Blogs and Ends: Babylon 5 Lives?

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...

Chris Pratt Remains Bulletproof

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...

Disney+ 2019 – 2024

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...

Arkhaven Spotlight: Hammer of Freedom 2

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...

Why Do Companies Go Woke?

The funniest part was watching him try to drink it without barfing The answer is simple enough, there is money in it for them.  But how they get that money is more complicated, and so is the reason they need it. Let’s say you are the CEO of HugeCo Consolidated, a Fortune 500 company.  HugeCo is worth $5 billion.  Which might seem like a lot of money but that is only because it is.  But here’s the thing, that number is kind of made up bullshit.  HugeCo...

Disney May ’23 Earnings Call

Iger poured more gas on the fire at the Earnings Call yesterday. He again, strongly indicated that Disney and Reedy Creek were the same entity. He then said, "does Florida want Disney's tax money or not?" Bitch, please! The retard media maybe stupid enough to believe you can just packup Disney World and move it but no one else is that dumb. It would take you decades to rebuild, using billions you can't afford to spend. You can't sell the property you have now except...

The Oversight Board Sues Disney

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (formerly Reedy Creek) has filed its own suit against the Walt Disney Company and it has done so in a Florida district court. Disney’s lawsuit “against Ron DeSantis” is a clown show for media retards. There is a very real chance it will get thrown out, the judge will have to be batting heavily for Disney in order for it to get off the ground.  Keep in mind, I’m not dismissing this possibility, you only have...

STOP IT!!!

What is it with the new generation of military analyst weirdos and anime girls? STOP SEXUALLY FETISHIZING WEAPONS PLATFORMS!!! It's unhealthy and it's wrong to want to bang the Bismarck. Everything in this video is largely historically accurate but the anime girl thing has to STOP! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f7u2kPa3Bg In the video, the narrator discusses the decision that was made for Bismarck to continue its mission after the Battle of the Denmark Straits. He admits that from a strategic standpoint, Admiral Lütjens was right. I disagree,...

And Elon Musk Wins the Bidding War

https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1656037032538390530 Tucker Carlson has begun legal action against Fox. He is claiming that they have violated his contract and that he is no longer under his non-compete clause. I suspect Twitter gives him some wiggle room because technically, he isn't working for a broadcasting company. And he already had the right to put whatever he wanted on his social media accounts. UPDATE: https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1656052691427000320 If true that's pretty big. Dominion is largely owned by Blackrock. Blackrock also controls 15.1% of Fox,...
