Disney is trying to rip itself off again. The very first full-length animated movie in the world was Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Walt Disney quite literally bet the house on this picture. If it had failed or even underperformed, he would have been completely ruined. But he won big and went on to found a company that he would want his name stripped off of if he could see it today.I suppose leaving this...
I just enjoyed an Episode of Boba Fett?!?!? What the hell? How did that happen?Easily as it turned out. Step 1, make sure Boba Fett is NOT in his own show. At all. Not even a little bit.Step 2, make sure the Mandalorian is.Step 3, drain the effects budget from the rest of the series and pump it all into, what is basically, an HOUR-long episode of the Mandalorian. This is probably the best episode...
Never use a written language you don't read.Truth be told, I've seen the shoe on the other foot plenty of times. Guys who got Kanji tattoos because they thought it looked cool asked the Okinawan tattoo artist to write something that sounded "badass."Then later found out the symbols meant "rotting fart," which when you think about it does qualify as "badass."Although the most popular was "illiterate Gaijin."
Gary Boechler at Nerdrotic put this surprisingly detailed report together on Amazon's upcoming Woke disaster.There were a few hot takes that I didn't know about.First, the Tolkien Estate did not do this willingly. They got hurt in arbitration with Warner Brothers and part of the settlement is that they had to allow a Lord of the Rings TV series. Although, the estate did get to maintain a right of absolute veto over everything. And when Amazon was...
Post what you like so long as it is pop culture-related.All others will be deleted.******************************Legendary Films has had enough of Warner Brothers BS. The new Godzilla series is NOT going to be streamed on HBOmax. It is going to be Apple TV+.Considering how badly Warner wanted this for HBOmax it is a fairly gigantic middle finger to the house that Bugs built. The sad truth of Warner Brothers is that if it weren't for Paramount, they would...
Woke candy. It has come to this.Normally, I wouldn't bother to cover something like this here but the M&Ms mascots are a legitimate part of pop culture and thus falls within my purview. Candy is about to get more "inclusive," with the maker of M&M's announcing its famed characters are getting modern makeovers and will have more "nuanced personalities."The green M&M, previously seen in ads posing seductively and strutting her stuff in white go-go boots, will now sport a...
Apparently, it's mission accomplished for DC Comics brand manager Daniel Cherry III.He is outta here!!The big boss of DC Comics is moving on to other things, walking away from the smoldering wreckage of the brand he flew into the ground at full speed, in his wake. His tenure will be remembered as being unique in comics history. There will be endless debates over who was the best publisher in comics history. But there will be no such discussion...
That’s it for Blizzard. Microsoft is buying out Activision/Blizzard for damn near $70 billion. This isn’t that much of a surprise. Blizzard is in such bad shape that a buyout was the only way out. (don’t click on the link, it’s from The Verge.)Microsoft is acquiring Activision, the troubled publisher of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Diablo. The deal will value Activision at $68.7 billion, far in excess of the $26 billion Microsoft paid to acquire LinkedIn in 2016. It’s Microsoft’s biggest push into...
That really is what it feels like. G4 came back from the dead but it came back…wrong.Last week, G4’s alternate timeline trans Justin Bieber from 2010 named, Frosk, went off on a prolonged rant on G4’s live stream about sexism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps12AWRbqpE Now according to her rant, either Frosk objects to sexism in general or she feels there isn’t enough of it being directed at her specifically, it’s hard to tell which because she’s clearly an idiot. But the jaw-dropper was claiming that Olivia Munn...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRjlJWsVaAs It's not just that the outlaw biker gang Boba Fett recruited is riding around on Vespas. It's the fact that they LOOK like the kind of outlaw biker gang that would ride around on Vespas.Wheelie and Chopper Bunch are on their hover scooters chasing around somebody's Dad in his Space Cadillac Fleetwood. And it is just as exciting as it sounds. This is Star Wars 2022.Possibly the dullest chase scene in the history of science fiction. The...
