When you think your life is bad and there is nowhere to go but down from here... Just remember these people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVOkYE_uwAI Discuss on Social Galactic But You Really Don't Have To
Well it's not in Antman 3 territory, you got to give it that.The third of the Guardians of the Galaxy is tracking to pull in $114 million domestic. Plus an FBO of $168 million for a worldwide total of $282 million.Against a budget of $250 million. Meaning it will have to break 500 million just to cover the production. Pulling a number out of my butt, I will put the promotional budget at an additional $250 million,...
Today's post is a "Best of the Dark Herald" REPOST.Cohen the Barbarian: What do you think it means when people invent a dish like “Pig’s Ear Soup?”Rincewind the Wizzard: It means they are a virtuous, frugal and abstemious people!Cohen the Barbarian: It means someone else filched the rest of the pig!! – Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett. Until 1350 that was pretty much the history of the entire world.A civilization would startup somewhere. Populations would expand because of the higher standard...
I can’t believe it took me this long to get around to playing this one. I suppose I was put off by the graphics. Considering how much I sneer at game reviewers for basing their reviews on the basis of how pretty the game looks, I will willingly take the capital L on this one.I done screwed up.I boned it in the ear for the lousiest of reasons.Also, I was totally wrong about the art design. The low polygon artwork is one...
We now have a trailer for Dune Part II.We will now see if Timothee Chalamet can carry a movie without Oscar Issac because the truth is that the first movie was carried by him. Chalamet didn't really have a chance to shine but now he will have to.Since there is almost no effort by American movies to make anything daring anymore, I am honestly hoping Dune will do well at the box office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Way9Dexny3w Here are some links to previous...
Last week I briefly went over some of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 fundamental problems. Well, the review embargo has been lifted and the reviews are looking very weak.And the scores are dropping. Moreover, these are the kind of reviews where the critic says just enough good things about the movie to just qualify the review as positive, before going into all the reasons it's a bad movie. "Gunn does a sturdy job of synthesizing...
This is the first of what will be several posts on the subject of the Disney/Florida lawsuits.There are two big questions hanging over this lawsuit by Disney. Has there been a 1st amendment violation by Ron DeSantis against the Walt Disney Company? And if there has been, is Disney guilty of securities fraud?The answer to the first question is “no,” because Ron DeSantis didn’t pass the law disbanding Reedy Creek that was the Florida legislature (DeSantis was only named in the lawsuit...
REPOST 4/28/2023 For our second anniversary here at Arkhaven, I decided to repost the article I ran the day before we launched two years ago. Yes, the title was slightly hyperbolic but I made my case for it. And we at Arkhaven have a mission to preserve civilization to the extent that we can. Yes, the snooty like to look down their noses at pop culture but I assure you, when thee opera started it was basically a...
Aside from that posterJames Gunn has a major problem to overcome with Guardians of the Galaxy. His characters have fundamental issues inflicted on them by other movies and his actors desires to cut ties with Disney/Marvel.The original Guardians of the Galaxy were a classic five-man band.Leader - Quill, the guy whose story this is.Rival- Gamora, equal of the hero and could be the leader in her own right but will follow Quill out of respect.Tank- Drax, The muscle. Usually...
Tucker Carlson rumorsNormally I wouldn't go with these but at the moment nobody is talking so everything is on the table.As for the motives for his firing, I'm not certain we'll ever know for certain. I think it was a lot of pressure on Fox from both the Deep State and major leftwing VC firms. Black Rock was forced to report that they now had 15.1% ownership of Fox. That is enough for Black Rock to put significant...
