There Wasn’t A Mask to Drop But Still…

Disney just dropped the mask. Well, there wasn't a mask to drop but even by Mickey the Great and Terrible's basement dwelling standards, this is bad.Pauline follows the eponymous protagonist, an 18-year-old who accidentally becomes pregnant – from a one-night stand. With school stress, the climate crisis and the downfall of society weighing heavily on her mind, something she doesn’t need at all right now is catching feelings, especially not for her one-night stand Lukas. Pauline is penned by Sebastian Colley...

Yeah It’s Gonna Suck: Star Wars X

I warned you! I told you it was in the works. And now it’s official, Ma-Rey Sue Palpatine-Skywalker will be returning in Star Wars X (Currently Untitled).Daisy Ridley will naturally star. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is still signed to direct, her best known work is Ms. Marvel. Damon Lindeloff (for once) showed the brains that God gave a pickle and bailed.Announced at Star Wars Celebration of course. There is also a teaser for Ashoka: Enjoy, or don’t. I couldn’t care less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnzNZ0Mdx4I The Force is now completely female. With the exception...

The Dark Herald Recommends Shin Godzilla

When I was pre-adolescent my sources of income were cruising parking lots for dropped change, returning pop bottles, and occasionally cutting the teeth out of sharks that had drowned in the nets for the creepy guy who made necklaces out of them for tourists. That was more than enough for an eight-pack of Coke and a big bag of Fritos. Come three o'clock on Saturday afternoon and the Godzilla movie would start on UHF, let me tell you, I was SET!!!In...

She’s Everything… He’s just Ken

That was a quote from this season's writers.The Mandalorian just got the Jake Skywalker treatment in his own show. This show is so unwatchable at this point, it really is a struggle to get through. Dave Filoni is the most over-estimated writer in the history of television. He did fine writing kids shows but he simply can't step up and write genuinely mature themes for grownups. Also, he seems to have a waifu thing going with...

Big Bob’s Big Mistake

UPDATE: A criminal investigation has been opened on Disney and the former members of the Reedy Creek Improvement District.Hoo boy!

Skip the italicized part if you're already familiar with it:******In 1957 Walt Disney was brokering the rescue of two Los Angles institutions that were in deep trouble, the Chouinard Art...

Iger’s Annual Investor Meeting is a Dumpster Fire

Wow, this is going to take me some digging to get through.Usually, Disney's annual investor call is a completely stage-managed nothing burger. Basically, it's just a public relations dog and pony show for the Mom and Pop shareholders. This year Disney showed some little film that was made at Disney World. There was a startling number of white people in it, veterans got a nice shout-out, it was that kind of thing and it's always that kind of...

Disney Gives Florida the Finger Again

Disney lives in its own world, but it thinks it’s the whole world. It has handled the disbanding of the Reedy Creek improvement district in the most Disney way possible.By declaring with total conviction that it didn’t happen.On the very last day of the Reedy Creek Improvement District’s existence on Earth, they gave all of their powers to do, planning approval, building code oversight, construction permitting, and well pretty much everything including building a nuclear power plant if they feel like...

RE:View- Blade Runner

Blade Runner is a film I hold in considerable affection and yet it is not a great movie. Some argue not even a good movie, but they're wrong and they're bad, and here's why.It is an extraordinarily influential film.Everyone knows that it has problems. It’s just that it’s hard for anyone to agree on what they are.The trouble is that each of the major cuts is an obvious failure, each in its own special way.For instance; in the original theatrical...
