The 21st Century of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Part 3)

Thunderbirds didn’t do what the Andersons wanted it to do for them, but it did do what it needed to.  Its consistently high production quality put them on the map.  The right people were willing to return their calls.  And by the right people, I mean the money.  It was time for them to make shows that were built around filming humans.The Andersons’ decided they needed to change the name of their company when they finally achieved their dream of moving into live-action production.  The...

From my first piece in this series.“I have become quite a fan of Alex Macris’ Ascendant Star Spangled SquadronIf you aren’t familiar with it, then smash the link above and become familiar with it.   This webtoon is actually doing what up to now, I didn’t anybody would be doing.  Creating new superheroes based on the heroic archetypes I’ve been writing about on this blog. Before I go any further let me make clear that Alex Marcris never read any of my articles...

Disney Vacations Are Being Canceled

Disney world cancelations are through the roof but the parks are ludicrously crowded.  What is going on?Well, if you ask any of the Woklings they will smile broadly and chant, “GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!  GAY!” Feign a mike drop and walk off.That isn’t it. There are several factors at play but most of it isn’t politically motivated.The purple-haired TikTokers don’t have that kind of money and they will melt in the Florida sun.Most of the normal people really mad at Disney over their pro-groomer stance weren’t...

The Fate of the DC Cinematic Universe

The Mass executions at Warner Brothers have gotten underway ahead of schedule.Are the firings serious? Oh, yes, my Darklings they are indeed.Ann Sarnoff, who has been doing for DC what Kathleen Kennedy has done for Star Wars, and I’m not exaggerating in the least, Ann who was born with a solid platinum membership card to the Hollywood Club waiting for her in the delivery room has been “confirmed to have left Warner Brothers last week.”  That is show-biz talk for shitcanned.  She...

Chapek’s Hostage Video

That is exactly what it freaking looks like.I was half expecting him to say, "i am treated well. i am given enough nourishing food to eat like rice and beans. i have been given a bed with a sheet to sleep on. https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1512192241959284747 This was clearly and obviously shot on an intern's laptop. His eyes are moving left to right and pausing as the text catches up to him. He's framed to look as small as possible. The only thing...

The 21st Century of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Part 2)

The 21st century is well underway by 2022 and let’s face facts, it blows moose. The super neato things Generation X was promised when were kids are nowhere on the horizon.  Hell, we’ve even lost ground here and there.  The last time a commercial passenger could travel at supersonic speed was nearly twenty years ago.  Although, I will grant that most of what George Orwell was promising us has worked out even better than he was expecting.  You even have your choice of Big Brothers. Hell,...

Schuyler Hernstrom’s Kickstarter Campaign

Sky Hernstrom is the writer that we were looking for back when we were first getting into RPGs. Seriously, If Robert Howard, Jack Vance, and Poul Anderson decided to do a collaboration in whatever nether world they now inhabit.  Then poured their inspiration into Sky Hernstrom's pen, I don’t see how the result would be much different.Hernstrom is a multi-talented artist working in both word and ink.  You have no idea how I envy him that second skillset in a world...
