The promised side-sequel to "Poe-read-a-thon 2".
My mother and grandmother were big time Stephen King fangirls.
And big time tea drinkers.

Poe-read-a-thon 2!!!
Added a special surprise bonus book.
Finished all the reading on June 29th.
These were hard to boil down, so the review fought with me to begin with.
It all seemed rather pointless to keep going with it; but, I came up with a sequel idea that ties it into a memorial for Ma, so that gave me strength again.
But! Before I can get to that, I have to do this one! So, here we go!

Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Yhep, Spidey 4 got a title.
Title's been out for awhile, but it got backlogged with the long delay on my Edgar Allan Poe sequel review post.
Still chipping away at that. It'll get done someday.
The books are all read, its just the review part that's arm wrestling me.
Losing a parent didn't help.
Stuff like this is easier. Maybe this will unclog my brain faucet.
Anyhoo!

Whelp....
Even before Ma passed, I had depressions bad enough I had to logically reason myself out of bed with "if I stay here all day, I'll eventually piss and shit the bed, and that'll create another fucking bill, so I may as well get up and empty my fluids, and if I'm gonna do that, then I'm up and around, and may as well proceed with my day".
That would get me to the kitchen to eat, and to the computer.
And then part of keeping alive and healthy is keeping sane, so I gotta do my hobbies.
And that includes posting about stupid movie shit.
But it seems so dumb now.
But, Ma kept up her hobbies after Gram & Gramp passed, so....
Guess I'm doing a dumb movie post...sigh...

Seventeen years of Shmegalamonga!!!
Year 17.
Saw "Deadpool & Wolverine".
And, got it on Blu-ray.
Trump got-re-elected, and we're basically all just waiting to die. 😔😓
Hence the book reading to fill the hole.
I said last year...
There's a bunch of drama in my social media life that I don't want to talk about.
Maybe in hindsight next year after I see where it all ends up.
Whelp, short version, one of my three former friends was a transphobic piece of shit pretending to be "just asking questions", and the other two fell for his sealioning gaslighting bullshit, and jumped off the cliff with him. He's probably still dragging them down into the alt-right quicksand was we speak.
Disgusting, and depressing. They to this day think they're the victims and I'm the villain for calling that shit out.
Probably will to the day they die.
World burning down around us, and they have to get into that stupid reactionary pseudo-science trash.
Whatever. 🙄
Fucking pitiful. 😒
So!! That's that! That's what that was about!
I was hoping I could snap them out of it, but Mister Sealion is too fucking diabolical.
He ain't letting go.
He's barnacled right onto them.
Fine, enjoy each other's company. I'm out. See yah!
I fucking tried.
I'm sticking with last year's logo forever.
Good enough.

"The worst of the worst" revisited.
So, my thing on The Soska Sisters made me go down a rabbit hole of old links, and I found this old rant that made me cringe at the front of "The Worst Of The Worst".
It made me cringe in exactly the same way as my one for "Dogma" so I really have to tackle it, and make it the sequel.
So, here we go....
Wednesday, June 11, 2025
The Soska Sisters suck now.
There were red flags, but I tuned them out.

So, Troma...
So!!! Remember a whole fucking year ago now that the Toxie remake/reboot was cancelled and shelved by chickenshit distributors?
Remember how it's been two fucking years ago since it was supposed to go right out the door?
Well!! Someone picked it up, and it's back on!!!
And....I've been abused too much. I don't care anymore.

So, Ghostbusters...
I've got 5 movies, 100+ cartoon episodes, and a pile of comics. I'm good.
Same way I feel about Star Wars.
And I feel the same away about all these Ghostbusters anniversaries as I do about May The 4th.
I'm out. I'm done.
Sick of the cycle of 5 years, movie, 5 years, movie, and the 4 years between being awkward thumb twiddling.
And for what?
And for who?
Who reads this shit and cares?
I thought I was defying Trump and his CHUD-boys keeping the ATC ones going, but the CHUD boys have their hate-boners out for female Silver Surfer, and then next year, it'll be some other bullshit.
It's not even about the movie they pick on, it's their mental disease.
The movies just get caught in the crossfire of the thrown rattles from the manbaby meltdowns.
Meltdowns over....NOTHING!
Rage-farmers rile them up over shit that ain't real.
For...money. It's the new televangelism.
And speaking of man-baby tantrums over imaginary boogeymen, Trump might be slaughtering protestors by tomorrow morning (writing this at 1:23 AM on 6/9/25).
So, y'know, puts it all in perspective.
Hey!! Whether it's troops in the streets, or measles epidemics, Trump's gonna make a whole lotta ghosts! There's a Ghostbusters plot for ya, Sony!
..and it's too depressing to make funny. 😓😔
Anyway!
If another movie comes out, I'll see it, and talk about it, but I'm not gonna cover every anal little detail.
"Thank baby Jesus!!!" some of you are no doubt saying.
Yes, you're free.
I'll torture you no longer. *Head pat*. I absolve you!
I might do one of these for 45 and 50.
We'll see. But next year? Nope.
Sequels? Nope.
Exhale, everyone who was sick of this. 😏

Happy 41st anniversary, Ghostbusters!!
Previous years-
What's happened since last year....
What's happened this year....
Nothin. 😩
Piles and piles of toys. All of them first-movie based. 🤦♂️
Yawn. 😴
They're really obsessing on the fuckin' trap. 🙄
They've got a million variations on the fuckin' trap. 🙄
Frozen Empire still isn't on Starz yet. 🤨
They just keep replaying 1,2, ATC, and Afterlife forever.
I dunno, there was initial excitement for Frozen Empire, and then it just kinda fizzled and got forgotten about. I still love it. 🤷♂️ It's leaps and bounds better than 2, and people like 2 now. 🤷♂️
It's weird; these telepathic-seeming group-mind-moods will sweep through everyone but me, and there's no accounting for it. Heh, maybe it's the mood-slime. 😏
No word on Ghostbusters 5, or the animated one. Like, all fucking year. Total silence. 😒
News on those might drop tomorrow, so here's room for that...
Ghostbusters day news drops. (Nevermind, it was nothing 😒)

Happy 20th Anniversary, Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith!!
Previously-
And there it is! This is the one! The favorite of the prequels, and the new favorite period among many millennials, zoomers, and alphas.
Well, I moaned and groaned about toxic fandom enough in the other ones, so let's just avoid that topic this time, and look at the extended life this one has had in continuity.

Happy eighteenth (and (possibly) final) Star Wars day!
Stuff since last time-
-I finally realized I'm as sick of Star Wars as Carrie Fisher probably was.
-Newest thing out is "Andor" season 2, and the fans are already having doggie-paddle slap-fights about it, and I'm even more committed to checking out on that fandom.
-20th anniversary of "Revenge Of The Sith" is coming up this month. I'll have some things to say about that, and retro link it here. And that'll really be it.

That "rugged individualist" shit's been screaming howling bullshit since "Little House On The Prairie".

Well, here it is.

Retroactive post #14.
Some slight cosmetic cyber-surgery.
Gave "Coward Of The County" its own split off (slightly) expanded review, and then linked it back into "Hooray for Hollyweird".
Now the thought-train of the latter flows a little better.

I felt after part 2 that maybe I might have gotten it wrong like after "Dogma" so I thought I'd give it one more whirl to make sure.

The final quest is completed!!!!!!!!!!
From here.
11 fucking years ago!!!!!
But now, I have everything.
Except....but I don't think I can ever find this...but I didn't think I'd find the other things, so here goes.
I swear this exists, and given I've proved all the rest, you'd better just fucking believe me already....
One of the big three networks, my memory screams CBS, but it could've been any of 'em, had a special adult cartoons special, and this was like, between 1980 to 1982, because we didn't have cable yet.
It was on at like 9:00 so kids would be in bed, it was an anthology of shorts, and I only caught the last one.
It was about a tiny little boy standing on the rim of a giant toilet, and he falls in, and gets flushed.
Yeah, that was about the sophistication level of these "adult", cartoons.
They trumpeted the thing for the whole week prior, and I could SWEAR the thing was called "The Comic Strip".
I've looked for it under that name with Google, and IMDB, and nothing.
Tried key words, tried finding just the toilet cartoon, everything I can think of.
Zilch.
Early TV is kind of in a netherworld.
If it wasn't a hit that stood the test of time, or connected to a big star, it's lost.
They could have just burned the thing.
I dunno.
I mean, look at "Twice Upon A Time".
If a whole feature length film produced by George-fucking-Lucas can fall down the memory hole, nothing is safe.
No one else remembers it, people think I'm crazy.
But, they were like that about all the other things I've since found, so fuck y'all.
Anyway, that's it, this is the last thing.
I could live without it, but....I'd really like to know what it was too.
I didn't imagine it.
So, that's it, unless I find that cartoon, that's the end of all of these.
Bubye!!
I fucking found it!!!!!!
It wasn't comic strip; it was "Jokebook". I was in the ballpark.
It was 1982.
It was Hanna Barbera.
It lasted 3 episodes. 7 were produced; 4 are lost.
The kid-in-the-toilet short is called "Jerome".
Time index for "Jerome" = 16:33

Star Trek: Voyager 30th anniversary!!
Sent back in time from (3/30/25)
5 years ago, I observed that Voyager had finally found it's moment in history due to the pandemic.
Since then, Voyager's become pretty important to the Trek galaxy.
-Tom Paris and Harry Kim were on Lower Decks, and LD also did a Voyager tribute episode onboard the ship.
-Seven Of Nine was on all 3 seasons of Picard, and became Captain of the Enterprise-G.
-Janeway, Chakotay, and Holo-Doc were in Prodigy, and PROD is so steeped in Voyager lore, it may as well be Voyager-2.
So, yeah, Voyager is the torch pass to the future generation.
Go figure.
Anyway, why this is late; I was tied up in my post-Christmas Hainish-verse and Earthsea read-a-thons.
Had no estimation how long those would take.
Well worth it though.
