Sec. Marco Rubio sat in front of Congress today and couldn’t acknowledge that Trump’s net worth jumped from $2.1B to $6.5B while in office. Rep. Olszewski told him he might need a new pair of glasses…
My takeaway from BACKROOMS' success (and MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE likely bombing) is that young people want THEIR IP made into movies, not the IP of their parents' generation.
BARBIE is an exception, and studios misunderstood why it succeeded when so many legacy sequels failed.
This was extremely poor writing on Lucas's part but if you roll with it, it's actually hilarious. Imagine - you're Darth Vader, and one day a banged-up freighter flies into your doomsday station's hangar and it's carrying your son, your daughter, your astromech droid, the protocol droid you personally built as a child and your master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Everything rhymes; you can feel the inexorable tides of fate that reunited everyone at this moment; the Force is strong...
... except for the truck driver in the vest. But hey. Maybe even the Force isn't above taking an Uber to get everyone together instead of tracking down some Special Fated Person, right?
Yeah. Yeah that's what you said. "Nah. THAT one is coincidence," you said, and then the NEXT DAY he pops up in a souped up 18 wheeler and shoots you, one of the greatest fighter pilots in the galaxy, square in the ass before your snot-nosed kid blows your uberstation to hell and gone and now you're flying around trying to get a signal, knowing that there's gonna be one hell of a chat with Palpatine once you do, and you're still wondering *who the hell was that fucker in the vest!?*
food and drinks consumed in a movie theater doesn’t really go into your body. it goes into your movie theater body which is separate & holy and harm-proof

THE ACOLYTE creator Leslye Headland says she “would still want to do” a Season 2 that would have explored Qimir, Plagueis, and tied into the sequels.
“As more people discover it, I think people may want to see some form of the story come back. We did have a lot of stuff that we wanted to explore- including tying in lore to the sequels. Getting into who exactly Manny [Jacinto]’s character is, his connection with Vernestra, his connection with Plagueis, and then his connection with other sequel-established things.”

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.
Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

Idk man, seeing the emotion from Victor Wembanyama after clinching the Western Conference is so damn cool…
I love every second of it. Superstars just aren’t built like this. Shit absolutely means something to him. He’s one of one. Cool as hell.
