The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – Season 2 - VFX by DNEG now they’re working on Season 3 🔥 #ringsofpower

@GaleraMica @FilmUpdates The Magician’s Nephew has never been adapted into film.

@FilmUpdates girl we are all allowed to imagine it by reading the books. you're just given immense wealth to adapt into film books that have been already adapted into films 😭

Greta Gerwig on her upcoming ‘NARNIA’ film: “It was the book of my childhood. It was the book series that I loved, and I lived through, and I spent so much time imagining myself inside of Narnia… It’s been a joy and an honor to be the person who gets to imagine this universe.”

@matushka1976 Well if you believe that one pressure stat going around, he did better than Wyatt Teller at RG 😅

Worst-case outcome: Chargers get the same player Miami got in pass protection: a guard who can be late to sort blitzes/stunts and who needs help more than you’d like. The risk is real because Strange’s 2025 szn included examples of miscommunication vs. pressure looks, and his pass-block grade was poor all year even though I thought he improved as the szn progressed.

Every one is perplexed at why the Chargers got Cole Strange to play their starting RG. It's a McDaniel-Barry decision and Hortiz just listened to them. Strange is much more comfortable as a movement/run-game Guard than a clean 1:1 pass protector. ✅Above avg. in outside-zone/play-action structure ✅Avg. in straight-ahead run-game consistency ✅Below avg. is obvious passing situations, needs help Let's look at the best, most likely and worst case outcomes.

@TeawithTolkien 🙌

I’m in the paper!

New Lord of the Rings drawing, an homage to the Ralph Bashki movie poster drawn by Mike Ploog! Drew this just for fun. Love these books (and movies) so much. Created with marker, pencil, and ink 😊 #lotr

Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece has been announced as an 'Official Supporter' of Doctors Without Borders

@LA_Chargers10 No! Should be the answer to this ridiculous request. Fuck these guys for starting a war.

@alexfrmdaygo Need another OL in Day 3 IMO.

👀👀👀

@sunderedseas I think it looks great as well. Different style and color grading. But still quite a feast for the eyes 🤩

people keep saying this looks bad but compared to the other 3 movies this looks significantly better

Reading Dune. Frank Herbert was cooking.

@TheVeiledBolt Same 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Destiny's calling. Hopefully winning a Super Bowl together is part of it.

Sure, your eyes aren’t tricking you. That clip looks better than the new trailer, and the reason has nothing to do with talent. The VFX supervisor on Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014? Jerome Chen. The VFX supervisor on Brand New Day? Also Jerome Chen. Same person. Completely different system around him. In 2014, Chen had 50 effects artists at Sony Imageworks, the largest VFX crew the studio had ever put on a single project. They handled about 1,000 of the film’s 1,600 VFX shots on a $255 million budget. The crew shot on real film (not digital), on location in actual New York City, scanned Times Square with 36,000 photographs of over 100 billboards, and built physical lighting rigs on set so the CGI would match the real world. Now look at how Marvel makes Spider-Man movies. No Way Home had 2,500 VFX shots spread across 12 studios and about 3,000 artists. The budget was $200 million, $55 million less than TASM2 despite having 56% more VFX shots. Digital Domain, one of the VFX vendors, was delivering final shots days before the December 17, 2021, release. They kept reworking shots into mid-January, after the movie was already in theaters. Zoom out, and the math gets worse. Marvel released 6 films between 2008 and 2012. From 2023 to 2025, they pushed out 7 films and 7 TV shows. The Hollywood union representing VFX workers reported that Marvel pays artists about 20% below industry average and staffs one person where other studios hire three. Artists described 64-hour weeks and breakdowns on the job. Then, in February 2025, Technicolor, the parent company of MPC (three-time Oscar winner for Life of Pi, The Jungle Book, and 1917), collapsed almost overnight. 4,500 jobs gone globally. The studio had been actively working on Disney and Paramount films when the lights went out. Brand New Day has four months before release, and trailers routinely show unfinished shots. But the gap between a 2014 Spider-Man and a 2026 Spider-Man has nothing to do with technology going backwards. The industry has been asked to do three times the work for less money per shot while its biggest studios are going under.

@kingDluffy23 Wished we had more episodes. Not going to happen though 😭

One piece season 2 has been well received by both critics and audiences, but what are the things that you would like to see improve in season 3?

@kingDluffy23 @davidHa42730515 Maybe a weird one month break like Netflix did with certain shows like Stranger Things or Bridgerton 😅

@davidHa42730515 Never happening with Netflix 😭

Question for you all: what was your favorite speech or line of dialogue in season two? I’ve been reflecting on Poppy’s speech in 208 and it’s really meant so much to me. But there are so many other great speeches or moments of dialogue this season! #TheRingsofPower

"What's broke is broke, and won't fix".

@HailDeanThanos Waiting for that @AaronWilson_NFL tweet.

How much guaranteed? 🤔
