So much for Disney’s anti-Woke agenda. Back in 2003, Disney made a movie about one of it’s long-standing attractions with a slightly past his sell-by-date leading man. No, not Pirates of the Caribbean. I’m talking about the one that failed. The Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy. I suppose when all is said and done, the […]

New Mutants was released theatrically and what the hell were they thinking? It was never going to do well but $750 K? Holy crap! This is the first Marvel movie since the turn of the century to make less than a million dollars on opening night. This is a mega bomb when Disney was looking […]

I’d thought replacing Black Panther with his baby sister was a profoundly stupid idea but then there wasn’t anything on Marvel’s phase IV slate that wasn’t Woke and Dumb (but I repeat myself). However, Disney knew something I didn’t. “Black Panther” film star Chadwick Boseman, an actor whose work celebrated African-American pioneers and culture, has […]

Ever since Doomcock posted his video there has been a great deal of talk about Disney’s new Anti-Woke initiative. My own thoughts. Ordering everyone to shut the hell up and stay away from politics is nothing new for Mickey the Great and Terrible. Everybody who works at the long time core businesses of the parks […]

Read More So About Disney’s Anti-Woke Crusade

All properties purchased by Disney have suffered but I think it’s fair to say that the Muppets are the second to the worst. * My metrics for this are; loss of authorial intent, financial degradation, and metastization of the Critical Race Cult. Star Wars has had a loss of authorial intent and the CRC has […]

Bill Clinton was now president. Universities were creating program tracks specifically for illiterates And despite having college degrees ourselves, Generation […]

REPOST: Call this prep work for my essay on the Silmarillion.  It was written in 1954, you can tell it was written in 1954 because it couldn’t be written today. This is a work of high tragedy that is strongly influenced by the Norse sagas.  If you like Game Thrones but would prefer that it […]

I once had evening chow with a guy who had survived the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut. For those of you too young to remember, this was a huge event in it’s day. It was the first of the Muslim suicide bombings (so far as we were concerned) and the biggest one day […]

Back in the dim mists of time. When Duran-Duran was on MTV and I was on campus, a new and profoundly bitter kind of undergrad was starting to appear at colleges across the country. The Non-Traditional Student. Also known as the returning drop-out. An odd creature that was and remains quite celebrated in pop-culture. I […]
