    Big Pharma. – kick ’em in the balls, kick ’em hard!

    Love films like Homestead with moral dilemmas as the primary theme.

    And King of Kings….that trailer has the Spirit of so many religious films from my youth. It’s enough to make a grown man cry.

     

    Not gonna lie, the render of Toothless in that How to Train Your Dragon trailer is excellent.

    Speaking of live action remakes, there’s another one on the way from the House of Mouse:

    The only reasons why I play older games is that they’re more fun and DON’T require the internet in the way that a lot of current games do.

    Was playing on my PlayStation 2 today but playing on some old PlayStation 1 games that I’ve had since I was a pre-teen. Sure the controls a wonky by today’s standards (and less said about the camera angles the better!) but I still go on them for FUN and I like the soundtracks to a lot of them too. I’d rather be playing my old ‘Land Before Time’ games on the PlayStation 1 than something more recent like ‘Dragon Age’ LOL! Only when there’s no-one in the house though! ‘Racing Adventure’ was my favourite since I like a good racing game…and I don’t care if I’m in my mid-thirties and STILL playing them!

    I was going to put this in my gameplay video thread but this is not gameplay, it is commentary.
    So in this video I react to some of the cringiest scenes in the game & I discuss how we are all feeling about video games & our media in general. It is wild how crazy these people are & how they have managed  to turn activism into a multi million dollar career, until they successfully bankrupt whatever company they work in.
    I came up with a good term for them, “Corporate Revolutionaries”
    Nobody has done more damage to the LGBT community than these activists.
    Hopefully with the resurrection of President Donald Trump, we might finally get the sickness out. If not, at least he will get the ball rolling, since he won the entire house. Get our kids back from perverts & prosecute  every teacher that molested the minds of their students…. ok ok, I have to save the rest of that for the Trump Video lol, stay tuned.
    I might add some more  videos in this post for commentary because, my Male He/Him character was transformed  into a trans & I had no idea it was happening. You’ll see what  I mean later lol

    This looks good. I had it on mute, so guess they chose the music wrong, which made it cringe. I like the overall look of it. Shows like this, like Shogun, like House of The Dragon, are mastering mixing those grand shots of what the landscape and architecture looks like, mixed with scenes of people, that are probably shot just in a room somewhere. What bothers me a bit is that shows like these are better than what we tent to Expect from Epic Fantasy such as: Willow, Wheel of Time, Acolyte, Rings of Power, etc. It’s an odd experience to compare and contrast these things. Anyway, I like that stuff out of Rome. There was a good comic called Alix Senator that I liked, that would make a good Rome show like this.

    Those About to Die | Official Trailer | Peacock Original
    Peacock

    streaming July 18 on Peacock

    Synopsis: Those About to Die is an epic drama set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told — the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they want most…blood and sport. The series introduces an ensemble of characters from all corners of the Roman Empire who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics, and dynasties.

    This guy, Coach, from Echo Base Network, has a really good nature. The intro to the Video Below is pretty funny.

    I guess the MLB and Reggie Jackson is out there pushing racism narratives, too. The thing is, Latinos, Asians, Indians, Arabs, and other groups are all flooding into the country. Canada has had the most radical transformation of any country due to the number of Indians flooding in. One person said the Mongol Hordes came in less numbers than Indians into Canada is such a short span of time. So, the point is, that the whole tactic from the shysters of using black puppet actors to push racism is not relevant to what is happening to your countries now.

    Will say that the Afro-Fantasy elements of House Of The Dragon are done very well. You see how serious the actors take the roles that it does not come off cringe.

    Anyway, funny intro below.

    One question I’d love to put out to the media…where were you guys then when Halle Berry’s ‘Catwoman’ film failed 20 years ago??? THAT had a black female lead yet you went along with everyone else in trashing it yet you’re defending this clearly GOD AWFUL SHOW??? Same with ‘Elektra’ although you’re on about a white female lead there yet you guys STILL trashed that film along with everyone else and hence why we never got a female led superhero film until Wonder Woman back in 2017!

    Also if people don’t like ‘The Acolyte’ because of “muh diversity and representation!” then WHY is ‘House of the Dragon’ doing really well???

    (36 minute mark)

    Ethan showing up on Alex Stein is actually kind of a big deal, it shows Blaze is willing to platform EVS and have a conversation, an open and honest dialogue. Good on these guys.

    It’s easy to think of things as “The Blaze are team Eric”, but that might change, we see Alex and EVS having a cordial and even keeled conversation, maybe Eric’s stans can give this interview a watch in its entirety and see that the criticisms against Eric aren’t so petulant and hate filled, a lot of us just want to see things improve for this scene.

    What really struck me was Alex saying he wants to try to mend things between Eric and EVS. Where does that take this controversy? How do they drag Eric kicking and screaming to an open and honest conversation, how does Eric face the music without alienating his fans who think he’s infallible, and the same for Ethan in regards to him being an abject f*ck from time to time?

    I actually think that would be easy, if Eric can come out and take criticism, acknowledge where he fucked up that would go a long way, but how do you admit you filed a harassment charge against an innocent neckbeard without losing face? Does Eric have it in him to admit genuine fault? I’m not sure he does… I’m sure Erics fans and Eric will argue that Riley is an unhinged aggressive weirdo. When will you guys get it through your skull, Eric is even MORE aggresive and petty than Riley and has done more to escalate this bullshit than anyone. If anyone needs protection from the other it’s Riley who needs protection from Eric using his stature to destroy his life, as well as the character attacks and rallying his base to go after him.

    For all the character attacks Eric July makes on others, if he wants to see the person most responsible for the attacks and protests against his business, he needs to take a look in the fucking mirror.

    It’s a fascinating situation, and one has to wonder if maybe the blaze is seeing a potential ally in EVS, a business partner. Maybe they can double dip and help fuel this spectacle while promoting and capitalizing and the whole of the indie comic space. Could you imagine if comic gate kings did their own Rippaverse style multiverse of high quality with the same promotional power that Rippaverse had? With quality books… heck they could even do some politically charged stuff they could sell directly to the blaze audience. The mind wanders…

    You can’t overlook the fact that ISOM #1 made over 3 million dollars. But Yaira is falling hard, between all the upkeep costs and who knows what % “friends” and fellow youtubers get for promoting these comics.

    Simply put, the venture of the Rippaverse is facing a rapid decline from which there is no respite with the current trajectory of things. But in the greatest plot twist in history, maybe out of this beef between Rippa and EVS that could end up being a saving grace of Rippaverse.

    Could you imagine if EVS and Young Rippa got to come together to make something incredible. I’ve said it before i’ll say it agian, Rippa ist he ultimate hype man, EVS is the ultimate comic book creator (and a fantastic personality in his own right). Together, and with Alex Stien, they might be able to create the WWE of comic book creating and combine interesting personalities with art!

    Might be reading too much into this, but seeing Alex Stein and EVS together having this chat was VERY interesting. Just when I think this drama couldn’t get any crazier an entirely new layer unfolds.

    I’d love to see all these guys grow, and to be fair, maybe down the road if Eric learns to be a bit humble, maybe we can see EVS apologize for being such a fucking douche nozzle. Probably not, but interesting to see what happens next!

    ROFL, it’s ridiculous that this is the fucking drama i’m most intrigued by. Not house of the dragon, not star wars, well, maybe politics is the only thing more captivating for me, but my main source of entertainment these days, is watching EVS and Eric July’s beef over comics gate. What a fucking time to be alive.

    Also, if you want something to whither and die.  Ignore it.  Incessantly talking about it only drives attention towards it and free airtime is free advertisement. That’s now called the “Trump effect”.

    The guys just talked about this in one of the live shows, they get a lot of shit for covering star wars, attacks for breathing life into it. But that’s not how things work any more. Disney has the coffers to artificially inflate and promote their garbage shows, and in this vacuum of quality content a lot of viewers who don’t know better will assume it’s a decent TV show. That’s their play, they want to silence all naysayers and try to convince them that in the little cave they’d carved out for them, there is nothing better beyond.

    Star Wars and Disney thrive on the loyal fanbase being relegated to their little cave where they can be force fed their trash without knowledge of  better entertainment products. A great deal of their customer base also buys into the sense of belonging, in being part of this movement for something fun and wonderful. They eat up that illusion sold to them in promo materials and news letters and within this bubble.

    These people need to be smacked upside the head and told, “Hey idiot, watch house of the Dragon, stop supporting these people who hate you and exploit you.” Because you better believe the people at Disney are trying to say, “Hey bigot, if you don’t watch our show you’re a racist.”

    The reason Hollywood took over was because they played dirty, they forced a narrative, they mocked and shamed others into believing what they wanted and following their incessant whinings. While it would normally be low to shame others and mock them, if you are trying to bring people out of a cult, and to help people to realize that they have been mocked and exploited to buy into a low quality brand, then  they are susceptible to these poor tactics and using them to bring them back to some level of dignity isn’t such a bad play.

    They couldn’t help themselves from casting a spotlight on Trump. And Trump was able to turn their attention around because he’s a counter puncher that knows the game better than they do. The spotlight only works if people like what they see. Disney wants to be in the shadows, they want to be alone with our children so they can have their way with them.

    Also gonna sneak this twitter post in here cuz it’s hype:

    https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1802422850424332555

    Do you guys feel the rising tide? The call to action to fight against these cancel pig fucks? The time to hop on twitter and talk about this shit is now. The time to change popular opinion and ride this cultural shift is now. Why would we ignore them when these shit heads are at their most vulnerable? It’s time to press the attack and embolden others as their moral craters and the writing is on the wall. Disney is not the good guys, Lucas Film is not the good guys. They don’t make quality entertainment, they’re massive unethical megacorprations that are having a supremely negative affect on all of humanity and they need to be destroyed like the friggin’ Death Star.

    It is men’s fault that star wars is failing, and modern cinema and culture is dying. We let all that shit fall into the hands of subversive man hating commies.

    I just finished watching the House of the Dragon premiere. HOLY SHIT what a show, the contrast between Star Wars created by hacks who despise the source material and the talent and hard work that went into the original compared to the creators of Game of Thrones could not be more Stark (no pun intended). *EDIT: Just watched Ryan make this same damn joke on Nerdrotic’s live stream review, I didn’t steal it, I swear)

    I actually love the Acolyte now, it heralds our vindication. People are waking up to the fact that commies can’t make good star wars, and waking up to all these do gooders are all full of shit, never wanted to help only and only wanted to enrich themselves off the hard work and legacy of others.

    They can eat a bag of dicks.

    Anyway, House of the Dragon feels like an adult version of star wars. Instead of hyperspace and Millennium Falcons we have dragons, and instead of the force it’s a bit more grounded and we have touches of blood magic and godly presence.

    The epic war raging around the wonderfully created fantasy world, the sense of scale and turmoil is palpable, the strong characters with clear alignment to good and evil on all sides. It’s basically just star wars if you replace the X-Wings and Tie Fighters with dragons for a grown audience. I could nit pick, but I could not be happier with that first episode.

    I was legit pissed at Chris Gore for that spoiler that the show was mid, I wanted to at least have the joy of happily watching the show before it was revealed to be crap, but I think he was just trolling us, +1 respect for Chris, solid fucking troll and I just enjoyed it all the more with the lowered expectations.

    Holy fuck, what an incredible world they’ve spun, and with the knowledge that altering time is possible du to the Original Game of Thrones series, the potential is there to “Fix” the story that comes after it. Who knows!?

    Then with the Acolyte I’m just waiting to find out how it was the Jedi who actually killed those witches and used force powers to blame it on some innocent children. Little platoon had a great video on that theory.

    Also if you guys aren’t on Twitter, it’s so much fun right now arguing with the morons who still enjoy star wars. Do them a favor, shame them into a modicum of self respect and taste, no one should be on this sinking ship any more, it’s embarrassing.

    Everybody is thinking this. I didn’t see many people mention it though, as it is one of those unspoken thoughts.

    You know, with everyone else, the psyop dept. uses this line like “I want people who look like me,” and that line is an excuse to replace westerners in various strata of the economy.  If you were to say the same line, you would be called RACIST. Star Wars is one of those things that deliberately went out of their way to harm their base and offend their base and taunt their base. It is indefensible and there is no excuse to be made for it.

    The guy that should have been in charge was Drew Karpyshyn, but in this woke era of occupation, CEOs like Iger do not have to make responsible moves. The ratings will continue to fall, because with every passing show that does well, people are going to wonder how Star Wars has all this money, but cannot live up to expectations. Game of Thrones and House of The Dragon should have been a slap in the face of Star Wars. Same with the success of Shogun.

    Every time you think Star Wars sucks, I want you to know that it’s worse than you think every time you see a Fantasy show that does well or that is good. Where is the quality writing? Where are the quality characters?

    One thing you should know that know YouTuber will tell you is that all woke shows are just Grooming YOU for The Great Replacement. I know some others mentioned that they are sick of hate SW videos, but no matter how many of them you watch, they all come from a place of frustration that Star Wars can’t get it right and they will blame Filoni or Kennedy. Certainly, Filoni and Kennedy are on the list, but what no YouTuber will tell you is that Bob Iger, Ari Emanuel, Rahm Emanuel and Larry Fink are grooming you to be replaced by invaders and outlanders. They are grooming you to be replaced by people who don’t even belong in the west, who are greedy takers given perks by people like Mayorkas, Blinken and Garland. That is what is really happening behind the media, which is controlled by Ari Emanuel. There is no intent to fix Star Wars, or Wheel of Time or Willow, or Dungeons and Dragons, or Doctor Who, and there is a reason all of these things look the same, mangled and garbled and mixed and confused.

    House of the Dragon Sunday! Still so surreal to see seacrit talked about in the wild. What did you find buggy about it? Was it the lag hiccups? That only happens on the web build and has to do with the way Unity loads sounds, it’s been driving me crazy for years now. Once you play a little bit the lag goes away, only happens when you first do something.

    @DragonLady Not ribbing you with it. I think it looks ok. Overproduced was the word Chris Gore used. Pray for his health, btw. He had a stroke. Gotta be careful, because Wicked is growing on me. I never saw the Broadway, but it definitely looked good. Never got into the book but perused it. Tbh, the story looks good. Overall, I’m impressed. It does enough to earn a watch from the public.

    They made me laugh when they said Wicked is a Part 1, so there will be a part 2, and it might even be a trilogy?

    Never saw Cats and Cats was always weird, but I did like the music. One of the best ballads ever written. Also, despite not seeing it, I like that Steven McCrae from the Royal Opera House danced a number in Cats. Wish Hollywood would have used him for more numbers and cameos. I kind of thought that he should’ve been the new BeetleJuice because of how he moves. No disrespect to Keaton, as I watched The Founder again the other day, and he was so good.

    Like I said, never saw it.

    The other thing Chris Gore and Gary mentioned was The Wiz. Now, that’s one I REALLY regret not seeing growing up. Don’t know how I missed it. I kind of feel deprived. I still have not seen it, but grew up with MJ and his career. Missed out on a memory.

    @comicsgate

    First ‘House of the Dragon’ last night and now this. Santa seems to be giving me a lot of early Christmas treats this year🤣😍. The only Monsterverse film I didn’t like was the 2014 ‘Godzilla’ film because you couldn’t make out Zilly most of the time on it despite the excellent design. Bit of a waste of time if you ask me🥱. Spent most of it wanting to watch the 1998 Godzilla film instead😅. Despite the reception of that, I’d like to see a crossover with the Godzilla ’98 team and the Godzilla 2014 team. I think it’d be interesting.
