Ever watched an episode of Young Indiana Jones?

It seemed pretty fun when I saw one episode of it as a kid but I dont remember it all.

Seen it and I got excited at the fact that the Netflix shows are canonized for real.

And even after Cox reprised his role in No Way Home and She-Hulk.

LETS FUCKING GO.

Can’t wait. Love the Netflix show.

Movie studio market share in 2024:

Disney: 25.5%
Universal: 21.1%
WB: 13.3%
Sony: 11.5%
Paramount: 10.1%
Amazon MGM: 3.4%
Lionsgate: 2.9%
A24: 2.3%
Other: 9%

-Disney had a big bounceback year thanks to “Inside Out 2,” “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and “Moana 2” being the #1, #2, and #4 highest grossing movies in the domestic market, respectively. All three of the films have also made $1 billion worldwide or will reach that mark later this month. Disney was also responsible for jumpstarting the box office in 2024 thanks to “Inside Out 2.”

-Universal’s movies also made a big impact in the domestic market as well. “Wicked,” (#3) “Despicable Me 4,” (#5) “Twisters,” (#8) and “Kung Fu Panda 4” (#10) all made it to the top 10 highest grossing movies in the domestic market. They may not have a lot of IPs like Disney and WB do, but they know how to market their movies well. Universal has become one of my most favorite major studios in recent years thanks to their strong box office performance and their marketing.

-WB had a mild performance last year. Their biggest hits were “Dune: Part II,” “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” But the rest of the slates like “Joker 2” and “Furiosa” weren’t good.

-Sony had a mixed year. “Venom 3,” “Bad Boys 4,” and “It Ends With Us” were their highest grossing films in the domestic market. However, “Madame Web,” “Kraven the Hunter,” “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” and “Harold and the Purple Crayon” disappointed in the box office.

-Paramount came in last place among the major studios, but I think their films did better overall compared to their budgets than Sony did. “Sonic 3,” “A Quiet Place: Day One,” “Bob Marley: One Love,” and “Smile 2” were their best movies last year. “Gladiator II,” “IF,” and “Transformers: ONE” didn’t do well compared to their budgets.

First look at steamboat Another mickey mouse horror movie

@northern haste
Christ, that’s something I joked about once. Who keeps funding this shit?

@northern haste
For a second I thought it was a normal giant monster rat, but nope, monster mouse with a human face. Disappointed.

@Angrybrony
Whose the pothead between the duck and Stone?

his from the uk comics.

@BlueYoshi
It’s weird how theatres are open on holidays despite malls being closed and stuff. But congrats to IMAX for fighting Sarandos’ NEET culture mentality.

awooga!

What’s this trope/cliche called?

A zombie that’s smart enough to hide around a corner to ambush a survivor but also dumb enough to walk directly into a landmine that they see be placed right in front of them.

Failed a spot check.

@Dustcan
That’s the name?

It’s what TvTropes calls it, yes.

@Dustcan
Granted, it’s a more general term, not Zombie-specific, for when someone misses something really obvious.

nocturn season 2 was good.
