BREAKING: Former CENTCOM commander Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie:

“It takes a year to build an aircraft — and 200 YEARS to build a military tradition where you don’t leave anybody behind.”

@MiddleearthMixr 40 MINUTES???

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

@JustinRYoung Man that’s a throwback

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

@shwood Bring it BACK

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

Um, we need the @NarniaWeb podcast back ASAP to make sense of this madness.

@JustinRYoung My god

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

@plainrunner2 Damn how much to you hate being so right

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

@JustinRYoung I see what did there

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

Isn't this because movie tickets are like 37 dollars now? (great movie tho)

[Star Wars @starwars]

Impressive. Most Impressive.

From a galaxy far, far away, everyone at Lucasfilm sends massive congratulations to Destin, Tom, everyone at Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios and the entire team behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day on setting a new domestic box office record and taking the crown from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

FWIW, I think filmmakers and studios should speak directly to the fans with behind-the-scenes production blogs, etc., not exclusives with traditional print media.

Say what you will about The Hobbit movies, but I loved PJ's BTS VLOGs and willingness to invite fan sites like @theoneringnet to the set.

I firmly believe that Greta Gerwig's Narnia movies are going to be great. https://t.co/lnoFMEhCCs

And serpentine scales and weirdly different-colored eyes... Aslan needs more of a snake vibe.

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

I've been saying Narnia needs more David Bowie for years.

@nasirgan Imagine telling your 9 year old who just read the books to get excited for this "rock opera."

Found a rare pic

[Riley Blanton @therileyguy]

In 2012, Star Wars Celebration announced that its next convention would be in Germany. To celebrate, they hired a polka band (which some intern had to find in Orlando, FL) to dramatically enter through the audience and play a polka rendition of the Star Wars theme. On stage. In front of thousands of dumbfounded fans.

This actually happened.

I swear.

[Rule the Galaxy Podcast @RuleTheGalaxySW]

Great #StarWars story by @therileyguy about @steveglosson of @GeekOutLoud at @SW_Celebration (still friends?)
