@olaoluwakiwms What are Loma’s best wins?

It is also wild how much their beef is because everytime I am back in either country they spend way too much time looking at my previous stamps (which are a f**k ton) and then act like it an affront I visited the other country. I just came to visit friends sir/ma

@vinnie_paz Stop it Pazz. Was he a world beater? Absolutely not. Was he very good at 147? Yes, he was. I know you don’t like PBC but don’t do that. Danny, Porter, Thurman were really good fighters. Dislike PBC’s business decisions all day, but don’t disrespect the fighters like that.

Thurman was never good, but it’s very telling that so many of you thought he was. his “best” wins were over fellow PBC hypejobs, and he got knocked around by a 76 year old Pacquiao. he’s been stealing money for close to 15 years, and he had no business being anywhere NEAR a championship fight. good riddance.

@Variety Yes. Nick Cannon is that dumb.

Nick Cannon let his politics be known on a recent episode of his web talk show “Big Drive," during which he called the Democratic Party “the party of the KKK": "People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves." variety.com/2026/tv/news/n…

@YoungDanielDad I was arguing about this last night with my brother. He asked me who I got and I said Thurman and he said are you crazy? Lol

Why did we forget how good Keith Thurman is? What could lead to that type of amnesia?

@TheChrisLambert @screenrant Both versions have moments that are very good and moments that are comically bad.

@screenrant Theatrical was judged appropriately. It’s a slashed to shit piece of shit. The Ultimate Cut is a decent movie

A decade on, though, it’s evident that #Batman v #Superman: Dawn of Justice was judged too harshly. It throws generic formula to the wind in favor of a darker, brutal reality. 🎞️ Read More: screenrant.com/batman-v-super…

@RAtheRuggedMan What Blu Ray player you using?

Netflix? Never heard of her ❤️

@RAtheRuggedMan Most people don’t even realize how much better the picture quality is on just a regular Blu Ray? 4K Blu Ray is a different level.

@TheChrisLambert Didn’t see The Lion King but Aladdin was terrible.

A number of people have said Aladdin and The Lion King, but both of those seem like prime examples of how soulless the live action versions can be

@TheChrisLambert Prisoners is as perfect as filmmaking gets

Nolan makes more popular films, Denis is the better artist from a craft perspective. Nolan relies on similar shots, montage sequences, and “Save the cat 202” storytelling beats to win audiences over. His movies wear their themes on their sleeve. Very little subtext because he’s purposefully appealing to the broadest audience he can. Denis has way more stylistic range and depth than Nolan. Like people may enjoy Interstellar more than Prisoners, but Interstellar, craft wise, isn’t on the same level. It has the major spectacle going for it and the sappy emotional core. But Prisoners has actual meaningful and nuanced cinematography, character arcs, and thematic development. Interstellar is what you show in a Welcome to Film 101 class. Prisoners is what you show to a more advanced group. When Denis purposefully lessens his craft for more popular movies, he feels more like Nolan. But overall, Denis is the stronger filmmaker with the more impressive filmography.

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K just came in. I’ve read the reviews about the transfer. Luckily for me I’ve never seen any version and some say this is still the best home video disc.

Can we get this trending? Who made the trade?

Was it Barron? We have a right to know. We need a name.

@DHSgov You control the White House, House, Senate and Supreme Court but it’s Democrats fault? Ok.

Thank a Democrat.

@KimKatieUSA And exactly why republicans will lose the midterms and the White House

IT HAS BEGUN: Federal agents arrested an illegal alien in San Francisco this morning while rabid Democrats lost their minds demanding agents’ names and badge numbers. Hell yeah this is exactly what I voted for. Enforcement is back, and the meltdown is glorious.

@linusesq My favorite living actor. It was a toss up between Bridges and Duvall. I just watched Hell or High Water last night for the 4th or 5th time. Jeff is just a special special talent.

Jeff Bridges.

@TheChrisLambert Currently watching The Martian on 4K Blu Ray. I wholeheartedly agree.

Cinema > other religions

@anishmoonka @JohnnyFocal It’s crazy to think that Pokemon has made triple to quadruple that since 1996. Just crazy.

George Lucas traded $350,000 in directing salary for something Fox executives thought was worthless: the right to sell Star Wars toys. It was 1976. Over 40 studios had already passed on his script, including Disney. Fox only greenlit the project because they wanted Lucas for other films. Nobody at the studio expected to make money on a space opera with no stars, so when Lucas offered to cut his directing fee from $500,000 to $150,000 in exchange for merchandising and sequel rights, Fox said yes on the spot. Movie merchandise was a dead business. Fox had lost money on Doctor Dolittle lunchboxes a decade earlier. They thought they were getting the better deal. Lucas couldn’t even find a toy company that wanted in. Kenner, a division of cereal company General Foods, finally bought the licensing for a flat $100,000. Then Star Wars opened. Between 1977 and 1978, Kenner sold $100 million worth of toys off that $100,000 investment. They couldn’t make enough for Christmas ’77, so they sold empty boxes with IOUs inside, promising to mail the action figures later. Parents paid real money for cardboard and a promise. Nobody around the production saw any of this coming. Alec Guinness, who played Obi-Wan, privately called the script “fairy-tale rubbish.” But he was shrewd enough to negotiate 2.25% of royalties instead of a flat fee. About 20 minutes of total screen time earned his estate somewhere between $50 million and $100 million. Lucas himself was so convinced the film would flop that he offered Spielberg a bet while visiting the Close Encounters set: swap 2.5% of each other’s profits. Spielberg took it. That handshake has paid him around $40 million. And then the money started compounding. Lucas poured his Star Wars profits into ILM, the effects house he’d built for the film. When its computer graphics division got too expensive to maintain, he sold it to Steve Jobs in 1986 for $10 million. Jobs renamed it Pixar. Disney bought Pixar twenty years later for $7.4 billion. Then in 2012, Disney came back for the rest, buying Lucasfilm itself for $4.05 billion. Total franchise revenue today sits around $46.7 billion, over $20 billion from merchandise alone. The filmmaker 40 studios passed on is now worth $5.3 billion according to Forbes. Fifty years ago today, cameras rolled on a desert in Tunisia. The $350,000 pay cut that made it all possible might be the best trade in business history.
