🚨BLOC INVITES MPs TO CROSS THE FLOOR🚨 The Bloc is now publicly inviting Mark Carney’s ticked off Liberal MPs to jump ship. That tells you everything. Even other parties can smell the weakness inside the Liberal caucus.

BATTLE SET in progress!

@DT2ComicsChat Not when corporations own the movie studios.

#Fandom🤓 #Movies📽️ So I wonder if, in any of our lifetimes, we will ever see another phenomenon like #StarWars. (I don't mean Star Wars coming back....that's not going to happen.) I mean, another movie with the popularity, cultural impact, merchandising, iconic sounds, weapons, and compelling characters like the original Star Wars had.

@MovieEndorser Fight Club

Fight Club or Zodiac?

@EnrealidadNoUso It was canceled to soon :(

Share a 2000s TV show you love. 📺

@AJ92PB I have mine alphabetically, I was thinking of switching to distributor and alphabetize them from there.

Dejo esto por aquí solo por curiosidad, lo grabé ya casi al acabar. Me llevó bastantes horas ordenar los #Bluray 💿 por orden alfabético la semana pasada. Antes las tenía por distribuidora y era un poco caos 🎬.

@ezgicodes Absolutely

my canadian friends, do you actually like poutine or are we all just pretending?

Peter Jackson on the state of physical media “You can get Blu-rays and DVDs, but they’re almost a niche product for aficionados now,” Jackson said. “Since they only sell small numbers, no studio wants to put extended features on them or to extend the cuts. We did hours and hours of behind-the-scenes material for The Lord of the Rings DVDs, and so many people have thanked me for doing them. People would watch that stuff over and over again because it inspired them to make films. That’s all gone now, and I think it’s a real shame.”

@BlazeBinges The best version of Batman

Be honest... what do you actually think of Batman: The Animated Series?

@anishmoonka @UltraHDBluray I was all in on digital until I heard what Playstation was about to do in 2023. I went back to buy physical movies again

For about ten years, the DVD made Hollywood more money than the movie theater did. A film could flop in cinemas and still turn a tidy profit once it hit the shelf at Best Buy. In 2005, discs sold around $16 billion in the US. Theaters made about half that. That safety net changed the kind of films that got made. Since a strong disc run could cover a box-office miss, studios were willing to bet on smaller, odder movies. A scrappy comedy like Napoleon Dynamite or The Big Lebowski could rake in as much from disc sales as it ever made selling tickets, sometimes more. And the hours of behind-the-scenes extras Jackson misses got made for the same reason: the discs sold well enough to pay for them. Then streaming showed up, and the disc money fell off a cliff. Sales sank more than 80%. By 2018, DVDs were down to barely $2 billion. By 2023, a full half-year of disc sales added up to about $754 million, less than a tenth of the old peak. With the safety net gone, the risky bets stopped. The mid-size movie, the $20 to $60 million film that filled theaters for decades, mostly stopped getting made. Hollywood's big studios put out 204 movies in 2006. By 2010, that was down to 141. The digital version that replaced the disc comes with fine print. When you click "buy" on a movie, you're really just renting it. What you actually get is a license, a permission slip the store can take back. In late 2023, PlayStation warned customers it was about to wipe more than 1,300 shows they had already paid for. It backed off only after signing a fresh deal, and even that one expires in a couple of years. California now has a law, on the books since 2025, that makes stores admit the "buy" button is actually a rental. Jackson's old box sets still sit on a shelf and still play, extras and all. The digital copies most people traded them for can vanish the morning a licensing contract runs out.

Tom Hollander says he accidentally received Tom Holland’s Marvel box office bonus because their agency mixed them up. “I got one from the agency saying, ‘Payment slip for first box office bonus for The Avengers.’” “At that moment, I thought, ‘I don’t think I’m in The Avengers.’” Then he opened the email. “It was an astonishing amount of money.” “It was not his salary. It was his first box office bonus… and it was more money than I’d ever seen.” “It was a seven figure sum.”

@comicbooklundy Wolverine 50, I was so happy when I finally got copy of it.

What is your favorite gimmick cover in comic books?

@comicbooklundy My fav Captain Britian suit. Leonard Kirk did this for me at the 2016 Toronto Fan Expo

Which Captain Britain costume do you like better?

@SWT_Channel I have the gold set and this one

Remember… Gold & Silver VHS box sets? Drop a like if your Star Wars collection started there! ❤️

Repeatedly hearing by Carney and CBC bragging that life in Canada is just as affordable today as it was 10 years ago So I filled up my SUV with $50 worth of gas (sarcasm on filling up the tank! about 20-25 Litres, less than a 1/4 tank) and headed to the grocery store to grab a couple T-bones to celebrate the good news 🥳 Two T-bones.
$73.94. Gas was 90¢ a litre a decade ago. 
Today? $1.89-2.22 T-bones were $10/lb back then. 
Now? $32/lb. Who voted for this clown 🤡 show? Carbon tax Carney taxing cow farts yet to fight his climate hoax? #CDNPoli #TrudeauFailedCanada #CostOfLivingCrisis #CanadaFirst #CarbonTax

@Kneon I didn’t even know it was out today

At the theaters for Mando and Grogu. It’s pretty empty and the people that are here all almost senior citizens. Maybe they feel seen because Grogu is, like, what, 60? But it’s 1pm on a Friday.

@InPoliticalDivd @Kneon When the Phantom Menace came out I cut class to go see it and the theatre was packed. If Star Wars was in a healthy place then people would make time on a Friday to go see it.

@Kneon You're at a theater at 1 pm on a Friday. Do you realize people have jobs?

@RetroMoviesDB I feel like I had that lunch box

I would take this Masters of the Universe Lunchbox to work every day.
