The Acolyte is Officially in Trouble

Shill to the stars Grace Randolph, the most reliably pro-LucasFilm shill channel with almost but not quite a million subs, has suddenly done an about face and absolutely dragged the latest episode of the Acolyte across broken concrete. She could not dredge up enough bile and vitriol. It went from absolutely amazing to a blitheringly incompetent steaming pile of Star Wars. The Neilson's are out now so there is no hiding this disaster any longer.There is no way in...

Jon Del Arroz Is the Only One Left Still Covering the Neil Gaiman BDSM Scandal

UPDATE: https://twitter.com/jondelarroz/status/1812126790833643776 ****The suppression algorithms have been fired up. Open up a private browsing window and type in Neil Gainman on YouTube. Take a look at the results, you can see for yourself whats happening.Neil was a pioneer in Wokism, he was writing about mentally ill defectives long before they became a protected class. He is revered by the high lords of Clown World for his trailblazing.Gaiman is into the amazingly disgusting stuff. I mean we're talking the Marquis De...

What is Marvel Doing to Captain America this Week?

REPOST: 7/11/24There is zero interest in Falcon America Brave New World. But it does look like Disney/Marvel thinks they have something that won't look like a total joke if they put it in theaters. Since the Marvel brain trust was fired and replaced with DEI quotas there is very little hope for it. Feige has absolutely not gone back to formula that made Marvel a boxoffice juggernaut. He's hoping that a vaguely anti-Trump Woke-lite plot will put him back on...

Shelly Duvall RIP

Noted genre actress Shelly Duvall has passed today at the age of seventy five due to complications resulting from diabetes. One of acting’s little secrets is that it is mostly genetics more than anything else.  What bag of tricks did fate leave in your cradle as an infant? Was it the emotional vampirism so necessary in driving a practitioner of the craft forward? Was it the ability to lift one eyebrow? Was it that indefinable quality called, ‘the magic’? Was it...

Disney Deathwatch (7/10/24)

The AcolyteThere’s a number of things I’d rather do than get caught up on The Acolyte but given the interest around it I have little choice.  It has managed the impressive feat of stirring up the kind of hatred that hasn’t surrounded a Star Wars project since The Last Jedi. While The Rise of Skywalker was certainly hated that was mostly because of its utter cinematic incompetence. As bad as it was, it was an attempt at course correction.  The Last...

The Skydance/Paramount Merger is Back On

#TheDarkHeraldWasRight  As I said, “Redstone is hot to sell and Skydance is hot to buy, so this is now just negotiating.”The walking away from the table was just another negotiating ploy.  Turns out that Shari Redstone was trying to get to the price she wanted, and she appears to have gotten there. Skydance and Paramount have agreed to a merger.  Shari Redstone’s worthless stock will now be turned into something valuable. Namely 8 billion bucks.   At the time of their...

Kotaku Australia Has Folded

My heart!  Oh, my poor wounded heart!  Kotaku Down Under is no more! Won’t someone please think of the children?If I was a better person, I’d be trying to come up with some kind of emotion tangential to empathy. After all, Kotaku wasn’t always this steaming, radioactive pile.  When it first launched this was its mascot, which tells you just about everything it used to be. Brian Crecente was brought in a month after Kotaku launched in 2006 and turned it...

The Star Wars Holiday Special Wasn’t That Bad

At least not by 1970s TV standards.Here is the first appearance of the Justice League on TV. It was in 1979, Wonder Woman was still in production and Lynda Carter wasn't in this. Lynda Carter felt she was too good to appear in this thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUTCePDSYy8 There is no part II. The guy doing this video gave up.Discuss on Social Galactic
