RE:Play X-Com UFO Defense

The Unknown is at the heart of what makes the Alien frightening. Perhaps the motives can be guessed at from actions taken but can they ever really be understood?  The Alien lends itself to mystery by its very nature, and mystery is the gateway to horror.  Cosmic Horror not only plays into the natural fear that the alien will generate but creates the concomitant terror of the laws of the universe being useless to protect you becasue you didn’t understand those laws...

Fox Announces Its Replacement for Tucker

The actual news has seriously invaded the pop culture news space today.You all know the news by now. Tucker Carlson is out at Fox and it looks like a firing. Fox has fired the only reason that anyone watches Fox. The rest of the day is going to be spent on speculation as to why he's gone and where he's going. This is honestly good news for me as I'm badly out of it today. I...

Arktoons Spotlight: Right Ho Jeeves

Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord. - Fahrenheit 451Arkhaven has moved from simply a successful business venture to an imperative necessity for the preservation of Western civilization. I wish that was just hyperbole. I really do.But it's not.From the Daily Mail:The comic novels have been edited for new editions by Penguin* Random House, as well as trigger warnings added to warn readers of ‘outdated’ themes.In the Wodehouse books, one warning said the prose had...

I Have A Question

Cleopatra: Is the General Quality of Our Ignorance Improving?

REPOST: 4/20/23WOW, this post has aged badly! Okay, in case you haven't heard about it, Jada Pinkett-Smith has a documentary on Netflix about African queens. There was one queen that apparently was nowhere near African enough for Jada's taste. The cope from lefty academics has been hilarious. "There have been unresolved questions over her race for centuries." I remember when it started and I am not centuries old no matter what my kids say. It dates...

Surprise! Surprise! Alec Baldwin is Having All Charges Dropped Against Him

Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwieshas stepped aside and appointed a pair of special prosecutors — veteran New Mexico attorneys Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis — to take over the high-profile case.“My responsibility to the people of the First Judicial District is greater than any one case, which is why I have chosen to appoint a special prosecutor in the Rust case,” Carmack-Altwies said in a statement today. “Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis will unflinchingly pursue justice in the death of Halyna Hutchins on behalf...

The Dark Herald Recommends: The Mandalorian Season 3

This may be the last season of The Mandalorian. The season finale could certainly function as a series finale as well.  Honestly, I hope they call it a day.  It certainly can’t come back from this incredibly weak season. And the ratings for the first three episodes can’t justify a renewal for a fourth season given the expense of producing a Star Wars show.  There is absolutely no Return of Luke scene this year. At the end of the day if you are a streaming...

The Hermione Question

UPDATE: And Emma Watson just thanked the planet Saturn for changing her life. W-w-what do I even say to this? 'Want one, Granger?’ said Malfoy, holding out a badge to Hermione. ‘I’ve got loads. But don’t touch my hand, now. I’ve just washed it, you see, don’t want a Mudblood sliming it up.’While I admit to enjoying the shrieks of outrage when the new Harry Potter series was announced, (because Rowling will be directly connected with it), there is now...

Jonathon Majors Has Been Dropped by His Management

Management 360 has dropped Jonathon Majors. This is pretty bad news for him. However, at the time of this writing, his Agency WME (William Morris/Endeavor) is still repping him.For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with the difference.A talent agency is supposed to go out and find work for the actor/actress/writer/whatever. The agents represent them to the studios trying to land them parts or if the talent is red hot and being pummeled by offers, sort through the best...

The Prisoner Under A Glass: (Part One – Danger Man)

I will not be pushed. Filed. Stamped. Indexed. Briefed, debriefed, or numbered!-The PrisonerTV shows simply do not affect intellectual development.  It just isn’t possible unless you are under the age of two and the pretty colors you are seeing are doing something rapid growth of your recently generated neural network.  TV shows in all brutal honesty are mostly for retards.  They are designed that way because they have to appeal to the lowest common dominator. Especially in the 1960s when you had to...
