He’s B-A-A-A-ACK!

Hollywood is shocked and aghast today. The whole business world has been left reeling by the news. Nelson Peltz is launching another bid to get on the Walt Disney Company Board of Directors. Who could have foreseen this? Well, me for one. I predicted this was coming several times this past year. #TheDarkHeraldWasRight Peltz has literally tripled the amount of shares that his Trion Group controls. This makes Nelson Peltz about the fifth biggest stockholder in Disney. Given the price of Disney stock...

RE:View Something Wicked This Way Comes

“First of all, it was October, a rare month for boys.” That fantastic line is the opener for Ray Bradbury’s classic boys' horror story Something Wicked This Way Comes. And it is one of the few parts of the story that Disney got right. There are plenty of critics of this movie whose entire criticism is based on its, admittedly, sub-par interpretation of the story. I sympathize. When I first saw the movie, I hadn’t read the book yet, so my own...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: Ahsoka

I think it’s safe to say that The Star Wars Holiday Special is in no way the worst show in the franchise. I’ll give it credit where it’s due, it felt more like a Galaxy, Far, Far Away than anything I’ve seen since 2017. At least the Holiday Special was a self contained story. Ahsoka is nothing short of an ad for Star Wars The Next Thing. LucasFilm is currently controlled by the Portland Community College Creative Writing faculty. Or it...

The Wreck of the Halcyon

This weekend was the final running of the Disney World’s Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. An attraction that is without question the greatest failure in the entire history of Disney Parks. River Country was possibly a more expensive failure but that waterpark was closed due to mechanical failures not a lack of interest. The cost-benefit analysis of repairing River Country versus building a new waterpark was math that came down hard against Disney’s first swimming hole. Superstar Limousine was a much worse concept...

RE:View – Cast A Deadly Spell

The true gods of Earth existed long before our ancestors crawled mindless upon the shore: Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath, Nyarlathotep... insatiate, tenebrous monsters, whose ultimate throne is Chaos.Greatest of all is he called Cthulhu. Only in ancient, blasphemous manuscripts can that name be found... and those who decipher it are left pale and numb, aware that in the very act of decipherment, they have become both pawn and prey of an ultra-worldly power that renders human existence both tenuous and trite.The Old...
