    Zenimax May Seek an Injunction to Halt Sales of the Oculus Rift

    Of course it is. Facebook paid a coup,e of Billion usd for Occulus didn't they? So now Zenimax is saying pay up the $500 million judgement or we get an injunction that forces a total loss on that billion dollar investment. It's not a subtle or unexpected legal maneuver. Zenimax loses nothing...

    Sony reportedly looking to sell Film and TV division

    We don't know what the deal is with Sony and Spider-Man. It might actually have a reversion clause of some sort. Should Sony sell or go bankrupt it might auto revert back. Or Marvel/Disney may have right of first refusal to buy it back at a fair market price.

    Moana - Another Disney Princess Movie

    Ugh! I know the LGBTQXYZETC populations like to find inspiration in Frozen. But it falls apart on examination, because that's not the message that it was queued up to send. Frozen's underlying subtext is about Mental Illness. About Mental Illness in the family. About how hiding it and shutting...

    Miss Sloane - A Woman Fights for Stricter Gun Control

    Wow! I'm thinking that whoever fronted the money for this one is currently considering shooting themselves. When one of the biggest takeaways from the 2016 US election is rather blatantly a great shout from flyover country of "STOP PREACHING AT US ASSHOLES!!!" directed at Hollywood and the...

    Mediocre Videogame Movie Director Uwe Boll Retires, Says "The Market is Dead"

    Didn't Boll make most of his money using tax loopholes? This is clearly another example of big government crushing the dreams of the independent artist... Seriously I have to admit to being a little saddened by this. Uwe is not simply Mediocre. He is bad in a spectacularly insanely watchable...

    Disney Announces The Rocketeer Sequel-Reboot

    You and me both. Heck it would be so easy to slip The Rocketeer into the MCU if they could get the comic creator to agree to it. He would make a great "Invaders" stand in for either the Torch or Namor as they both can be tricky to use in the Marvel movies.

    Disney Announces The Rocketeer Sequel-Reboot

    No no it's not. If it is "6 years after the original" then the movie is set in 1944. Which is about as far opposite as as you can get without actually owning people. Which makes their casting plans a bit of a problem with regards to immersion and suspension of disbelief.

    Say hello to the new Iron Woman

    That's the thing. They have done that. Several times. Yet Marvel in their attempts to be inclusive always fail to learn from past mistakes. They have put kids and teenagers in the armor before. Both in comics and a tv show. They all sucked. Further yeah we can tell this new character looks...

    The PSVita: Is there anything good to play on it?

    Given some games developed for the Vita... I'm gonna go with "not so unusual". Heck they probably make special cleaning kits just for that. But the Vita is great if you like JRPG's and Retro PSOne and PS2 titles.

    Casting Captain Marvel

    My gut tells me they are not skipping Mar-Vell. In fact he may be entering shooting any day now and will appear before Carol Danvers. I think they are just skipping Mar-Vell's Kree heritage, and making him a Titan Eternal instead. More or less merging Mar-Vell with Starfox. And putting in a...

    Casting Captain Marvel

    Weirdly in the comics she never holds the rank of Captain, outside of maybe a flashback story. She is first introduced as Major Carol Danvers in the original Captain Marvel book, and later in some stories named as Lt. Colonel Danvers. (Which always seemed weird as the Ms. Marvel book started...

    Sony Pictures Chairman on Ghostbusters Reboot "Haters" : "It's The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened"

    The key thing is the Hate publicity is not going to get you enough unearned publicity to shove you up to a Billion dollar franchise that the Sony top execs were expecting and were promised. At best the movie might make its costs back. But there is no way that the movie will hit what they wanted...

    Sony Pictures Chairman on Ghostbusters Reboot "Haters" : "It's The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened"

    Bay makes embarrassing popcorn movies that people will guilty watch. But he doesn't typically stand up and accuse his primary fanbase of being racists or sexists for not liking his movies. Rothman is the fool that led Fan4stic. You remember the "You're all racist" approach to selling the film to...

    Sony Pictures Chairman on Ghostbusters Reboot "Haters" : "It's The Greatest Thing That Ever Happened"

    Keep in mind that this is coming from Tom Rothman, formerly of Fox Studios. Just to give a refresher course here is Midnight's Edges take on his history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP0A-NntFU4 Yeah this guy is that bad. He is a parade of bad decisions. And this "Outrage" approach to...
