Turning Red Pulled From Theaters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqdHP2dWQ9M That is the trailer for Turning Red, and Pixar’s animators are doing exactly that.This is Pixar’s third movie in a row to get pulled from theatrical distribution and dumped on Disney +. Soul and Luca both got jerked from theaters “due to Covid,” and were sent straight to streaming. Now the pull and dump on Soul was understandable, there was genuine Corona panic when it was supposed to hit the big screen, (as opposed to the pretend panic we have now). But that...

Friday Open Thread

https://youtu.be/uiB0Gu2fsok Now in English!Talk about what you want but it must be related to pop culture. All others will be deleted.News and Rumors:CW is getting sold. I suppose this isn't much of a surprise. Background for those with poor memories. UPN was started in the 1990s by Paramount and frankly, it always struggled. Its flagship show was Star Trek Voyager and that pretty much says it all. I will grant it had a few bright...

The Sons of Silenus – The Sidekick Heroes

The Sidekick hero. Frequently thought of as the lowly sidekick. Yet he is the hero's "shield on shoulder and right-hand man," his monkey wrench in a bad fight when most he needs one. The guy the hero knows will always be there no matter what. The son he never had and more brother than any sibling of his own flesh. Holmes without Watson is unthinkable. You can’t conceive of the Lone Ranger without Tonto at his side. Jim West...

The Dark Herald Recommends Free Guy

I thought this movie was going to be one overly long played-out joke that was completely spoiled in the trailer.And for the first five minutes, I was right.Then it turned into something a lot better. I’m as surprised as anyone.Free Guy is a Ryan Reynolds movie, starring Ryan Reynolds as Ryan Reynolds. But you already knew that from the movie poster. He only has one character but he seems to know it and plays that part well.Guy is an NPC in...

The New Doctor Who

Or may as well be.I thought Davies was going to go for a gay Pakistani myself but to each his own.Lydia West isn't confirmed but this is who the Wokeites want for Who. And in brutal honestly, they are the only people still watching it so if you're Russel Davies, a Lefty producer, to begin with, catering to the audience you have instead of the one you want is just good business sense. After all, you don't know if...

Solid Book of Boba Fett Numbers(?)

If you think that numbers that have been tortured until they confess to anything are solid. Well then, yes, they've been solidly tortured at least.From Deadline:The audience for Book of Boba Fett, measured by Samba TV across 46M TV devices with a panel of 3 million Smart TV households who watched at last five minutes, was 13% higher than the 5-day premiere of Disney+/Marvel’s Hawkeye, which was watched by 1.5M HHs from Nov. 24-28.Loki was the first prominent Disney+/Marvel series to drop on a...

DC Comics Is Done Forever

I have no idea what Daniel Cherry was brought in to do at DC but this is what he has done.And no Superman's prison rape was not some Elseworlds thing, it was the main timeline. What needs to be remembered here is that the Discovery is taking over Warner in mid-2022. Which means no one is watching what the Wokeites are doing. Or rather no one cares, because they are all wondering who is going to survive the...

I Think The Book of Boba Fett is in Trouble

This link leads to a google trends search.It compares the number of searches between three different IPs that all had major launches in the past 30 days.* The Witcher, Matrix Resurrections, and The Book of Boba Fett.I must emphasize that this is a very crude tool, for instance, people googling showtimes and ticket prices for the Matrix are going to increase the peak spike of searches past what the Witcher can do in terms of general inquiries. Regardless, it's...

First Impressions: Silent Sea

This binging culture is getting annoying.I watched the first episode and had a couple of questions. I can’t really ask them of the internet without finding out how the entire damn series ends.Okay, starting over.Silent Sea is a Korean science fiction series currently on Netflix. On the basis of one episode, I can now state with perfect conviction it stands head and shoulders above any of the western science fiction series that Netflix has sunk money into.Admittedly, a low bar to trip...
