So now there's about a dozen films that you can't legally watch because a drug company decided that the money they would make from selling or licensing them is too small for them to bother.
Anyway, sure, Apple should buy Disney. Whatever.
Fun Trivia: the original 70s STEPFORD WIVES film is unavailable in any current format because in the 70s a lot of companies with too much money diversified by buying film companies. Most soon realized what a bad idea that was, but Bristol Myers held onto the rights for some reason.
“You like who we tell you to like, and you will stomach what we tell you to stomach. And if the country slips into fascism, it’s the fault of the people with the least power.”
This of course implies that Charlton Heston played Columbo in two feature film spinoffs that inexplicably ignored most of the TV show lore despite being nominal remakes of episodes.
Two days ago I had never heard of PRAGMATA.
Today I know that it is both somehow the anti-woke game that will save the industry, AND that it is a pedophilia simulator because men are incapable of feeling love or compassion.
And I am now sick of hearing about PRAGMATA.
Back to mundane posting, and I really wish one of my Co- workers would figure out that the coffee makers in the breakroom are restaurant grade, not home use, and don't have a drip shut-off feature when you remove the carafe, because I am tired of cleaning up huge coffee puddles on the counter.
I guarantee you anything Tucker Carlson will say about Israel can also be said by someone who is not a virulently racist, transphobic, homophobic douchebag who will defend Palestinian lives only as long as they stay in what he considers to be their designated part of the world.
I've seen so many "real Iranian women dont look like that" posts about this, which is also just flat out racist.
Screencap in anticipation of block or removal.
At least one of the women is Bitta Hemmati, who has been sentenced to death by Iran. Most of the other women also appear to be real people who have been arrested. The claim that they are AI generated appears false.
He does enough stupid shit we don't need to make up things.

Hey, Vecna had some good points.
This isn't the first time I've seen this combo and. every. single. time. it is the most unhinged Blue Maga nonsense you can imagine.
"Which ones?"
You know *exactly* which ones and I'm not saying because they both attract insane term searchers.
Saw someone talking about how Dems need to get "tougher on immigration" with the least surprising/most cursed combo of national flags as the PFP that I'm pretty sure the sight of it just triggered this migraine.
That may be part of it, but all the expensive people were already gone and they're bringing them back. I can see someone who understands sunk costs finally taking a close look at Marvel as an investment.
The only sense of enthusiasm i get for these films is from people who continually complain about things being "woke" and they're just hate- watching.
My gut feeling is that this is where Disney learns what a "jumping off point" is...
The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Honestly I'd rather walk into a comic shop and see a dozen long running niche comics of no interest to me than yet another attempt to make YOUNGBLOOD happen.
One seems more like a sign of healthy market than the other.
I misread a post and thought someone was talking about FEMFORCE, which made me wonder if it was still being published, and the answer is "apparently" and good for them.
In this market, anything running that long is worth respecting.

Tonight in DRAGONBANE, after being nearly wiped out by a giant demon dog, the party gave chase rather than try to heal, which landed them in the middle of a labor dispute amongst a band of orc mercenaries. Then a ghost told them the macguffin was in a different dungeon, basically.
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
COME TRUE
It wasn't great to begin with but it had the most insufferable "fuck you for watching this" ending ever.
Read 20TH CENTURY MEN, and I dunno, I guess every half-way decent comics writer has to get their edgy reimagining of world history with super-heroes in it for some reason out of their system at some point.
One thing that is always reliable about California politics: if a group is sinking Marvel movie budgets into one side of a ballot proposition, that is 100% the evilest thing you can imagine in disguise.
Im enjoying the annoyance preview for the two figures from an upcoming wave i want that sold out at every retailer i can find before I started collecting...
