Gavin McInnes: “Rogue One is going to flop.”

Gavin McInnes of Rebel Media shares my foreboding of Star Wars: Rogue One. Dear Hollywood: Please stop shoving social justice "homework" into movies and TV.  The forced diversity in every new show and film is just fake. Women don't fantasize about being "badass," and casting token black guys is just…

Fisking Kotaku’s Anti-Conan Hit Piece

Monolith has a Conan board game coming out, and it looks totally sweet. Their customers agree, because the Kickstarter to fund the game has raised over three million dollars. Robert E. Howard fans will soon be mowing down miniature plastic Picts like wheat. Or they would if it weren't Current…

Infogalactic, Planetary

Infogalactic, the major fork of Wikipedia which, unlike its predecessor, is dedicated to cultivating objective fact instead of suppressing it, had my support from day one. Writing professional grade SFF takes more and broader research than you might expect, and it's become readily apparent to anyone with a shred of…

Unpersoned by Twitter’s Deep Shadowban

Unpersoned by Twitter’s Deep Shadowban

Having written before about Twitter's nasty penchant for censoring and outright banning users who deviate from the company's rigid left wing ideology, I fully expected the Twitter thought police to come for me. Milo Yiannopoulos warned as much. I just didn't expect them this soon. Late Friday afternoon: friends on…

Over the Target

Over the Target

Denizens of Reddit's deepest bowels have taken umbrage at my observation that Hollywood is now a propaganda machine. You heard it here first ladies: your existence in popular media is propaganda. Even though TFA became one of the highest grossing movies of all time and was pretty much universally well-liked,…

When Is a Movie Not a Movie?

When Is a Movie Not a Movie?

When it's a cynical propagandistic cash grab. Actually, we can scratch the last part now that Ghostbusters 2016 has failed to beat the opening weekend domestic box office take of Ghostbusters II. Here are the numbers Ghostbusters II: $29,472,894 (June 16, 1989) Ghostbusters: $46,000,000 (July 17, 2016) At first glance I seem to have…

Reminder: There’s No Voting Our Way out of This

[Note: this post was originally published on 12/18/2015. In light of recent events, it seemed expedient to repost it.] A previous post on how the tide is turning against legacy media and its Leftist bias drew commenters who rightly observed that I offered no solutions for the current political crisis.…
