Universal Officially Announces They Will be Eating Disney’s Lunch

This is what Universal is buying with the billions that Bob Iger will be paying them for Hulu, (which he is incidentally shutting down and rolling into Disney+. That's some 4D chess Bob).I realize there are a few pixie dusters out there that have been trained by Mickey the Great and Terrible to snort, "they can announce what they like. It's what gets built that counts."Sorry guys you're going to have to just take a hit of that Special Magic because...

Rangz Season 2 is Really Looking Promising

They've gone into reshoots, when it was already in the can. Apparently, Amazon did audience testing this time.The first season showrunners have been fired without being "fired," they are now Consulting Producers. This has all the hallmarks of a Disney Marvel production. The difference being Amazon can afford to throw away hundreds of millions on a project no one will like.I understand where it's coming from. These people are simply incapable of admitting an error due to the size of the error. If they...

Book Discussion: Monster Hunter Fever

It’s no secret I’m a long-time fan of Larry Correia, if there is anything of his I haven’t read it’s probably a short story in an obscure collection. In all honesty, I am much less familiar with Jason Cordova. I know that he was able to get his first book published by trad-pub on the very first submission, indicating either a high amount of native literary talent or an absurd amount of luck. In either case I can’t judge what...

The Death of Disney Animation (Part 4)

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these but I felt it was time.We have finally reached the end of the story. Disney Animation is indeed and truly dead. I don’t see how it can come back from the thing that killed it.In the first three parts of this series, I took a look at Disney Animations’ beginnings, its rise to lead the world of animation in the fifties, and the fundamental compromises that computer animation inflicted on...

RE:View – Rome (part I)

Almost twenty years ago HBO swung for the fences and knocked it out of the park with not one but the two best series in the history of that network. And surprisingly, they were both period pieces. Deadwood I’ll look at another time… Maybe. Today, we’re talking about Rome.In his book Timeline, Michael Crichton predicted that the biggest selling point in the 21st Century would be authenticity. Time has proven Doctor Crichton right. Rome attempted to deliver that authenticity to the extent...

Alec Baldwin Indicted for Manslaughter

Alec must be pissed he thought this was all taken care of."A grand jury in New Mexico indicted Alec Baldwin on Friday on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, reviving the criminal case against him in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the film “Rust” more than two years ago when a gun he was rehearsing with went off."I'm curious what changed behind the scenes. Back in April of this year, this happened:Santa Fe District Attorney

Mando and Cub Update

The leaks are finally sprinkling out of LucasFilm with regards to Jon Favreau’s “new” project and how it came about.It started with the unwanted Rey movie. The rumor is that it started with Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Shooting was scheduled to begin in April this year and everybody who doesn’t work at Disney was left blinking in shock when they heard that one. LucasFilm is far too dysfunctional and boned up eighty ways from sunrise to meet that deadline. There was simply no...
