I meant to do this one earlier but forgot all about it.Consequently, if you are interested in any of these you are going to have to buy them pretty much now because this sale ends tomorrow, Thurs 23.I have all these games except Fallen Aces and plan on doing reviews on all of them. All of them have something in common, they are throwbacks to the glory days of 1990s FPS games. They are also all by New Blood,...
So bad you’ll be begging for James Gunn reboot… - The Daily BeastIn a drama this dumb and unaware, the buffed-up makeover seems like an insult to the same “inadequate” outsiders and weedy minorities the film pretends to champion… - DeadlineToo derivative from previous superhero films and too goofy to present believable characters… - Don’t CareA sequel whose goofiness extends not only to its lame humor but its convoluted and senseless plot… -NY TimesBombastic and cacophonous, a relentlessly overstimulating carnival that...
I'm trying to find my jaw. It was on the floor here somewhere.Apparently, Iger is still capable of making a good business decision... In times of great crisis anyway.He needed to blame someone for the disaster they are in at Marvel and for once he chose the right culprit.From That Park Place:"Victoria Alonso, the longtime and high-profile Marvel Studios executive whose time with the company dates back to the first Iron Man, has left the studio, multiple sources tell The...
Do you remember when I told you that the current plan for the new Star Wars movie was to star the following?ReyChewbaccaR2-D2Baby YodaAnd As Yet Unnamed Character to be Introduced in the Disney + Star Wars Show?Yeah. For those you lucky enough to not watch it, this was in most of the last episode.That's Katie O'Brien. Martial arts instructor, former cop, body builder and a lesbian with a wife. Disney is suddeny injecting her into everything and giving her...
This artwork is so bad.Rick and Morty is a cartoon for grownups.It’s okay I guess, but it’s a cartoon for grownups and frankly a pretty overrated one. It’s not going to be remembered alongside the Simpsons, South Park or even Venture Brothers. And you can just forget about it being held up to any halfway-decent anime title. For those of you who have never seen it, don’t bother it’s gone way downhill in recent years but at its height, it was basically a...
There is enough buzz about this that I felt I should say something about it.Here are the facts. About a month before Antman and the Wasp: Quantomania was released there was a script leak for it on Reddit. The script in question was a subtitle script. The thing the studio sends to foreign distributors so they can insert the subtitles in their country's language. The language in question was Portuguese, which all but guarantees that the leaker is...
So much wasted franchise in one pictureAntman and the Wasp Quantomania is officially a disaster.Its third-weekend box office take is so anemic you’d think it was attacked by a vampire and after a manner of speaking, it was. Antman 3 will not break the $500 million mark in theaters. Every Disney Marvel movie after Black Widow crashed on takeoff, has lost money. Shang Chi, The Eternals, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Wakanda Forever and now Antman and Wasp Quantomania. The trajectory of...
The second episode of The Mandalorian aired last Wednesday and I have yet to hear a peep out of Fort Mickey. Whenever the streamer studios have one of their exceedingly rare wins they screech it from the rooftops. HBOmax pounded its chest about House of the Dragon and The Last of Us. Paramount struts around bragging about Yellowstone’s numbers. Even Amazon felt the need to brag when The Rings of Power debuted (the numbers were a fantasy, but they felt the need to brag...
My loyal Darklings know that their herald is not given to false or indeed any kind of modesty whatsoever. It is alien to my nature. I'm just not good at it and it's usually embarrassing for all involved when I try. Painful self assessment is another matter entirely. I can do that just fine.Consequently, when I say that John C. Wright leaves me so far in the dust as a writer that the dust has long settled, been...
