My heart! Oh, my poor wounded heart! Kotaku Down Under is no more! Won’t someone please think of the children?If I was a better person, I’d be trying to come up with some kind of emotion tangential to empathy. After all, Kotaku wasn’t always this steaming, radioactive pile. When it first launched this was its mascot, which tells you just about everything it used to be. Brian Crecente was brought in a month after Kotaku launched in 2006 and turned it...
At least not by 1970s TV standards.Here is the first appearance of the Justice League on TV. It was in 1979, Wonder Woman was still in production and Lynda Carter wasn't in this. Lynda Carter felt she was too good to appear in this thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUTCePDSYy8 There is no part II. The guy doing this video gave up.Discuss on Social Galactic
WARNING THE FOLLOWING IS GRAPHICI really didn’t want to write this article but it’s clear that the media has been given orders to protect Neil Gaiman.It’s been so long since I first picked up a Sandman comic book that I honestly don’t remember which story I came in on. Preludes and Nocturnes had wrapped, which I remember because I had to buy the graphic novel. In my youth, I tended to think too highly of artists. I honestly, believed that...
Comedy is tragedy plus time and nothing I can say will make this any funnier.It was either this or piece of Neil Gaiman's sex life.Go enjoy the firework with your family and friends, America was never about musical theater.
"Removing his helmet reveals himself to be none other than Sean Connery or an actor of equal but cheaper stature." This joke, made on a golf course is more or less how got Time Bandits got greenlit. The Joke was made to Sean Connery himself, and he liked it. It was the start of trend for him during the eighties. Highlander, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and a few others. Time Bandits is the most inexplicable kids’ film of all time. Possibly...
The year was 1989. Young Idiot College Student Herald was nosing through The Merchant of Venus when he came upon a shrink-wrapped paperback that was at least twenty years old judging from the acid rock cover art. The title was The Best of Stanley G. Weinbaum. I snatched it off the shelf greedily. I had to sacrifice that week's Prizzao fund to buy it. No regrets it's still sitting on my library shelf.In that day and age, luck was...
"WE ARE SORRY BUT WE ARE UNABLE TO CONTINUE OUR ADVENTURE ON TIANA'S..."Tiana’s Biayu Adventure is now officially a black eye for Disney. The beloved Splash Mountain has been reimagined into a ride that is, to put it mildly, “troubled.” It’s breaking down constantly. Emergency evacuations are now a daily occurrence, the animatronics, what few there are, simply do not work reliably. Now the screens are failing.What has gone wrong?Honestly, the reason is pretty simple. The DEI Imagineers have no idea...
I didn't understand a word of this trailer and I was more entertained by those three minutes than I was the entire five hours of the Acolyte I've had to sit through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1-w1kUGuz8 Discuss on Social Galactic
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turnThat Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,So we left them...
In 1990 Universal Studios Orlando opened up. The idea was to use it as a combination of movie studio and theme park attraction. Michael Eisner immediately set about making MGM/Disney Studios in Walt Disney World. Both were a failure. at least as far as the movie studio thing went, it turned out to be a wildly impractical idea, there weren't that many people from Hollywood who were willing to work in Orlando. It's hot enough in LA, why add muggy...
