Is Daily Wire Collapsing? Is Brett Cooper Being Fired?

Those are good clickbait questions. But I am starting to wonder.Brett Cooper the star of Daily Wire's Comments Section with Brett Cooper as well as Daily Wire's upcoming Pendragon Cycle and Snow White is rumored to have landed in hot water with her boss Jeremy Boering and will not have her contract renewed.Yesterday I picked up on this one over on X.com. And I immediately dismissed it. Especially after Nick Fuentes claimed she was being fired for...

RE:View Forbidden Planet

UPDATE: 12/4/24 Earl Holliman, long standing Hollywood character actor and last remaining star of the 1956 sci-fi classic has passed away. In Cookie's honor I have bumped up this post.Forbidden Planet is arguably the most influential space opera of the 20th century. Yes, I’m including 2001, Star Wars, and Alien in that statement. The reason is simple it was genesis. There were elements of all three of those films in Forbidden Planet. Sure, there were space opera movies before Forbidden Planet. But most...

Hiding the Car the Was Understandable

Jag-you-are's newest concept model has been leaked.No wonder they didn't show it on their commercial.This is the final result of a company that has gone into the DEI deep end. This is as creative as Jaguar can get."Copy nothing". Wasn't that what was on their horrifying commercial? This thing is nothing but copies and they are bad copies.The front end they copied from Rolls Royce. The front quarter they copied from Lexus. The rear quarter they copied from...

The Dark Herald Recommends Moana 2

Moana 2, AKA Viana, 2 AKA Oceana 2 (depending on the market) was a crash project born from the ashes of last year’s disastrous animated film, Wish. That movie was the end product of Bob Iger’s disastrous DEI initiatives. Wish was to be the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary film and it seemed to show just how far the company had fallen in a century. This was Jennifer Lee’s big project. Here’s a quick refresher about her.It was about...

Why Batman Really Needs the Batcave

No, it's not just a place for him to keep his stuff. Batman is profoundly, psychologically dependent on the Batcave. It's complicated but so is Bruce Wayne.Have you ever gotten the feeling that when Bruce is alone in the cave and then Alfred or (whichever) Robin walks in, it's rather an intrusion isn't it? He never kicks them out but they don't belong there. Not in the way that he does. There's a reason for that.At first there was just...

RE:Play Redneck Rampage

Having covered all of the old Sierra games or at least all of the old Sierra games I gave a crap about, I decided to move on to the nineties proper. That means Doom clones and that means games built with the legendary Build engine.I'm not going into the history of the build engine here because I know it's ashamed to associated with this game.Instead of starting with one of the really great games like; Blood, Shadow Warrior, or Duke 3D. I...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend Gladiator II

“Jug-Jugurtha!” I blurted out laughing. It annoyed the people around me, which also made me laugh. If you don’t know anything about Roman history, making Jugurtha a Roman enemy during the (rather brief) Severan dynasty is comparable to having Generals Lee and Grant put aside their differences and team up against their common enemy, Henry VIII. It’s that stupid. Ridley Scott needed a black king and liked how the name sounded. You can tell that was the creative process.I suppose...

Disney Deathwatch: The Thanksgiving Edition

Captain America 4 is already DOAHere’s a shock, the latest round of test screenings went badly so they are going back, yet again, into reshoots. I have no idea how many times it has gone into reshoots at this point. The production budget is well north of $400 million and given the lack of interest it’s not going to make half of what it needs to, to make a profit. I kind of feel sorry for Anthony Mackie. He seems like...

The Dark Herald (sort of) Recommends: Wicked (PART I)

I can’t get across to my children what a Television Event used to be like. What it was in tangible terms is obvious, a marketing ploy and a very successful one. A captive audience of 70 million Americans is something a contemporary ad man doesn’t even dare dream of today, but that was what you’d have back then. If there was a Television Event being broadcast on one of the networks the other two just gave up for that night. They were...
