Guess Who Is Not Welcome at Disneyland Anymore?

Well, we all knew this was coming.Disneyland celebrated the 67th anniversary of its opening on Sunday.Every year this speech is played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uuC3kS9kxk This is blocked?!?!?!!? Are you shitting me?Well, this isn't the only place it's blocked because Walt Disney's innocuous cheerful 37-second speech no longer has any place in Disneyland's official celebration of its own anniversary.The guy whose name is on the damn park is now an unwelcome figure. Walt Disney's opening day speech was very conspicuously absent.The Woke left...

Rewriting the History of Covid Disney

The business news world is all abuzz today over an article in Business Insider that claims that Bob Iger is trash-talking Bob Chapek. Anybody who is genuinely familiar with the inner workings of Disney these past couple of years would have to be startled by the portrayal of some of the events listed in this article. Because they have only the most tangential connections to reality. The original is behind a paywall but everyone is copying it. Here is the NY Post’s version,...

The Dark Herald Recommends Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel has just finished its first and likely only season. I’ve stated before that it was kind of a hard show to review due to the fact that I had no interest in it, and that hasn’t changed. But since the episodes were only a half-hour long, I was able to power my way through it.I can give it this much. I didn’t hate it.The Ms. Marvel character is a derivative, of a derivative, of a ripoff. In 1939, Bill Parker was...

Blogs and Ends: July 13th

All across the West, there is a crisis of legitimacy.The people running all of our major institutions from universities to national law enforcement to news media to the military to environmental government agencies are now intensely distrusted by huge swaths of the general population. Goebbels only ever rolled out the Big Lie on special occasions. It honestly wasn’t an everyday occurrence in Nazi Germany or, for that matter, Soviet Russia. Goebbels knew better and so did Stalin. Telling Big Lies every day would wash...

Rippaverse Banned

Getting thrown out of the right club is always a mark of quality.YouTuber Eric July’s Rippaverse comic book, Isom #1 has broken the bank and that goes over very badly in the kind of country club those bankers play golf at. I am being metaphorical, here none of the people coming out against this comic would consider anything more athletic than getting out of bed in the morning, (assuming they do that), let alone something that involves as much walking as...

Monday Morning Box Office: July 11, 2022

Lightyear has been cut from 2,000 screens. The theater owners have had it with this bomb, it’s doing nothing but cost them money at this point. It is doing nothing. Look for it to hit Disney + very shortly. At this point it’s nothing but an embarrassment for Disney.Top Gun: Maverick had a respectable 7th weekend at $15 million. Top Gun 2, is now in the nothing but gravy stage. The big question for Paramount is, do we waste this on Paramount +, or do we...

Yeah, It’s Gonna Suck: Overwatch 2

This one ain’t coming back from the dead.If any of you were harboring any hopes that Microsoft Blizzard was going to be any better than Blizzard Classic, let me sink them now.One of the things that killed Overwatch 1, was the ham-handed decision to inflict Role Que on the players. For those that never played Overwatch but are for some reason still reading this post, Role Que forced the players into filling available character slots, 2 tank slots, 2 damage slots...

The CW Is Officially Worthless…K-i-n-d of

I now know why Batwoman kept getting renewed, even in the face of its disastrous ratings and no, it wasn’t (primarily) the Woke. The CW was recently sold, if that is even the word for it, to NexStar for the grand sum of $0.00. That’s right, the CW was a giveaway, a freebie, an off-the-cuffo. Downside, NexStar has to assume all of the CW’s debt. But is it really a downside?This is actually a better deal for NexStar than it would appear to...

Thor: Love and Thunder – First Look

The review embargo is now lifted and it doesn't look too promising. Normally Disney requires that the access media toe the line on their AAA releases but at a freshness rating of 71% it doesn't feel like anyone is getting their arms twisted over this one. This also means that the reviewers aren't happy about an insufficient Wokeness level. As they will reliably lie for something that is bellowing The Message.There is also the problem of the film's...
