Was All of The Rings of Power AI Generated?

"The orcs’ response was a deafening onslaught of claws, claws, and claws; even Elrond was forced to retreat. “You are in good hands, dwarf,” said Gimli, who had been among the first to charge at the orcs; it took only two words before their opponents were reduced to a blood-soaked quagmire, and the dwarf took his first kill of the night. The battle lasted for hours until two of the largest Orcs attempted to overwhelm Aragorn. When they finally stopped,...

That’s a Dude

You are forbidden to find women atractive. Okay, I admit Nebula really isn't there to be easy on the eyes for guys but Karen Gillan can still manage it even through the makeup. That is NOT Karen Gillan's body. That is a dude's body that her head has been photoshopped on to it. There is a straight line going from the armpit to the knee. For reference here is Karen in Jumanji. Discuss on Social Galactic You will note that...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: Antman and the Wasp Quantomania

I have rarely seen a genre movie so dripping with contempt for its core audience. Nineteen eighties Mexican sword and sandals videos had more respect for the people that would be seeing it than this flick did. There are no characters, only cut-and-paste caricatures. This is no plot, only a series of ridiculous contrivances. This entire motion picture has been built around appearance for the sake of appearance. It is a Disney Frankenstein. This film is broken. Like its namesake, there is no substance...

More Bad News for Brie Larson

The Marvels had a summer release date of 28 July this year. It just got shoved back to a November 10 launch. It's not quite as bad as the January graveyard but that said, it sure as hell ain't a summer slot either. There were rumors it was testing badly, I think we can now assume they more than rumors. Captain Marvel has been a major and self-awarded headache for Kevin Feige. Feige's ego got in the way of harsh...

Raquel Has Left Us

She was the last of the old-school Hollywood bombshells and the most frequent complaint about her was that she couldn't act. If that was why you were watching Raquel Welch, you were doing life wrong. She arrived in a Life magazine spread called "The End of the Great Girl Drought." This got her a 7-year / 5-picture deal with 20th Century Fox. The studio wanted her to change her name to Debbie, instead, she made Raquel a household name. She...

RUMOR ALERT: Hogwarts Legacy TV Show

Warner Brothers' earnings call is ten days away. Zaslav will be making a number of announcements both good and bad. Because he has to be seen to be doing something. The most important this time is going to be who he is picking to run Wizarding World Productions (or whatever they are calling the Harry Potter Universe). Zaslav needs something more solid than a name, he has to announce a production but if the DCU is anything to go by, he isn't going...

Is Velma Getting A Second Season?

Depends on who you ask. I've been seeing claims that it is getting renewed all day. I just can't find anything that looks like a real confirmation. Just YouTubers and access media reading each other's headlines. The brighter ones are putting a question mark on the statement. I've found no official announcement in Variety, or the Hollywood Reporter, and only a backhanded confirmation in Deadline. Mind you I'm not saying it's not getting a second season. It still might. Warner...

Super Bowl 2023 Movie Trailers

Not all of the trailers. Just four. These are the only ones that I have to see for the Arkhaven Blog, and truthfully only have to see three of them but I'm geuninely interested in the first one. Regardless, the intriguing factor of these trailers for me is the number of views in the first 24 hours. It's not a perfect measure of audience interest to be sure, but it does give you an idea...

Warner Brothers’ Grand Design

It’s simple but complicated. AT&T spun off Warner Brothers when they setup the merger with Discovery. However, they still own a great deal of Warner Brothers Discovery stock. They want Warner Brothers sold to another company. Zaslav’s job is to get it ready for that sale. Everything to do with the DC has to be viewed through that prism. The first thing Zaslav had to do was trim the fat. So, he killed off what I’m going to call the Sarnoffverse. The previous regime’s plan had been...

Blogs And Ends: The When Did I Start Running a Business News Blog Edition?

Okay too many things to get cranked out too fast. So I'm doing an anthology post. FIRST Iger is thinking about selling Hulu On the face of it, this is nuts. Hulu is one of Disney's few real money makers. Its annual gross revenue is $9.6 Billion. However, it's less crazy when you dig into to it. Currently one third of that gross revenue has to go to Universal. Here's a quick refresher on the background. Hulu started as an equal partnership...
