MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: Appropriate that Alison Brie is in this, as it’s the He-Man movie that Troy and Abed would make.

The number of "I can't wait for this to come to streaming" comments... We're cooked.

This film was wonderful fun, but it's gonna die and years later folks will be moaning about it getting drown, like they do about D&D Honour Among Thieves.

[Global Box Office @GlobalBoxOffice]

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE bombs harder than expected and earns only $7.3M on Friday for an $11.7M total opening day.

Its domestic debut now might miss the $25M mark, getting beaten by OBSESSIONS’s fourth weekend.

There was a little while I didn't think it was gonna make it, but its run has just gone on and on and on...

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE’ has officially become the first movie to pass $1 billion in 2026.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Henry Cavill has been cast alongside Kevin Hart in McG's new action comedy for Netflix.

The film follows 2 rival spies who find themselves in a pre-natal class while their wives become friends.

BREAKING: Tom Cruise is reportedly stuck in the backrooms. He says he’s fine in there but would appreciate it if someone sent him some Blu-Rays.

What an incredibly silly film. I loved it.

[Cage Fighting: Cruise Control @CageFightingPod]

Shame this AI slop machine wasn't around in 2003 to show us what Charlize Theron would've looked like as a hottie when she played Aileen Wournos.

Almost like actors don't have to play Models in every performance, some roles call for battle hardened, hard-faced characters.

[ᵗⁱⁿʸ T̥ͦo̥ͦḁͦs̥ͦt̥ͦy̥ͦ ♡´･ᴗ･`♡ @ToastyMosty6969]

So unlike woke game designers I read some of the comments and I redid the design.

Here’s another model I edited. Looks more like the actress, more realistic looking, more texture on her skin. I even toned down her makeup.

Still looks like a beautiful character and the actress in my opinion.

This guy doesn't like it when women are able to fight back it seems.

[Jon Del Arroz | Pop Culture & Gaming 🎮 @jondelarroz]

Let me remind you: never let women into your hobby.

@hunter_joh80957 Ive not seen any of the preceding Backrooms stuff before, what were the plotholes in the movie?

[Cage Fighting: Cruise Control @CageFightingPod]

Finally getting round to Mando and Grogu at the local @cineworld. And I managed to get my favourite seat in the whole building. Happy days!

[Cage Fighting: Cruise Control @CageFightingPod]

@wetfloorsign1 @zoerosebryant Looks like Send Help?

[Cage Fighting: Cruise Control @CageFightingPod]

Also, Kane has done more work on Backrooms lore than anyone. Bar some random 4 sentence 4Chan post, this is his world.

[Cage Fighting: Cruise Control @CageFightingPod]

What worries me is that idiot suits who run the studios will think this is the lesson to be learned, and not that age is only a number, and you can trust a creative who has spent time building a resumé and an audience in a medium other than the standard industry pathway. https://t.co/KlnzUZIsaA

@JayPhillip7486 Only just started it Jay. Solid start and looking forward to where it's going.

Think we're gonna review it at the start on July - just go give everyone enough time to get through it.

How have you been finding it?

My favourite genre of tweet is someone who says something utterly fucking stupid and then blocks replies.

[jourdain searles @judysquirrels]

even if I liked OBSESSION—and I like plenty of horror other people don’t!—it’s not structurally sound enough as a film to warrant (gestures broadly) all this. it made money. good for it. good for the director. he’s fine. you’re fine. watch another movie.

[Cage Fighting: Cruise Control @CageFightingPod]

@SauskaVR @xHeraKita @rift_warden Which one did you buy? I've seen a lot which are basically fans, and not actually AC units. I bought one that was like that a few years back, and replaced it with a proper portable AC unit last year.
