Wish that could have worked on me the past few days. I know why I had trouble sleeping last night and I’m guessing on the two nights before. It’s a combination of afternoon naps, a weird reaction to the temperature change between seasons, and other elements. I’m hopeful for tonight but it means I don’t even have an idea for this week’s Jake & Leon. Sorry about that. I could use the practice. I also didn’t get to do anything for this week’s Clutter Report.
In unrelated news, having to manually update Twitter with each new post is getting to be a pain and I know as soon as a system gets worked out, WordPress’ parent company and Twitter are going to work something out. Meanwhile WordPress and Tumblr now have the same parent company so at least those updates work. I’m considering whether or not to open a BW related Facebook account because I don’t know if it will see any other use than marketing. I’ve disconnected my personal account since I don’t want to befriend the world and I don’t know if I can even get the auto-update to work with it. Only my family and friends would see them anyway and I already mention the site now and then, not being sure if they’re checking either BW Media Spotlight or The Clutter Reports out. They have lives, you know.
As for what’s happening here this week, I think I’ll be looking at two chapters of Batman: Knightfall part 2 tomorrow. I also may have an interview tied to the Tron 2.0 tie-in comic as we reach the last issue this week. I’m running out of this year’s Free Comic Book Day offerings for deeper review but I’m also getting near the end of my physical comic library outside of the Sonic comics from Archie, and the ComiXology library isn’t that far behind. How that will affect the daily comic reviews I haven’t determined yet.
Have a great week, everybody. Pray I get some sleep tonight.











Transformers: Rise Of The Final Concerns
The time is coming. Next week Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts will hit theaters and we’ll finally learn if the movie is any good or if any of the early concerns I had will come to pass. Well, as I’ve been trying to make some headway in the YouTube backlog being sick gave me I came across a video by TJOmega from April that introduced a few concerns about the upcoming film.
This alleged prequel has already shown issues of continuity errors, but I found another TJOmega video that shows this isn’t new. The continuity of the live-action movies has been so screwed up that you start to realize why new Marvel Studios contributors hate the shared universe idea…because they can’t keep continuity straight with one series! It shows a level of not caring about not just the franchise but general storytelling and previous writers that continues to betray the Hollywood ego: my story is all that matters even when it’s a group project.
So let’s look at these two videos as TJ goes over potential problems going into the seventh Transformers film and I’ll thrown in a few thoughts of my own. After all, it’s still my website and he’s not even making content for my site. He makes content for his own YouTube channel that I linked to above and you should totally check it out. He’s also reviewing some of the early toy releases for the movie.
