Today keeps sucking.Actor Ray Stevenson, who starred as Titus Pullo in the HBO series Rome has died at the age of 58.Stevenson was a familiar and chiseled face in genre films and TV shows. He was more of a character actor than a headliner although he did play Frank Castle in the rather underrated Punisher Warzone. He was also one of Thor's viking bros in the Marvel movies. He was recently in RRR as the evil British governor....
Auli'i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in the animated movie has been fired from the live-action remake, for not being Polynesian enough. Nevermind, that she was the headliner in the animated blockbuster version, speaks Hawaiian, did the Polynesian dialog versions. And has a name that requires phonetic spelling if you are to have a prayer of getting it right.She ain't Hawaiian enough, she's half Puerto Rican, so she's out.The reason Moana is getting a remake this fast is that it is...
After a well deserved and truthfully unavoidable break, Lacey Fairchild's hit creation is back.On the off chance you are not familiar with Arktoons perpetually chart topping (and now available in Mandarin) webtoon. Hypergamouse is a slice of life comedy built around the oldest Game in the world. "The first and only comic series about Game and the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy! Because if you can't figure out why you don't have a date and no one is interested in you,...
REPOST: May 18, 2023.FLASH! The Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is now officially the most expensive failure in the history of Disney Parks. The last voyage of the bad ship Halcyon will be on Feb 28, of 2024. THEY ARE SHUTTING IT DOWN. Defying my prediction that they would try retheming it for the more popular Mandalorian before "temporarily closing it for renovations," and then quietly tearing it down a few years later. However, given Mando's...
The Twitter Stans are freaking out over the death of Kamala Khan.Because Twitter Stans are retards. There is simply no way in Hell that current year Ms. Marvel would be allowed to die and stay dead. She has repeatedly been given new comics and they are always canceled. She doesn't even have her own title at the moment but she is still be used all the time. You know damn good and well that a strong Muslim girl...
Babylon 5 is getting a reboot.GET BACK IN HERE!!!Look I understand, that was my reaction too but this time it appears to be greenlit.Arktoons creator Jon Del Arroz covers this one. https://youtu.be/WBOXeOHR_f0 It isn't hard to make a case for Babylon 5 being the most influential science fiction show of the 1990s.Babylon 5 was something unique. It was clearly a product of what had come before it, Star Trek and Star Wars as well as 1980s geekdom in general. The science wasn’t rock hard...
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume III has bucked the trend of every Marvel film since Avengers Endgame and had a respectable second weekend. It was only down 50% from its first weekend as opposed to the more standard 65% of the rest of the MCUs films. Antman 3 did much worse than that, but it was the worst Marvel film of all time.This isn’t a huge surprise despite how many people seemed shocked by this turn of events. While I wasn’t big on...
We come to bury Disney+ not to praise it, which you all knew was never going to happen anyway. Bob Iger has decided to face reality in the most face-saving way possible. By rolling Disney+ into Hulu.Okay, here’s some quick background. A few years ago, a DVD-by-mail service called Netflix decided to start streaming content. This infuriated the studios because the DVD Bubble economy finally popped at about the same time. They equated one as being the cause of the other and it really wasn’t. The...

It's really kind of pathetic, the sorts of arguments you get from the gun control crowd. It's not just that they're fundamentally brainless, it's that they have never once changed.I've been running into the same arguments since I was in college in the 1980s. It's a little hard to pick one of their arguments and say that's the dumbest one but for (dear lord) better than thirty years the most reliably dim is declaring that gun control will...
