The Dark Herald Recommends: Lockwood & Co

This one was nowhere on my radar.I just saw an interesting thumbnail on Netflix Trending and decided to give it twenty seconds before surfing on.The opening scene started with tense music setting the tone as a London taxi stopped in front of a private residence. Two teenagers, a boy and a girl get out and are clearly repeating battleplans they have memorized but are going over one last time. They are walking quickly, the camera cuts to a waist-high shot and both...

Paramount’s Body Positive Superheroine

No, I'm not making this up at all.The heifer heroine is called Zephyr. I thought Zepplin might have been more appropriate. This comic book that you have never heard of is called Faith. It's published by Valient and I had go check to make sure they were still in business. Yeah, they are again, at the moment, but it's the usual thing these days of using comic books as a pitch for movie and TV projects.I'm a...

Was All of The Rings of Power AI Generated?

"The orcs’ response was a deafening onslaught of claws, claws, and claws; even Elrond was forced to retreat. “You are in good hands, dwarf,” said Gimli, who had been among the first to charge at the orcs; it took only two words before their opponents were reduced to a blood-soaked quagmire, and the dwarf took his first kill of the night. The battle lasted for hours until two of the largest Orcs attempted to overwhelm Aragorn. When they finally stopped,...

That’s a Dude

You are forbidden to find women atractive. Okay, I admit Nebula really isn't there to be easy on the eyes for guys but Karen Gillan can still manage it even through the makeup.That is NOT Karen Gillan's body. That is a dude's body that her head has been photoshopped on to it.There is a straight line going from the armpit to the knee. For reference here is Karen in Jumanji. Discuss on Social GalacticYou will note that...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: Antman and the Wasp Quantomania

I have rarely seen a genre movie so dripping with contempt for its core audience. Nineteen eighties Mexican sword and sandals videos had more respect for the people that would be seeing it than this flick did. There are no characters, only cut-and-paste caricatures. This is no plot, only a series of ridiculous contrivances. This entire motion picture has been built around appearance for the sake of appearance. It is a Disney Frankenstein. This film is broken. Like its namesake, there is no substance...

More Bad News for Brie Larson

The Marvels had a summer release date of 28 July this year. It just got shoved back to a November 10 launch. It's not quite as bad as the January graveyard but that said, it sure as hell ain't a summer slot either.There were rumors it was testing badly, I think we can now assume they more than rumors.Captain Marvel has been a major and self-awarded headache for Kevin Feige. Feige's ego got in the way of harsh...

Raquel Has Left Us

She was the last of the old-school Hollywood bombshells and the most frequent complaint about her was that she couldn't act.If that was why you were watching Raquel Welch, you were doing life wrong.She arrived in a Life magazine spread called "The End of the Great Girl Drought." This got her a 7-year / 5-picture deal with 20th Century Fox. The studio wanted her to change her name to Debbie, instead, she made Raquel a household name. She...

RUMOR ALERT: Hogwarts Legacy TV Show

Warner Brothers' earnings call is ten days away.Zaslav will be making a number of announcements both good and bad. Because he has to be seen to be doing something.The most important this time is going to be who he is picking to run Wizarding World Productions (or whatever they are calling the Harry Potter Universe).Zaslav needs something more solid than a name, he has to announce a production but if the DCU is anything to go by, he isn't going...

Is Velma Getting A Second Season?

Depends on who you ask. I've been seeing claims that it is getting renewed all day. I just can't find anything that looks like a real confirmation. Just YouTubers and access media reading each other's headlines. The brighter ones are putting a question mark on the statement.I've found no official announcement in Variety, or the Hollywood Reporter, and only a backhanded confirmation in Deadline.Mind you I'm not saying it's not getting a second season.It still might.Warner...

Super Bowl 2023 Movie Trailers

Not all of the trailers. Just four. These are the only ones that I have to see for the Arkhaven Blog, and truthfully only have to see three of them but I'm geuninely interested in the first one. Regardless, the intriguing factor of these trailers for me is the number of views in the first 24 hours. It's not a perfect measure of audience interest to be sure, but it does give you an idea...
