“Well now. It looks like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 didn’t drop off a cliff in its second week as many had predicted. To be fair, the word of mouth on this one has been strong, with many people saying it’s the best MCU movie since Endgame. Is this the last hurrah not just for James Gunn, but for the entire MCU fans came to know and love?”
This is a very good movie. I really liked it…I think it’s the best Guardians movie.
“Vice Media is officially filing for bankruptcy and will sell to its debtors for a little over $200 million… a FRACTION of its supposed valuation. And what’s worse is the company only stayed afloat as long as it did by borrowing more and more money… effectively paying credit cards with other credit cards, and maxing them all out. OOF.”
“Disney is looking at a potential class-action lawsuit by some of its shareholders over “misrepresenting” the numbers and profitability of Disney+. Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek and CFO Christine McCarthy were named in the suit. Another day, another daily dose of Dismal Disney.”
“The media is now taking to slamming YouTubers for having hot takes on the WGA writer’s strike. Because of COURSE they are. But are YouTubers actually saying what these outlets accuse them of?”
“Kotaku has just ended itself over Tears of the Kingdom and the drama around the Nintendo boycott… or at least one of their writers likely ended their career. Kotaku defends its 6/10 score AFTER being super salty about getting blacklisted for essentially telling people how to pirate Nintendo games. Then one of their writers compared Nintendo to WW2 Japan and Those Guys Who Wore Brown Uniforms. You had one job, Kotaku. This won’t end well.”
“Netflix is looking to save $300 million by cutting costs and will not be greenlighting as many shows and is going to be careful in who they hire going forward. Again, right now is a BAD time for Hollywood writers to go on strike. But good luck with that.”
“Disney stock plummets after the Q2 Earnings Call, mostly due to Disney+ losing millions of subscribers and the future looking unclear. Speaking of unclear, does Disney CEO Bob Iger even HAVE a plan at this point?”
“Micheal Shannon who plays General Zod in the Snyderverse and The Flash, claims people are just picking on Ezra Miller and seems to hand wave the actor’s illegal and disturbing behavior. This after some production people said you’d forget all about Ezra Miller because the movie is so darned good. But will you?”
“Unlike Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, Draco Malfoy doesn’t seem to be shying away from the Harry Potter franchise for social media clout. The actor is teaming up with Hogwarts Legacy for… something? A livestream? Who knows. He plays his cards right, JK Rowling might invite him back to the HBO reboot…”
“Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is going ahead with filming the rest of Season 2 WITHOUT adult supervision. Or something. Apparently, the showrunners are NOT allowed to do jack squat on the show because of the Hollywood Writer’s Strike. Now watch it somehow be BETTER. Wouldn’t that be funny?”
