This Is Incredibly Sad

(*sigh*)Okay, this is the Clerks III trailer.look at it.LOOK AT IT!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMspLXUjjBk That. Was. Awful.Randall has a heart attack and makes Clerks. That's the movie.The jokes, if they could be called that, are entirely self-refential.This is fucking tragic. Kevin Smith was once the voice of Generation X fandom. He was the guy with radical attitude who was telling George Lucas his prequel trilogy was complete crap. Now he's a two dollar fan whore pretending the Last Jedi was the...

The Dark Herald Recommends – Luck

Whoopi Goldberg would not have been my first choice to play a leprechaun. Luck felt a lot like old Pixar, it had that much going for it. I could have taken the kids to see it at the theater and not been worried about any mind control experiments being performed upon them by the filmmakers.This was John Lasseter’s first feature-length animated film after his short Blush. Blush felt like golden age Pixar, the magic was somewhere to be found even if it wasn’t...

Ezra Miller – Cult Leader

Running down an Ezra Miller story quite literally gives me a freaking headache because everyone uses his retarded non-binary pronouns.Good trick though, if you are running a cult, which he appeared to be doing in Iceland.When an individual uses "we" as a personal pronoun it invokes a collective identity to everyone around you, especially if you have to be deferential to him.From Indiewire:"In April 2020, Miller rented out parts of Iceland’s Hótel Laugarbakki, where the actor took a young...

What About Flashpoint?

The rumor that Batgirl will never see the light of day is now hitting the Hollywood trade media. This is all but an official announcement. The Woklings, who never planned to see it, are stamping their little feet over this decision and calling it racist. But that was to be expected, any kind of loss of ground in the culture war sends them into fits. But the bigger question isn’t the fate of Batgirl, that appears to be sealed, it is what...

Batgirl Movie Killed

It looks like this one is for real.Warner Brother’s $70 Million Batgirl movie would appear to be shitcanned. This thing was already finished. It was awaiting the release of Ezra Miller’s Flash movie to reset the DC timeline and bring Michael Keaton’s Batman into the current DC film universe’s meta, whatever the hell that is at the moment. It was pretty questionable from the get-go unless you were Ann Sarnoff. Batgirl is black but Commissioner Gordon is JK Simmons and Batman was Michael...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: The Boys Season 2

Or Season 3 for that matter. It is actually worse.I'm incredibly busy at the moment.I have a local election tomorrow in my area and for once this very Red territory’s primary is going to matter.

I’m half finished with the second part of my Space 1999 retrospective. I’ll get that up some time this week. Enjoy some best of the...

The Death of Substack Comics

Nick Spencer apparently is no longer in charge at Substack Comics.He was the guy in charge of the machine that was built around throwing high-speed comics shit at the wall and hoping it would stick. He is now back to being just a writer.From Bleeding Cool, so don’t click on it. ////“The Year One Substack Comics Pro deals are coming to an end, as was originally planned and the Substack Pro deals will switch from those large six-figure advance payments...

DC Film News

Yes, I had better things to do than report on DC films. But it is comic book news so here I is.FIRST Batfleck lives! This time it isn’t a rumor. Ben Affleck is back in black for Aquaman 2. Because they don’t want to show Keaton yet. This does mean that Affleck signed a new contract. There is no way he would have come back for a one-and-done cameo. It also means reshoots are finally underway. So, one way or another the Amber Heard matter has been settled. My...

What Is Going On With Hulu?

There is a lot fist shaking going on about Hulu rejected a political ad for the Democrats but then turning around and accepted “some” political ads.Most of the yelling was about how Chapek was backpedaling again, like he did on the Florida Anti-Groomer law.A lot of people were asking how long will Disney keep doing this?Wrong question.The question I had was, why is this happening now? This is July. Political ads won’t start in any serious way until after Labor Day. That is when $8...

The Dark Herald Recommends The Law

This one took me by surprise. At first, I just assumed that it was something from an anthology that Butcher’s publisher decided to run up on Amazon as a one off, but I called it wrong. This 99 page novella is Butcher finally dipping his toes in Indy waters.**Spoiler Alert**This story takes place after Battleground and references it heavily. So, if you are planning to read it and haven’t yet, bail now.**Spoiler Alert**The Law opens a month after the Battle of Chicago, which...
