Now that Disney management has won its proxy battle with activist investor Nelson Peltz, let’s take a look at the Big Lie the company told to help keep shareholders on management’s side. Last month, the Mouse House released a detailed, 67-page report for investors “singing the praises of its […]
May the Fourth be with you this Star Wars Day. Americans — and people around the world — love the universe and characters of Star Wars for many different reasons, but in my opinion one of its greatest appeals is that it is founded upon and permeated with the American ethos. […]
Actor Mark Hamill made an unexpected appearance at the White House on Friday. I know what you’re thinking: “Mark Hamill?” I’m sure they could have found someone else with significantly more star power than Hamill, whose claim to fame is portraying one character in a movie franchise that first started nearly fifty years ago.

Speaking as a geek (or nerd, whichever you prefer), I, like many others, lament what is being done to beloved franchises like Marvel Comics, Indiana Jones, and, of course, Star Wars. As you may have heard from our own Lincoln Brown or our friends at Twitchy and Hot Air, […]
“In my day,” he said, leaning back in his rocking chair and taking up his whittling, “we didn’t have no ‘Episode IV: A New Hope.’ We had ‘Star Wars.’ And we were grateful to have it.” And it’s true. We were. A great deal of mental energy has been […]
Star Wars movies have sucked for a while now.
