RE:View – The Last American Virgin

Don't be fooled by this posterThe Seventies were horrible in every way imaginable. From the musical incompetence of Wall of Sound to the solipsistic non-philosophy of Easy Rider, to your older sister’s boyfriend’s creepy-ass custom van with the shag carpeting that smelled…funny. There was nothing that wasn’t vomitable. Even the clothing and food were wrong. Polyester ravaged the land for an entire decade, (Hell, your Dad’s leisure suit was packed with the stuff). As for the kitchen it was ruled...

WEBToons In Trouble with Creators… Again

I’ll have to start this post with the disclaimer that Arktoons is a competitor of WEBToons.com. My wife just finished with her newest K-drama, Marry My Husband. The plot is that all men are garbage unless they are handsome and rich, however, the important part is that this very popular TV show started life on WEBToons. It’s far from the only one out there. There are now better than 20 of the things out in the wild and that number...

Cheap Thrills: Lethal Company

Lethal Company is a lot of game for ten bucks. You may have heard of it. I had not. I just picked it up as a part of a Steam Sale. Lethal Company's "plot" Is that you are working for a deep space salvage company, called "The Company." You go to various moons to find salvage and bring it aboard your ship... Without being eaten. That's important because being eaten is a significant limiter on your ability to meet quota. But don't worry...

Bob Iger Claims We Don’t Know What Woke Means

From Vanity Fair:“The term woke is thrown around rather liberally,” Iger said. “I think a lot of people don’t really understand what it means.”I do, Bob! I do!Shall I tell you what it means? Given that you’ve a got a rich Boomers grasp of the social issues surrounding it, you probably do need some help. It seems like the least I could do after all the low hanging fruit you’ve fed me for years. Now to be clear, I do realize...

RE:View Star Trek The Motion Picture

One of my earliest memories is the landing of Apollo 11. My parents woke me up for it and dragged me downstairs so that I could wobble bleary-eyed on my father’s lap as Eagle came down to rest at Tranquility Base. I couldn’t make out what Armstrong said. The interference was bad that morning. But even at that age, I knew that I had just watched something that was supposed to be important. Because everyone kept telling me it was. Apollo 11 was...

Helldivers II Tips

It's Friday night, the day is almost gone and I'm only now just getting a chance to write a post.This is going to be a fast one.I. If you need to take dive hit yourself with a stim first. It takes a few seconds to complete its cycle and that will usually negate fall damage. II. Some planets have those Pod Things That Go Boom. They will, depending on circumstances the loyal Sons of Super Earth are familiar with by now,...

Skydance is Likely to Buy Paramount

I was too steamed over yesterday's news to notice that #TheDarkHeraldWasRight again.As I had guessed, Shari Redstone was just using David Zaslav to get David Ellison to see things her way. Skydance has entered into exclusive talks with Paramount with a view towards a merger. This is by no means a guarantee but Redstone is hot to sell and Skydance is hot to buy, so this is now just negotiating. Warner Brothers was never a serious contender, even though Zaslav is...

Clown World Keeps Hold of Disney

At about 9:00 AM Eastern someone at Disney broke the law.A leak from a source that was clearly viewed as reliable by the business press, claimed that Disney had enough votes to hold off giving Nelson Peltz a seat on the Walt Disney Company board of directors. The only reason to do this was to support the Iger slate. This is a felony offense.The SEC has always come down very hard on leaks like this in the past but I...

The Dark Herald Recommends – Godzilla X Kong: New Empire

I’ll begin with the obvious, this film is no Godzilla Minus One. It’s not even close to that good but you knew that just looking at the trailers. However, this is a completely different kind of movie that’s meant for a different audience. If you watched Porky’s and were expecting Saving Private Ryan, that screw-up is all on you. Same thing applies here. If you went to an American Godzilla movie and expected something from Toho, you should have managed...

RE:View – The Last Jedi

You would have to be Glob’s perfect retard to not recognize that this is easily the greatest Star Wars movie of all time. There is literally nothing that this film got wrong. I am left near to weeping just thinking about the perfection that is Ryan Johnson’s magnum opus. The closest thing to a problem is the opening score. John Williams's bombastic and overbearing Star Wars Main Title. This ridiculously overblown tone poem of a score has been assaulting the ears...
