That isn't a line, it's a flash mob.Disney is being both craven and stupid at the same time.Stunning, I know.Yes, Splash Mountain needed a refurb. The animatronics were originally built for the old bicentennial show, America Sings and they are completely worn out.But the decision to replace Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox with Tianna and company is a retarded one. Generation X is the last generation with any kind of memory of Song of the South and for...
FIRSTWhy I’m Not Reviewing The Last of Us TV ShowI could end this sub-post with one sentence.“Because I know what happens to Joel.” Honestly, there is more than one reason. I’m not really into zombie TV shows. The movies are okay, but zombie TV shows lean heavily into hopelessness, despair, and nihilism. It’s all doom and gloom for the span of the entire series and nothing is well thought out. Everybody is getting around in cars years after the event even though gasoline has...
From Deadline:"Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will face criminal charges for the October 21, 2021 fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, the Santa Fe District Attorney said this morning.Close to 16 months after Baldwin took the life of Hutchins and wounded the movie’s director Joel Souza with a loaded gun on the set of indie western Rust, New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies today has finally unveiled her decision as to who should be charged and not charged in...
(BUMPED: Jan 19, 2023)There is nothing more dangerous than an unloaded gun.That was driven home to me when I was on weekend duty at battalion HQ and a report came in that one of the married Marines had committed suicide off base. It turned out that he had shot himself in the brain because he had been playing with a pistol that he knew was “unloaded.” As a joke, he had put it to his temple and pulled the trigger. Death by Darwin...
Looks like I was wrong about the reason Chapek was fired.In fairness to me, I wasn’t the only one making guesses about FTX. It was the only information that was openly available at the time. Although, it’s possible that there might have been something related to that exchange crash after all. Regardless, it appears that Iger had been actively plotting Chapek’s downfall from the day he was forced to step down as CEO in February of 2020.I found out he never moved...

On the other hand, he does work for Jon Favereau and there may be some plans that are already being discussed openly about a post-Kennedy Star Wars.The thing you have to remember about Disney is that they will give up nothing. No Disney owned IP will ever be completely abandoned (Song of the...
(On the off chance that being reminded of the existence of Scooby-Doo has you interested in actually watching a modern comedy that is based on affection and not the perverted ramblings of a woman whose hatred of something as innocent as a seventies kid show has lead her to try to poison as many memories of it as she can reach, I dragged up this review from my old blog.)Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. season 1, was a $5 clearance bin find,...
Well, this is some low-hanging fruit. I mean it's so low it’s been sitting on the ground for three weeks.This is not a review proper because I haven’t seen the entire first season and I am absolutely not going to do that. I am out as of now. One episode was all I could manage, and I had to stop frequently. I am quite serious when I say I had to do this one in five-minute chunks. It was that bad.Anybody remember I Am...
It's your fault if you watch this.This is on you, not me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC35cQKHwzg Discuss on Social Galactic
NOT THIS WAYNEVER THIS WAY!!!He’s due to go into the public domain in about eleven years. I should make a few notes now.First, update his job. In 1937 reporters were a very blue-collar job and were fitting for a farm boy who went to a Moo-U. Today, reporters are journalists and are very white-collar. That’s fine for Lois Lane but it undermines Clark Kent’s character, he’s the kind of guy whose favorite food is his Mom grilled cheese sandwiches and his Dad’s chili. He has...
