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...

First Impressions: The Book of Boba Fett

At first, I thought I was going to really like it.The show opens with Temuera Morrison in a Star Wars healing tank and he is having a series of quick-cut nightmares. After a flashback of Daddy’s helmet rolling in the dirt courtesy of Mace Windu. Then his dreams answer the very reasonable question most Star Wars fans had for years, how did he get out of the Sarlac pit?Although, a better question would be, how the hell did the toughest...

After Christmas Disney Fails

I love my in-laws. I truly do. They are the sweetest people on Earth.Their only failing (though it is a pronounced one) is that every TV in their house is constantly playing Fox News. And they have a LOT of TVs. They are both in the Silent Generation and Silents are actually worse than Boomers when it comes to their addiction to television. It's definitely a generational thing. Boomers on up constantly watch TV. If they go...

Bob Iger to Return to Disney?

The answer to that question is; no. Or rather; NO.None the less CNBC ran with this ridiculous drivel.It hasn’t even been two years since Bob Chapek took over as Disney’s CEO. But one executive told CNBC there are already internal wagers at Disney about Iger returning.Iger, 70, repeatedly extended his contract after planning to retire in 2015, 2015, and 2018, before abruptly stepping down in 2020. He’s still Disney’s executive chairman until the end of the year.It’s unclear if Iger wants...

Is The Acolyte, Greenlit Afterall?

I had predicted that Lesley Headland’s The Acolyte would never see the light of day. Yet this week there was an announcement of a casting selection for that Disney+ show. Amandla Stenberg who played the ill-fated Rue in the Hunger Games has been signed to be the lead. Indicating that the project is moving forward… Maybe…Or maybe not. Here is the big thing. There has been a major change with the Acolyte that went unremarked upon in trade media.It is now part of the...
