Year-End Box-Office Drawn-Out

... FIGHT TO THE FINISH ... 
(of 2018) 
!!! 

THE TWO MARIES... 
cancel each other out, 
really! 
_______________________________________


There's always 
''Three Marys'' 
though... 
________________________________________

But then there is 
that buzz floating around - 
BUMBLEBEE 





--- silly Tinseltown, though; 
haven't they heard that 
CARS POLLUTE, 
ROBOTS ARE EVIL and 
BEES ARE DEAD.

And we will die with them.  


But that's another story. 

Onwards with the MOVIES: 
what about those 
MORTAL ENGINES... eh 




... well ... 
That one was dead in the water 
right out of the gate as well! 

But speaking of water...











How is THAT for a perceived to be 
perennial "fifth wheel" --- EH! 
none of the above competitors 
(Mary Queen of Scots, 
Mary Poppins Returns, 
Mortal Engines, 
Bumblebee) 
and none of the other 2018 rivals 
for both cash and great honors 
(Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, 
Welcome To Marwen, 
that atrocious Venom 
or anybody else you would care 
to make a mention of here...!) 
can touch this film: 
AQUAMAN 
is, without a doubt, 
head and shoulders above 
ALL of those productions 
AND ALL SUPER-HEROES EVER 
PUT TO FILM --- 
for the sheer splendor of its 
ATLANTIS! 
And the directorial prowess of 
James Wan! 
And its incomparable cast 
which includes so many notables 
surrounding Amber Heard's Mera 
and Jason Momoa's Aquaman: 
Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, 
Dolph Lundgren, Patrick Wilson, 
Temuera Morrison, Otis Dhanji, 
Djimon Hounsou, Graham McTavish, 
Sophia Forrest, Natalia Safran, 
Randall Park, Michael Beach, Ludi Lin, 
John Rhys-Davies, 
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II 
and Julie Andrews...!!!



AND WAIT UNTIL 
DVD AND DIGITAL SALES 
START COMING IN, TOO...!!! 

You may snub it for Oscar contention, 
Academy STIFFS - 
but you better not be giving it 
to a Marvel instead 
solely based upon sheer 
box-office tally 
or alleged 
"social significance" 
either! 



 AQUAMAN 
has changed 
super-hero movies 
and the industry 
FOREVERMORE - 
not anybody else! 



Isn't it too bad 
STAN LEE 
isn't alive to see it 
happening either... 
hmm?

Tees-ing Ya!

You know...
I look at the competition. 
I look at the competition - a lot! 
And I think to myself... what a 
wonderful world?!? 
No, that's not it! 
I think to myself... what a crock! 
Like this piece of crock right here: 
It's a ''US Design''... Of course! 

Now why, tell me, why 
would that be considered worthier, 
trendier, hipper, in any way better 
than one of my very own 
LUMINOUS TEES - eh? 
One such as this: 


--- for sheer example! 

(plenty more *brilliant* if not always 
*luminous* per say 
such examples/samples 
over at 
www.luminous.online 
see you there!) 



It must be aaaaaaaaall a question of 
TASTE - indeed! 
But we are not here to evaluate 
different tastes - nope! 
Even though this is the 
TASTE-TESTING BLOG 
and all... 
We're testing tastes here... 
in a different way! 


How about this: 

TOP TEN T-SHIRT 
DESIGNS 
THAT WILL 
*NEVER
MAKE IT ONTO 
OUR LINE OF 
LUMINOUS TEES 
OFFERINGS! 


No. 10 - a quote from Gordon! 


No. 9 - that says it all... 


No. 8 - typical angry face... 


No. 7 - sticking it to them! 


No. 6 - a message to the community... 


No. 5 - just making it clear... 


No. 4 - walk on the wild side now... 


No. 3 - pride... 


No. 2 - eyes on the prize(s)... 


And No. 1 

The Apex of Blasé. 

Meh. 


WHICH ONE 
IS IN POORER TASTE? 
HUH?


Just so you know it, now, 
without a shadow of a doubt: 
my LUMINOUS TEES are tasteful, 
cool and, quite simply, 
FANTABULOUS! 


WEAR 'EM OR WEEP! 

Your choice...!
