Locke & Key Season 2


Another great season of a show with a unique premise based off a comic book series that I enjoyed several collections of.
There’s a moment about half way through the season that the difference between a kid and an adult hearing spooky voices whispering to them is apparent, with the adult being freaked out by the noises and the kid acting like he was on a fun adventure. There’s some new and fun keys to be discovered, all of which have some pretty horrifying side effects or drawbacks, which just goes to show you should be careful of what you wish for.

Morbius


I remember when word came out that Sony was going to make this movie, then they hired Jared Leto in the main role, I formed a picture of what I thought the final product would look like, and with some very minor exceptions, this is exactly what I thought it would be, for better or worse. The actors are present, there’s music, some very well done special effects, Sony trying to shoe horn in MCU connections, and a plot that makes enough sense to not be terrible. The best I can say is that I was impressed with the effects, but those weren’t enough to elevate the rest of the film to be suggestable. The plot just barely makes sense, and Sony has yet again taken a horrific villain from the Spider-man universe and tried to turn him into a hero.

ComicMix will sell an UNLICENSED book of “lost” DR. SEUSS short stories now in the PUBLIC DOMAIN!


Jonathan Lane has been reporting on this whole thing since the entire fiasco started, if you go back through the posts here or there, you’ll see the entire store, it’s about 10,000 words that boil down to a disagreement on what exactly “fair use” means and what concepts a single corporation can claim it holds ownership over. IMHO it’s fine hair to split that would have been easier to manage if they had gotten permission from two of the most litigious and IP strict companies in entertainment. They fought the good fight and after one of the creators died from cancer they reached an agreement to drop the lawsuits and the book would not be published.
However…
While everyone was investigating the ins and outs of who owns what, the ComicMix folks discovered several stories written by Dr Seuss before he took that penname that never had their copyright renewed, so now they’re open to anyone to use, reprint, or most importantly, remix with whatever they think they can get away with.
