Or maybe, just maybe, Star Wars is dead because Disney produced 10 years of shit Star Wars content.

[Nerdrotic @Nerdrotics]

Let's get one thing straight. I am enjoying Mandalorian and Grogu bombing at the box office. It genuinely makes me happy.
Disney and Lucasfilm have earned every bit of this. Their treatment of George's work and worse, the treatment of the fans is why they are failing. They never understood either.
Hubris, activism, and idiocy have turned it into a zombie franchise. It walks and talks, but has no soul.
What Disney did to Star Wars is a crime against imagination.
Fire EVERYONE at Lucasfilm or not.
Welcome to the long dark apathy of the soul, twats.

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

The production of Christopher Nolan received permission for 15 days of filming in Greece with a budget of 16 million euros. The Greek state gave them 6 million as a subsidy from the money of Greek taxpayers, who were never informed about the cast of the film or the distortion of the most important work in our history.

The issue here is not that they received money. We Greeks would gladly have given all 16 million for Nolan to shoot a faithful Odyssey. But it should have been a film that properly represents us Greeks, Hellenism and stays true to the values and writings of Homer. Not so we Greeks could pay for a Black Helen and Clytemnestra, a Batman-like Agamemnon, a trans Achilles or Elpenor (a woman playing a male role), a Black Athena, and a script based on the worst possible "translation" that exists.

In short, Nolan disrespected all Greeks, while the Greek people are now officially in the crosshairs of racism and the falsification of their history and culture. Woke Hollywood must die.

[Dragon Ball GT @dbgrandtour_]

The contribution of DBGT is undervalued: it provided jobs for thousands, gave us one of the best transformations, a wonderful soundtrack, and a perfect ending to the DB story. It has many flaws, but its strengths are undeniable and left a lasting mark on the hearts of millions.

[X-MEN REBOOT @XMenReboot]

Cant wait for the premiere.

What new s2 additions excite you the most?

[John @john_eff7]

@kiwi_skeptical @trad_west_ You asked for a syllogism
What doesn’t explain itself needs explanation. The universe (order, existence, meaning) doesn’t explain itself.
Therefore it needs explanation beyond itself. If you reject it, say which premise & why.

[John @john_eff7]

@kiwi_skeptical @trad_west_ Calling it “just images” misses the point. They illustrate real features of reality order, existence, meaning which don’t explain themselves. That’s the argument. Now address it.

[John @john_eff7]

@kiwi_skeptical @trad_west_ I’ll make it simple, the images point to reality, order, existence, meaning. Those don’t explain themselves. Calling it “not an argument” doesn’t make the question go away.

[John @john_eff7]

@kiwi_skeptical @trad_west_ Your objection is invalid, you’re attacking the format, not the point. Whether it’s images or words is irrelevant. They represent real features of reality: order, existence, meaning. Dismissing them as “just images” doesn’t refute the argument, it avoids it.

[John @john_eff7]

@kiwi_skeptical @trad_west_ I didn’t say the images are the argument. They illustrate one, that order, existence, and meaning point beyond themselves. Dismissing them as “just images” doesn’t engage that

[John @john_eff7]

@kiwi_skeptical @trad_west_ You’re describing them, not addressing the argument. Order, existence, and meaning still need an explanation and that points to beyond nature to God.

The 50 Shades of JP Morgan teaser looks so wild...

[John @john_eff7]

@MilenaZellweger @Antunes1 This critique ignores what Christianity teaches. Humans weren’t created evil (Gen 1:31); sin is a choice (Rom 5). The cross isn’t God fixing a mistake it’s God confronting human evil with justice (Rom 3:26). And that “nonsense” sparked the largest faith movement in history.

[RawkTalks @RawkTalks]

This featurette was shown to audiences that went to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, in US theaters for its 35th Anniversary between March 13 to March 26, 2026. We have what looks to be test footage for the now shelved TMNT The Last Ronin project, spliced in-between shots of Kevin Eastman drawing a photo of The Last Ronin.
