Big Bang Theory To End Next May… Thank Fuck For That

Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/22/business/media/big-bang-theory-ending.html

The Big Bang Theory, the most popular series among geeks for whatever reason that began way back in 2007, is going to end its run after a whopping twelve seasons… and thank fuck for that.

I remember watching this show in its early days and being rather unimpressed by it. While there was some moments of brief entertainment – anything involving Wil Wheaton of all people – for the most part, it was just an irritating show that somehow got watched by a whole bunch of stupid people and I could never get into. When I watch a show, I usually stick around because the characters are likable and maybe even relatable to a certain extent… and Big Bang Theory featured neither of these traits in any of these characters, who come off as unlikeable, self-entitled assholes and stereotypes… much like modern-day social media.

Hey, no wonder why I couldn’t get into this show!

Off To See Soyo A Stare Warz Storing

So, by the time this post is eventually published, I will be off to watch that Soyo movie… or is it Solow… wait, maybe it’s Lowblow? I don’t know… that movie and stuff. I don’t know if the viewing will entice me to do some semblance of a full-blown post or revive that slideshow movie reviews, but if nothing else, it’ll be an interesting ride to say the least. Hopefully, the end result will be an enjoyable film if not a good one.

On blog-related matters, I’m presently rendering the House Show at the moment and if all goes well, it should be up live on Youtube tonight or tomorrow. Said show will probably be featured tomorrow on the blog, so check the channel later on to see if the upload made it in one piece. There’s bound to be glitches (my first attempt in a year), but hopefully things’ll be ironed out for the next one… assuming there is a next one.

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.

Arizona Man Tried To Kill JDF At A Con

Also, there’s a video of JDF speaking on the incident.

That’s just sad.

Look, I’m never going to be a card carrying member of the JDF Fan Club given the guy’s antics, but for someone to go that far is just too much. Glad to see that he’s okay and things didn’t go farther than they did.

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.
