(I won’t be able to avoid spoilers in this review but I will try to minimize them)This is the last of the 20th Century Fox Marvel movies and it was… I was about to say it was a sweet send-off but I absolutely cannot apply the term ‘sweet’ to this movie in any context. It is even more raunchy and foul-mouthed than the other two Deadpool movies put together and that’s saying something. This flick is loaded with drug and deviant...
Straight from Comicon. Feige has announced tonight that the Russo Brothers will be directing the next two Avengers movies and that...I can't believe this but the ink has to be dry on the contract. Robert Downey Jr returns to Marvel as Doctor Doom.I know right?"Same Mask, new task," Downey told the audience from the stage.It’s proof, as if any was needed that Kevin Feige absolutely positively does not get Marvel comics.He was always just a Hollywood movie producer. There...
Creature Commandoes showed up in Weird War way back in 1980. It was the team back then consisted of a human commander and the Universal Monsters plus the Gorgon. As you can see they were kill'in Nazzzzeees.They were reintroduced in 2000 and have bounced in and out of canon depending on what direction the latest reboot is doing. Consequently, I don't really care that they don't look like the original team. This is the first appearance...
(Please note the question mark at the end of the title.)Star Wars Skeleton Crew is being poorly received at LucasFilm. The only reason we know that is because this leak is from Shill of Shills John Rocha so it's about as unofficially official as it gets. He would never let something like this out in the wild without permission. If that collegium of dramatic brilliance and taste known as LucasFilm hates this show enough to order that groveling fat-ass...
One of the worst movies I ever saw when I was a kid was a slimy, worm-ridden English horror film called Witchfinder General. I absolutely hated everything about it, it made me feel hollow and cold inside. It also made me angry for reasons I was too young to understand. I’d seen it at night and was left feeling oily the next day. Witchfinder General is the kind of movie that Gamma Males seem to be attracted to because it...
DENIED!!!Unless she settles, this case goes to discovery.Now, I've got to clean the drool off my keyboard.From That Park Place:"In court documents obtained by That Park Place, U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett has denied the request by the Walt Disney Company to dismiss Gina Carano’s lawsuit. with Gina Carano and her lawyers against The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm’s attempt to dismiss her case.According to Judge Garnett “[Disney, Lucasfilm, and Huckleberry] have failed to set forth an “impenetrable...
You know you done screwed up when you have to apologize to an entire country. Ubisoft has issued a non-apology apology to the nation of Japan for a game they have in late development. Not a group, not a subset of otaku, not an ethnic minority. They got on their knees before all of the sons and daughters of Nippon. And then tried to avoid apologizing while having to grovel. My comments are italicized. To our esteemed Japanese community---a message from the...
I’m definitely torn on this one. Scavenger’s Reign is an animated series that was absolutely nowhere on my radar. Not even a blip. I blundered across a TikTok of it while I was looking for something else and decided I needed to check it out.Scavenger’s Reign is a product of the Covid Lockdown. Warner Brothers was well past the point of total commitment on HBOmax when the plague washed over the world like Noah’s Flood. The company needed new series content...
This is an interesting development. Safra Catz has resigned from the Disney Board of Directors. She’s been there for only six years and that’s nowhere near mandatory retirement for a board member. I suppose I should post Disney’s boilerplate statement:“Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement, “Throughout her tenure on Disney’s board of directors, Safra has provided invaluable insight that has helped shape the company’s long-term strategic planning amid a rapidly changing technological landscape that affects our businesses. Her...
Is Gatwa Out? ...as the Doctor, I meanThere was an interesting little article from That Park Place:"A new report claims that The Walt Disney Company is seriously contemplating exiting its business relationship with the BBC and Bad Wolf Studios and leaving Doctor Who following the most recent season that posted the worst viewership numbers in the show’s entire history.""...a source close to the Doctor Who production informed him that Disney will “need to make a decision” on whether it...
