Besides, we all know what Warwick Davis’ greatest role was -

My only real memories of Willow are a surprisingly good Zelda/Crystalis clone for the NES. I have negative interest in the new show.

Now is a good time to get Season 2 on Netflix or Toonami, since it was arguably the Netflix airings that boosted the show’s popularity enough for Magen Train to be a box office hit.

DeMarco likes it.

Friggin Croatia does it on penalties again!

They get a small, loyal fanbase, but they’re almost always commercial flops. Looking at you Owl House. It’s tough when there are more choices for entertainment with more cash behind them. Not to mention games with pushes to make them seem like events - A good pipeline that creates original content that draws people back is worth more than a thousand Owl House style shows, up their own asses but the casual audience is bored to tears.

That was the ONE Batman related thing I wanted Keaton for…

Yes because when being slaughtered by streaming that’s the move you want to make. What I honestly would want is the same sort of pipeline system World Premiere Toons was. You need talent, real talent, not friends from social media, if you want original productions to make the grade. You need to encourage that talent that your place is the place to stay. Instead of chasing shows, like say, bidding on Hazbin Hotel or dumpster diving for Tuca & Bertie, you need to bring the talent to you so they can make their original ideas with you. Also, don’t let Chris Savino be involved.

So all the films are being scrapped, Cavil is out AGAIN, and Momoa is out as Aquaman…but in as Lobo. That’s a lot.

It’s white noise at this point with Kayne. A very minor thing by me is that the gym won’t play his songs during sparring sessions anymore.

Gets better - “Fuck everything and start over” seems to be the call.

Oof.

We’re going to get the new FLCL, and it will be worse than the last batch, cementing it along with the Matrix and Eureka 7 as an example of a franchise where only the first entry is good. Uzumaki will be delayed one more time at which point a furious David Zaslav cuts his losses and cancels it.

1996 was a WEIRD time for Cartoon Network. They were fumbling in the dark with a few originals and still relying on their legacy products for the majority of the schedule. Saying they’re going back to 1996 isn’t exactly encouraging.

Most of the major pollsters have called the race for Warnock, even if it was unfortunately close.

Chainsaw Man 7. Witch from Mercury 9.

Been a busy day. The ketchup bottles at Mar-A-Lago are not safe.

That is very impressive, but there’s still a lot more to be done. I think the inevitable barometer for this stuff is…adult material. Hear me out, the VHS triumphing over Betamax, sites like Tumblr, TikTok, OnlyFans started as adult websites or at least adult material friendly, only to jettison it when advertisers and corporate cash came knocking. Because adult material always tends to lead the charge into new technologies, only for the rest of the world to follow once they’ve proven if safe and reliable. If AI art can fix the fingers problem, and give people cheap, professional quality commissions without the cost and/or deep sense of shame that comes with spending money on artists, the rest of the art world is in trouble.

You can blame the old Russian stockpiles. These were apparently old Soviet-era recon drones (1980s) turned into impromptu cruise missiles, the Tu-141.

It’s Christmas season. That means dusty Christmas specials and Hallmark movies, which still fall behind the traditional leader in sports programming.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/second-day-of-drone-attacks-means-invasion-of-ukraine-is-now-a-war-in-russia?ref=wrap A second day of drone strikes in Russian territory were reported today, which represents a major escalation in the conflict.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-strikes-two-military-bases-inside-russia-using-unmanned-drones-nyt-2022-12-05/?utm_source=reddit.com Ukraine basically hit Russia’s equivalent of Edwards Air Force base with a drone attack, damaging their bomber fleet.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday special. It’s pretty fun for what would probably have been a weird Marvel Team Up comic in another time (Like the one with the Avengers on Letterman).
