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.

First Look At The VR Troopers Reboot!

From Entertainment Weakly… er, I mean, Weekly comes your first look at the new VR Troopers reboot film that nobody knew was filming and thus was a total surprise. They’re not bad looking, but I’m somewhat confused by the decision to expand the Trooper team from three members to five. Also, I don’t get the reason why they modeled the Troopers’ colors off that other Ameri-toku-esque thing that’s more popular and stuff, but this picture surely has me excited for that VR Troopers movie.

Now if only Lionsgate can get around to showing the suits for the upcoming Power Rangers film, that would make things even sweeter!

Ghostbusting 2.0

Been sitting on this for a while… and well, here’s my five cents on the matter.

So let me preface this by saying that as far as the first two Ghostbusters films are concerned, I kinda like ’em. They’re not films that I would hold on any high pedestal like most older folks would, but they’re funny films, they’re quotable, they’ve got memorable moments and characters, they’re well made films with some wonderful visual effects, all the usual buzzwords you’d associate with much beloved classics of the era. And of course, there’s the timeless catchy wonderfully 80s theme song by the legendary Ray Parker Jr. Suffice it to say, Ghostbusters is a cherished franchise by those who grew up during its prime years, some clearly more devoted than others.
