@ABs_Reviews @SCentralized They aired the same day but were separate episodes. I watched the first episode, but not the second. I think a lot of other viewers would have done the same. Getting through the 45 or so minutes of ep. 1 felt like an eternity.

@wizardofwidgets @SCentralized The first two episodes aired together.

Really sucks to realize that Skeleton Crew would be an extremely popular and beloved series if it had released like 4 years earlier

@PollSter_Mike1 The Phantom Menace

You’re introducing a friend to movies. Which one of these is your mandatory starting point? Cocktail 1988 or Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 1999

@MASKEDMANIACXXX Star Wars

Choose Only ONE…

@SWT_Channel The root cause is Disney aiming at the wrong demo. The focus should be on content appealing to boys ages 6-12. Historically, that's the group who've driven sales. Disney hasn't been targeting that segment.

What destroyed Disney Star Wars? A. Poor planning B. Ideology & Politics C. Betraying George D. Killing Legacy cast

@BaronDestructo Jadzia

The search for our ship's Resident Alien continues! (The Elite Eight) Choose!

@mikemoviez Back to the Future

@BlazeBinges The first was decent. 3 out of 5 stars. Annihilation was terrible. 0 stars.

Be honest… what do you really think of the Mortal Kombat movie?

@GRCinemaTicket Get Smart

Four TV Shows.....One Choice!!!

@RetroMoviesDB The Magilla Gorilla Show

Name a past cartoon modern kids haven't heard of...

@bestofStarTrek 1. I bailed on this early on. It didn't honor the spirit or history of TOS.

Rate Strange New Worlds on a scale from 1-10

@DiscussingFilm Cable is going to end up making a resurgence. There's too many players in streaming and costs keep accelerating.

Lionsgate has just added their new subscription MovieSphere+ to Prime Video as an add-on for $5/month Includes 100s of movies & TV shows including ‘Black Sails’, ‘Evil Dead II’, ‘Sorry To Bother You’ & Rob Zombie's ‘Halloween’.

Choose a Universal Monster Movie below... Dracula (1931) Frankenstein (1931) The Invisible Man (1933) The Bride of Frankenstein (1934)

@DWLundberg Respectfully, there's a lot more truth to this now than with previous generations. Streaming and algorithms changed the media landscape immensely. Young people aren't routinely exposed to older music, movies or tv the way they were 30+ years ago.

Not sure about the validity of this tweet, but it's funny watching people who've led such closeted lives try so hard to include the rest of us in their petty delusions. (I have a sneaking suspicion that people like this only know 10-12 people.)

@DoctorWhoWorld_ No. The entire Matt Smith era was a baffling mess though. I stopped even caring about any of what happened.

Did River Song's timeline make sense to you?

@GraceRandolph The R rating hurt MK2's sales. Preteen and teen audiences (13-17 y.o.'s) heavily drive ticket sales for video game movies. A PG-13 rating would have helped MK2 immensely.

#MovieMath is UP! #MortalKombat2 - let's do some Monday Morning Quarterbacking...what happened? #TheDevilWearsPrada2 & #MichaelMovie update #TheBoys S5 viewership & MORE! youtube.com/watch?v=jtrQQT…

@AmazingPopPod 6/10. Had a couple of pretty big laughs.

Bachelor Party 1984. What did you think?

Did you like James Doohan as Montgomery Scott?

@jason_breeceJB @Luiz_Fernando_J $80M production budget + marketing. This needs around $180M to break even. Ain't happening.

@wizardofwidgets @Luiz_Fernando_J Not how that works lol.

Updated weekend figures lower for #MortalKombatII, coming below projections but still with an ALL TIME RECORD debut for the #MortalKombat franchise and fighting game adaptations overall at US #BoxOffice! R-rated sequel #MortalKombat2 scores 38.5M on BIGGEST 3-day Opening weekend EVER for a fighting game adaptation, crushing both 1995 & 2021 #MortalKombat 23.3M 3-day weekends and #MortalKombatAnnihilation’s 16.8M weekend! I’ll post the weekend breakdown later when the final actuals come. Even so, the film saw #TheDevilWearsPrada2 stealing its thunder as the female centric film made the most of #MothersDay.

@mikemoviez Effectiveness is heavily dependent on viewing habits. The more horror someone watches, the more predictable and less surprising those moments become.

How do you feel about jump scares in horror movies? Are they cheap and lazy, or can they be effective? 🤔
