Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion all-cash takeover, per Deadline and Variety reporting filed this morning. The special meeting delivered a near-unanimous "yes" despite the open letter signed by more...
The Themed Entertainment Attractions report was released for 2024 and Magic Kingdom was, once again, the most visited theme park in the world according to the analysis. However, it wasn’t by much, and now, with some deep investigation into the numbers, there’s something true Disney afficionados (and perhaps investors) just have to see. It turns out, that when we apply the likely calculations TEA is using to determine the attendance, Magic Kingdom actually dropped in per session ticket sales.
Disney has worn its share of very expensive bruises at the box office. Prior to the post-pandemic trend of losing money on major blockbusters, Disney would often react strongly to a public failure. John Carter and The Lone Ranger are the two canonical examples that triggered boardroom autopsies and strategy pivots.
BlueSky, the platform often marketed as a “friendlier” alternative to X, is currently melting down in a rage. Users there have spent the past several days unleashing a torrent of abuse toward actress Keira Knightley — not because she said anything hateful or controversial, but because she dared to suggest that people with different opinions should learn to live together.
Yes, really.
The gaming press just can’t help itself. This week, GameRant published an article claiming Hogwarts Legacy 2 must follow its instructions to avoid the same “boycott” that allegedly haunted the first game. It’s a claim so absurd it borders on parody — because Hogwarts Legacy sold over 34 million copies.
In an apparent act of retaliation against the notorious Sweet Baby Inc detected list, an allegedly pro-DEI Steam curator list has been created, and it’s called “Sweet Baby Inc. Blessed.”
When The Simpsons co-showrunner Matt Selman told Entertainment Weekly that it would “destroy” Universal Studios to lose The Simpsons from its theme parks, you could almost hear the collective groan from theme park fans who’ve actually walked through Springfield lately.
When Ridley Scott — the man behind Alien, Blade Runner, and Gladiator — declares that “most modern movies are sh*t,” you’d expect the internet to light up. And it did. In an interview with Variety, the 86-year-old director claimed today’s cinema is “drowning in mediocrity,” saying he often re-watches his old work because new films “just aren’t very good.”
Remember when Microsoft could make Halo games and they were awesome? Remember when people played those games, paid for those games, and Xbox 360 was the leading console the world-over? Well… those days are long gone now, and the blame must be laid at the feet of Game Pass and a Microsoft cultural push that destroyed the very studios it devoured for intended domination.
In September 2025, Disney sent a cease-and-desist letter to Character.AI, forcing the platform to strip away all Disney-owned characters from its catalog. The company argued that unauthorized use of its intellectual property could harm its “family-friendly” brand, citing reports of “sexual exploitation, manipulation, and violence” involving its characters on the site. Character.AI quickly complied.
James Gunn seemingly can’t help himself. The man who was hired to “save” DC has instead made himself its unofficial mascot — and not in a good way. Every announcement, every casting, every costume reveal, every social media fight… there he is. Gunn has wedged himself into every facet of the DCU, and audiences are starting to notice.
Walt Disney World has shut down a staggering list of attractions in 2025, with closures including MuppetVision 3D, Liberty Belle Riverboat, and nearly all of DinoLand U.S.A. On September 25, 2025, Drew the Disney Dude highlighted just how many permanent closures have...
In a move that has sparked heated debate in Central Florida, the Lake County Commission voted unanimously this week to rename Schofield Road as Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway. For those unfamiliar, Schofield Road runs not far from Walt Disney World and borders one of Disney’s strangest and most legendary creations: the Hidden Mickey forest — an aerially designed grove of pine trees planted in the early 1990s to form the world’s largest Hidden Mickey.
