What is an Xennial or an Oregon Trail Gen X? Let me explain this attitude-straddling group of North Americans currently in their 40s so you understand why sometimes we're jaded as all heck, and sometimes we're the silliest optimists: jendaviesgenxnerdblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/what...

An additional excellent movie maker (Rian Johnson) also wants to see #thehuntforbensolo - and Steven Soderbergh is willing to do it (and he can do it on-budget) - and @lucasfilm.bsky.social is on board - so what's the issue at Disney?

This is probably exactly what happened. And it is the first Predator movie I have contemplated seeing in the theatre because I've never been interested before, so they were right for some of us.

That's pretty much what Adam Driver's observations boiled down to in the Oct 20 AP article, so this "close source" is just confirming his observations were correct. And we should not be surprised - Kennedy is a woman, in an industry (entertainment) where male privilege still runs unchecked.

This! And Disney ought to realize that this is a trend that consumers want - challenging patriarchal attitudes and toxic masculinity - and Disney could choose not to repearlt errors, eg Gaston isn't allowed to be hurt by rejection (have another beer, his friends say): mmjordahl.com/2013/03/10/a...

As a social science prof I can confirm anecdotally that yes, learners want to develop critical thinking skills, and I meet lots of people have been hamstrung by education systems that shortchanged them on the essentials of media literacy and how to determine what is a trustworthy information source.
‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...
‘Opposing the inevitability of AI at universities is possible and necessary’ | Radboud University
Since the widespread release of ChatGPT in December of 2022, AI has taken over much of the world by storm – including academia. Most of this happened with very little pushback, despite a myriad of iss...

Yes, this is actual science. Fact-check something before you share it if there are no stated sources. If there are stated sources take a look at them to ensure they seem reasonable and legitimate. LLMs (ChatGPT, GoogleAI, etc) don't count because they just "scrape" everything including the crap.
Yup. This realization completely changed the way I use social media. I was being manipulated into engaging with and propagating bad takes. It hijacks human tendency to believe something that is repeated often enough en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusor...

Counting down to Nov 7 because my small town theatre was too small to get a screening. Can't wait! The Shape of Water is my favourite romantic movie.

Excellent idea. Sit through TROS too... Skipping the opening scrawl helps (a friend who was new to Star Wars this year suggested that, he was right).
I agree. I’ll be watching TFA today and then TLJ. Numbers are important to Disney. #TheHuntForBenSolo #THBS
I think it's a wonderful way, in addition to the meet ups, to drive up numbers on D+ for these Sequel Trilogy movies to show interest is back up and we are serious about this want for Han and Leia's only son to return.
