Dakk Reakts to: The Schwartz! (Well....with an article at least)
This is too big to be coy about…..or dance around
We are getting a SPACE BALLS sequel!
Seemingly out of friggin NOWHERE this bombshell dropped today and boy the internet isa BUZZING! MY man Mel Brooks is like 98 and still banging em out! It's quite impressive, but not only THAT but RICK MORANIS is coming out of retirement to reprise his role which is freaking uber EPIC. I mean this is just feel-good news in my book, Space Balls has ALWAYS had a special place in my heart, along with MANY Mel Brooks films. I love spoofs, I love Star Wars, I love John Candy, and this movie has all of that and more! I can keepp rambling and talking in circles but the fact of the matter is that it's REALLY happening!This is a tribute to LAIKA, the Brave space pioneer and Sacrificial lamb for Human Innovation
Even though her Launch was in November, I always take a quiet moment to remember Laika and her "sacrifice" for humanity randomly. I saw this post on a facebook page so naturally it drudged up all sorts of feelings on the topic of ethics in science and where to draw the line. This is a prime example of why science needs a leash-- if left unchecked we can rationalize all sorts of horrors for 'THE GREATER GOOD'
It’s been 67 years since she was sent into space. Not many talk about it now, but I think we should. Not because I’m a scientist or anything like that, but because it still matters.... (CONTINUE READING FOR THE ENTIRE QUOTE as well as our tribute to e good doggo)

Feeling Nostalgic, had an itch....decided to Edit old backpacking footage
I don't know what it is lately and I'm not complaining, maybe it's all of the sorting of chaos I've been doing in my head or maybe it's just a sudden strike inspiration. DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE. I just know that I've been bitten by the creative bug again lately (which feels nice if I'm being honest) and I'm going to let it take me where it needs to go. It's funny, over the last few years I've ben getting bummed about how my artistic eye is dying and how I have writer's block but with the new journey I'm on, time is allowing me to recover and reinvigorate myself.
TLDR: I got inspired last night and started editing two videos, the first one I forgot to save and my editing software FROZE on me, so I lost that (man it was a bummer, I was 3/4 of the way doen and it wasn't half bad imo) BUT I did start on another and that carried me over to this mornign where I finished it up....so here we are...

Interesting ESSAY on a very interesting film. Worth a mention.
Title says it all so don't need to add much. I should mention that I have only seen this movie twice and it wasn't really my cup of tea but lately I've been revisiting films with a less than critical/more philosophical eye so after watching this video I have decided to sit down at some point in the next few weeks and give it a rewatch with this perspective in mind. Life is about growth after all

Four Fantastic....Articles. Well updates and tidbits I guess (About F4)
The OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS READS:
“Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet.”

FANTASTIC (as previously stated) Articles that have come out this week ago the highly anticipated MARVEL SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER coming to theaters June 27th! But wait.......THERE'S MORE! I have unofficially dubbed this cluster of First Family specific media my "Multipost of Madness and, If it sticks, this may be a recurring theme in the future for theme specific content (I'm a sucker for a good name too)
I got a small theory about the movie I'd like to lay on the tabler. Well I guess some thoughts technically, it isn't fully formed enough to be considered a theory I suppose. But, uh--yeah... CONTINUE READING for what I got

Dakk Reakts to: Ironheart on Disney +
I've been waiting to do this REAKT video since I heard the rumor ab out the trailer dropping. Not because I want this to do bad or fail, but due to its production history I was genuinely curious if it was going to be good, or well look good at least, and so far I'm impressed. It's got some good elements going for it and I guess it will all come down to the story and the writing. I get the feeling that this show will have a 'created family' vibe like how firefly did with its ensemble but who knows. EITHER WAY....check out the reakt video below and CONTINUE READING

Back in the Saddle: Another Dakk Reakts to (Spoiler: it's for FALLOUT!)
It's been almost a week tot he day since I got back from my annual pilgrimage into nature's bosoms (Aka as out trip to Shenandoah National park) and I'm back to making blog posts baybay. So we got a few awesome things coming up..... First there's THIS, the reason you're here-- Fallout just dropped a teaser/first look at season 2. Now something that's a bit of an new development is the fact I may do bakk to bakk Dakk Reakts, rumor has it tomorrow the trailer for IRON HEART on Disney+ drops so if there is..... I know what I'll be doing. So without further ado CONTINUE READING for my Reakt on track.
ALSO.....as I type this I see on youtube that PEACEMAKER season 2 has a trailer as well that premiered 4 days ago (how did I miss that? Boy, what a total amateur AMIRIGHT!?)

Day 7: Bittersweet ends and the last hoorah
Trail: Pt.2 of a Custom trail (a mix of the AT & the Pocosin trail)
Length: Estimated ~2.7 miles
Elevation: 400ft
Time: 8:33- 9:32 (on the dot I want to add)
So I write this from the backseat of our vehicle on the 10 hour journey home. Fresh off of the last hike and I gotta say, THAT WAS A TOUGHIE. We wanted to push hard and fast and we did. For the most part the elevation was good to us, but there were some stretches where it got brutal for a second. The worst part is that we had limited water, due to the location of our campsite and the custom route we took we prepared for a zero water scenario. That part was fine but there's something mentally taxing about knowing you're low on water...... Either way though we hoofed it and made it back AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

Day 6: Packing out to a Custom Trail
Today we do the unconventional. Today we enter the backcountry. Today the warm boys are in search of the perfect spot to spend the night with sweet Mother Nature.
Trail: Custom (a mix of the AT & the Pocosin trail)
Length: Estimated ~5.1 miles
Elevation: 550ft
Time: 11:52-3:20
Today was going to be a great day for me...... today is the day I planned to have my annual check-up with the universe. When we make camp.....I'm taking Psilocybin baybay :-) aquired LEGALLY in the City of Ann Arbor for the record.

As mentioned….. if you read my previous post….. Today we got a double outing planned. With potentially imminent rain we wanna knockout one of our more challenging treks because it is strongly advised against to do with wet rocks due to slippage….. (and sine I’m writing this afterthefact I’ll tell you this, it is definitely certain to do in unsafe conditions)

Always count on movie toys to spoil: Our first look at GALACTUS (ty LEGO)
I can't remember EXACTLY when it started but I think it was IRONMAN 3 with LEGO. If memory serves me correctly, which to be honest probably isn't the case, the twist with the MANDARIN was loosely spoiled with a toy set or maybe it was with Killian being the Mandarin. IRRELEVANT. I definitely know that I can recall endgame and beyond though. This is all funneling to a point here, that if there is secrecy is a marvel film you can always rely on the toys to spoil it. TONY'S Stark GAUNLET, The timesuits for example found themselves on shelves before the premieres....But you can't blame marketing for that because they have one job....MAKE AND MARKET products and tie-ins that SELL.
Today some photos have emerged that gives us a (comic accurate) tease of GALACTUS! That's right, I said it. No bloating and no build-up..... we got the pics!!!! continue reading if you would like to know

"Predator Kills the Marvel Universe"-- Wait....I'm sorry what? Can we back that up please
“That title? It’s not misdirection. This one’s gonna hurt. Your favorite heroes and villains will fall, even as others rise up against this extinction-level event. The Predator King is here. The Yautja are armed with Vibranium. And Earth is now a hunting preserve.” -Benjamin Percy via SuperHeroHype.com
That's right FOLKS, We got an announcement today for the finale of the PREDATOR CROSSOVERS and it appears to be an EVENT of epic proportions. Written by Benjamin Percy and illustrated by Marcelo Ferreira (who also illustrated Predator vs. Spider-Man.)

Mega POST: The Star Wars Celebration (2025)
This Article was published on APRIL 21, 2025.......as you can see from the picture above me, Star Wars celebration has come and gone. It was great too. I personally didn't stay up for all the news (Shoot, I live halfway across the world and got kids......I just caught the highlights on the stuff I missed and youtubed it all), but I got caught up to speed. WE got some SWEET projects in the pipeline too. I both love and hate how the FELONIVERSE is starting to occupy all the space in star wars but time will tell how well that web is weaved. If you CONTINUE reading you'll get a rundown of the big reveals over the last weekend in TOKYO as the best week in STAR WARS concluded. BOOMSHAKALAKA

Fingers crossed its just 'DRIVE' in space-- Ryan Gosling joins the Star Wars universe
Disney/Lucasfilm announced yesterday the official details for Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie, which stars MY BOY.....Ryan Gosling. so now we got:
The title, release date, and plot. Which im suuuuuuuuuuper jazzed about. If you know anything about me you know I got a man crush on Ryan Gosling and objectively also think he is a very talented actor. Lost River is a great modern day fairy tale but that has nothing to do with this. This is Star Wars
Production on the highly anticipated project is expected to begin sometime this fall. Now officially titled Star Wars: Starfighter, the movie is described as a stand-alone adventure that will take place five years after the events of 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. According to the studio, “it is an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet.”-source: Superherohype.com

Dakk Reakts to: $h!takes in internet comment sections
Well hello there ladies and gents, another day.....another controversy from BUTTHURT purists.
In a turn of events not at all shocking a new Fantastic Four trailer dropped and something we already new was revealed-- SILVER SURFER IS FEMALE!!!!! the horror (for some). Not surprising at all since Julia Garner was announced, what, over a year ago, but some people still had to find a reason to be mad about it. Nevermind that FF: First steps takes place in an alternate reality and nevermind that Garner is playing the Shalla-Bal, spouse of the Original Surfer (In the OG run Norrin Radd became the herald of galactus to save his world and protect his family) I'm sure none of that has anything to do with it. None of this has really anything to do with where I'm headed towards though..... Because my REAKTS video is just me being triggered by some slimey j@<k@s$ who is seemingly obsessed with the fact that new movies are WOKE because they don't have big boobs in them anymore.... seriously.... that's it. I probably should be "better than that" but today I'm not, and its weird when creeps choose the dumbest hills to die on. So without further ado CONTINUE READING TO here to do a rare thing and throw some specific and earned shade
To be mentioned Later............. Two Upcoming projects.

Dakk reakts to: THE NAKED GUN reboot teaser
So this has been in the works for a while and I have a sneaking suspicion that they're gonna go the sonic route here and blow our socks off with quality.....on the surface having Liam Neeson reboot TNG and be Frank's son sounds like a LEAP buuuuuuut honestly I'm here for it. I'm all about this, I love the tone of this trailer.
