Just Some Lord of the Rings Fun from the Internet
The internet is a big, wild and scary place. And sometimes it can be fun. Like this Lord of the Rings song by Tom Cardy, which has been animated by Scum House Studio. Just watch, enjoy and go about your die.
I live for random stuff like this from the internet. It can bring joy. We can still experience joy. It’s just a funny bit and I hope you liked it as much as I did.

Star Wars is Getting a Full Anime
I still need to go back and watch the third season of Star Wars: Visions. I’m sure it’s just as quality as the first two seasons. But regardless, one storyline from the first and third seasons is getting turned into a full series anime: Star Wars: The Ninth Jedi.
Looks like it could be fun! So many of those Visions shorts could be full series, in my opinion. But I’m sure they’ve cooked up something fun with The Ninth Jedi. I’m a little worried at how closely it just apes existing Star Wars iconography — like the Darth Vader, the planet killer weapon and the little droid sidekicks — but I’m sure they’ve got something clever up their sleaves. At least I hope they do!
Star Wars: The Ninth Jedi comes to Disney+ on Aug. 5!
Also, check out my rankings of the first season and second season of Star Wars: Visions. And remind me to go watch the third season one of these days…definitely in time for Ninth Jedi.

6 Thoughts on Supergirl (Review)
I love last year’s Superman movie. I love James Gunn films. I love Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. So I was very excited to see the new Supergirl film. I’m excited to see a lot of superhero movies. But I have full faith in James Gunn and company to pull of a new, expanding DC Universe of movies. Superman was a great start! Let’s keep it going! Let’s have more fun!
Movie Rating: 4/10 – Pretty Bad
I wanted to like Supergirl. The online discourse is very negative around this film for the usual reasons. And if it needs to be said, I’ll say it right now: that’s all idiot nonsense. Anyone that uses the word ‘woke’ unironically — especially to bash a movie for having a female lead — is not a good person. So if it needed to be said: I am not that kind of person or pop culture afficionado. I got no problem with Milly Alcock. I got no problem with Supergirl as a character. I’m not about that life. I just didn’t care for this movie.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Supergirl. Expect FULL SPOILERS for both the movie and the comic, Woman of Tomorrow. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below!

It’s Monday. I’m on vacation. And I just this morning came across a new movie trailer that I absolutely wanted to share. And I’m gonna add on a second movie trailer for a movie I’m excited for later this summer…but this second trailer is so weird.
Anyway, let’s start off with Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, which seems to be one of those kooky adventure comedies where Hollywood just has some fun. What sets this one apart is that it’s directed by David Wain, who made Wet Hot American Summer and They Came Together, two absolutely stellar kooky comedies.
Looks fun, as far as I’m concerned. Silly premise and just seems to get kookier in the offing. That should make for a pretty fun comedy. I think I’m gonna try to find this one in theaters.
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass comes out on July 10.
Next up is a second trailer for Forgotten Island. I really, really loved the first trailer for this movie. It’s from the Puss in Boots: The Last Wish team and looks like it.
But now we’ve got this second trailer…
So, uh…that’s definitely Poochie, the rockin’ dawg. What the heck happened? The first trailer looked great, with a focus on the two girls and losing their memories on a mysterious, mythical island. Now this second trailer adds a really unnecessary sidekick, and the voice of Dave Franco just makes it…worse somehow. I also don’t like the villain. I dunno. The first trailer seemed bigger. But now it’s introducing specific extra characters that, I feel, bring the whole thing down a notch. I guess we’ll see.
Forgotten Island comes to theaters on Sept. 25.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 6/27/26
I was pretty busy this week covering a pretty cool attempted murder trial for my day job as a mild mannered newspaper reporter, so I didn’t read too many comics. Really just grabbed the ones I was most interested in from DC this week, because they continue to be amazing — comics like Absolute Wonder Woman and Bizarro: Year None.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #20 for not only a fun Hawkman spotlight but also just a damn cool superhero fight comic!
Meanwhile, no change in my love of Crimson Desert, so not much to report on the video game front. If you’re curious where I fall on the GTA6 controversies, know that I will definitely be pre-ordering the $100 Ultimate Edition as soon as I pay off some bills and have $100 scrounged up. I fully expect this game to be monumental and definitely don’t mind paying extra to get some bonus cosmetics. Beyond that, I enjoyed the second season of The Pitt and hope to watch Widow’s Bay soon. Oh! And I’ll be seeing Supergirl this weekend.
Comic Rating: Absolute Superman #20, Absolute Wonder Woman #21 and Bizarro: Year None #2.
