As everyone waits for Disney to open the Avengers Infinity Defense, this news is bound to impress lots ofvAmericans who couldn't otherwise afford Disney tickets. So Disney will adopt dynamic pricing, charging less in low season and higher in high season just like airlines.
However, this raises some major concerns, main one being that some people might be priced out of tickets because Disney will obviously milk the high season for every penny they can squeeze out of people.
With charges increasing for customized guided tours and other premium in-park services that are being introduced, I'm also worried that middle-class buyers (Disneyland's couch class) will have a terrible experience as the company tries to get them to buy pricier packages. We've seen it with Airlines already so why will it be any different here.

The first images are out as Jumanji 4 goes into production, and the premise sounds interesting. Apparently, the characters now join the real world. Now, this could only mean that something really serious is going on in Jumanji, if it is still there at all. I'd really love to see where they go with this angle, but this sounds like the most explosive plot they have come up with yet.
Unfortunately, I'm still worried about the film having all the hype, especially because of the stars on board, and then churning out a mediocre end product that doesn't meet expectations.

I used to see film producers as the privileged bag men and women of production, but this demand by Producers United has changed my view on the matter. With fewer films being produced and big studios seeing producers as "menial labor," Hollywood runs the risk of alienating this important aspect of production and rendering some of the industry's brightest minds jobless.
The new rules set by the organization might not really help much since many big studios don't even recognize Producers United since they are not a labor union, unlike writers, actors, and directors. So, is it high time the role of a producer was redefined? Because at this rate, despite being seen as the responsible party for the final product, they just don't get the credit they deserve anymore.

Now, I've seen fit individuals struggle to climb fewer steps than that, so this sounds like a tough rule to impose on a population that loves your franchise. Besides, what about parents and guardians of advanced age, or children with disability? I do understand that admitting physically fit individuals reduces liability for the park, but this sounds like discrimination to me.

Gangs of London may have received renewal for season 4 but now we have something to really worry about. Pulsèfilms, which has been the production company behind the show since Season 1, has left the project due to restructuring at its parent company. The show will now be overseen by the Vice LA offices, so it will not be in the UK anymore. This is a major shift that could affect the production of the fourth season. However, I'm hopeful that the show retains its consistently explosive scripts with a lot of creativity and originality because it is one of the best shows ever based on a video game in my opinion.

This is absolutely wild!
In the latest news, GameStop has announced December 6th, 2025, as their "Trade In Anything Day," so everyone can literally walk into the store with any item that can fit into a box and walk out with store credit. Of course, there are a couple of exemptions, such as dead or living animals, guns and ammo, toxic waste, and the like, but I don't think they have exempted nearly enough items. It is also unclear how the valuation will happen. I'm still waiting for chaos to unfold because I can't rule out gamers showing up with the most shocking personal items imaginable!

Previously on.... was actually one of the most important aspects of a show for me while growingup, and still is,, but Amazon's latest AI-upgrade is about to change that. The feature is still on trial, but THR reports that AI will now build a quick summary of important plot points from past episodes to give viewers a glimpse of what to expect. I have a feeling that what AI considers important could not be what we are used to.
I understand, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but it sure is going to replace an important feature of series as we know them. For traditional users, it might actually be disappointing knowing that the intro is just an AI deciding what was important in the previous episode.

With so much Saudi money to go around, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood got a big boost. However, the Saudis have instead chosen to invest in the most hated branch of Hollywood. Luma AI CEO was seated alongside the CEO of Particle 6 when they announced the controversial AI actress Tilly Norwood was getting a talent agent in Hollywood.
The Luma CEO said they were working with multiple studios in Hollywood, but undercover. At that time, the total investment in Luma wasn't anywhere above $100 million. Now imagine what they can do with $900 million and access to some of the world's largest data centers! This could see Luma AI build 1000+ Tilly Norwoods, which is catastrophic for the industry.

DC and Marvel finally fixed all the damage done by Joe Quesada (when he was Marvel EIC in the 2000s, he kind of took the 'friendly rivalry' too seriously and treated DC as a business rival instead of a friend) and started publishing crossovers again!

Earlier this year, we got Deadpool/Batman, an anthology series with a bunch of stories from a number of Marvel's '''top''' creators, the main story being written by Zeb Wells (hence the quotation marks) and drawn by Greg Capullo.

Today, we get DC's effort, Batman/Deadpool. I won't bore everyone with the details, but the main story is written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Dan Mora - which personally, is like, the most perfect combo I could have ever asked for.

So, anyone else interested in what's inside? I'll probably be back with highlights after I read it.

But untiol then, I might as well share a few of the many, many variant covers I already know I'm going to be suckered into buying:

Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Take Two has raised an important issue in an interview with CNBC. He said that the future of gaming is on PC which has left me wondering, are consoles unsustainable?
The price of consoles has kept rising, with the demand for better hardware pushing old consoles out of favor before users get value for their money. Besides, having the best console doesn't exactly mean access to all the best games, unlike on PC where options are almost unlimited. So, could consoles be out of the market soon?

So Kevin Costner has decided to go all political, playing Bill Clinton on a mission to East Timor in 1999 in an upcoming series. I personally think Costner should stick to Westerns, but after the failure of Horizon, I have no problem with him taking this role. The only problem here, and I think many people see it too, is that Costner just doesn't come off as the rigt person to play Bill Clinton.
Besides, we are talking actual political drama here, and I just can't see them avoiding the Lewinsky angle on this one. I'm still eager to see what they come up with, though because it sounds interesting.

Replacing humans with AI is now everyone's concern and gaming has been hit really hard. As fans descend on Arc Raiders for doing exactly that, Dispatch's Nick Herman and Michael Choung have had some harsh words for studios replacing people with AI. Choung was especially correct when he said studios are super-quick to embrace technology once it hits the "good enough" rating which is just wrong because that way, creativity is totally removed from the development process.
Herman said "AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative." Choung was equally livid with studios trying to replace the human touch. He said "We're not getting up every morning and talking to ourselves like, 'hey, what if we did this with less people? What's the lowest number of people we can use to make this thing?' This is like not nothing that we're too concerned with,"

I understand that in Hollywood, a good film must have a sequel, but then, some things are better off left the way they were created, and I think that is the case with The Goonies. According to Ke Huy Quan, Chris Columbus, and Steven Spielberg have had a script accepted, so a film could be released really soon.

I do understand the wealth of talent on board here, but then, it has been 40 years of roses and The Goonies has earned this legendary status as one of the best films ever created. Is it not wise to just accept it as a one-time masterpiece that shaped the industry and let it rest?

Paramount Skydance has been quick to deny Variety's story about David Ellison teaming up with three Middle Eastern wealth funds to fund their $71 billion bid for WB, and I totally understand. Keeping WB intact for that amount is a bargain that most people would take, but then that partnership would really hurt Paramount's reputation. Ellison has been doing his best to front Paramount as the America-first media company, so taking $21 billion to give a share of WB wouldn't nearly tie into that narrative. Trump may have secured $1 trillion in Saudi investment, but don't be fooled, not everyone would gladly hand them Superman, even at that price!

However, I'm concerned that the story may become too stereotypical in the third season as creativity wanes. After Fallout, I think Twisted Metal and Gangs of London are the gold of video-game-based shows, and I think more are still to come.

According to James Cameron, Alita has never left his mind despite his busy schedule. “Robert Rodriguez and I have sworn a blood oath to do at least one more Alita movie. In fact, we’re thinking of an architecture that bridges to a third film, but we’ll be satisfied if we can make one more. And we’re making progress on that,” he told Empire Online.
With Avatar: Fire and Ash almost done, I'd be thrilled if Cameron picked up Alita once again because it was such a great film, and I don't think the first film explores nearly enough of that universe.

Pierce Brosnan gave the character a lot of importance in Black Adam, although his dedication wasn't enough to save the 2022 film. Besides, Snyder's DCEU was largely short of new ideas at that point, so the writing wasn't great either. Brosnan has said he is open to playing the role again, and while he hasn't confirmed that he is the one playing, he confirmed that he was told the character would appear in the next Superman film, which is likely Man of Tomorrow. It is not exactly groundbreaking news, but if Brainiac is the big bad in the film, then I totally understand why Fate could be such a strong weapon for the good guys. I'm not so sure about this one, though, because Gunn doesn't seem so keen on pulling DCEU characters into his universe.

So, Calum Worthy's genius idea is an app that lets people speak to avatars of their dead loved ones. I gotta say, the idea isn't very popular as everyone is bashing it in the comments section. The app is being launched through his AI company, 2wai, which has been condemned for having glitchy apps in the past. The video itself is creepy, starting with a pregnant mother speaking to a hologram of a dead granny who is later seen speaking to a 10-year-old boy. Like, who wants to open their phone to ask their dead grandparents for advice about their day!

This is another instance of a celebrity with a platform using AI to promote an insanely depraved idea. I don't think it is any different from the Tilly Norwood saga, really. Surely AI can be used to create more important tools than this.

When Wheel of Time was first announced, I actually believed it had the potential to compete with Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings. Robert Jordan's WOT World isn't just bigger than LOTR; it is vast, deep, and extremely detailed. There was actually enough room to run the show for up to 10 seasons, add prequels and sequels, and a lot more. Unfortunately, the show failed to pick up in the first season, and that was pretty much the beginning of its end. The show picked up in the second and third season, but while reviews improved, viewership numbers just didn't keep up, and there was no way Prime Video was gonna continue funding it. It was supposed to be the streamer's flagship show, but it just didn't gain enough popularity.
I still hope it can find another home, but I don't see that happening because you need a studio with really deep pockets to hire a team that can execute something this big. Rosamund Pik,e however, bellieves that the show failed because of our cancel culture, which didn't give it enough time.

“The fans said season 1 wasn't good enough, which I think I agree with, for multiple reasons. We were beset by COVID in the middle of our shooting. We had some heads of department change. Then, by season 2, we knew what we were doing, and we offered up a much better season. By season 3, I think we had our wings fully spread, and we were showing where we were capable of going, and there was a really well-acted, well-written, cohesive, deep show that was attracting powerhouse actors to come and play supporting characters. I think we showed what we were capable of doing with that material. Of course, you wonder, had we started off at that place, would we not have been canceled? Maybe. I think we're possibly victims to the terrible churn factor of people wanting to show that ‘We've got a new show.’ It's all about what's new,” She told Collider while on the tour of Now You See Me, Now You Don't.

Tom Cruise finally got an honorary Oscar at the Governor's Awards 2025, and while it feels deserved, it doesn't even feel sufficient. In any list of dedicated actors that more than deserve an Oscar, Tom Cruise gets in every every 99 times out of 100, so it is baffling how it has taken this long for him to bag an honorary one.
The whole room seems to have felt the same as they gave him a near two-minute-long standing ovation before his speech. He said making movies is not what he does, it is who he is, and surely, I couldn't agree more. Congratulations to him.

I actually didn't think Harvey Weinstein's public image could get any worse, but that is exactly what Del Toro's latest comments on the brothers have done. According to Del Toro, dealing with the brothers on his 1997 film Mimic was worse than having to rescue his father from kidnappers in Guadalajara, Mexico. His comments have left me wondering about just how bad the Weinsteins could have been.

The Office's Rainn Wilson expressed support for Baldoni in texts, praising him for not apologizing quickly and encouraging him to do a story about the whole thing. I personally feel sorry for Baldoni because Lively and Reynolds are Hollywood's darlings and he just didn't stand a chance in this battle.
Also, being sidelined from the premiere of your own film while someone else uses it to market themselves and make money is so hurtful. Now, I don't know the extent of Baldoni's involvement in Lively's alleged harrassment, but I think Lively and Reynolds totally milked the fallout for all it was worth.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set for a record number of Oscar Nominations after Wicked for Good and I think they deserve ì this time around. The two have become the new faces of the World of Oz, and I think Wicked for Good will be the best Hollywood film of 2025.
