The Disney Calendar Is Now At Year Zero

One of the things that made Walt Disney very different from other producers of his age was his sense of history.  Most of Hollywood studios simply couldn’t begin to care less about that. As soon as the film is finished get rid of the props, and hopefully, you can make a dime to two doing it.Walt had a vision of himself as one of the Big Americans, that his name would be remembered with men like Ford and Edison. Whether he...

Disney’s The Little Merman Had A Big Surprise

So yeah, there was a porn star in Disney's The Little Mermaid.Dante Ferrari has an apparently extensive catalog in the gay porn industry. I say, apparently, becasue I am absolutely taking the internet's word for this without confirming it myself. I'm willing to believe that in this case I can trust Google's all seeing eye. Poor journalistic practice but I am poor journalist, and I like it that way. He seems to have done well in his...

The Absolute State of Bethesda

"Bethesda confirms Starfield's "fully interactive and customizable sex scenes" in bizarre new interview. "We wanted to beat modders to the punch this time," said Todd Howard..."Bethesda was once a rival to Blizzard when that wasn't a bad joke. You certainly paid attention whenever they had an upcoming launch. Sure there would be bugs in the PC port but in the 00s there always were. Back then the PC Master Race was a tertiary market and was treated...

Does I Look Like A Sexual Predator to You?

From: ComicBookMovie.com"Multiple Spanish-language sites are now reporting that Tenoch Huerta, who starred as Namor the Submariner in Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever last year, has just been accused of sexual assault by saxophonist María Elena Ríos, who labeled him a "sexual predator" in a series of tweets tonight. Rios initially called out the Poder Prieto collective - of which Huerta has connections to - for publishing a podcast episode that she did not consent to be released as they had not paid her for her...

And Another Thing: The LucasFilm “Sale”

Doomcock hasn't stopped beating this dead horse, so I won't either.The biggest argument against the sale of LucasFilm is simply from a business standpoint.As a fan, I would love to see Star Wars get away from Disney.But as a businessman, if someone came to me with a proposal to buy LucasFilm, I'd kick him out of the office.It really isn't worth that much anymore. Star Wars is significantly brand damaged. And LucasFilm is now stuffed with people who HATE...

I have given up on finishing my post on Outlaw Archetypes tonight. Hopefully, the Sons of Ulysses will go live tomorrow. My current distraction is a rumor that is tearing up the internet that George Lucas is buying back LucasFilm. Truthfully, the only reason I'm addressing this rumor is because it IS so high on the skyline that my opinion is going to be asked anyway so I may as well get it over with. The source of this...

Oh, That’s Sad

Let me state up front that I'm absolutely not into reality shows. I loath the concept of getting a bunch of people together so they can backstab each other. I don't like the fake drama and I intensely dislike the people who willingly show up for these things.However, Fox's new show, Stars on Mars kind of piqued my curiosity.It's a reality show where the contestants are simulating life on a Mars colony. Basically, it's Andy Weir's The Martian but...
