RE:View: Life Force

At the age of 31 Tobe Hooper delivered one of the greatest horror movies of all time for under $140K. Texas Chainsaw Massacre rewrote the rules of American horror as a genre. There was something intimate to the horror of Chainsaw. It spoke to Baby Boomers and told them the old rural world must be cast aside. That it was degenerate, corrupt, and their parents were right to abandon it. A lot of Chainsaw’s success derived from its anti-rural bigotry that...

Disney’s $60 Billion Scam

Yesterday Josh D'Ammaro, the CEO of Disney Parks and Experiences had an absolutely amazing announcement to make. Over the next decade, Disney is going to be investing $60 BILLION into the parks. The business press got stupidly excited about this one, and the entertainment press was peeing itself in awe and wonder at the daring of Iger the White. Why then did the Disney share price crash? Isn't this the good news investors were hoping to hear?Well,...

Unity Creates the Wrong Kind of Unity

Last week Unity Create announced a plan that may have killed the company. Starting next week developers will be charged $0.20 per downloaded game that uses the Unity Engine. This caused an eruption in the game developer community, the kind that might easily turn out to be an extinction-level event. Darklings: Why the big woof? It’s only $0.20. That amount is so small you can’t find a cent key on most planks these days. Good question and here’s the reason for the...

DC Comics IP Theft and the Nuclear Option

Fables is one of DC/Vertigo Comics longer running titles and is wholly owned by its creator Bill Willingham. Stick a pin in the 'wholly owned' part because we are circling back to it. Willingham is one of those artists whose work you are familiar with even if you never heard of him. He got his start as a staff artist for TSR doing work on Dungeons and Dragons in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His work was fairly well known...

The Crone Princess

I got into an interesting discussion recently. “What kind of princess is the new Snow White supposed to be anyway?” It was the rehash of just how horrible of a person Rachel Zegler is, and the nasty things she had to say about her new character. Here’s the thing, while I have very little doubt that she’s spoiled, narcissistic, and generally speaking five feet of walking malignancy, she didn’t come up with those lines that she bombed herself with at D-23. Those were...
