The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare only brought in $9 million in its opening weekend. Not good, right? Well . . .

According to Disney, the purchase of Lucasfilm has more than paid off. A Forbes article has thoughts. I had thoughts on their thoughts about more shady Disney accounting. And, of course, this all was mixed up with the recent Disney Board election fight between Bob Iger wanting his yes men board members and Nelson Peltz asking for a couple of seats.

Disney vote in its Board and Disney Marvel have a new Silver Surfer. And the one surely has nothing to do with the other.

Perhaps the biggest, most glaring example of the retardedness of Bob Iger is his handling of the decline of the once-powerful juggernaut of the box office, Marvel. A studio that went 22 films over a decade with only 1 certified flop. Until Avengers: Endgame concluded the Infinity Saga. Since then, Marvel has only had 2 hits out of nine Disney Marvel MCU films. It is a decline that should have accompanied some kind of drastic reaction from the Disney CEO. Since that has not happened, I have endeavored to lay out the case that Bob Iger is, indeed, retarded.

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Part 2 is currently raking in the cash in theatres. However, how does it stack up to David Lynch’s Dune from 1984? Or the source material. I give my thoughts on the second half of Villeneuve’s Dune and do a deep dive comparing the two filmmakers’ vision for Frank Herbert’s literary masterpiece.

Only having been out for less than a full week, Dune Part 2 is already the highest grossing movie of the year.

Madame Web is turning out to be historically bad for Sony, becoming the worst performing Marvel movie of the 21st century. If you consider inflation, that might be of all time. Which is saying something given how crap Marvel was before 1998’s Blade. I talk about Madame Web’s performance in its second weekend at the box office and what is monumentally bad showing means for coming superhero movies and the genre overall.

Sony crapped the bed again with Madame Web.

Madame Web has hit the box office with a thud. Sony keeps trying to create their own cinematic universe with the Spider-Man characters they have rights to and it winds up being anywhere between meh to what-the-$%&!-were-you-thinking! Guess which end of the spectrum Madame Web landed on. I go through Madame Web's performance and some of the hilarity that has come from yet another Hollywood studio trying to make women like movies made from a medium whose audience is predominantly male.

At the end of January, The Hollywood Reporter decided that what Hollywood and its denizens needed was a love letter . . . to themselves. For the last week, I have combed the entirety of “50 Reasons We (Still) Love Hollywood and the following is my rebuttal of the vapid, silly, nonsensical, retarded, delusional, and outright blind reasons the authors of the article came up with. Strap in, this gets a little spicy.

Disney's year is not getting off to a good start.

Bob Iger’s retardation is fully manifest in his handling of Lucasfilm and the IPs that studio created under George Lucas. Star Wars has been a box office and merchandising juggernaut since its inception in 1977. In this video, I got through how Disney’s mismanagement of that studio under Iger and his coddling of Kathleen Kennedy have led to the studio’s downfall in less than a decade.

Reports seem to indicate that Millie Gibson is not leaving Doctor Who voluntarily. And production staff and cast are not being gentle about it. #shorts

Doctor Who returns this year with a new Doctor and Companion. However, there is already trouble for the beleaguered show. Millie Gibson, the new Companion, is apparently out after the first season and a little bit of season 2. Reports in the media suggested both Gibson and the new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa were not so enamored of the project that they were not looking for better gigs. This seems to confirm that impression.

The Star Wars franchise is officially dead. People would rather play around with AI art and share it with other fans than watch Disney’s crap. Even if it is AI art showing other franchises’ characters as Jedi and Sith. Let’s face it, AI art is better than watching eight episodes of Force Is Female characters crossing their arms and staring at each other.

The nature of Bob Iger’s retardation is not in his ability to close deals. Pixar shows that. Disney bought Pixar when Bob Iger was barely installed as the coup candidate for CEO after Michael Eisner was ousted. He would follow it up with other deals. No, his retardation is in the way his management style seems to encourage the hiring of creative blackholes that pump out family-repelling projects with seeming ease. Pixar’s losing streak at the box office is demonstrative of this. In this installment, we go through the powerhouse that was Pixar when Disney bought them, how losing John Lassiter seems to have drained that creative magic, and how bad the losing has gotten in recent years (admittedly aided by viruses of unknown origin about whose origin we were not allowed to speculate).

I Bob Iger retarded? I ask because Disney is being run as if their leadership is incapable of making simple business and creative decisions. I go into the animation division’s problems in this video examining Bob Iger’s current and past tenure as the head of the Walt Disney Company.

Recent events seem to suggest yes, yes he is.

The year was 2023. So I took some time to reflect on what we were presented with by Hollywood. On one hand, we got Barbenheimer, Super Mario Brothers, One Piece, Spider-Men (and woman, you sexist pig! Oh, sorry, I forgot about the pig, too!) and Godzilla done proper. On the other, there was Disney . . . everything Disney, and Willow, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Fast X, Indiana Jones, DC . . . everything DC, and the glory of filmmaking that was The Marvels. To say things were lopsided to the bad would be an understatement. But thanks to the actors’ and writers’ strikes this year, next year will be . . . yeah, that started out to be hopeful, but let’s be honest, 2024 will probably only be better because there will be less of everything out of Hollyweird as the place burns to the ground.

Now that Jonathan Majors has been fired as Kang, what should Disney Marvel do with the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Netflix released a Zack Snyder space opera, Rebel Moon, just before Christmas. It was originally pitched as an R-rated Star Wars movie to Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy. Netflix picked it up and poured a fair amount into the science fiction flick in hopes of creating their own franchise going forward. Well, did they manage it? I go through the movie and give my thoughts about this first installment.
