Just the Ticket

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster. There are countless movies, television shows, video games, and other media with Bloodline or Bloodlines in the title , and it's a fairly common subtitle for horror movie sequels. It's even more common than setting a horror sequel in space ! Just look at Hellraiser: Bloodline , Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines , Tremors 5: Bloodlines , Pet Sematary: Bloodlines , Day Of the Dead: Bloodline , and of course, today's movie up for review (if you couldn't tell from the post title, the thumbnail, or this week's Zenescope - Omnibusted ), Final Destination: Bloodlines . One would think that a horror movie sequel that has been in various stages of development for fourteen years with three credited writers, modern Warner Bros. in charge of distribution, the SAG-AFTRA strike delaying filming, recurring actor Tony Todd passing away, and the directors of Kim Possible and the WWE Leprechaun movie ( Zach Lipovsky & Adam Stein ) b...

Review by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Sinful Ticketmaster. Happy Juneteenth , Ticketholders! As a fractionally indigenous—but not enough of any tribe to qualify for reservation status—and mostly Caucasian child of the 80s and 90s, I must admit that I had never been educated on the holiday despite it being centuries old. Sure, I learned about the American Civil War and slavery, but until I got into high school, I had never been taught beyond the perspective of that Winston Churchill quote , like, it was always taught as just the Civil War, as if civil wars didn't happen anywhere but America and comic books , with a focus on things that happened, the dates they happened, and the famous white people who did them. Black and Asian Americans were just groups of people that bad things happened to (unless you were a smuggler or you invented peanut butter or something). If you wanted to learn that ending slavery didn't instantly fix white people or make things better for minorities, you...

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Omnibuster. Death never takes a vacation, Ticketholders! That is, unless he takes it from the living.... In belated honor of the release of the new Bloodlines entry, I thought I'd take a break this week (still puns!) from Grimm Fairy Tales to look at one of Zenescope Entertainment 's early side projects: Final Destination ! They've done a few licensed tie-ins over the years, including Spike TV 's "we have The Darwin Awards at home" masterpiece, 1,000 Ways To Die , a two-"Season" continuation of the original Charmed , and Se7en . They even did a bit of their own, legally distinct,  Final Destination -esque storytelling with the No Tomorrow series (which I will get to eventually). But the company's short partnership with New Line Cinema began in 2006 when they released a One-Shot, limited edition comic that was bundled with seventy-five thousand release day copies of Final Destination 3 (the multiple-choi...

Article by Wilkinson D. Sean, Master Of Tickets, Meister Of Anime. I've yet to watch an episode of the ridiculously long Dressrosa arc, as I've been going back through the Punk Hazard episodes to capture screenshots for this review, so expect a long wait before the next piece of the One Piece Multi-Piece . As I said in the June 8 edition of Time Drops , I'm focusing on My Hero Academia next. After departing Fishman Island and engaging in some filler that I kind of wish I had watched because Giant Luffy (and according to Totally Not Mark in his 100% Blind Review , the anime episode from Fishman Island where they resurface amidst what could be Laboon's old pod, and which was marked as Filler , is the opening of this arc in the manga), the Straw Hats have returned to the surface (still with no Jinbei, and not heading straight for Big Mom as we were promised before, and therefore sailing aimlessly at the whim of Nami's new, multiple choice Log Pose and Luffy's d...
