Book Discussion: Monster Hunter Bloodlines

Larry Correia is the last of his kind.He started his career with an old fashioned vanity press publishing in 2008. Larry had tried the usual route of sending his manuscript to everyone and getting rejected by everyone. So, he decided to go with the court of last resort, self-publication. An accountant by day and a writer by night, Correia had made a name for himself far and wide in the gun-nut community, he contributed to several gun magazines. He had been the owner...

K/S To Be Made Kurtzman Trek Canon?

The OG of the slash fiction, Kirk/Spock gay porn, looks like it may well become a reality. The rumor, and it looks pretty reliable to me, is that Spock is going gay in Strange New Worlds. The unrepentant Kurtzman Trek shill site; Inverse.com posted a "testing the waters" piece declaring that gay Spock is not only workable in future stories but if you really, really think about it, his secret fabulous life has always been canon. Always.If they do...

Pivot to Video is the New Learn to Code

“Pivot to video” has officially been declared Hate Speech.Vice Media is a blog. That is all that it is or ever was. However, it was a pretty sweet gig you could get a job writing for what is, and always has been, just a blog. A six-figure salary plus benefits to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia7fUQXskvA Although, it turns out that Vice has an app that does that and I’m not kidding.But it appears that the gravy train has inevitably run out of coal. Layoffs have begun as...

Wow This Looks Cheap

The trailer for the new season of Picard has dropped…And.It.Looks.Awful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUhBOmtFYr8 I don't watch Kurtzman Trek. A few YouTube masochists do so, but I don't see the point myself.It’s not meant to be entertainment at all. It’s certainly not meant to be a Star Trek and it is absolutely not for Star Trek fans. The purpose of Kurtzman Trek is to raise Alex Kurtzman’s status within The Club and enrich himself personally while providing a content farm for Viacom. Forget storytelling, forget entertainment.Content is all...

Hats Off to the Guys at Bounding Into Comics

I'm impressed by my editor.One of the comics I mentioned on my Arktoons Roundup was Chuck Dixon Presents - Charlie Chan."So how did the Chinese feel about Chan? Well, when actor Werner Oland – who portrayed the Chinese detective across over four dozen films starting in 1926 – visited Shanghai in the 1930s, he got a hero’s welcome from the Chinese.In fact, Chan films were so popular in China that an industry of Shanghai-produced, Charlie Chan knock-off films thrived...

Took Long Enough

The most hated storyline in the history of Marvel Comics has, after twenty years, been erased. I freely admit that when I was a little kid, Gwen Stacy was my comic book crush. It broke the Dark Herald's black little heart when she was killed off, way the hell back in 1973. A few years later I found out about real girls and instantly got over it.But here is the big thing about fictional characters you care...

Friday Night Sights

I'm going to have to process the Batman Webtoon before giving you my take on it.In the meantime enjoy some me time.FIRSTThe Matrix Resurrection Trailer.There hasn't been a Matrix movie since the Wachowski Sisters were the Wachowski Brothers. I liked the first movie. Admittedly, I didn't know how much of its cool look was the result of fairly extreme sexual submissive fetishism and male body dysmorphia. Regardless, I still liked the first one but they kept revisiting the...

It’s Canceled! The Owl House

When you are fighting a guerilla culture war you have to take your Ws where you can find them and in truth, they are going to be kind of small. But nonetheless, when you have a small win it's still a win.This first part is a repost from the old Dark Herald. Labor Day, 2020."A while back I had given a grudging Cataline Recommends to the Disney Channel series, the Owl House. The reason was simple enough, it was,...

Content is the Death of Creativity

I can’t believe I’m looking forward to the return of commercials.So why am I not reviewing Shang Chi? Because I've already seen it. Oh, maybe not with this particular window dressing but I've definitely seen it. So have you. It's a Marvel movie, and at this point, they are all the same.This week there was a stink about the Russo Brothers not returning to Marvel because of the ScarJo lawsuit. Oh, noes! Disney has suddenly stopped honoring its contracts! How can we...
