The Wonderful World of Arkhaven

It’s funny how words change their meaning with time.When I was in college, there was a road trip I took with some friends. Because when you are in college, getting drunk where you are at isn’t good enough.  You need to go someplace else to get really hammered.  I suppose it makes sense from the standpoint of “don’t shit in your own yard.”  And drunken college students are given to public displays of every excretory bodily function possible, so it makes sense to...

Star Wars Rumors…I Really Don’t Want to Do This

Oh well, no choice. We've got that stupid fake Star Wars holiday tomorrow.The big rumor is that Gina Carano is in talks to return to the role of Cara Dune. Frankly, I have some fairly major doubts about this one. While it's true that her episode of Running Wild is going to be streamed after all and that Cara Dune action figures are for sale again. Having Gina Carano return to LucasFilm would be a major...

Blogs and Ends: What’s Wrecked Now?

What a fun game Hollyweird has given us with, “What’s Wrecked Now?”  And this time it’s not just limited to Hollyweird, Tokyo is included too.FIRSTBedrockDo you have warm memories of The Flintstones?  You do? Yeah, Hollywood found about them.  They will soon be eternally tainted by the ever upwardly failing Elizabeth Banks. Banks didn’t use to be that much of an SJW.  Or at least she was no worse than any of the other THOTs of Tinsel Town.   But that all seemed to change when her age...

The Final Nail in DC Cinematic Coffin

Walter Hamada was clearly hired in a panic.  He was a producer at Warner’s subsidiary New Line Cinema for ten years.  His track record there wasn’t terrible.  That said it wasn’t exceptional either.  He oversaw a string of horror films in the 2010s.  The Conjuring, Conjuring 2, and Annabelle and the like. As you can see from this list Hamada was basically producing the same film over and over again.  Sort of like the Shannon Tweed films in the 1990s that had names like Indecent (Noun)...

D+1: We’ve Secured the Beachhead

Arktoons had a spectacular launch yesterday.Better than could be hoped for. I, like a lot of you, was already familiar with Arkhaven's titles. However, this format is so much more convenient than pamphlets. I knew roughly what to expect but I hadn't had a chance to really explore it before now. This is a lot more than I ever thought it would be and I was pretty optimistic about it before the launch.Throne of Bones was amazing...

Obligatory Oscar Post

The most boring night on television hit an all-time low of 9 million viewers.  In truth, I’m surprised it was that many.  I suspect it’s mostly very old liberals who are still watching it.  The Joe Bidens still left in America are the Oscars' primary audience.  The 18–49-year-old market has collapsed completely, dropping by 64%.  Which will knee-cap the ad money that ABC can charge for this abortion next year.  BTW they are stuck with the Oscars until 2028. Another win for Disney!While I haven’t watched...

Gina Carano Has Been Politically Rehabilitated

Or at least I assume she has been.The former Star Wars actress and political exile appears to have been restored to favor by Dear Leader Mickey.Her episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls has been fished out of the Memory Hole and will soon be streaming on Disney Plus.Perhaps more significantly, Cara Dune action figures are for sale at Walmart again.Disney is making no official announcements because they are in no position to do so. All of the speculation...

Do Better? We Done That At Arkhaven

Normally, I really couldn't care less about the ComicsGate guys. There is way too many of them that virtue signal to the Left. And EVS is a known backstabber. That said, there are exceptions.I did like Rippa's fairly epic take down of Captain Sammy's rant at the end of Falcon and the Winter Solider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zop4xi7fx10 UPDATE:The Critical Drinker watched the whole thing for me. I deeply appreciate it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e0B_7es0_g

China Gives a Thumbs Down to Shang-Chi

As I predicted, they hate it on general principle.For those not in the know, The Global Times (.cn) is China’s international online daily tabloid.  It is published under the auspices of the People’s Daily which is, shall we say, sensitive to the desires of the Communist Party.This is not to say that it doesn’t have a certain degree of journalistic freedom, (at this point arguably a lot more than is in the US media).  At least you know the monster you are dealing with in the...
