In the mood for a good Halloween story? I’ve got one for you. “I am a watchdog. My name is Snuff. I live with my master Jack outside of London now. I like Soho very much at night with its smelly fogs and dark streets. It is silent then and we go for long walks. Jack is under a curse from long ago and must do much of his work at night to keep worse things from happening. I keep watch while...
According to Jennifer Salke the head of Amazon/MGM Studios, it’s not off the menu. That doesn’t mean it’s on the menu either. Salke is now trying to gaslight the public into believing that Amazon was happy with the results of Lord of the Ring: The Rings of Power’s second season. There is no way they could be. The minutes viewed is nowhere near what it was for the first season. They are having to attack the fans which automatically gets them...
James Gunn shared this photo and apparently it's official. Krypto the Superdog is going to be in the movie.Look I freely admit, when possible I put a dog into a story. Sure it's a cheap trick but it works every time.And there is no question, Krypto is absolutely canonical. However, I suspect this is a measure of desperation on James Gunn's part.
There have been bad years in gaming before. 2017 was the year that loot boxes became so obnoxious that Belgium banned them entirely. 1999 was the dessert year of almost no releases. 2011 was the year that free-to-play made more money than games that were paid for, Microtransactions were here to stay, and FPS games hit rock bottom. 1983 saw a crash that lowered gaming revenues by 97%. But 2024 was the year of the Woke Meltdown. The reasons for this...

Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were...

This is the kind of film that Disney simply can’t make anymore. Truthfully, Hollywood can barely put it together at this point and I’m not sure how much longer they can keep doing it.Chris Sanders is the product of Old School Disney. He fell in love with the animated features. Started scribbling pictures all the time. Then got into CalArts at about the same time as Jon Lassetter and Brad Bird.Sadly, he didn’t appear to have made the cut. He...
REPOST: It’s Halloween season so a few things are getting bumped for the next few days.********************Countess Elizabeth Bathory; the infamous Blood Countess. Her story is that of a beautiful woman utterly obsessed with maintaining her beauty, no matter what crimes she committed in the process. Yes, she was even worse than Madonna. She tried just about every beauty aid available when her looks began to fade. Arsenic powders and tinctures laced liberally with gold and mercury were tried and of course, failed.One night, in...
The dominant period piece movie company of the 80s and 90s was Merchant Ivory Productions. Truthfully you can’t really discuss period dramas from that era without bringing them up. What made their style unique was a little difficult to pin down. Something about the color palettes and use of shadows. It created the impression of something kind of if not quite familiar. It turned out their cinematographer Tony Pierce-Roberts openly admitted to basing their cinematography on the films of Jack...
