There! All up to date!!
Why Doctor Strange? I said it in the review; it's so chock full of ED Easter eggs and callbacks, it may as well be Evil Dead 3.5.
Well, with ED2013 canonized, I guess it bumps up to 4.5.

What I read this year (2023).
I said then...
Next, the Sandman comics, and then I'm gonna hurl myself into my own book.
Says the me of 2022.
We'll see where we are when we come back here next year.
Stay tuned!
I'd say I'm coming along pretty well with that.
Plus, I collected the Sandmans, and got and read "The Exile", "The Overneath","The Way Home", and "A Fine And Private Place".
And now, after six years, I won't do this anniversary anymore.
It's in the rearview.
Loot and literature can cover it now.
To the future!

Story deletion.
Deleted "The Vengeance Saga", AKA "The Emergence Saga", AKA "Hello again, and goodbye again, Harry Hembock".
It felt cathartic at the time of writing it, but the longer it was up, the more cringe it felt.
Someone might say "if you killed that, you ought to kill this, and this, and this...".
Yeah, but then I'm doing mutilation surgery on the whole blog, which is what stopped me killing "Vengeance Saga" all this time in the first place.
Finally, I was like, fuck it, the other stuff is scars, but that's gangrene for sure.
So, I finally cut out the gangrene.

Happy 20th anniversary, Freddy vs Jason!
Been awhile since I celebrated this.
The 20th seems about right to give it a bump.
My review 20 years out?
Still like it.
The super-saturated color makes it like a comic, and it actually kind of blends with the aesthetic of the 00's pre-MCU Marvel movies.
Right down to the cheesy 00's metal soundtrack.
Daredevil, Punisher, Ghost Rider, FvJ, they're all of a weird little time capsule sub-genre.
FvJ is as much an 00's time capsule as the other Freddys are an 80's time capsule.
Oh, the WAY I enjoy it has changed.
I appreciate it with a lemon bite of irony and humor, and some big thick nostalgia goggles, where as a 20-something I un-ironically thought it was in the pantheon of cinematic greatness.
But yeah, I'll definitely go to my grave having a pet-like affection for this weird little movie.
Lessee, what happened in the Freddy/Jason franchises since the 14th anniversary?
Scream Queen came out.
Even though it's doesn't connect to FvJ, it connects to "Never Sleep Again" which covers FvJ.
Um, yeah, that's it.
Freddy & Jason have been frozen in a block of ice since their respective flopped reboots.
I don't know why.
Sony didn't fuck around with Spider-Man, they kept trying.
I dunno what New Line/Warners is waiting for to revive these characters.
The hunger for 80's nostalgia horror is there.
The Chucky series, for Chrissakes!
Maybe they think if they use actual Freddy & Jason, it won't be nostalgic, and ironic, and hip?
Freddy has always been about meta, and self-parody, and dark humor.
The layering of self awareness had started kicking in by the third and fourth entries in the series.
It was on overload in six.
Friday/Jason was goofing in itself by part 4, but really went all out in 10.
And I repeat, the Chucky series, fer Chrissakes!!
Oh, yeah, Robert Englund played Freddy one last time in a dream sequence in an episode of "The Goldbergs".
Well, New Line??!!?!?
WELL?!?!!?
Didn't Adam Goldberg having to pay a fee for Freddy to cross into ABC/Disney territory indicate some fucking interest?!!?
No!?!?
So frustrating.
Well, I've got the existing flicks, including this one, and my memories.
Just woulda liked a Freddy 8, or Jason 13 before I croak.
Especially with superhero media granting all our nostalgia wishes with "No Way Home" "Multiverse Of Madness" Deadpool 3, "Crisis On Infinite Earths" "The Flash" etc, etc.
They get it!!
And I double repeat, the Chucky series, fer Chrissakes!!
Take the goddamned hint!!!
What do the suits need to see??
Ah, well.
Happy birthday, FvJ.
You come from a time when horror fans dreams came true, and faith and perseverance were rewarded.
Who knows if/when that time will come again?

Meanwhile, in Sony-Spidey-land!
I heard about this awhile ago, but there was no hard confirmation.
The news outlets were wishy-washy.
Well, now an interview in Variety drives it home casually like it was the weather.
So, here we go.....

That connection just got a booster shot!

Okay, so a few weeks ago, it became known that Elektra is going to be in Deadpool 3.
The actor's strike shut down any further news, so let's play around with that knowledge.
This canonizes Daredevil and Elektra into the MCU multiverse.
So!! if you're a newbie bingeing all this stuff...
