I got into an interesting discussion recently. “What kind of princess is the new Snow White supposed to be anyway?” It was the rehash of just how horrible of a person Rachel Zegler is, and the nasty things she had to say about her new character. Here’s the thing, while I have very little doubt that she’s spoiled, narcissistic, and generally speaking five feet of walking malignancy, she didn’t come up with those lines that she bombed herself with at D-23. Those were...

Spectrum/Charter said, look asshole you’re double...

One last thing before I'm off to BasedCon for the weekend.Disney has lost its federal lawsuit against DeSantis and Florida.Disney amended its federal lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to focus solely on its First Amendment claim that the governor politically retaliated against the company. Disney last week had asked to drop its other claims in the case because they are being actively pursued in a separate state-level lawsuit in Florida.One of Disney's lawyers must have had the "Look asshole, it's...
Disney, in a move that shocked everyone but honestly shouldn’t have, decided to begin the purchase process for Hulu earlier than was expected. They will begin the process of buying Hulu on September 30th of this year instead of waiting until January 1st of 2024 which was required by Comcast’s call option. The reason this should have been obvious is that Disney’s fiscal year always starts on October 1st of each year. There is nothing really weird about this, a lot...
Which kind of Zombies are the best kind, slow or fast? Any wordsmith who puts pen to paper on the matter of a tale of the Living Impaired now has to consciously decide which one he’s going to use.* The rise of the zombies** began just about the time Anne Rice ruined vampires for everyone. Since the days of Carmilla and Dracula, the vampire was the primary form of unlife you were meant to fear. The vamps had a good run for...

It’s $5.00 on Steam go buy it. … … You want more of a reason than that? Okay, fair enough. Zortch is the kind of retro-90s FPS that I have serious trouble resisting and generally don’t. Yes, I’ve been repeatedly burned by shovelware but this ain’t that. I’m a little late to the Zortch party myself. I heard plenty of good things about it but I didn’t act on it because I didn’t want to. That is nowhere near the worst mistake of my...
Iger had to know this one was one coming The inevitable shareholder lawsuit. From Forbes: “Disney leadership faces a fresh lawsuit from shareholders accusing management of knowingly deceiving investors about the financial health of its core Disney+ streaming service, as frustrations hit a fever pitch with the stock wobbling near a nine-year low. Beginning in December 2020, Disney’s top executives “repeatedly misled investors” about the extent of Disney+’s losses, according to the complaint filed Wednesday by New Jersey-based Stourbridge Investments, first reported on by...
