I only watched this damn thing because I’ve been skipping too much pop culture of late and I was overdue to take one for the team. And boy did I ever. Assuming I can steal time to write this any time soon, it’s going to be a Recommends With Reservations. My version of the two-star review. My criteria for Does Not Recommend is, that there is no reason to see this movie and truthfully there are actually a few reasons to see this...
This. is my shocked face. To the surprise of no one with a brain, the lawsuit filed by Osceola and Orange country "residents," has been chucked by the judge. Background information here. If I get time today, I'll do a post on the Disney earnings call. As a man who both cooks and is a writer of fiction, I can't wait to see this masterpiece of unfounded optimism. UPDATE: Earnings call post is not going to happen tonight. I forgot the kind...
No seriously, we’ve had a massive change of heart about it. All of the shill sites are suddenly writing articles about how Star Wars fans have decided that the Last Jedi, is upon second viewing a few years down the road, a masterpiece. A brilliant and bold reimagining of Star Wars lore. And that we are now all enthralled with how Luke’s character arc to recovering hope thanks to Rey is a wonderous thing that breathes new life into a franchise that...
Yep. It's a Kathleen Kennedy show. #DoomcockWasWrong. There are now some late in the day leaks about Kenobi. And of course, he gets the Luke Skywalker treatment from Kathleen Kennedy. From That Park Place: "Star Wars will be retconned so that Obi-Wan Kenobi failed to protect Luke Skywalker… and in fact an inquisitor had the opportunity to kill him as a boy. However, out of goodness in her heart, she overcomes the desire to kill him and instead sacrifices her...
No, I didn't misspell that. I checked three times. Apparently, he's Scottish. I guess that explains the unspellable name. I don't know a thing about him, other than the BBC obviously still has a say in things. My only prediction for Doctor Who at this time is that Jodie Whitaker's last episode will be the most-watched episode of her entire run. There will be huge watch parties because every Doctor Who fan wants to watch that bitch die! UPDATE: I saw the interview...

I am willing to bet a few of the more realistic institutional investors are chewing that one over in the backs of their minds. And if they aren’t, then I guarantee Parks and Experiences executives in Orlando are quietly bringing the idea up over Dole Whips when the mega-moneymen visit Tomorrowland. Something that is not generally known to the public is that the great Red/Blue divide has very much divided the Walt Disney Company. Disney Burbank intensely loathes Disney Orlando and Orlando likes...
FIRST Overwatch 2 is now in a closed Beta. So it might be an actual Beta instead of just the kind of early access that is, ‘don’t blame us if the game breaks all the time it’s in “Beta.”’ Bethesda became legendary for that, and never fixing anything before they got bought up by Microsoft. The exact same thing is going to keep happening at Bethesda but now everyone will blame Microsoft for it. Anyway Overwatch 2. I am pretty far from impressed. The joke...
This thing sounds so awful it may be irresistible. We already knew there was going to be a bunch of cameos According to rumors, John Krasinski will be playing Mister Fantastic. Great choice, everyone was excited by it. Wanda kills him. If you are getting a Mister Fantastic at all he won't be white and you know it. The rumor and it sounds believable is that Wanda is killing all of the cameos. Instead of her offing randos Fiege had the brilliant idea...
Saturn is fallen, am I too to fall?Am I to leave this haven of my rest,This cradle of my glory, this soft clime,This calm luxuriance of blissful light,These crystalline pavilions, and pure fanes,Of all my lucent empire? It is leftDeserted, void, nor any haunt of mine.The blaze, the splendour, and the symmetry,I cannot see—but darkness, death and darkness.Even here, into my centre of repose,The shady visions come to domineer,Insult, and blind, and stifle up my pomp.—Fall!—No, by Tellus and her...
