I enjoyed but wasn’t wowed by it. It actually made me more excited for the idea of James Wan tackling a John Carter of Mars reboot. 

Trivia Fact: Disney owns TWO comic book companies. They’ve had the Cross Gen comics IP for years. It the same sort of tactic they had with John Carter/Star Wars, getting a cheaper IP to get them into the franchise game until they bought a legit franchise.

1. Just in general DeSantis seems to be a bully.

So while it’s not necessarily a surprise that audiences turn up to see a modern classic like Coraline on the big screen, it is a surprise to see it do numbers better than the week’s new releases. 

I, too, have issues with the treatment of the Gorn when introducing a new species might have been a better call. 

You can put out a great looking community content ttrpg PDF on a tight budget without any AI art.

If you can, watch the Ready Room episode for this one. The amount of love in the room for ST and the ST family was off the charts. Hearing that Ethan Peck was wanting everyone to keep in touch and still be great friends after filming was touching.

Yeah, that had a surprising punch to me. The room got dusty there for a moment. 

It made me really want to catch up on Lower Decks before Season 4 starts, because I’ve always been charmed by that show’s energy, even though the pilot wasn’t all that great (...to be fair, across all of Trek, I think the only legitimately good first episode has been DS9's Emissary, and even that’s being generous).

So a family friendly style of Iron Man? Looks fun. I’m in.

Sadly, I feel this is just one more step in publishers justifying spending little to nothing on unknown/lesser known authors by hoping social media makes a book go “viral.”  It also lets publishers feel they can blame the author for not working the social hard enough. 

Frankly it depends on who you talk to. All things come in cycles and we’ve been here before when the people at the World Science Fiction Convention split between those who only wanted to continue to focus sci-fi literature and others that wanted a convention more open to other media and cosplay.

When creative get taxed huge on an income that is the original gig economy vs the miniscule amount taxed on capital gains, that was your first clue. 

As we prepare to combine Paramount+ and Showtime later this month in the U.S., we are refining our content offering to deliver the best streaming experience for subscribers

I may be really behind on Marvel’s continuity, but I thought Kraven was a normie and didn’t have super powers.

The customer for this product is an imprint like Harper Teen to create a publishing package like Vampire Diaries so they don’t have to pay a creative like L.J. Smith. (Smith was selected by Harper to write the books.)

I’m guessing most cosplayer don’t actually use paper, which would be a nightmare out at a con due to tearing and such. Change that a different material and you’ve got some jammies.

Calling it now for the merch. Imp prison jammies!

In some ways, this is not much different than any other story focused on superheroes, whether they possess spandex, jedi robes, or vampire fangs.

I appreciate that while Miller’s behavior and the cognitive dissonance it can cause is acknowledged in the article, the movie review focused on said movie.

Which industry does NOT have a range from peanuts to millions of dollars? Retail? Law (give your paralegals more love?)
