In the first Guardians movie they were all after a big blue box. They should go find that again.

Excuse me, in the first Guardians they were after a small purple orb. A purb.

The big blue box (biblox) was in CapAm1 and Avengers 1 and 2.

The new mystery Karate Kid movie has been revealed to star both Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio and be set in the Cobra Kai-verse and YOU can audition to be the star.

Okay maybe your kid can audition but still...

I kept wondering how the show was still on. I’ve read synopses from it and it sounds far more insane than the third movie which is saying something.

So the star of the last two Scream movies has been fired from the upcoming sequel for criticism of the Israeli siege of Gaza.

quote:

Melissa Barrera is no longer starring in Scream VII. The actor was dropped from the project after a series of social media posts in the wake of the Israel-Hamas War.

“Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp,” she wrote in one post on Instagram stories. “Cornering everyone together, with no where to go, no electricity no water … People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.”

It was also reported that Susan Sarandon has been dropped by her talent agency as well for speaking at a pro-Palestinian rally on November 17th.

Hard to imagine how stupid 2001-2003 would have been if social media was really a thing. This is almost as bad though.

She had been with that agency for almost 10 years, so I'm not sure why this is the thing that was too much, if they were easily upset.

There was a lot of discussion yesterday when Spyglass fired Melissa Barrera what was going to happen with the other Scream star, Jenna Ortega. Well she won’t be back either but it seems like that has to do with money.

The specific comment that got her in trouble seems to have been “There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”

Her comment wasn't the greatest, but there are currently members of the Israeli government on TV there openly plotting ethnic cleansing. In comparison what she said was pretty tame.

Is the ‘stars presenting to be in the same room but failing’ genre so oversarurated that it’s not worth commenting on?

They’re not even trying, the closeups of Macchio would have Jackie’s shoulder in them if they even bothered looking at the mids.

Unsurprisingly Macchio does a worse job of selling this than Jackie.

LOL if Spyglass knew Ortega is leaving and then fired their other Scream lead anyway.

Ortega herself seems to supportive of Barrera in her IG stories. This was inevitable.

Ortega was reported to be cancelling her contract this morning and the sources that Deadline and THR are reporting are anonymous. It’s almost certain that Spyglass saw the way the wind was blowing and are trying to build a narrative that the reason Ortega is leaving doesn’t have to do with Barrera.

Yeah, Spyglass might want to spin this as an actress denying her fans a movie out of gread, it's a narrative studios have tried (and failed) to get going in connection with the strike.

They already did that with Neve. They're trying to spin the Ortega thing as her being too busy.

That franchise is gonna have a hard time recovering since they've pissed off their old and new fans now with how they've treated the lead actresses.
