Leave a Comment / 80s and 90's, A.I. / By

In the vast landscape of online creativity, a captivating and foreboding phenomenon is taking root – the re-emergence of Dark Fantasy. Once confined to the shadowy corners of niche subcultures, this genre is now experiencing a resurgence in the digital realm, captivating audiences with its mystique, intricate storytelling, and a penchant for exploring the depths of human nature. The Dark Fantasy Renaissance: Dark Fantasy, a subgenre that fuses elements of traditional fantasy with darker, more ominous themes, is undergoing a renaissance online. Unlike its earlier manifestations in literature, contemporary Dark Fantasy is finding new life through various digital mediums, from literature and webcomics to podcasts and interactive online experiences. The internet has become the breeding ground for storytellers to weave intricate tales that push the boundaries of imagination and delve into the shadows of the human psyche. Digital Platforms as Catalysts: Online platforms provide a fertile ground for Dark Fantasy to flourish. Writers, artists, and creators are leveraging websites, social media, and specialized platforms to share their works with a global audience. Webcomics, in particular, have become a favored medium, allowing creators to combine visual artistry with compelling narratives to create immersive and atmospheric worlds. The Allure of Dark Fantasy: What draws audiences to the realms of Dark Fantasy? The genre’s resurgence can be attributed to its ability to offer a nuanced exploration of human emotions, morality, and the interplay between light and darkness. Dark Fantasy often blurs the lines between heroes and villains, creating morally ambiguous characters that challenge conventional narratives. In an era where audiences crave more complexity and depth, Dark Fantasy provides a canvas for creators to paint in shades of gray. Interactive Storytelling and Gaming: The rise of online gaming and interactive storytelling platforms has also played a significant role in the resurgence of Dark Fantasy. Video games like “Dark Souls,” “Bloodborne,” and “The Witcher” series have garnered massive followings, immersing players in dark and fantastical worlds where choices have consequences. Online storytelling platforms like Wattpad and storytelling apps offer writers the chance to engage readers in interactive narratives, fostering a sense of community around dark and immersive stories. Global Collaboration and Community Building: The online space facilitates collaboration among creators from different corners of the world, contributing to the evolution of Dark Fantasy. Digital communities on platforms like Discord and Reddit provide spaces for fans and creators to discuss, share, and celebrate the genre. This sense of interconnectedness has fueled a collective passion for Dark Fantasy, fostering a supportive environment for creators to push the boundaries of the genre. As we navigate the digital landscape, it’s evident that Dark Fantasy is experiencing a powerful resurgence, finding new life and relevance online. The genre’s ability to captivate audiences with its intricate narratives, morally complex characters, and immersive worlds positions it as a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary creative sphere. As creators continue to push the boundaries of Dark Fantasy in the digital realm, we find ourselves on the cusp of a new era—one where the shadows hold as much allure as the light, and the fantastical becomes a canvas for exploring the depths of the human experience. 13 November 2023 The Resurgence of Dark Fantasy: A Reckoning in the Online Realm 13 November 2023 Disney’s Dirty Secret: Bowel Woes Emerge in Theme Park Queues 13 November 2023 Wonderland Unveiled: A Dive into Justin Hackney’s AI-Generated Cinematic Wonderland 08 November 2023 Robert Pattinson’s Astonishing Vocal Transformation in Studio Ghibli’s ‘The Boy and the Heron 08 November 2023 The Truman Show: Antarctica as the Ultimate Allegory for a Hidden Reality 08 November 2023 It’s Dangerous to Go Alone: The Legend of Zelda Movie is a Reality 08 November 2023 Silenced Hero: Bruce Willis’ Battle with Aphasia and Dementia 07 November 2023 The Interdimensional Influencers: Unveiling the Multiverse Manipulators 07 November 2023 The Galactic Conspiracy: Is Jar Jar Binks a Secret Sith Lord? 07 November 2023 Fear and Loathing in the Age of Desolation: America’s Grim Downfall and the Specter of World War III

101 Dalmatians Has a Dark Sequel I Bet You've Never Heard Of

101 Dalmatians Has a Dark Sequel I Bet You’ve Never Heard Of – The Twilight Barking

Leave a Comment / 80s and 90's, Movies / By

Disney’s animated classic “101 Dalmatians” was, in its own right, a bit of a dark horse. Or perhaps, in this case, a dark dog. Cruella de Vil’s obsession with fur coats made even the most hardened of Disney fans raise an eyebrow. But despite this subtle darkness, Disney played it safe with their live-action adaptations, sequels, and animated spin-offs of the 101 Dalmatians franchise. It’s time for them to take a leap into the shadowy abyss and adapt the 1967 novel, “The Starlight Barking,” into a darker, grittier sequel that probably never heard of. The 1961 animated masterpiece introduced us to the lovable Dalmatian duo Pongo and Perdita, who embarked on a harrowing adventure to save their spotted offspring from the fur-loving clutches of Cruella. But Disney couldn’t resist the lure of creating their own sequels and spin-offs. They even dared to venture into the world of live-action, with Glenn Close taking on the iconic role of Cruella in “101 Dalmatians” (1996) and “102 Dalmatians” (2000). And of course, let’s not forget the plethora of animated shows and spin-offs, like “101 Dalmatians: The Series.” It seems like Disney was content with milking this cash cow by keeping things light and kid-friendly, but seemed to pass over the true successor to the 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians. Most people don’t know, lurking in the shadows was Dodie Smith’s “The Starlight Barking,” a novel that, unlike its predecessors, takes the 101 Dalmatians saga to a much darker and enigmatic place. This novel picks up where the original left off, with Pongo and Perdita basking in domestic bliss. But little do they know, they’re about to embark on an interstellar journey that takes them and the entire canine world to new heights, both literally and metaphorically. One morning, our beloved dog couple woke up to the most peculiar of phenomena: every living thing, except for dogs, had decided to hit the snooze button indefinitely. While humans and the rest of the animal kingdom were in a deep slumber, our four-legged friends found themselves in a rather unique predicament. They weren’t plagued by hunger, thirst, or weakness. Instead, doors, gates, and machines obeyed their every command. To top it all off, the dogs suddenly gained the power of telepathy, allowing them to communicate with their fellow canines from miles away. It’s a bit like a twisted dream, except that it’s all too real.   Amid this topsy-turvy world, Cadpig, Pongo and Perdita’s 12th and smallest puppy, (Previously had been given as a gift to by Roger to the Prime Minister) had taken her master’s reins in the humans’ absence, decided it was high time to rally the troops. She sent out a distress signal to her parents, Pongo and Perdita, summoning them to London. The city was bustling with hundreds of dogs eagerly awaiting Cadpig’s sage advice, for it seemed like the dogs were the only sensible creatures left.   Our furry friends soon discovered that they had a new superpower – the ability to “swoosh.” They could hover at breakneck speeds over the ground. Pongo and Perdita, with their wits about them, selected a crack team of fifty Dalmatians, including their adult pups Patch, Lucky, and Roly Poly. The squad embarked on a “swooshing” adventure to the heart of London, escorted by a pack of no-nonsense Police Dogs. Their destination: the hallowed grounds of 10 Downing Street, where political hounds and top dogs were convening.   In a bizarre twist of fate, Cadpig and her Cabinet, a canine collection of the human Cabinet’s loyal pets, huddled for a meeting with the Dalmatian duo. It was a gathering that could only be described as “pawsitively” extraordinary. Amidst the discussions, Roly Poly found himself a kindred spirit in George, the Foreign Secretary’s Boxer. Together, they embarked on a whirlwind adventure that would make tails wag.   As the story unfolds, two sharp-eared Fox Terriers catch wind of the General (The Old English Sheepdog from the animation) barking. The General has some news, revealing the impending arrival of his owner’s son Tommy, the farm tabby Mrs. Willow, and the esteemed White Persian Cat. These three had earned the title of “honorary dogs” after the events of the first book, and now, they were among the awakened.   When they finally hit the bustling streets of London, the White Persian Cat, with a glint of vengeance in her feline eyes, suggested that Cruella, the notorious antagonist, was the puppeteer pulling the strings behind the bizarre sleeping epidemic. In a chilling mission with claws unsheathed, she led a pack of determined dogs to Cruella’s lair with murder on their minds. But, to their eerie surprise, Cruella and her husband slumbered as soundly as any other victim of the canine-induced somnolence. Instead of fur coats, Cruella now dreamed of metallic plastics. The animals, choosing the path of mercy, spared her life and made their way back to Downing Street.   Just as you thought the twilight had revealed all its bizarre secrets, the television crackled to life, and an unsettling Voice echoed through the silence. It ordered the dogs to assemble in open, starlit spaces by midnight. But how on Earth, or in this case, in this topsy-turvy canine carnival, could they pull off such an odd command? The answer lay in Twilight Barking and thought waves, a method as peculiar as the circumstances themselves.   In the heart of Trafalgar Square, Tommy, the felines, the Dalmatians, and the General converged with thousands of other dogs, preparing for whatever peculiar climax this surreal story had in store. When the clock struck midnight, a strange euphoria washed over them, followed by a chilling dread. And then, like a character from a cosmic nightmare, Sirius, the Lord of the Dog Star, appeared atop Nelson’s Column.   Sirius spun a tale that was equal parts alluring and sinister. He revealed his loneliness, extending an invitation to the dogs to escape the potential horrors of a looming nuclear future brought …

Lego Jurassic Park: The Unofficial Retelling

Did LEGO Ruin This Timeless Classic in This Unofficial Retelling?

Leave a Comment / 80s and 90's, Movies / By

Jurassic Park, a timeless classic and benchmark of a fulfilled childhood came out 30 years ago now. ( I know, like you needed another reason to feel old, right?)  One might say the only way to tarnish the love of this classic would be to do something crazy like try and remake it. Or would it?  That being said, LEGO has gone and done something insane. Peacock’s newly announced retelling of this 90’s childhood staple looks like they may have hit the mark. All your favorite scenes have been revisited with the added bonus of LEGO’s well known blocky comedic style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD5-YliPTAY Timeless scenes to stir your nostalgia are all here, like when the crew first sets eyes on the megalithic Brachiosaurus going bipedal to much the tops of trees, the iconic gates opening when they first enter the park, and the kids hiding out from raptors in the park’s kitchen. But some scenes seem to have an added lighthearted spin. The scene when the JP jeep is getting chased down by the main antagonist Mr. T-rex (Or I guess it would be Mrs.) Dr. Ian Malcom avoids being eaten with the help of a well placed lego brick. It seems even a colossal prehistoric beast has a weakness to stepping on them. In an earlier, well-known scene, the Lawyer isn’t so lucky. He still gets eaten off the toilet, but not before building his poop tomb brick by brick. A detail we cant ignore is the genius choice to have the fan favorite Dr. Ian Malcom narrating this unofficial retelling of what happened on Isla Nublar: “From the comfort of his living room and after finding his personal journal, the ever charming and now slightly older Chaos Theory Mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm retells the tale of what happened that dreadful night at Jurassic Park. As only he can do, Dr. Malcolm finds a way to add his own unique humor and style to bring this harrowing story back to life. A theme park destination filled with living dinosaurs for family and kids to enjoy – what could possibly go wrong? Absolutely everything…just as he had predicted!” If only we all aged as well as Jeff Goldblum.Lego Jurassic Park: The Unofficial Retelling releases on Peacock on October 10th just in time for the spooky season.    The only downside we can see is it might leave us wanting more. With a runtime of just 22 minutes we’re left wondering if they couldn’t have done more with the source material. But we think even Steven Speilberg would be proud of this remake of one of his most popular films.  09 October 2023 Did LEGO Ruin This Timeless Classic in This Unofficial Retelling? 17 March 2023 DiCaprio has Already dubbed Scorsese’s Newest Film a Masterpiece 16 March 2023 Trigun Stampede: Breathing New Life into a Cult Anime Classic 13 March 2023 The Story of The Creepiest UNSOLVED TV Hack in History 13 March 2023 List of the top 10 best Nintendo Switch games currently available 11 March 2023 BEETLEJUICE 2 Reportedly in Development with Tim Burton, Michael Keaton, Jenna Ortega, and More 10 March 2023 Fan Theory: Pirates of the Caribbean: Elizabeth is a Goddess of Death. 09 March 2023 Everything Coming to and Leaving Hulu March 2023 09 March 2023 Everything Coming to and Leaving Netflix March 2023 09 March 2023 Everything Coming to Disney Plus March 2023

The Story of The Creepiest UNSOLVED TV Hack in History

Leave a Comment / 80s and 90's, Television, Theories / By

    The Initial Incident Our story begins on a pretty normal evening back in 1987. The people of Chicago were just hanging out, watching their favorite sports reporter, Dan Roan, on WGN TV channel 9. All was well, until suddenly the signal was disrupted and screens all across the city cut to black. Can you imagine the chaos that ensued? Engineers at WGN TV were scratching their heads, thinking their transmitters were failing. But oh no, it was much worse than that! Just a few seconds later, something truly wild happened. What happened next is straight out of a sci-fi movie! It turns out that WGN TV’s broadcast signal had been hijacked in what is now famously known as the Max Headroom incident. Yes, you heard that right! Max Headroom, the quirky and futuristic computer-generated character, had somehow taken over the airwaves and was causing all sorts of mayhem. Can you imagine the shock and confusion of the viewers? It’s like something out of The Twilight Zone!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKnwhokvgxE Well, the folks at WGN TV may have been quick on their feet, but unfortunately, the ‘Max Headroom incident’ wasn’t over yet! Just two hours later, another TV station fell victim to the same hijacking, and this time, there was no stopping it. It was like the ultimate prank, but with much higher stakes! What happened next is the stuff of legend and one of the most bizarre unsolved crimes in television history. So, my dear reader, let’s buckle up and find out why this incident has become such a wild and enduring mystery! Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what happened that fateful night! At precisely 9:14 pm, something strange happened on WGN TV. The sports reporter Dan Roan disappeared, and everything went black! But just 15 seconds later, things got even weirder. Suddenly, a hacker wearing a rubber mask and sunglasses appeared on the screen, and guess who he looked like? None other than the iconic artificial intelligence television character, Max Headroom! This new version of Max didn’t say a word, but that didn’t make him any less terrifying. Can you imagine the shock and horror of the viewers watching at home? It’s like something out of a sci-fi horror movie! You can imagine the relief when the folks at WGN TV were finally able to bring Dan Roan back on the air after that harrowing ordeal. It took about 30 seconds, but their technicians were able to switch up the frequency and get things back on track. Dan did a great job of keeping his composure, but you could tell he was shaken up! He even quipped, “Well, if you’re wondering what’s happened, so am I! Actually, the computer that we have running our news from time to time took off and went wild.” I mean, I don’t blame him for being a little spooked, do you? The Second Incident The engineers over at WGN TV were convinced that the ‘Max Headroom incident’ was an inside job and started tearing apart the studio in search of the perpetrator. I mean, who wouldn’t want to catch the person responsible for such a wild prank? But here’s the kicker – they didn’t find anyone! Turns out the pirate broadcast was pre-recorded, and the signal was hacked by a third party. Somehow, this mysterious third party was able to intercept the WGN uplink and push their own signal through the TV station’s antenna on top of the John Hancock building. Talk about some seriously high-tech hacking skills! But, wait, there’s more! The TV pirates weren’t done yet. Two hours later, during a Doctor Who episode on PBS Channel 11, ‘Max’ made a comeback, and this time, he had lots to say!      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqgeM6rWSkw During their second performance, there were no engineers on duty at all. Yep, they had all gone home for the day, leaving the transmission to play all the way through without any interruption! And when it was finally over, the signal was returned to Channel 11, like nothing had ever happened. But, of course, that wasn’t the case! Barely an hour later, the FCC and the FBI launched an investigation that would turn the entire television industry upside down. The hunt for ‘Max Headroom’ was officially on! Can you imagine the chaos and confusion that must have ensued? It’s like a wild goose chase, but with a rogue TV character as the culprit! This is one investigation that no one could have seen coming! Who is the Real Max Headroom?   Ah, Max Headroom – a name that was on everyone’s lips in 1987! For most TV viewers back then, the face of Max Headroom was instantly recognizable. He was hailed as the world’s first-ever computer-generated TV host! How cool is that? Max Headroom first made his debut in the cyberpunk TV movie “Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future,” which was broadcast in 1985. And believe it or not, he even had his own show on the air at the time the hacks occurred! His show ran on Channel 4 in the UK and on ABC in the US from 1987 to 1988. But sadly, all good things must come to an end. The show was eventually cancelled when it was beaten in the ratings by the oh-so-popular “Miami Vice.” Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. Max Headroom was not just any ordinary TV host – he was a bona fide cult sensation! After his show got cancelled, he went on to host a late-night talk show on Cinemax, and he even starred in a few TV specials. That’s right, folks – he was on his way to becoming a full-blown 80s icon! Now, the story of Max Headroom takes place in a dystopian future. In this world, television networks have taken over the world, and even the government itself is controlled by these all-powerful network executives. These guys are so obsessed with keeping people glued to their screens that they even pass laws to prevent …

The Mask – A Metaphor for Alcoholism?

Leave a Comment / 80s and 90's, Movies, Theories / By

Could the 1994 film ‘The Mask’ be a metaphor for Alcoholism? Some fan’s of this classic 90’s movie suggest that it might. At the beginning of the film, “The Mask,” we are introduced to the main character, Stanley Ipkiss, who is a meek and mild-mannered bank clerk. Stanley describes himself as a “nice guy” with a miserable life. He has a job, but he lacks the confidence to stand up for himself or pursue his dreams. However, his life changes drastically when he discovers the mask, which has the power to transform him into a charismatic and invincible persona. The Mask acts as a metaphor for the effects of alcohol, as it lowers inhibitions and amplifies our innermost desires. When Ipkiss wears the mask, he becomes a suave and confident ladies’ man, with no fear or shame. He is free to express his true self without any consequences, just like when we drink and lose our inhibitions. However, just like with alcohol, the effects of the mask can be dangerous and unpredictable. Ipkiss becomes impulsive and reckless, engaging in dangerous and criminal behaviors, from robbing banks to aggressively pursuing Tina Carlyle. He loses control over himself and his actions, just like when we drink and become aggressive or violent. The movie illustrates the consequences of losing control and giving in to our inner demons. Most times when Ipkiss wakes up from an outing with the mask, he appears just as most people the morning after drinking too much. He appears hungover, with a fuzzy recollection of the previous night’s events, and he is generally horrified by his actions. Moreover, The Mask only works at night, just like alcohol mostly works its magic at night. Most people perceive drunken behavior as disturbing during the day, but at night, the same behavior can make you the life of the party. This suggests that our perceptions of acceptable behavior are influenced by our environment and social norms. When Ipkiss is asked how the mask works, he explains, “I don’t know… It’s like it brings your innermost desires to life. If deep down inside, you’re a little repressed and a hopeless romantic, you become some sort of a love-crazy wild man.” This statement highlights the power of our inner desires and how they can drive our behavior, even when we are not aware of them. It also suggests that we need to be mindful of our desires and understand how they shape our actions. However, Ipkiss warns that in the hands of Dorian Tyrell, the main villain of the movie, the mask will be extremely dangerous. This suggests that just as with alcohol, the mask can be harmful when used by individuals who are already inclined toward violence and criminal behavior. Finally, when Ipkiss decides he doesn’t need or want the mask anymore, it keeps coming back like the temptation to drink, either as a social crutch or full mask-oholism. This highlights the addictive nature of the mask and the difficulty of letting go of our inner demons. In conclusion, “The Mask” is a cautionary tale about the dangers of losing control and giving in to our inner demons. The movie illustrates the effects of alcohol, as it lowers inhibitions and amplifies our innermost desires, leading to impulsive and reckless behavior. It also shows the consequences of such behavior, from regret and shame to criminal charges and violence. Therefore, we need to be mindful of our desires and understand how they shape our actions, and we need to practice self-control and moderation when it comes to alcohol and other intoxicants. 24 February 2023 The Mask – A Metaphor for Alcoholism? 24 February 2023 PTSD in Back to the Future Part II & III: Marty’s Emotional Reactions 24 February 2023 Harry Potter & the Cursed Child’ in Development – Will the Trio Return? 24 February 2023 Middle-earth Magic: New Lord of the Rings Movies in the Works! 24 February 2023 Despite Drop in PC Sales, NVIDIA Soars with Impressive Q4 2023 Report 24 February 2023 Crawling for Crypto: The Juicy Story of a School’s Secret Crawl Space Mine 24 February 2023 Cyberpunk 2077 Update: Better Police and Cars! 23 February 2023 HBO Announces Green Light – ‘IT’ Prequel, “Welcome to Derry” 23 February 2023 Atomic Heart’s Debut Beats Hogwarts Legacy in Steam Sales 17 February 2023 The Matrix and Terminator Connection: Exploring the Alternate Timeline Theory

PTSD in Back to the Future Part II & III: Marty’s Emotional Reactions

Leave a Comment / 80s and 90's, Movies, Theories / By

Back to the Future is one of the most beloved film franchises of all time, known for its iconic characters, timeless humor, and thrilling time-traveling adventures. However, one Reddit user, u/lowrestextures Suggests that beneath the surface of this beloved trilogy lies a darker theme that has gone largely unnoticed by many fans: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the first film, Marty McFly witnesses the violent murder of his friend and mentor, Doc Brown, at the hands of terrorists. The traumatic event leaves a deep imprint on Marty’s mind and memory, leading to a range of emotional reactions in subsequent films. In this article, we explore the possible impact of PTSD on Marty’s emotional reactions in Back to the Future Part II and III, and how trauma can influence the way we react to future situations. What is PTSD? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. Traumatic events can include physical or sexual assault, natural disasters, serious accidents, or the sudden death of a loved one. PTSD can cause a range of symptoms, including flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance behaviors, heightened arousal, and mood changes. PTSD in Back to the Future In the first film, Marty McFly witnesses the violent murder of Doc Brown by terrorists. Although the way the murder was depicted on screen was relatively tame, in reality, it would have been an extremely graphic death. We know that Doc Brown ultimately survives the attack by wearing a bulletproof vest, but Marty would still be affected by witnessing the violent shooting the first time. The experience of witnessing a traumatic event can cause a range of psychological reactions, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and a general sense of helplessness. Marty might also experience symptoms such as flashbacks or nightmares of the event, avoidant behavior or thoughts related to the event, and heightened arousal and reactivity (e.g., being easily startled, irritable, or on edge). In the second and third films, Marty is accused of being a coward by other characters, potentially triggering feelings of shame, humiliation, and powerlessness. These emotions may be especially intense for Marty given the traumatic experience he witnessed in the past. Trauma and Emotional Reactions Traumatic events can leave a lasting impact on a person’s mental health and can influence the way they react to future situations that are similar to the initial trauma. The brain’s response to traumatic events is complex and not solely dependent on the objective facts of the situation, but also influenced by a range of other factors, such as the individual’s personal history, cognitive processes, and emotional reactions. In Marty’s case, the traumatic experience of witnessing the violent shooting of Doc Brown in the first film could have contributed to his emotional reactions in the second and third films. Traumatic events can leave a lasting impact on a person’s mental health, and it’s possible that the impact of trauma was still affecting Marty in the subsequent films. Emotions like shame and humiliation are often closely linked to trauma and can be symptoms of conditions like PTSD. People who have experienced traumatic events may be more prone to experiencing these emotions, which can be difficult to manage and may trigger intense reactions. Conclusion In conclusion, it’s clear that the traumatic events in the first film could have contributed to Marty’s emotional reactions in subsequent films, and that the impact of trauma can be long-lasting and complex. While it’s impossible to say for certain whether the filmmakers intended for Marty’s emotional reactions to be linked to his traumatic experience, it’s important to recognize the potential impact of trauma on mental health and the way we react to future situations.
