispin's Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-yZNMWFqvM “He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,And rouse him at the name of Crispian.He that shall live this day, and see old age,Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,But he’ll remember with advantagesWhat feats he did that...
FIRSTWhy don’t I have an opinion on the death of Jodie Whitaker’s Doctor Who? I just don’t care.That’s it. That’s the deal. I don’t care. I don’t give a shit. Tolkien, I care about. I just wrote a multi-week 20,000+ word rant dedicated to my hatred of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. But the end of the worst era in the 60-year history of Doctor Who happened last night and YouTube had to tell me about it. I had promised myself I...
I trudged rather than walked into the theater to see this one. I had, with childlike innocence taken the critics at their word. Intellectually I know I can trust an angry cobra more than the opinion of the 21st-century film critic. Thus, my determination to approach this film with an open mind but I could hardly ignore the track record of every Marvel movie since 2017, to say nothing of every DC film since The Dark Knight Rises.My low expectations weren’t unreasonable.So, I...
