Thank you G & G!

Just saw the series finale of Better Call Saul and it was top shelf. I could not have asked for a better final episode. It went places I never expected, was bitter sweet and what else can I state? Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould hit the ball so far out of the park I am in awe of them. Thank you.

Why throwing fire at IPs simply does no good for anyone in the long run.

You mad bro? If you want to make a point, don’t watch The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. Big corporations are like politicians, they care only when business is threatened and so if those who don’t want to see it, abstain, that will eventually speak louder than words. Just let it happen. I for one want to see it with my own eyes first before I judge it, but I can state I don’t like the creative choices. Female dwarves have beards as seen in The Hobbit. Alas Christopher Tolkien is not here to protect his father’s legacy and I think he was not pleased with how The Hobbit films came out and they are not as good as the LOR trilogy, but might be worlds better than what we are getting here. You know in the 1990s when Star Trek: Voyager introduced Tim Russ as a black Vulcan, no one gave him grief and he did a good job considering Voyager for me was never quite as good as TNG or DS9. So what if the actors they hired actually are very good at their jobs? Are you going to give them grief? No you won’t because it is the story that is what you are passionate about. Well you know using Star Trek as an example, there were diehard fans of TOS who were reluctant to embrace TNG when it first aired in syndication in the USA, but you know by the third season the series found itself and now that is the benchmark by which Star Trek is measured. Now I don’t like the new Treks on Paramount Plus, but I recognize they are not being written for me and if they want to run it into the ground, I still have what I loved growing up. Tolkien’s books still exist and no one can bastardize them. It is like when they ask Stephen King about the amount of movies based on his work that are horrible, he replied the books are still here. So you know you can have a fit of outrage and maybe that is your deal. There is such a thing as organized opposition you know? Not that you are, but I don’t know you and you don’t know me and you know I hope if it sucks as bad as people say it will that people will just not watch. That is how you win. Not by protesting. Getting angry and engaging the actors involved. You want to make a statement simply don’t watch it. If you read this far you are a patient man. Thank you.

This is actually a comment I wrote to an angry YouTuber and it stated everything I feel at the moment about toxic fandom and corporate manipulation and I think the best way to make you voice heard is not to get angry and don’t react. Instead don’t watch it. Just let it be. Believe me if you don’t engage then it will stand or fall on it’s own and that is fair.

Tales Of The Walking Dead Anthology TV Series Review



They grab, tear, scratch and bite into whatever they can indiscriminately at anything alive. Then if there’s enough left, the victim reanimates and does the same. Considering what zombies do to their victims while still alive, the idea of someone standing there and resigning themselves while stating “Just get it over with,” seemed shocking. This scene caught my attention in the teaser. Now that I have seen the first two episodes of AMC’s Tales of the Walking Dead, it is best to look at them as one off comic book issues where anything can happen. Are all of these considered cannon? I miss the old days when Frank Darabont was guiding the show. He brought humanity to the horror/drama that remains unparalleled. For what it is, Tales of the Walking Dead is a variety bag of different flavors of storytelling that acts as filler to tell stories set in that world one would not see anywhere else. At this point I think AMC could broadcast enough Walking Dead related content to fill up a year without repeats provided people still want to see it. Tales of the Walking Dead airs Sundays on AMC with new episodes streaming a week early on AMC+.

Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm

 

Get on the Case November 8, 2022

With The Release on Digital, 4K Ultra HD™ & Blu-ray™

 

BURBANK, CA (August 6, 2022) It was announced today at the Adult Swim Festival by Aqua Teen Hunger Forcecreators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro that an all-new mystery-adventure with Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad is on the way! The all-new original movie titled Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm is coming to Digital, 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray on November 8, 2022from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. This is the second film adaptation inspired from one of Adult Swim’s longest running animated series – Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm is priced to own on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack (USA $39.99 SRP; Canada $44.98 SRP) and Blu-ray (USA $29.98 SRP; Canada $39.99 SRP) as well as on Digital. Preorders will be available on August 7, 2022.

 

Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm will also be available on Movies Anywhere. Using the free Movies Anywhere app and website, consumers can access all their eligible movies by connecting their Movies Anywhere account with their participating digital retailer accounts.

 

Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm features everyone’s favorite rascals, the Aqua Teens: the brainy Frylock, the mouthy Master Shake, the loveable Meatwad, and everyone’s favorite perverted neighbor, Carl, as they split up then get back together to fight everyone’s favorite corporate overlord, Amazin, led by everyone’s favorite tech mogul, Neil (voiced by everyone’s favorite Peter Serafinowicz) and his trusty scientist sidekick, Elmer (Paul Walter Hauser, who is everyone’s favorite).

 

“Maiellaro and I are excited to finally bring book IIV of the Aqua Teen Plantasm series to the big screen that is little and inside your house. It’s funny and entertaining and it has colorful drawings that move about in a rapid fashion, but not so rapid as to cause seizures,” said Aqua Teen Hunger Force co-creator and executive producer Dave Willis. “Luxuriate your eyes in our updated animation! Revel in the mature themes and coherent storytelling! This is not your grandad’s Aqua Teen! Also, this movie has no superheroes in it. That is the Aqua Teen Hunger Force guarantee: no superheroes! No star war stuff either. If you’re looking for a star war or a yoda, this is probably not the movie for you. Do you doubt me? Watch the movie. And if you don’t like it, you have no taste and your “hot take" is not one to be trusted. I just trolled you, son. Now tweet @adultswim with your pointless rage. Bring the thunder!”

 

Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm stars Carey Means (“Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “The Brak Show”) as Frylock, Dana Snyder (“Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “Squidbillies”) as Master Shake, and co-creator Dave Willis (“Squidbillies,” “Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell”) as Meatwad. The film also stars Peter Serafinowicz (“The Tick”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), Natasha Rothwell (“White Lotus”), Robert Smigel (“Bob’s Burgers”) and Tim Robinson (“Detroiters”). The movie was written and directed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro and produced by Williams Street Productions. In 2023 Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm will also be available for streaming on HBO Max and will air on Adult Swim.
