@MovieMantz I still have a bunch from those days. Star log really was the best of the best for that type of genre reporting.

When I was growing up, STARLOG MAGAZINE was where I got all my sci-fi, fantasy & horror movie and TV news and interviews! I absolutely could not wait to get it every month, and I still have all my early issues — Those were good times! Any other STARLOG fans out there?

@daviddorg @Martina Ok but then how do they keep in touch with people? FB/IG “happiness” should depend on how people use it. FB is the only way outside of text groups to keep in touch with a group of friends. Sounds like the data’s skewed.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.

@elijahwood @GamewithDave Did you ever play The Halley Project? Epic game.

@GamewithDave all of the classic Lucasarts adventure games, Sim Tower and the Carmen San Diego series

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@aakashgupta @UltraHDBluray You lost me at “TV Director”. Are you serious? Lol

Since Rise of Skywalker closed the Skywalker Saga in December 2019, Disney has announced at least 10 new Star Wars theatrical films. Zero have made it to a theater. The one that finally broke the streak is a $166 million repackaged Disney+ TV season. Rian Johnson's trilogy, Benioff and Weiss's trilogy, Kevin Feige's film, Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron, Taika Waititi's project, Damon Lindelof's Rey film, Steven Knight's Rey film, Guillermo del Toro's Jabba movie, James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi, Dave Filoni's Mandalorian team-up film. All announced with press releases. All dead, parked, or delayed. Then Lucasfilm did the simplest thing possible. They took what was going to be Mandalorian Season 4 and moved it to theaters. The budget is the tell. $166 million, per the California Film Commission. Rise of Skywalker cost $416 million. Force Awakens cost $638 million. Even The Acolyte, the Disney+ show Disney canceled for being too expensive, came in at $230 million. The Star Wars theatrical film restarting the franchise costs less than the Star Wars streaming show they just killed for costing too much. The math only works if you understand what broke. Disney paid $4 billion for Lucasfilm in 2012 planning a Marvel-style theatrical engine. When Rise of Skywalker landed badly with fans, they pivoted. Star Wars was moving to Disney+. The Mandalorian was the anchor. Disney+ then ran up $11 billion in cumulative operating losses before reaching profitability, and Iger called the aggressive streaming push a mistake in 2023. So now the flagship Disney+ show is the movie that has to restart theatrical. A TV cast. A TV director. A story originally planned as a streaming season. Running a summer window against Mission Impossible and Marvel. What you're watching in that trailer is a $4 billion acquisition, six years of aborted directors, and a collapsed streaming thesis all being carried on the back of one puppet baby.

@LeahRebeccaUK Tie between A&B.

I know the Scotty once said "no bloody A, B, C or, D... But A/ B/ or C/? 😎🖖

@LeahRebeccaUK @StarWarsDaily_ The lighting on that photo is amazing. I'm procrastinating building that because of the Aztecing.

@StarWarsDaily_ Haha! Nope

Is this the most iconic ship in cinema?

@Fandango Why is your web site having so many problems when trying to get tickets for Dune at Lincoln Square? I finally get seats but your site times out and now I lost them. Fix this.

Godspeed Artemis II April 1, 2026 -- 18:35 EDT

@ClaireRehfuss Agreed. I wouldn’t have voted for that.

I'm not buying the sell - they should've let us vote whether we wanted a triple snuff or 39 days of survivor. #Survivor

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Skyrim has one of the greatest game soundtracks of all time, but what about it was so perfect? Let’s talk about it ⤵️

Riz will only be known as the player that thought he was the best. That’s it. #survivor50

@veebaamonde Seriously. I can’t wait to see what other cringe moments are in store.

Why am I watching a country singer spear fish right now #survivor

@lufitoom "I'm working for Mel Brooks"

Does Blazing Saddles count?

@veebaamonde And yet I have yet to see her talk about the show at all. Unless I missed it.

Drink every time they say Billie Eilish #survivor50

Another podcaster made it to Blizzard. (no, not me)

@lufitoom I miss Dornogal's layout
