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

So yeah, there was a porn star in Disney's The Little Mermaid.Dante Ferrari has an apparently extensive catalog in the gay porn industry. 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.

And Another Thing: The LucasFilm “Sale”

Doomcock hasn't stopped beating this dead horse, so I won't either.The biggest argument against the sale of LucasFilm is simply from a business standpoint.As a fan, I would love to see Star Wars get away from Disney.But as a businessman, if someone came to me with a proposal to buy LucasFilm, I'd kick him out of the office.It really isn't worth that much anymore. Star Wars is significantly brand damaged. And LucasFilm is now stuffed with people who HATE...
