Yeah, I didn’t know Netflix does Let’s Plays now.
The more you know.

The Has Been – A digital series by Amy Jo Johnson
A teaser for a proposed digital series about an aging actress whose best days are behind her and is left with endless debts. The more this video is shared, the more likely this will get funding. I don’t know how exactly that works, but the series premise shows promise and I wouldn’t mind watching something like this on a regular basis.
But only if there’s a spin-off starring JDF.
Audiences LOVE Baywatch… But Not The Movie (Or Else It’d Actually Make Money)
Yes, I’m using a screenshot from an old episode of RAW for this thing, but I’d like to imagine the image above as the Rock telling The People that they like Baywatch… though there is a very good chance that none of those folks actually saw the movie.
So this past weekend, the Rock did a rare stupid thing by playing the whole “Critics vs. Fans” card, citing that while reviews for his new Baywatch reboot may have been shit, the fans voiced their approval loud and cleared, as indicated by the metrics over at Rotten Tomatoes… because when you need a good, solid metric on what makes a movie good, you go to a site called Rotten Tomatoes.
That’s like expecting a credible review from someone who calls himself the Angry Video Game Nerd.
Unfortunately, while audiences liked Baywatch, they didn’t like it enough to pay money for it, as the movie only raked in close to $22 million on opening weekend; apparently, that’s considered a belly-flop. The film’s budget is $60 million. So that 77% approval rating over at that Tomato site… apparently comes from people who didn’t see the film.
I’m kidding, of course… or perhaps not. It’s hard to tell since anyone can vote whether they’ve seen the movie or not. So it’s entirely possible…
Now, look. I like Rock. I think he’s a great one. And the guy can be forgiven for the occasional bomb or two along the way. I’m just scared that if they make a Baywatch sequel, it’ll be direct to video and star Larry The Cable Guy. That’s what happened with The Tooth Fairy, after all.
Why I Don’t Mind The Star Wars Trilogy 1997 Special Editions
1997 was the 20th Anniversary of Star Wars and Lucasfilm had a novel idea for a celebration; re-releasing the Star Wars trilogy for theatrical release and updating them with some new scenes and special effects. In the case of Star Wars, it was the restoration of a lost encounter between Han Solo and Jabba The Hutt… and two seconds of additional footage between Han and Greedo that has been derided for years on end. In the case of Jedi, it was new music to accommodate a couple extra bits, including our first canonical look at the imperial planet of Coruscant, which was something only touched on in novels and computer games.

You know, I was kinda hoping that I didn’t have to revive this “gimmick” which involves me railing on a certain individual for some of his acts of stupidity both online and beyond… and in fairness, I probably wouldn’t have if this piece of news hadn’t come my way… but since it’s been a while since a certain label has been attributed to one of these blog posts, I might as well go back into that mindset for this one occasion because this is just too good to pass up.
Bare with me, kids. It’s been a while since I’ve done this.
Also, spoiler warning. Hence the break.

Congratulations To Batman V. Superman for its Razzie Presence
The 37th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards has awarded their Razzies this past weekend and I felt due to give my congratulations to the very prestigious and deserving Batman V. Superman: Yawn Of Justice feature film in its numerous nominations and award wins. No doubt Zack Snyder, DC, and Warner Bros. are thrilled by being nominated for seven categories (and TWICE in one area) and winning four of them. I mean, that doesn’t take a whole lot, but goddamn, kid, that’s quite an accomplishment nonetheless.

Go Go Pee In That Cup (The Power Rangers 2017 Trailer)
Yeah, so I’m holding off restarting YouTube stuff until Friday. That way, I only have to worry about a “quick” DTM Rambles video and a pick-up video before starting reviews in February again.
Instead of a video for today, here’s the new trailer for that upcoming Power Rangers movie due in March. Where we get to see the suits in action for a brief instance… and they look okay. Nothing more, nothing less.
This looks somewhat promising, which is surprising to me considering how lukewarm I was to the idea initially. This has upgraded those feelings to somewhat cautiously optimistic. I may very well see this in the cinema – might as well since I saw the other two flicks and may as well keep that tradition going. If nothing else, the cup gag earned a chuckle, so that has to be worth something.
Power Rangers is due March 23.
Will LOGAN Be The Temporary Sabbatical Of Wolverine?
]I know it’s been said that this is going to be the last time Hugh Jackman dons the claws and stuff, but somehow I find it difficult to believe that they won’t somehow shove him into a cameo in a future X-film and somehow have him regenerate into a younger jabroni like Shia LaBeef or whichever young stud is relevant at the moment who can’t act.
And yes, I’m still referring to it as “The Temporary Sabbatical Of Wolverine” instead of its Death title. I’m still entirely convinced he’ll be back sooner than later.
Logan comes out March 3.
People Are Stupid (From Terry Goodkind’s Wizard’s First Rule)
“People are stupid; given proper motivation,
almost anyone will believe almost anything.
Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie
because they want to believe it’s true,
or because they are afraid it might be true.
People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs,
and most of it is false, yet they think it all true.
People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference
between a lie and the truth,
and yet they are confident they can,
and so are all the easier to fool.”
James Rolfe Refuses To Watch The New Ghostbusters. Meanwhile, Mike Matei Takes A Dump…
Original article can be found here.
So one guy decides he’s not going to watch or review the upcoming Ghostbusters movie and people decide to lose their shit… And apparently, this is enough to qualify as a “news” story. My faith in modern journalism would’ve been shattered and destroyed forever if it had existed in the first place. As such, I merely shrug my shoulders and go back to playing Doom…
Doom, as in the old one from 1993, not the new one from 2016 that I have no intention or desire to buy at the moment, mostly due to concerns that it won’t run well on my rinky-dink PC… the high price tag doesn’t help matters, either. Say, I wonder if this will be a news story that will flip some poop patties.
Oh, and for those who cares, there’s another trailer for this movie out and can be accessed on the same page. Haven’t seen it yet, but people say it still looks awful, so I guess that’s what we’re going with.
In other news, Mike Matei took a dump. Reports are conflicting as to whether the stool was light or dark colored. We’ll have more details as the news break out and if you believed any of this to be true, then I’ve got twenty acres of grassland in Antarctica that I’ll sell you for real cheap.
If you want my thoughts on this Ghostbusters 2.0 thing, I wrote a post back in March expressing my thoughts on it. I don’t remember what I wrote, but it must have been important enough to turn into an essay of sorts. You can check that out here.
