Webtoons Cuts Off Its Creators

I noticed there was a ton of screaming coming from the people who publish on Webtoons.com. Okay, there is always a lot of noise from that corner, but this seemed to be genuinely angry for once. It turns out they had good reason.Their payment program just went bye-bye.A notice was sent by Webtoon, notifying its CANVAS Creators that the Creator Rewards Program will end in January 2023. A "tipping system" will replace the program, but the platform did not divulge details as...

Kevin Conroy 1955-2022

Kevin Conroy was thee voice of Batman.Two generations grew up with him voicing the Dark Knight. The film actors have come and gone at random for the last twenty years. But Kevin Conroy was a constant in changing world. Adam West had an early claim to a clownish iteration but he didn't play the role anywhere near as often or carry the part as seriously as Conroy did."This series was clearly a high priority for Warner...

The Dark Recommends: The Wandering Earth

The Wandering Earth is based on a collection of short stories by Hugo-winning (and Puppy-approved) author Liu Cixin.I'll be dropping my Book Discussion of the anthology tomorrow. This review is about the movie of the same name.The premise for the film is big but perhaps a little ridiculous but I can accept it for a couple of reasons. One, you have to start a story somewhere and two, Liu Cixin, has a good track record for taking science...

The Dark Herald Recommends: Mohenjo Daro

Yes, it's another Bollywood movieYou have to be into archaeology to really enjoy this movie.When I loaded this one up I was at first a little disappointed. The grand spectacle of Raj Putana was missing. In fact, everything looked pretty cheap but then I saw almost everyone was using stone tools and they looked pretty authentic. That was when I took a real interest.It took about a minute of internet searching to discover that this production company really sweated the...

The Best Guns for Hipsters

REPOSTED I was way too busy to do any kind of post today. Here is an oldie that has the distinction of being my most ripped-off post of all time. I'm afraid it's starting to show its age but hopefully, it's still good for a laugh.Millennials.As sad as it is, the future is theirs.Okay I will grant (very grudgingly) that a few of them are alright but those tragic few of you, will sadly remain enslaved to the (*gag*) hipster fashions of your...

David Zaslav Wants to Bring Back Harry Potter

And by that, I mean the character of Harry Potter himself, which his fans will love.This includes working with JK Rowling if possible, which his Stans will hate. But let’s keep in mind, Jo Rowling hasn't changed any of her stripes. She is a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist). Don’t forget the Radical Feminist part of that. She is the one that went back and declared Dumbledore gay, despite the fact that this adds a greasy feeling to Harry and Dumbledore’s very close relationship. When...

Was Roswell Real?

I’ve finally gotten around to reading Jonathon Maberry’s Joe Ledger books and I freely admit to being jealous. He did with Patient Zero what I wanted to do with The Great Divide Game. I’m currently making my way through The Extinction Machine, it turns out that UFOs crash all the time and various governments are trying to make their pieces into some useful bit of super science wizardry. I had reached the point where Bug is talking to Ledger about the probability of...

Blogs and Ends Interview With An Emotional Vampire

Way back in high school I got talked into reading Interview With the Vampire. Why? Because I was young and stupid. Yes, it involved a girl, who fortunately never took an interest in me. Possibly, getting me to agree to read it was some form of shit test, and given how her life turned out, I couldn't be happier to have failed the test.Few can agree on why the fetish of two attractive women having sex...
