@THEStevenVoss @WrestlePurists He says what info he has gotten, then has to add, "but things could change as always." Why? Cos wrestling fans like to selectively forget "plans change, pal" so they don't have to acknowledge it's possible for Meltzer to be correct, but then the situation changes.

@WrestlePurists How does anyone take this guy seriously? He purposefully never says anything definitively to give himself an excuse for being wrong. When he does say something concrete, he’s typically wrong. 😂

“Regarding Roman Reigns being pulled from June TV dates that were announced, the reason we were told is that he’s not going to be on the Saudi Arabia PPV and thus there was no reason to do the TV’s building that show. If he loses the title next week, of course that would be a change and there will be more to the story. If he retains, that’s probably all it is. But Reigns is no longer scheduled for any television in June.” - Dave Meltzer (@WONF4W Daily Update)

@Ricky_A__ @MortalKombat When did they give it out to everyone?

@paquetepr @WrestlePurists He did though. He made the most of it and now he's wrestling elsewhere lol

@WrestlePurists A check is a chek. If im getting paid still while not doing nothing its not that bad 🤣🤣🤣. If it was a full signed and not tha pay per appereance atleast you still get paid. Doo the most of it and move one once the contract is over. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bear Bronson says he felt like a signed extra during his time in AEW: “So if I could explain the difference between [AEW & TNA], and I’m not throwing any shade here but when I was with AEW, in all of five years from start to finish, I felt like a signed extra, if that makes sense. Where you’re just kind of there. Whether you’re there or not, it doesn’t really make a big difference. And on the complete other end of the spectrum is with TNA, I actually feel like an important part of the piece moving forward.” (@BustedOpenRadio)

@MarvelStrikeF Been hoping for a non-Four Horsemen Angel. Will this team be obtainable for free-to-play players, or is it a premium only team?

Fear threatens to swallow everything, but a union of some of the most powerful mutants on Nexus Earth stands in its way: The Exalted X-Men! marvelstrikeforce.com/updates/exalte…

@ReeceBLambert @AccessTheAnimus @AsHNewT Deflecting all bullets is pretty powerful, bro.

@AccessTheAnimus @AsHNewT The original had outfits with perks, but I just know Ubisoft is going to make this shit ''killing an enemy restores your health'', or something else that is absolutely broken.

While announced as an action adventure game and "NOT an RPG", 🏴‍☠️ Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced 🏴‍☠️ will seemingly still feature perks tied to weapons and gear. Is this something you still appreciate in the game or could do without? (Spotted by @AsHNewT)

@zen_thee_god @Pedroyasmin5804 @dajosc11 I was completely neutral to him because I couldn't get into the general wwe product just to watch any one particular wrestler. I never thought Jade was exceptional, but I'm glad for her she's doing do well in wwe. I still love Hobbs and am glad he's getting the bag.

@Pedroyasmin5804 @dajosc11 I’m not mad I understand why he left but literally no one cared about him this much until he left similar to how once jade left all the aew fanboys started saying she sucked or how now they’re saying powerhouse Hobbs was mid the whole time because he’s gone

I like how after the kiss they showed a fan with a “Make it gayer!” sign

@C3dric83 @Davil555 @DirtSheetRadio From their asses.

@VPVillain @Davil555 @DirtSheetRadio People within the fan base critique them all the time. The women’s booking, Darby winning the title, the overruns, PPV length, commentary, Jericho, etc. I don’t know where this talking point comes from.

They lost Ariel Helwani. This is like MAGA losing Joe Rogan

@Davil555 @DirtSheetRadio Then what's with the weird flaming of AEW fans?

@VPVillain @DirtSheetRadio I stopped watching WWE in 2002 so i’ll pass on the criticism

@Davil555 @DirtSheetRadio AEW often drops the ball on what I consider to be ready-made, low-stakes, fun storylines. Even times when they've done a fun story, I find myself wishing they'd invested in it more cos it could've gone so much further than they took it. Your turn to critique WWE. -An AEW Mark

@DirtSheetRadio AEW’s marks are more like MAGA cause they will never say anything bad against their beloved company/owner no matter what

@TherealMathew37 @WrestleOps Lol fed drones using "back to the bingo hall" as an insult - as if they don't chant 'ECW' whenever wwe pretends they've done something "extreme"

@WrestleOps Look at these Walmart looking guys...back to the bingo hall..no wonder wrestling is shit these days

🚨 Darby Allin has defeated MJF to become the new AEW World Champion.

@solbetio @DiscussingFilm It can if audiences accept the slop. Why produce high quality, when you can still profit with no effort and minimal cost? It's not like shareholders are in it "for the art"

@DiscussingFilm Firing people isn't the solution AI can't truly replace the value, judgment and creativity that people bring to their roles

Disney has laid off nearly the entire visual development team at Marvel Studios. Only a skeleton crew remains in place to coordinate hiring on a per-project basis. (Source: forbes.com/sites/robsalko…)

@OsheaJacksonJr And they got curated answers for you on unreal.

For a second there. Not gonna lie, when Randy said “you’re forgetting about something Cody” I thought the camera was gonna show Brandi on the floor. Tony Khan woulda had Brandi Rhodes in a chair over a pool of sharks with fricken lasers attached to their heads when that camera turned. Something just feels off. Cant wait to see the UNREAL on this. I got questions

Wish I could call myself an AI and have tech bros and other assholes with too much money for their own good give me $100k to screw up a startup. I can squander money just as well as a hyped up LLM.

@AutismCapital @Pirat_Nation For now... While they need more people to sign up. Then once they've got enough users hooked... They raise the prices... And limit # of users on one family plan... And introduce YT++ which has no ads, while yt+ will now have "less ads" We've seen this formula already.

@Pirat_Nation Nobody wants to hear this but YouTube premium is actually a great deal. You can split a family plan with 6 people being it to like $3/mo per person and you get no ads, auto skip ads, and YouTube Music which is actually as good if not better than Spotify so you need one less sub.

YouTube is reportedlytesting unskippable ads up to 90 seconds long on smart TVs and streaming devices. • Up to 90-second ad breaks • No skip option • Designed mainly for TV viewing • Fewer, but longer ad interruptions • Higher ad revenue focus They want more users to pay for Premium

@blazed2324 @BackupHangman I want them to bring it back by someone winning two mid-card titles. They should establish it as their second world title, but it only exists/reaches that status when it's formed by two other titles - any singles titles, not just the international and continental.

@BackupHangman Man i want Omega to win the title but MJF is red hot right now. wish they never got rid of the Unified Championship. could have been their Big Gold Belt

Holy shit

@KRodthebroad @AIRGold_ You mean his "fire up"/"fighting spirit" spots? Like when hulk hogan would "hulk up"?

@AIRGold_ He's great until he starts no selling for no reason

Stone Cold is a huge Kenny Omega fan! "He can work his ass off. He lays his shit in. Everything looks good. His psychology is off the chart. When I watch that guy, I'm like 'Hey man. When is this guy having another high profile match because I wanna watch it'. I dont watch enough [of AEW] but when that guy has a high profile match, I will watch because he is that good!"

@CShredwards @sw_holocron They still have that, man, it's called fanfiction.

@sw_holocron Canon shouldn't be a thing. Creators should be able to make whatever stories they want just like they used to in the old EU

The canon Star Wars comics got away with a lot in the early days of the Disney era, says writer Jason Aaron. “I think we benefited from the fact that there was so much going on when we launched that book. Disney had just bought Lucasfilm. They were going from not having done a movie in a while to now doing a whole bunch of movies and TV shows and everything. And we kind of snuck through the doorway. We were the very first new thing that came after that. “We wanted to grab for big important beats. We wanted the book to feel like you needed to read it. Like this was important. This is not just what they did on some random Tuesday between the movies. There’s a lot of big beats that happened between A New Hope and [Empire Strikes Back], and we wanted to grab for as many of those as we could. And I think we were able to get some of them just because we snuck in so quickly. “I think if that had happened six months later, they probably would have said no to a lot of those things, but I think there was so much going on. They were like, sure, you could do that beat where Darth Vader hears the name Skywalker for the first time in relation to this mysterious kid who blew up the Death Star. We’ve got Luke Skywalker fighting Boba Fett. And we’ve got Jabba the Hutt and Darth Vader meeting and all that kind of stuff. I think even a few months later they would’ve said, no, you can’t do any of that, but it was benefited from sneaking in. Sneaking out of the gate really quickly.” (Source: thepopverse.com/comics-marvel-…)

@katiecat446 @feederofcats I'm babe?

@feederofcats babe wake up there are 2 new entries in the “top 10 photos of wonton ever taken” list

I'm literally being accosted for a bite of chicken tender

@CinemaTweets1 I don't have a take on the film - haven't seen it yet. But I do love in your review you say how it's hitting us over the head saying we need to unplug, and then you basically say, yes I hear that all the time on 24/7 cable and my news feed I'm not unplugging from.

@CinemaTweets1 I wonder if the film was meant to be corny or campy as some might say. I think sometimes ppl forget not all cinema has to be ~cinema~

It pains me to write that I unfortunately didn’t find Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die (🌟🌟) to be an enjoyable viewing experience. I say this as someone who absolutely loves Sam Rockwell & director Gore Verbinski. I also say this as someone who’s desperately looking for reasons to positively promote cinema. But my number one objective in running this account is to maintain credibility with those who read my reviews. All of that is to say I can’t in good faith recommend this movie because I found the story unoriginal, the filmmaking fake, and the acting underwhelming. The story here follows Sam Rockwell, who plays a man from the future that is now visiting a diner in Los Angeles for the 117th time. Why? Rockwell’s time traveling, bomb-strapped, fast-talking “future man” is recruiting a team of random, average folk to help Rockwell fight against phone addiction and AI takeover. The story sort of dovetails into multiple threads that give us backstories on the patrons Rockwell recruits on his 117th trip, while also synthesizing these backstories with Rockwells present mission- which is, as I mentioned, to break the societal phone addiction & impending AI takeover. Gore Verbinski’s filmography has an incredibly wide range: the highs are high & the lows are low. On one side of the spectrum, films like Pirates of the Caribbean & Rango (which won Gore an Oscar) demonstrate that when Verbinski gets it right, few in the industry are better. Films like The Lone Ranger or even The Mexican might suggest that Verbinski’s “floor” can go a little lower than you’d expect. But that massive range within Verbinski’s filmography is a good sign to me because it’s a sign that he’s a director who’s always willing to take risks- even if it results in films that don’t meet expectations. Such is the case with Verbinski’s latest. He takes risks here, but most don’t pay off. For starters, the story here is just way too straightforward & way too in-your-face. As if I’m not already exhausted enough from listening to every talking head on cable TV scare us into how bad our phones are for us, mixed with every think-piece in the world that lectures us on how AI will replace our jobs & end our lives. I get it: the world is in a fucked up state. But this story sort of hits you over the head with the obvious over & over & over again. For example, Rockwell’s opening monologue in the diner of startled patrons is totally forgettable. I didn’t find it funny or clever in any real way & instead it felt like a Boomer screaming up at the sky about how our phones & AI are ruining everything. We already know they’re ruining everything. Say something more interesting about where we are or give us something to chew on- don’t just complain endlessly with no meaning. It’s not just that the story is incredibly obnoxious, unoriginal & lacking any semblance of strong writing, it’s that the filmmaking is also extremely disappointing. The lighting & production design in this entire film caught my attention because I couldn’t ignore how bad everything looked. Not a single set, not a single scene, looked like it was shot anywhere but on a soundstage in Burbank. Nothing about the filmmaking- nothing about the camerawork- interested me. I found the editing borderline distracting, including & especially during Rockwell’s monologues, in which we were deprived of basically any continuous shot- it was just constant cutting. And mixed within subpar writing & poor filmmaking is just flat-out bad acting. That includes Sam Rockwell. I’ve long admired Rockwell’s body of work & I think that when he wants to be, he’s one of the best actors in the industry. But this performance was- dare I say- corny. I also think every actor in this film suffered from the aforementioned fake filmmaking. You could feel actors in this movie acting against green screens and fake backdrops. I think at a certain point, too much technology in the making of a film hurts the actors. This is one example. If you’re reading this review, I would skip this film.
