The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: The Flash

Maybe there is an alternate universe where DC films are getting the respect they deserve. In that world, someone at Warner Brothers had the sense god gave a chicken and made a film series based on the Justice League cartoons of the 00s. In that world, there was a proper build-up for the longest and best-established superheroes in comics, Henry Cavil has had a great run as the Man of Steel, Batman is dark and engaging, Zach Snyder was never involved...

Box Office Aftermath

Welcome to Black Monday, or given the financials involved Red Monday. We have two flops today for the price of one.Pixar’s Elemental pulled in its expected anemic performance of $29.5 million domestic and a much worse $15 million foreign. The total for what is quietly being rumored to be Pixar’s last round-up at less than $45 million for the global take against a budget of $250 million. Normally marketing costs would double the budget but not in this case because advertising money was...

Science Fiction Shows of the 1970s: Future Man!!!

The Future Man was an odd little trope in the TV science fiction of the 1970s.And no, I am not referring to Steve Austin or Buck Rogers. Nor was there any show specifically named Future Man…(*pauses, googling*)… Okay, there was no 1970s show specifically named Future man. What I am referring to is the various highly evolved men that came back from the future to lecture us about not taking care of the Earth or not ending capitalism or permitting bad things to happen...

She Must Have Something on Everyone

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has successfully jumped from the sinking Indiana Jones franchise before it goes underwater or even (technically) hit the iceberg yet. She will continue her rampage through the pop culture which she clearly doesn't like, has never been a part of, and has no interest in beyond the stream of paychecks that get sent her way.Having been instrumental in the destruction of Star Wars, James Bond, and Indiana Jones, Phoebe is moving on to video games.From:

The Disney Calendar Is Now At Year Zero

One of the things that made Walt Disney very different from other producers of his age was his sense of history. Most of Hollywood studios simply couldn’t begin to care less about that. As soon as the film is finished get rid of the props, and hopefully, you can make a dime to two doing it.Walt had a vision of himself as one of the Big Americans, that his name would be remembered with men like Ford and Edison. Whether he...

Disney’s The Little Merman Had A Big Surprise

I say, apparently, becasue I am absolutely taking the internet's word for this without confirming it myself. I'm willing to believe that in this case I can trust Google's all seeing eye. Poor journalistic practice but I am poor journalist, and I like it that way. He seems to have done well in his...

The Absolute State of Bethesda

"Bethesda confirms Starfield's "fully interactive and customizable sex scenes" in bizarre new interview. "We wanted to beat modders to the punch this time," said Todd Howard..."Bethesda was once a rival to Blizzard when that wasn't a bad joke. You certainly paid attention whenever they had an upcoming launch. Sure there would be bugs in the PC port but in the 00s there always were. Back then the PC Master Race was a tertiary market and was treated...
