Mortal Kombat II is Neither Redundant nor Disappointing

Mortal Kombat II is Neither Redundant nor Disappointing

I Was Not a Fan of the 2021 Mortal Kombat Film...

And I had very few, if any, expectations for this one.

DISCLAIMER: Before I begin, just know I'm gonna shit on Capcom and Zach Cregger throughout, so just prepare yourself, I feel like Mortal Kombat II gave me permission, because it actually understands the importance of characters and source material. Thanks.

Look, the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie wasn’t offensively bad in the way some adaptations are. It had a couple of cool moments and didn’t completely shit the bed. But holy hell, making a non-game, completely original character the lead in a movie based on a video game series that already has over a hundred playable fighters across nearly thirty years of games? That was straight-up insulting. It never felt like it belonged. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t just insulting...

Hollywood's Last Shot: Project: Hail Mary

Hollywood's Last Shot: Project: Hail Mary

How the FUCK did this happen?

That’s exactly what was running through my head the second the credits rolled on my first watch of Project: Hail Mary, the balls-to-the-wall Sci-Fi Action adventure flick based on Andy Weir’s novel.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you already know the deal: I fucking love movies. But I also fucking hate movies now… specifically the soulless, assembly-line garbage Hollywood’s been shitting out for the last decade-plus.

They’re preachy, hateful, hopeless drivel cranked out by activists who despise storytelling, audiences, and fun itself. Massive budgets, zero passion, and political agendas so bloated they choke whatever story might’ve been there.

What I'm Working On (March 2026)

  What I'm Working On

I told myself I wasn't going to do these anymore... But...

It seems like every time I make a "what I'm working on" blog, I end up changing what I'm working on and not working on what I said at all. I hate that.

But since everything has been generally consistent for the last few months I think it's actually safe to talk about it.
