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...

The Fall of the House of Marvel – the Foundation Crumbles

Ms. Marvel has defied my best efforts to write a review of it.  There is just nothing there to comment on.  It’s all very dull boring and tedious.  Nothing really happens.  I was left feeling bad for the lead actress Iman Vellani.  If Bree Larson had put half the effort into being as likable Vellani has, I would have been making excuses for her performance in Captain Marvel.  Vellani probably is the only genuine Ms. Marvel fan in all existence. Her story about how she made...

July 4th 2022

But it is not so much the absurdity as the evil of hereditary succession which concerns mankind. Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most...

Blogs and Ends – The Chinese American Swinger Edition

You’ve got better things to do on the Fourth of July weekend than read a blog and you know it. Why are you wasting your time here? Go have fun outside with your family.FIRSTI asked myself a question on my most recently regrettable trip to Walmart. What the hell kind of Chinese name is La Choy?Turns out it was Korean. The ancient secret is soy sauce and brown sugar!!!Ilhyeong New was born in Pyongyang in 1894...
