There’s a new box office king. “Michael” arrived in theaters as an instant sensation with $97 million domestically and $217 million globally in its first weekend of release. These ticket sales rank as the best start of all time for a biopic, smashing the record set by 2015’s “Straight Outta Compton” ($60 million). “Michael” also notched the second-biggest debut of the year behind April’s sequel “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” ($131 million). bit.ly/4ebgB0I

@SKTheKingYT Man, those were the days. I definitely preferred, Martin over the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Bro Went For The Takedown 🤣

@MyTimeToShineH Seems like Marvel still wants to lose money, reputation and the paying costumer.

Hunter Schafer is still being considered for the role of Mystique in the X-MEN reboot.

@Todd_Spence Very cool production. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw it on YouTube a while ago.

A New Jersey high school put on an ALIEN: THE PLAY production and even built a xenomorph suit that would lurk around the audience. The best part is Sigourney Weaver herself showed up to check out the production 🔥 so cool

@DenizCamp And you wonder why DC and Marvel comics are in the dumps. You liberal fucks are not freedom fighters or “the resistance” you are just a bunch of cunts and nobody likes you.

Missed again :(

@FightKarnivore Okay, but what’s with the three stooges wig?

A Deals A Deal!! 😂

@politicalawake @kanifeli Let’s go !

🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 Kimi Onoda has just declared war on Woke Westerners who want to change Anime & Manga. "When attacked from abroad, we must respond resolutely as a nation with Shut up, this is Japan!"

@k_psmj I never understood why women may make these retarted “statements”. Be the strong and independent, girl boss that you want to be, stay single, leave men alone (actively avoid them) and get some cats.

@kevin_thecritic Call me snobbish then. To be a true fan of film, you indeed needed to have watched (and appreciate) cinema from the golden yesteryear. There is a reason why films of today are pure shite.

I didn’t watch a ton of older movies as a kid and I don’t think it’s at all a problem for younger film fans not to have seen Hichcock or Eastwood westerns. It’s ONLY a problem if they refuse to believe that movies that came out decades before they were born informed the ones they’re watching today. I’m sick of the snobbish attitude that you MUST know and love films from every decade of the medium’s existence to be a “true” movie fan.

@upstatefederlst YES. Yes, we did. Even in The Netherlands we did. Because all we had were three channels in the early 80’s. We simply watched what the grownups watched and that included films from the 30’s, all the way up to the 70’s. The “new” movies were mostly at the cinemas.

People out here acting like 80s and 90s kids regularly watched movies from the 50s and 60s.

@screenrant They should re-release the 4 hour cut of this movie prior to the release of the second film. Perhaps than it’ll feel like a more complete movie.

EXCLUSIVE: #MichaelMovie was four hours, with director Antoine Fuqua sharing how they got it to just over two: "The best editors in the world... wasn't easy," adding Lionsgate "took the film from us a couple of days ago." 📼 screenrant.com/michael-4-hour…

Every time I see this Clavicular guy, I am increasingly alarmed. He’s going down a road of self imposed ruin or even worse, self deletion. The painful part is that he can stop this anytime he wants to but he keeps digging the hole, deeper and deeper. In zero ways is he in any shape to father a child (if it’s even his).

Clavicular broke down in TEARS after finding out his girlfriend he met 10 days ago is PREGNANT, leaving him overwhelmed and in SHOCK after becoming a father at just 20 years old 👀

@The_RomaArmy Thank you, Chloe. Unfortunately, you are in a minority of women that think like this. The majority of women just don’t give a damn.

Dear Men, You were worth keeping when you were angry. You were worth keeping when you were hurt. You were worth keeping when you were difficult. You were worth keeping before the money, before the success, before the “glow up”, before the arguments, before the proof. You do not have to keep proving you were worth keeping.

@Conversecomics I wholeheartedly agree. Been saying this for ages, Super heroes need to unapologetically be heroes again. Enough with these cynical and nihilistic deconstructions.

We need to get past this area of comic book content. There is nothing here worth keeping around. We need heroes for kids to look up to and inspire to be. These are just bad reflections on what actually works.

@Variety And yet this chick got more opportunities than most men more talented than her.

Elizabeth Banks: "I was literally told because I direct films that, ‘You can’t direct men. They won’t follow you.'" "And then I directed Ray Liotta, who played Henry Hill in ‘Goodfellas,’ and I think I nailed it. Check. It’s all good.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

Just came back from the #MichaelMovie let me start off with what I thought was lacking a bit. The story and characterizations. The film played out more like a hightlight reel rather than an actual story. I gained no new knowledge or insights about Michael, what made him tick like a person. The theme of a man wanting to break free from the clutches of an oppressive father remained frustratingly surface level. The things that could have made for excellent drama and strong scenes was just glossed over. The good stuff is VERY good. Jafaar Jackson is absolutely magnetic as Michael. The voice, the mannerisms and the dancing is absolutely incredible. I have to give credit to Juliano Valdi as young Michael as well. Colman Domingo gives a fascinating performance as Joe Jackson and commands every scene he’s in. Michael is not a bad movie, but a movie that is painfully shallow. I really hope that the proverbial raisins are in the porridge that is the second movie. That this follow up will provide some more depth of characters and story. Do go see it in theaters. The music alone is worth it and yes, I did the Blade meme. I had to litterally bite my teeth not to burst out in dance and song! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5

@DannyDrinksWine Showgirls is not a very good movie but, damn…I’d be lying if I said it is not an entertaining one.

Paul Verhoeven on how the failure of 'Showgirls' (1995) affected his career & why he thinks a movie like 'Showgirls' can't be made anymore in Hollywood: "One of the most interesting, or the most terrible, and the most fascinating things to happen with 'Showgirls' (1995) was the reaction to it. I had not at all expected that I would be brutalized by the critics. Critics would say, “I had to leave the theater” because they had to throw up, it was so dirty, decadent — whatever description they gave it. That was astonishing to me. The feeling of total amazement that the film was received with an absolute full spectrum of animosity will never disappear. When my movie 'Spetters' (1980) was released in Holland in 1980, there was a similar reaction. But the big difference was that that movie had a very big audience. Here, all the reviews were terrible, but people didn’t want to see it either. The backlash, and the consequences for me in the Hollywood industry, are certainly not something I will forget. After 'Showgirls', nobody trusted me anymore, other than with the movies that had been working very well, which was the science-fiction stuff. I started with 'RoboCop' (1987) and 'Total Recall' (1990), but I tried to get away from science fiction. Then all the doors that were opened for me were all closed by 'Showgirls'. It made life more one-dimensional as to what I was able to do. That’s why I decided to go back to myself again with something like [WWII movie] 'Black Book' in 2006. I don’t think that it’s a movie that could ever be made anymore. Ever. Because n*d!ty is more taboo than ever in the United States. You see these movies and the s€x scenes are reduced to a couple of dissolves where you see a hand on a back, but there are really no s€x scenes in American movies anymore. There are exceptions, of course. But not many. Yet, 20 years later we’re still talking about the movie. You never see anything like it anymore, something so outrageous but very well filmed: the lighting, the sound effects, everything. There’s a lot of n*d!ty; but it’s not exploitative. It’s not a p0rn0 movie. I think the n*d!ty in 'Showgirls' is not done in what you would call a “dirty” way. For me, the female body is extremely inspiring and beautiful. When I was in high school in Holland, my art teacher said: "The breast of a woman is the most beautiful thing in the world." I never forgot that, and I’ve always felt that way. When I think of the movie, I see all these brilliant colors and of these beautiful movements — of the body and of the camera — and what stands out for me is the elegance. That sounds strange to people when I say this is a very elegant movie, but I think it is. It’s probably the most elegant movie I’ve ever done." ("‘Showgirls’: Paul Verhoeven on the Greatest Stripper Movie Ever Made", Jennifer Wood, Rolling Stone, 2015)

@megaboi56 Great movie! The sequel is bonkers, a bit of a mess, but still worth a watch. The original “Amsterdamned” is a bonafide Dutch horror classic though 👍

A woman float’s on the lake legs stretched open Another epic movie 🎥: The killer

@DiscussingFilm I’ll be seeing the film tomorrow. I know it’ll have the “whizz-bang” but I am hoping it will have some substance as well. Crossing my fingers. I want this movie to be so GOOD!
