Top 5 Discworld Screen Adaptations

"Didactylos shrugged. "The Turtle exists. The world is a flat disc. The sun turns round it once every day, dragging its light behind it. And this will go on happening, whether you believe it is true or not. It is real. I don't know about truth. Truth is a lot more complicated than that. I don't think the Turtle gives a bugger whether it's true or not, to tell you the truth.”  The Turtle in question's name is The Great...

Harmonious Is To Be Demolished

Bob Iger is busy erasing Bob Chapek's legacy from Disney. A number of announcements have been made this week that have been reasonably popular with Disney Parkgoers. The hated overnight parking fees at the resorts have been lifted as of today. Disneyland parkgoers can park hop after 11:00 am, (that will not apply to Disney World). Photopass has been added to Genie Plus (meaning it was in the works for a while anyway but Iger's happy to steal the...

Ezra Miller Staying as Flash?

I wouldn't bet on it.

First, this piece is in Variety, which means that this came from people who are at least producers and could go all the way up to Warner Brothers executives. It...

How Far Will Avatar 2 Go?

Avatar: The Way of Water, while unlikely to break any real box-office records does indeed have legs. It is currently sitting at roughly $1.5 billion, which combines foreign and domestic gross receipts. Granted, the foreign box office is doubling the US domestic take to reach that amount, and studios always get a lower cut of that.

Is This Thing a Thing? – Renfield

Well, the trailer looks good. I can give it that much. Nic Cage is playing the kind of weird that made him king of the 90s arthouse flicks. It is however from Universal and while that is not quite the Mark of the Beast: It is an American studio which is a sensible reason for caution. Who am I kidding? Of course I'm going to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ywx8W-FFw Discuss at Arkhaven Blog

Elizabeth Banks’ Last Chance

Elizabeth Banks' has been on the fail train since she directed Charlie's Angels. Bank's started as an actress in the 00s, and she didn't do badly. She got a lot of film work and if she wasn't quite the lead, she was a name that was recognized by average moviegoers. Or at least the name was familiar. She was clearly "The blonde from that thing. You know who I mean..." She was that kind of famous. Bank's certainly...

And Now Joker is Pregnant

Well that happened. What do I even say to this? Yes, the Joker is pregnangt. He gives birth to a mud monster. Is Joker Clayface's bottom now? The absolute state of DC Comics As stupid as the subject matter is, the artwork is so much worse. Arkhaven isn't even competing with the "Big Two" anymore. We are leaving them so far in the dust, the dust has settled, been plowed, planted and will be harvested shortly. Plans to scrap DC Comics entirely and farm...
