FAIL: Why Haven’t There Been Sequels to Who Framed Roger Rabbit August 28, 2015

FAIL is back, and it’s back in a big way. For those of you unfamiliar with this series, it’s a chance for us to take a look at Hollywood’s biggest failures, both on the screen and behind the camera.
After already speaking about popular franchises like Superman and The Terminator, Maniac has now set his sights on something a little more personal. After being inspired by YouTube creator The Dom and his fantastic series Lost in Adaptation, Maniac decided to set his sights on one of his favorite films of all time, the 1989 classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit. When it was released it was one of the most groundbreaking and successful films of all time, and yet in all the years since its release it never received a sequel.
Turns out there’s a very complicated reason why.So sit back and relax as Maniac gets to the bottom of why Disney never produced another Roger Rabbit movie even though scripts were made, money was set aside, and the actors were willing to come back. Prepare yourselves to hear a story of Hollywood at its worst.

Microsoft officially released Windows 10 to heavy fanfare on July 29th, 2015 and any user with a legitimate (non-enterprise) copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8 is eligible to upgrade their computer to the new Operating System completely free of charge.
So how did this upgrade process go? Take a look at this video below to find out. Spoiler alert, that icon that’s been taking up system resources in your taskbar for the past two months was no help whatsoever.
If you wish to upgrade your copy of Windows to Windows 10 and are also sick of waiting for that useless taskbar icon to do its job, you can obtain Windows 10 installation media from Microsoft’s Official Windows 10 Site.
Windows 7 or Windows 8 users are only eligible to upgrade to Windows 10 for free within the first year of Windows 10’s release.
Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire 2015 Review July 27, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Reviews, Site Videos.add a comment
From the end of June to the beginning of July, the Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire was held at Warsaw Park in Ansonia, CT. Unlike other Ren Faires I’ve attended, which prided themselves on historical accuracy, this was a fantasy event inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, Tolkien, and Final Fantasy. Throughout the day, a group of actors and actresses dressed as fantastical characters to tell an overarching story revolving around the fate of a powerful gauntlet.
The event not only had an awesome story which played out through the day, other performers also held shows throughout the day. There was the fire breathing Irish magician Daniel GreenWolf, the talented Irish band Three Pints Shy, the hilarious comedy group The Questless Company, and a lot more.
So what did I think of this event? Watch this video and find out.
FAIL: The Plot of Superman Lives July 21, 2015
Posted by Maniac in FAIL, Site Videos.add a comment
Here’s a new episode of FAIL for you guys today, a brand new series where Maniac talks about Hollywood’s ongoing failures.
Today, we’re going to be talking about the plot to Superman Lives, a bonafied Superman film planned for production in the mid-90s. It was written by Kevin Smith (writer/director of Clerks), produced by Jon Peters (producer of Batman and Caddyshack), star Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider) and get directed by Tim Burton (Beetlejuice).
Sadly, production issues and creative differences forced the project’s cancellation before production began, and the script Kevin Smith wrote was never shot. A documentary has just recently been produced which details the film’s failed development, but a small criticism about it was that the documentary never talked about the film’s plot.
So what was the plot of this movie, and why was it never produced while other films like Man of Steel and Superman Returns were? Give the video below a watch and find out. Then you can decide for yourself if it was a shame or a good thing that the movie was never made.
The Lone Gunmen ConnectiCon 2015 Press Event July 13, 2015
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Got a special video for fans of The X-Files, the three Lone Gunmen appeared at ConnectiCon 2015. In this hiliarious panel not open to the majority of the attendees the three actors reminisce about their work and what they really think about government conspiracies. If you wanted to know if The Lone Gunmen will be returning for the resurrected X-Files series, you really want to give this video a watch.
I know what you’re probably thinking, why are live-action actors from the X-Files being showcased on a gaming website? Well, they just happened to be featured in two X-Files video games, one of which holds a very special place in my heart.
