We thought they were trying to own it, not live it.
Over at The Clutter Reports this week I moved forward in the comic digitizing mega project. This article mostly goes over the scanning and file creating process I’m going with in case anyone else wants to use it on their projects, whether they’re scanning comics or their medical records or something.
I’m hoping this is going to be a nice, productive week. We have the new “Yesterday’s” Comic schedule back on, the first Chapter By Chapter for Star Trek: The IDIC Epidemic, and next week I have stuff going on at the end of the week, so if I can prep for that it would be nice. I’ve been wanting to get back to My Transformers Universe for awhile now, but this may or may not be the week for it. Depends on what comes up.
Have a great week, everyone!
Well, whether you want to declare Doctor Who canceled…again…or on hiatus there won’t be more TARDIS travels for a while. There are still options to watch the show. The 24/7 streaming channel is available for free on numerous livestreaming services. Tubi has all the available episodes as of this writing, minus the first miniseries due to weird rights shenanigans. YouTube’s official Classic Who channel Doctor Who: Classic | FULL EPISODES has…full episodes, but just the ones whose arcs are edited into movies. AMC+ will soon house all the pre-Disney New Who shows while Disney+ still has the new ones. There’s also still comics being produced, Big Finish Productions…and what we’re showcasing tonight.
Fans who also want to be filmmakers are cutting their teeth on adventures of the Doctor, profit free but showing their love for the Doctor. There were a bunch of these in the so-called “Wilderness Years” where new stories came from novels and comics, and they didn’t stop when the show came back. Tonight I decided to give them a little attention. None of these have the current BBC or Disney budgets. They barely have Classic Who’s budget. They also can’t legally make money from it. They did it because they wanted to be part of the legacy of Doctor Who.
I’m not posting a full arc if there’s multiple episodes, just a recent episode to see where they are now, except for the first one because it’s a regeneration episode and the title seemed good to start with. You can decide if you like it enough to check out more and see if they get better or even do better than the official showrunners who had something other than making good Doctor Who on their minds, like their own egos or playing to a different crowd. Enjoy.
I have not seen Masters Of The Universe as my income still remains $0.00. Maybe when it hits free streaming I’ll get the chance. I’ve heard mixed reviews even from people usually on the same side of modern media discussion. Some say it’s good, some say it’s garbage, and some are in the middle. For once it’s not split among the usual lines. Not that it matters since the movie itself failed to make back its budget and marketing on opening weekend, which is usually all the studios care about. Which is why it’s strange when Amazon’s MGM is hoping to make it back in merchandising and streaming over the long term. It might be cope but at least it breaks the “opening night or bust” trend.
There’s another argument out there due to how poorly it did, the idea that nostalgia is dead and nobody wants to see this stuff anymore.
Look, I get it. Studios are too afraid to take a risk on new IP, even though YouTubers are starting to show you can do that with three low-budget horror movies based on YouTube content or made by creators with fresh ideas doing well in the box office without an overblown budget, and the current crop of directors and producers and screenwriters couldn’t care less about old stuff. Studios want the big names rather than take a risk on some new guy who might actually care about the show, comic, game, or whatever to do it properly. Studios don’t pay attention so the directors slap something famous onto the movie they really want to make and the studios aren’t paying attention. THAT is the problem. I can point to plenty of old stuff to prove that. Humans really don’t change THAT much without force.
Melting the gun AND blowing it up. Seems like extra work.
Slam-Bang Comics #1
Fawcett Publications (March, 1940)
Since I’m saving the Captain Marvel Shazam stuff for pre-DC Tuesday Wednesday after I’m done with Quality’s entrants, there isn’t much of a showing from Fawcett on Golden Age Friday. This comic might change that…if it’s any good. It’s of course an anthology, but a new one. That’s all I can say to pad the homepage. Let’s get into the actual review.

BW Media Spotlight 
BW’s Saturday Article Link> When Hobbies Become Work
I don’t mean when your hobby turns into a career. This article by Bleeding Fool contributor Ammie Barger goes over what happens when just doing your hobby becomes more work and induces more stress than the job that the hobby is supposed to be giving you a break from. That includes playing video games, watching TV, and other forms of entertainment, story related or not. Just ignore the ad link about drug gummies. I don’t know why they stuck that crap in there, but it’s just one part of one sentence.
