Time Drops #10: Week Of April 2, 2023

 

Article by Sean Wilkinson,
a.k.a. The Ticketmaster

Yesterday was fun, huh?
That's totally sarcastic because I worked all day. And I don't mean the usual, "I worked a shift that consumed the most productive part of my day" complaint that I have. I'm not even talking about it being April Fools Day, because that made my day actually fun. I'm talking about the kind of sarcastic-fantastic, "I worked all day" that happens when a lazy, "overwhelmed" man-child calls in "sick" thirty minutes before his shift, and I'm the only "option" to cover for him. I mean, I like money, and I'm supposed to be exploring my potential for positivity, tact, empathy, and emotionally intelligent situational flexibility, but the dude lost us hundreds of dollars in potential sales over the week and made it so I have to hunt-and-peck this post out on my phone while I'm flat on my back in bed and thinking about beer instead of sitting in a chair at a computer and not thinking about beer. So for the moment, and for the sake of my sobriety, emotional intelligence and that workaphobic, hipster nutsack can take turns biting my shiny, metal ass. Successful insertion of Futurama reference here! Unfortunate phrasing!
No, this isn't another troll post (though it's still April 1st as I'm writing this so maybe...?). And no, not everything I put in that was fake. I would like to do a Children Of the Corn series review this year (ten movies!), the "Touch Of A Button" and "Hang In There, Baby" articles will happen soon (maybe only one this week, though), and there will be something for Dragon Blog Super. The rest was just memes, parodies, and word ambrosia salad. So here's the real content schedule for the coming week:
  • Monday (April 3) - Dragon Blog Super #12: The Full Recap (Plus Preview!)
  • Tuesday (April 4) - NPO #22: Hang In There, Baby!
  • Wednesday (April 5) - GFT Retrospective #44: Dante's Inferno (Prelude)
  • Thursday (April 6) - TBT 2023: Carnage (on Tumblr, Reddit, and Facebook)
  • Friday (April 7) - Just the Ticket #123: Knock At the Cabin
  • Sunday (April 9) - Time Drops #11: Week Of April 10, 2023
Here again is my wish list of the stuff that I want to get into this year (no dates), with a few new additions:
  • Scream 6
  • 65 (Million, B.C.)
  • Cocaine Bear
  • Crawl
  • Ready Or Not
  • Creed I-III
  • Children Of the Corn (All ten!)
  • Everything, Everywhere, All At Once
  • John Wick Chapter 1-4
  • Magic Mike's Last Dance
  • Tetris
  • Glass Onion
  • Nobody
  • Nightmare Alley
  • Last Night In Soho
  • Pig
  • Nope
  • X
  • Fear Street
  • Smile
  • See How They Run
  • Cyrano
  • Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey
  • RWBY: Volume 9
  • "What If GOKU Was NEVER BORN?" (filler episode adaptations, Super Hero, and space adventures).
  • Broly and Super Hero Anime Spotlight
  • Natsume's Book Of Friends Anime Spotlight
So, yeah; there's a long list of movies I missed out on while I was doing more than think about much stronger things than beer. Progress is stalled on my "What If GOKU Was NEVER BORN?" story, which is why I'm doing a recap post this week instead (and probably returning to the Anime Spotlight the week after).

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my

Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the series. But because I wou

Dragon Blog Daima #23: Chatty

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Animeister My plan to record footage of me playing the new Vampire Survivors ' Ode to Castlevania DLC didn't pan out the way I wanted (because the update is massive -  or as MasakoX once pronounced it, which feels like a more appropriate expression, "ma- hoo -sive" - and I don't have the time, desire, or phone memory to devote to entire days of recording). But I'm still enjoying the experience of unlocking the new characters (there's a guy with a grenade launcher! A whip that explodes!), discovering the new quality of life changes (there's a map zoom now!), and exploring the environment (Dracula's castle! Hidden forest clearings! Giant bosses! Metroid vania -style progression unlocks! Platforming in a horde survival roguelike‽). And I don't think I'm even halfway done yet! So if you love playing Castlevania (or watching people on the internet play Castlevania ), give Vampire Survivors and the Ode t
