@DiscussingFilm What a completely stupid naming decision, should have been the search for more money

First teaser for ‘SPACEBALLS: THE NEW ONE’. In theaters on April 23, 2027.

@Wh_Escherick @anishmoonka Good grief. They are not slaves and are welcome to leave. Some people are fine working like that. It is well known in the industry. Sure, push for change, but after 3 movies there are plenty of people working on it who are not complaining.

@UncleShadow3 @anishmoonka Maybe some of the artists will die!

Sony hired over 1,000 animators to make the second Spider-Verse movie. More than 100 of them quit during production, burned out by schedules that ran seven days a week. The film made $328 million in profit. More than Oppenheimer. Sony bought the rights to make Spider-Man movies in 1999 for $7 million. Every Spider-Man film since has made over $11 billion at the box office combined. The animated Spider-Verse films are the most profitable of all of them, dollar for dollar. First film: $90 million to make, $384 million back. The sequel cost $100 million and brought in $690 million, and Deadline calculated its profit at $328 million. Christopher Nolan's three-hour atomic bomb film made $201 million by the same math, $127 million less. There's a simple reason why: Sony keeps all the money from the animated films. When Tom Holland makes a live-action Spider-Man, Disney puts up 25% of the budget and takes 25% of what it earns. The animated films have no such deal. A 2023 Vulture report found animators pulled 11-hour shifts for close to a year on Across the Spider-Verse. Phil Lord, one of the producers, reportedly insisted on personally approving every shot, overruling the film's three directors and sending scenes back for up to five rounds of changes. Beyond the Spider-Verse was supposed to come out in March 2024 and is now arriving June 18, 2027. The release date changed four separate times. At a movie industry event last year, the directors said they refused to "run it back" and needed the time. An animator told Vulture back in 2023 that the third film hadn't even started while the second was still being finished. When this movie opens, the trilogy will have taken eight and a half years. The first film came out in December 2018. The original Star Wars trilogy took six. Sony scheduled Brand New Day (Holland's live-action Spider-Man) for July 2026 and pushed the animated film to 2027 so the two wouldn't steal each other's audience. They've also approved a Spider-Women spin-off and a Spider-Punk film that Daniel Kaluuya is co-writing. Two animated films cost $190 million to make and earned $1.08 billion back. Sony gave this team four years because every number on the spreadsheet said to.

@ScottTowers3 @BiblicalBeauty @benshapiro youtu.be/F-ofKxfYqGw 1.9 million views (not counting all the content created from this video). He is willing to hear people out.

@UncleShadow3 @BiblicalBeauty @benshapiro

Tucker Carlson doesn’t want you to know this, but he is literally doing the work of Satan now.

@TCNetwork Muhammad is 100% in the Bible: Matthew 24:11.

The people in charge don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus. Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity. Today's Morning Note newsletter covers Masoud Pezeshkian's condemnation of Trump's “desecration of Jesus,” the Iran War's gutting effects on America's housing market, Colombia's plan to murder Pablo Escobar's hippopotami, and more.

@BiblicalBeauty @ScottTowers3 Excellent response. They think this is a “gotcha”. If you are a @benshapiro OG fan, you know he has been fighting the good fight for a lot longer than most people. “Waaaa!! But he isn’t perfect!!!” And you are?

Ok. Surprisingly, even though he is not a Christian, Ben Shapiro frequently does the Lord’s work by speaking the truth, exposing evil, and encouraging people to go to church. God’s common grace is evident in him, and prayerfully, one day soon, he’ll come to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

@Nerdrotics I have high hopes for this one.

If it was 2005 and Viggo was returning, this would still be a stupid idea. At least Mount Bros. isn't going to remake Lord of the Rings, yet.

@LostHistory9 I tried watching it 5-6 times, just hoping if I made it a little further it would get better. Just horrible decisions everywhere. Could have been the most successful TV show ever if done right.

Got tagged in something earlier regarding this slop and I thought I should say something: The #1 reason why Rings of Power is, and will likely forever be the worst adaptation of Tolkien's work is because it is so blatantly antithetical to the canon that I can literally go frame by frame, and in the blink of an eye, no hesitation, point out canonical inaccuracies. I could probably do it in my sleep. I'm not being hyperbolic when I tell y'all that it gets nothing right.

@SaraForTexLege I was told we have the best economy right now. 🤷‍♂️

I almost posted something identical yesterday. I went down the soda aisle and in that moment just decided I couldn’t afford Diet Coke anymore. And it’s not that I don’t have $9, but the cost vs value just doesn’t math anymore. Grocery prices are a full blown crisis at this point, and I’d really like to see some congressional action on price gouging. Because starving people living in the same country where grocery conglomerates are posting record profits is not a sustainable model. The greed has gone too far. Time to rein it in.

@JohnStossel Your YT channel is like free education that cuts through the noise. Thank you and your team for all their labors.

Nostalgic memes spread misleading messages, like: “Once, families could own a home & send their kids to college on one income.” But the homes were smaller. Most kids didn’t go to college. The memes ignore facts. We give them to you:

@DefiantLs Please tell me this is an act. What is the from?

I still think about this.

@worthitorwoke I was out when I saw the “he/him” insanity.

At this point, it's what I expect from my breakfast cereal.

@Brettdasovic Nothing about this movie has me excited. Thor has been ruined, tired of Pascal, no Guardians, the actors hate me, everything movie leading up to this was trash. Don’t even get me started on the TV shows.

If that marketing budget is accurate, you are looking at what? $1.75 billion as a conservative break-even point? Even if it profits, how is the risk worth it? One good, stacked Avengers movie will not quell the apathy around superheroes in 2026. We will not see anything like phase 3 Marvel again. It was a cultural phenomenon that simply can't be recreated with money and brute force.

@Savsays Pray for your enemies, sister. You are doing amazing work. THE LORD SEES.

I'm waking up with a headache and stiff neck this morning due to how violently anti-ICE activist, Chris Ostroushko, shoved me down yesterday. A second angle shows that he had to be held back by 5 men as he continued to charge at me. I didn't speak a word to him all day yet he repeatedly called me a bitch and very clearly looks like he wanted to violently hurt me even worse than he did. I'm happy to report that charges will be brought against this man, his wife and daughter.

@MattWalshShow That new ad from @NHTSAgov has a white dude killing a 4 year old while driving high. Based on a true story. Makes it look like it happened in a small town. Nope, Long Island: abc7ny.com/amp/post/cops-…

I Looked Into Why Our Roads Are Getting Unsafe And What I Found Is INSANE

@lastofcam This is really depressing.

This is what being married with no kids looks like.

@aakashgupta Put this in the “everything is killing me column”.

Your washing machine runs at 57°F. The CDC says bacteria die at 160°F. That's a 103-degree gap between what kills pathogens and what you're actually using on your underwear. And Procter & Gamble spent the last five years making sure you'd widen it. They enlisted Ice-T, Stone Cold Steve Austin, the NFL, Walmart, Samsung, NASA, and the World Wildlife Fund to convince America to wash in cold water. Cold water loads went from 48% in 2020 to 57% in 2023. Their Cold Callers campaign alone drove a 39% sales lift for Tide. The reason is carbon math. 90% of washing machine energy goes to heating water. P&G needs cold water adoption to hit net-zero by 2040. So they built campaigns around "$150 savings a year" and ran them during peak inflation. The sustainability math works. The microbiology doesn't. P&G's own internal data, published in a peer-reviewed microbiology journal, showed 44.7% of US households now wash over half their loads on cold. The same paper found that enteric bacteria require hot water, bleach, or both to reach acceptable risk levels. Cold water with regular detergent leaves viable pathogens on fabric. A University of Arizona study found 44% of home washing machines tested positive for fecal bacteria in the drum. Front-loaders are worse: a 2025 Frontiers in Microbiology study measured bacterial loads nearly 1,000x higher in front-loaders than top-loaders. 90% of bathroom towels carry coliform bacteria. One load of underwear can release 100 million E. coli into the wash water. And at 57°F, that bacteria doesn't die. It transfers to the next load. P&G solved their carbon problem by creating your hygiene problem. The $150 you save on energy is buying you a washing machine that functions as a bacterial trading floor.

@RenoMcDallas @ImKingGinger None of us our great Christians, so you’re in good company. 😝

@ImKingGinger Jeremy is just not a good person. I still can't believe he told people to deny Christ because "it's easier." I'm no great Christian but I'd never deny that Jesus is my Lord and Savior.

A few months ago I sent an email and applied to be an editor for The Quartering. During the exchange I told him he needs more than an editor, he needs a trustworthy producer I've built a successful live podcast studio before. So I know exactly what needed to be done. The producer is in charge of the show. The host is the face. But the producer runs the business. And that only works when you’ve got real trust between the two of you. Not “business partner” trust. Actual friendship. The producer is the one finding topics, building out the episode, doing all the prep work so that when the host walks on set, the only thing he has to think about is being entertaining. That’s it. The producer also can debate the host off camera, and help the host craft his positioning and arguments before going live. But most importantly the producer saves the host from himself. Thankfully, I rejected his ask to take all the risk and work for free and share in ad revenue. Especially in light of recent events, getting drunk on stream and acting inappropriately with women who aren’t his wife and are technically his employees. Without a producer no one is there to kill the stream. Nobody is sending him notes saying “you’re hurting the show right now.” He doesn’t have a single person in his life who can sit him down and say “this isn’t helping.” He has no one to assist him in show pacing and filling dead air. A good producer has skin in the game. If the show dies, so does the producers income stream. Same with the host. They are both invested. They both lose if the show blows up. That’s what keeps the whole thing honest. The Quartering needs a live producer. Somebody who’s going to keep him on track. I think a lot of streamers do. But most importantly The Quartering needs to find a local Church community with really good friends. I don't think there is much that can be done to recover his channel now. Apart from repentance and faith and medical rehab.

@WallStreetApes Tattoos on the neck. These are career killers.

Americans are finding its very hard to get a job in today’s job market “I just got denied from Walmart as a cashier. I have a f*cking master's degree, bro. I went to school for 12 years” He says he has applied for roughly 300 entry level positions with a masters degree “I have applied to over 300 companies and I've gotten response back from 11 of them. Why the f*ck do you think I'm applying to Walmart to be a cashier? Because no one is hiring. Why do you even post a job offering? You're not gonna hire anyone or respond.” Current job market data - Roughly 42% of recent college graduates (ages 22–27, bachelor’s or higher) are underemployed - This is also the case of advanced degrees - Right now data says it is not uncommon for job seekers to put in as many as 250 applications before getting a call back This is crazy

@fandompulse This series (written and animated) is loved by all of my children. There is so much depth to this story. Really good world-building too.

The Wingfeather Saga author Andrew Peterson explains why he constantly tells the animated series writers' "No Teachable Moments": "It’s important to me that this story operates as a story and not as a Sunday school lesson. Again and again in my notes for the writers on the show, I’ve written in all caps, “NO TEACHABLE MOMENTS.” At the dinner table afterward, you can find out what it has stirred up inside kids’ hearts and minds, what it is that they are learning. I’m a pastor’s kid and my antenna is always up. Any time I sense that there’s a moral lesson as the agenda, it kind of pours water on the story for me. My hope for The Wingfeather Saga is that it will be taken as a story first and will do this mysterious work that God has given stories to do in our hearts. It’s first and foremost an adventure with characters that kids can really identify with; we get to sit back and watch what the Holy Spirit does with it." What are your favorite moments from the books and the show?
