Audience Anticipation Survey Shows No One is Interested in ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’
By the time The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters this May, it will have been nearly seven years since there was a Star Wars film on the big screen. Many observers might expect some degree of anticipation. However, a recent survey of moviegoers suggests that interest in the upcoming film is surprisingly muted.
Writers Say Lucasfilm Won’t Allow Mara Jade in ‘Star Wars’
Mara Jade is one of the most popular Star Wars characters excluded from the official continuity. Now, writers working within Disney’s established timeline say Lucasfilm is not permitting her adaptation. While those comments apply primarily to the literary side of the galaxy far, far away, they reinforce a broader impression. Mara Jade appears to have little chance of making the jump to the screen.

While gamers wait for Grand Theft Auto VI to open for pre-orders, they now have some idea of how much the game may cost. For months, online speculation has suggested that the latest entry in the iconic franchise could exceed $100. However, in an interview with The Game Business, Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive (parent company of Rockstar Games), indicated a more conventional price range for GTA VI of $70–$80.
Shrek Donkey at Universal Studios Orlando Mocks Shrek 5 Trailer to Guests, ‘Donkey Looks Homeless’
The hype for Shrek 5 has taken an unexpected turn, as the highly anticipated sequel trailer is getting roasted across the internet. But the latest round of mockery isn’t just coming from social media—it’s coming from inside Universal itself. A performer voicing the animatronic meet-and-greet version of Donkey at a Universal theme park recently took jabs at the Shrek 5 trailer in front of guests, openly expressing disappointment over the animation quality.
Captain America: Brave New World Suffers Another Brutal Box Office Drop in Third Weekend, Marvel Film Will Struggle to Reach $400 Million
Captain America: Brave New World has managed to hold onto the #1 spot at the box office for a third weekend in a row, but there’s little to celebrate. The film brought in just $15 million domestically—a staggering 85% drop from its opening weekend and a 46% decline from its second weekend, making its top of the chart status more an indictment on the current state of Hollywood that an accolade for the troubled movie.
Kotaku Grossly Misquotes MrBeast Leading to Dogpile on YouTube Star, Outlet Quietly Edits Article and Buries Correction With No Apology
Kotaku, the gaming website notorious for misleading headlines and a diminishing staff, has been caught spreading misinformation—this time about YouTube’s biggest creator, MrBeast.
This most recent controversy stems from an article written by Kotaku writer Zack Zwiezen, originally headlined “MrBeast: Life Is ‘So Much Easier When You’re Broke.'”
The problem? MrBeast never actually said that.
How the 2025 Oscars Used Likely Illegal Criteria to Block Conservative Films from Consideration
Although the 2025 Oscars were tepid in their TDS, issues from the era of DEI still remained a strong force in the background. A requirement for diversity across a broad spectrum of creative and technical rubrics meant that many movies and documentaries that Americans loved were simply “unfit” for Hollywood’s biggest night. Americans, of course, give the ultimate award with money and viewership.
Disney-Owned Hulu Cuts Off Oscars Before Major Awards, Disney Drops the Ball on Big Live Streaming Opportunity as Viewers Rage Online
Hulu subscribers expecting a seamless Oscars viewing experience were left frustrated Sunday night as the Disney-owned streaming service suffered major outages and—worse—cut off its live broadcast before the most anticipated awards of the evening were announced.
Oscars Avoid Trump, Hollywood Elites Break From Recent Tradition and Actually Focus on Movies Over Politics
The 97th Academy Awards AKA the Oscars, made headlines, not for grand political statements, but for what was missing—any mention of President Donald Trump.
While Hollywood has long relished taking jabs at the current president, this year’s ceremony was eerily silent on political matters. Despite being one of the longest Oscar broadcasts in recent history, not a single presenter, winner, or host uttered Trump’s name. A stark contrast to years past, when late-night comedians and Hollywood elites openly ridiculed him at every opportunity.
The Story of WB Games and Monolith Productions: A Full Timeline of Ambition and Closure

The Urge To Surge: Pricing Strategies Old, New, and Constant, What the Disney Surge Pricing Strategy Really Means – An Editorial By LW Ghost
There’s a great hullaballoo going on about the Disney news that park admission prices may implement a “new” “Surge Pricing” formula designed to follow crowd patterns, making the cost of tickets go UP when demand is high (and, the implication—ONLY an implication with ZERO actual statement of this) and, go DOWN when demand is slack.

CNN Kathleen Kennedy Source Revealed, News Network Reportedly Fed PR Spin From Kennedy’s Publicist and Reported it as News
CNN took another credibility hit this week after it seemingly ran defense for Kathleen Kennedy in what now appears to have been a blatant PR move, according to information shared by Puck’s Matt Belloni. The network published an article contradicting Puck’s report that Kennedy is planning her exit from Lucasfilm—citing a vague, anonymous “source close to the situation” who claimed there was “nothing there right now.”
Now, Belloni has exposed exactly who that source likely was—Kennedy’s personal publicist, Simon Halls.
