We're a week out from the release of 1-800-STARSHIP! The series follows a regular guy working at an 80s diner and arcade who comes across an old comic book with a mysterious phone number inside. After calling it, he's approached by a strange man in a DeLorean who tells him of a distant war against an impossible alien threat. Do you have what it takes to be a Nova Slinger? Find out Sept 16! amazon.com/1-800-STARSHIP-J-…

teapawt.net/danydrinkswine/s… Jim Carrey on the difficulties he faced while portraying a normal "human" in 'Liar Liar' (1997): "I looked at the script of 'Liar Liar' (1997) when I first signed on and I went, "you know okay I don't have a green head, I don't have to spend 3 hours in hair [& make up], I don't have to freeze my skull" just whatever that is and all the things that I've tripped into before and I thought, "this is perfect, I'm human" What I realized [later] is that the internal thing that's going on [with the character] was even more physically demanding than than some of the stuff I've done before because I'm constantly in hell and trying to suppress myself." ["Making Of Liar Liar", 1997]

Will Smith said he wasn’t interested in doing Men in Black until Steven Spielberg sent a helicopter to bring him in for a meeting. “He said the coldest sh*t. ‘Tell me why you don’t want to make my movie.’ & then he goes, ‘I made Jaws, right? I made E.T.’”

The Punisher already appeared in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 in 2004. Thomas Jane was supposed to cameo as Frank Castle but got blocked by a contract issue - so Raimi used his stunt double instead. 20 years later, Jon Bernthal finally gets it right

Daniel Craig said the reason James Bond movies got serious and dark was because of Austin Powers movies “We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f*cked us. I am a huge fan, so don’t get me wrong, but he made it impossible to do the gags.” teapawt.net/VideoChannel134/status…

It’s insane that we still haven’t had a sequel to this masterpiece. What is Peter Jackson doing? He should let someone else direct it if he doesn’t want to do it anymore.

In Spider Man (2002), the original Green Goblin mask was a detailed animatronic with glowing eyes and lifelike movement, but it was scrapped because Sam Raimi and the studio felt it was too scary for children and toy marketing.

Wesley Snipes’ performance in Demolition Man (1993) is completely unhinged. He bleached his hair and leaned hard into the satire once he realized the future world was meant to feel sterile, turning Simon into the film’s pulse instead of its antagonist.
In what movie did you like the bad guy more than the good guy?

Bruce Lee filmed his iconic fight with Kareem Abdul‑Jabbar in 1972, but it didn’t hit screens until GAME OF DEATH was released in 1978 - six years after Lee’s death.

One of my favorite types of publicity photos are those of animation artists with their 2D characters as if they were physically sharing the same space. Here’s a thread of some of them. Starting with Don Bluth and his pack of adorable dinosaurs from THE LAND BEFORE TIME.

#TheLionKing singer Lebohang Morake, who performed the iconic chant in “Circle of Life,” is suing a comedian for mistranslating the chant's meaning. The song begins with the chant: “Nants’ingonyama bagithi Baba.” Morake’s lawsuit points to an episode of the “One54” podcast where comedian Learnmore Jonasi joked the chant translates to: “Look, there’s a lion. Oh my god.” “Such viral statements, [the lawsuit] says, are interfering with Morake’s business relationships with Disney and his income from royalties, causing more than $20 million in actual damages. The lawsuit also seeks $7 million in punitive damages,” The Guardian reports. “The complaint argues that Jonasi presented his translation ‘as authoritative fact, not comedy’ so it shouldn’t get the first amendment protections afforded to parody and satire that make fun of other artistic works.” variety.com/2026/music/news/…
