REPOST 4/28/2023 For our second anniversary here at Arkhaven, I decided to repost the article I ran the day before we launched two years ago. Yes, the title was slightly hyperbolic but I made my case for it. And we at Arkhaven have a mission to preserve civilization to the extent that we can. Yes, the snooty like to look down their noses at pop culture but I assure you, when thee opera started it was basically a...
Aside from that posterJames Gunn has a major problem to overcome with Guardians of the Galaxy. His characters have fundamental issues inflicted on them by other movies and his actors desires to cut ties with Disney/Marvel.The original Guardians of the Galaxy were a classic five-man band.Leader - Quill, the guy whose story this is.Rival- Gamora, equal of the hero and could be the leader in her own right but will follow Quill out of respect.Tank- Drax, The muscle. Usually...
Tucker Carlson rumorsNormally I wouldn't go with these but at the moment nobody is talking so everything is on the table.As for the motives for his firing, I'm not certain we'll ever know for certain. I think it was a lot of pressure on Fox from both the Deep State and major leftwing VC firms. Black Rock was forced to report that they now had 15.1% ownership of Fox. That is enough for Black Rock to put significant...
The Unknown is at the heart of what makes the Alien frightening. Perhaps the motives can be guessed at from actions taken but can they ever really be understood? The Alien lends itself to mystery by its very nature, and mystery is the gateway to horror. Cosmic Horror not only plays into the natural fear that the alien will generate but creates the concomitant terror of the laws of the universe being useless to protect you becasue you didn’t understand those laws...
The actual news has seriously invaded the pop culture news space today.You all know the news by now. Tucker Carlson is out at Fox and it looks like a firing. Fox has fired the only reason that anyone watches Fox. The rest of the day is going to be spent on speculation as to why he's gone and where he's going. This is honestly good news for me as I'm badly out of it today. I...
Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord. - Fahrenheit 451Arkhaven has moved from simply a successful business venture to an imperative necessity for the preservation of Western civilization. I wish that was just hyperbole. I really do.But it's not.From the Daily Mail:The comic novels have been edited for new editions by Penguin* Random House, as well as trigger warnings added to warn readers of ‘outdated’ themes.In the Wodehouse books, one warning said the prose had...
REPOST: 4/20/23WOW, this post has aged badly! Okay, in case you haven't heard about it, Jada Pinkett-Smith has a documentary on Netflix about African queens. There was one queen that apparently was nowhere near African enough for Jada's taste. The cope from lefty academics has been hilarious. "There have been unresolved questions over her race for centuries." I remember when it started and I am not centuries old no matter what my kids say. It dates...
Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwieshas stepped aside and appointed a pair of special prosecutors — veteran New Mexico attorneys Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis — to take over the high-profile case.“My responsibility to the people of the First Judicial District is greater than any one case, which is why I have chosen to appoint a special prosecutor in the Rust case,” Carmack-Altwies said in a statement today. “Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis will unflinchingly pursue justice in the death of Halyna Hutchins on behalf...
This may be the last season of The Mandalorian. The season finale could certainly function as a series finale as well. Honestly, I hope they call it a day. It certainly can’t come back from this incredibly weak season. And the ratings for the first three episodes can’t justify a renewal for a fourth season given the expense of producing a Star Wars show. There is absolutely no Return of Luke scene this year. At the end of the day if you are a streaming...
