Star Trek 4 announced (again), cast clueless about it!? What is going on...

 

While I really enjoyed the Kelvin Star Trek movies, I can see why the interest in the movies was waning.  Each movie lost a bit of the BO, and the last movie was a bit of a bomb.  This probably had to do with the fact ST: Beyond was a bit too TOS episode-like.  It does seem strange that Paramount announced a new Star Trek 4.  It seems so odd to announce another sequel some seven years later.  I like most of the Trek movies, but the franchise was always stronger on the small screen.  The writing and character development work better on the TV screen.  

Since Paramount and CBS are back together, why not take the Kelvin Universe to TV with a miniseries?  Take that budget and cast and make it a six-part series.  Star Trek is always stronger on the small screen, Paramount. You can still make your money from merchandise.

Unless Paramount pulls out all the stops and makes it a universe-bending movie, I don’t think they’ll get the general audience back.  That means bringing in Picard, Sisko, and Janeway.  I don’t see that happening.  

Anyway, this announcement makes no sense. 

Jeff Sokol Update...for me to poop on.

Jeff Sokol is one of those preds that fascinates me to no end.  He is arrogant and dumb at the same time.  Every new fact I learn about him makes my day.  I love learning all about him from time to time.  Sokol is my “starter kit” for introducing people to Chris Hansen and TCAP.  

Here is another new fact about our pizza-loving clown.  

Some people have mentioned that perhaps Sokol was a bit of a troublemaker in prison.  Someone on Reddit discovered that Sokol got in a bit of trouble for not listening to a guard’s orders and received a 15-day ban on rec-time.  He probably sat in his cell dreaming about pizza.  

The other thing I wanted to bring up is that Jeff, allegedly, has been reading his wiki page and defending himself in the comments under the name Jerjerrod77.  He went as far as vandalizing the Sokol wiki page.  This stupid action got him banned.  

Could it be a troll?  Well, the name, as mentioned in the wiki post, is from the Star Wars movie ROTJ.  Sokol is less of a nerd/geek and more of a beta-sports nerd instead.   However, Jerjerrod77 seemed to only defend Sokol at every turn and even switched some of his “he”s to “I”s a few times.  We also know that Sokol is fully aware of the mocking he receives from the Internet.  With his ego, I can see him being deeply bothered by the wiki page and going in and changing the page.  Keep in mind, he wanted to fight his case and change his name.  I’m leaning toward JerJerrod77 being Jeff Sokol. 

Please give me coke English Lesson..uh skin-flute?

 

When you ask for a coke, you get something flesh-colored instead.  Lady, asking for that is a lot more different from a tasty beverage.  It might be tasty to you if you’re into that sort of thing.  Does this lady know she is Internet famous and a meme? 

Just say cola or drink, because the other word is something completely different.

Michael Seibert and his chatlog. I smell a rat...

 

"i am jack off" as stated by the scholar Micheal Seilbert.

His rat-like appearance and blank expressions make Micheal Seilbert a memorable predator on the show.  However, hearing Baked Salmon read this rat-man’s chatlog.  It is truly disturbing to hear him force the decoy to talk about her underwear and anal sex.  His simple and stupid chats are strange and dangerous.  

Keep in mind that Seilbert was the fool that showed up in two different stings, on two different episodes of TCAP.  All he could say was “Ewps”.  I truly believe that Seilbert would have forced himself onto a real girl, given his chatlog.  Luckily, he would spend 3 ½ years in prison.  After being released, he lives under the watchful eyes of his parents.  Skip Tracer says that he has been in and out of the hospital. 

Can someone throw this rat a piece of cheese or something? 

Zoe Quinn: Pretty good video on her

 

I try my best not to talk about Zoe Quinn more than once a month, if that, but a YouTuber named Spooky Weebtrash has done an amazing overview on the controversial Zoe Quinn.  I explained Quinn to a coworker that had never heard of her.  Despite all the bridges she’s burned, and she burned a lot, she still has powerful friends and white knights.  With all the questionable things she’s done, the journos will not talk about her.  

I still find it interesting that Lindsey Ellis got booted from the Internet and no one will speak up or white knight for her, but all hands on deck for Zoe Quinn. While the Zoe Quinn brand has been diminished, she still has power.   Anyway, make sure to check out Spooky Weebtrash’s video.  

Side Note:  The Chuck Tingle videogame still hasn’t been updated since August 2018.  

For shits and giggles, here are a few comments left by backers of her abandoned Kickstarter.  ((William Goswick

Why has there been radio silence for such a long period of time? Please either post an update or offer refunds, because this otherwise has the unfortunate appearance of being a scam at this point… I would be really surprised if Kickstarter allowed this too.))

GarfieldEats | The Unusual Story of Nathen Mazri (So Entergaging!)

I had no idea that this strange theme restaurant, but not really, existed.  The notion of a restaurant revolving around Garfield seems limited.  I used to really love Garfield, but even I can’t see this idea being a long-term thing.  After watching this video, it almost seems like a strange fake meme, but it is completely real.  It appears the restaurant finally died just a few months ago, back at the end of 2021.  

After discovering this, my eyes have been opened.  (Shaka when the walls fell…)

Nathen Mazri, the founder of this insane IP, is something to behold.  He is like the Steven Seagal of bad ideas.  Holy shit, this guy is amazingly cringe-worthy.  Please, check out his farewell video to the company.  It is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.  I honestly can’t tell if Mazri is trolling us all or truly believes his own bullshit.  That’s why I like him.  

Check out his Twitter for more cringe moments. 

 

 

Space Jam - Lola Bunny's Voice Change

 

Sometimes, studios do stupid things for no good reason.  I was listening to a podcast that was reviewing Space Jam 2, and they mentioned that the studio recorded and then replaced a professional VO actress for a non-VO actress.   

From IMDB, ((Kath Soucie had been set to reprise her role as Lola Bunny, and had all of her dialogue recorded. But for unknown reasons, she was replaced by Zendaya during late post-production.)) 

What was the point of bringing in a new actress for the part?  WB actually had the original actress from the first movie, played her from then on to record the movie…fully, and then replaced her with Zendaya. Kath Soucie originated the new character of Lola Bunny in the first movie and played her since.  

 

You can recast all you want.  Almost the entire Space Jam 2 cast consists of different VO actors.  However, why hire and pay Soucie and replace her, hiring another actress?  Basically, you paid for the voice of Lola Bunny twice.  Just hire Zendaya from the get-go and go from there. 

BTW, the old Lola is completely different from the one in the new movie design-wise. Maybe that was the reason for the recasting. But, why hire Soucie in the first place?

It sort of reminds me of the Jetsons: The Movie recasting.

Side Note: Good move not to have R Kelly do another version of his song for the second movie. Then again, he was in jail, awaiting trial.

 

Heather McDonald collapses on stage

 It almost seems like part of the bit, but it appears it wasn’t.  You can clearly see her hit her head hard on stage.  Prat-falls aren’t like that.  It almost seems God has a sense of humor.  BTW, the crowd thought it was a bit.  The doctors don’t know why she collapsed.  Anyway, she does have some injuries, a skull fracture, but she seems to be okay. 

US Capitol Arrests: Aaron Mostofsky aka the caveman guy

You might remember the dude that dressed like a caveman and entered the building.  He was the son of a New York judge.  After being easily identified and doing interviews while in an act of a federal crime, he was arrested last year.  I didn’t really look into him after that.  Other than his meme name (Caveman), he also goes by Aaron Mostofsky.  

A year later, Caveman Aaron has agreed to a plea deal with the federal government.  They are misdemeanor charges.  Given that his father is a judge, he probably told his caveman son that he didn’t have a chance of receiving a “not guilty”.  Basically, Caveman Aaron gave the feds a slam dunk.  After watching him being interviewed, I am guessing the court is going to take it easy on him.  He is on the Chris Chan level.  

One more thing… Why was he dressed like a caveman?  Because he dug up an old GEICO meme/ad about the cavemen.  From MSNBC, ((“the fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election was so obvious, even a caveman would know the election was stolen,”))  Yes, the ads from 2004.  Real smooth, douche bag.  

 

David Arquette falling through stage on WCW

I could watch this clip every day.  This is probably David Arquette’s best and most entertaining performance in the WCW.  From what someone said, another person fell through the “gimmicked” stage and Arquette didn’t see it and fell right in, disappearing.  For me, I’d like to think Arquette missed the mark and went through the stage, but it does look like the hole was already there.  If you listen carefully, you can hear screams and laughter as he falls through.  I love that the commentators don't even mention David or the botch.

I would like to thank Wrestling Bios for bringing this major botch to my attention. 

TURBO A POWER RANGERS MOVIE : We need to talk about Divatox's outfit

Let’s talk about boobs.  Mainly, Divatox’s boobs.  I am more into a female’s face and behind, but I can appreciate some boobs.  However, the DT guys are right about the focus on boobs for a kid’s movie is a bit strange.  Back in the day, I never noticed how much the camera lingers or leers at Divatox’s figure throughout the movie.  I mean, they really go in on her boobs.  Damn.  

From the Wiki page, ((Divatox's revealing outfit is one of the reasons the film received a 'PG' rating instead of 'G', since the film was targeted at a child audience to begin with.))

I am not complaining, but clearly, the producers knew what they were doing. Hey, I am not costume-shaming. I am sure that outfit breathes, and I wouldn't kick Divatox out of my bed.  

Hilary Shepard is the woman behind the character of Divatox.  She is a bit of a genre actress because she was in both Star Trek DS9 and Power Rangers Turbo.  Most Trekkers will know her as Lauren in two episodes of DS9.  She was stunning too.  She also did a few nude skin-flicks on cable, such as Private Retort and Weekend Pass.  So, if you want a full look at Divatox nude, here’s an NSFW link…for research purposes.  

Anyway, I do remember them really toning down her costume for the actual TV show Power Rangers: Turbo.  The custom isn’t as revealing.  

Side note: Carol Hoyt would play her early in the series, but Sherpard would return later on. 

Karen: Leaving a Karen Note Part 2 of 2

Let me remind you that when a person is crossing the parking lot ot the road.  You need to yield for them, especially, a woman!  White or black! 

Apparently, you needed a reminded (sic).   

Have a nice day! 

So, there you have it.   I read it and laughed.  Finally, I received my first angry Karen note.  I was in the wrong, but to be so focused on what I did, and the race factor, means I lived in her head rent-free.  I love that I can piss people off and think nothing of it until a Karen note.  Remember I was listening to a podcast about Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes and forgot about this Karen.   

Here is the thing, Karen; I treat everyone the same despite their race, religion, or sexual orientation. I treat everyone like shit.  I am an asshole, and I am aware of it.  I don’t go around town trying to piss off white women because they’re white.  I don’t care about you on a basic level.    I don’t believe in going around disrespecting white women.  I disrespect everyone.   

However, I love the fact that I pissed this Karen off so much that she had to load her bags from her cart, fish around her purse for a pen, find a paper, and write an angry Karen note.  The black or white comment is like a humble racist jab at me.  It also reveals her racism in believing that every black is doing it to stick it to the white women.  Sorry, Karen, you are not that important.    

Here is the best part.  I keep her note in my wallet and show it to my friends and colleagues for a good laugh.  In my 40+ years, I’ve been Karen-ed before it was a meme, but never during the meme craze, and I love it.  I’ve probably shown 20-plus people the Karen note.  Some are shocked by it, while others laugh. 

  

Would she have left a letter, if I were white?  Would she have put that black or white comment in there?  Or how about my gender?  I think it pissed her off more about me being a black man cutting her off and wanting to “put me in my place”.   

Have a nice day, Karen.
