The tweet on RM ends in an ellipsis before Tom Cruise appears in the story so I initially found the picture very funny

[Ello Sailor]

Tom Cruise relieved Dakhil of her duties personally, before relieving himself on her leg.

You're welcome.

[BurtReynolds]

Was that the tweet they got cancelled? Can't even say genocide anymore smdh.

I just read they’re going to start filming a Spinal Tap sequel in February.

Unity killed Weta Digital yesterday.

[Ello Sailor]

Not even close. Unity killed a deal they had with Weta FX, the division responsible for developing tech.

Weta Digital is fine.

[Rangi Guy]

What the hell are you doing up at this hour Sailor?

I read yesterday that Weta was going to absorb a bunch of Unity staff

[Ello Sailor]

I hit the hay too early, apparently. Must've overdone it in the gym, innit.

[BurtReynolds]

Not even close. Unity killed a deal they had with Weta FX, the division responsible for developing tech.

Weta Digital is fine.

I'm confused by the story, but it's my understanding that Unity bought part of Weta from Peter Jackson, and Jackson's part of Weta rebranded as WetaFX. Then Unity shut down their Weta.

[Ello Sailor]

Oh yeah. I got the names wrong. My bad.

Basically a very small part of Weta was purchased by Unity then killed off. But Big Weta™ is still going strong.

More supervision from executives. Yes, that's what these movies need.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Feminist propaganda + Anya Taylor-Joy. Burt is gonna have an aneurysm lmfaooo.

[Ello Sailor]

Looks great.

[BurtReynolds]

I saw the first movie, though you are right about my reaction to the slothfaced woman. plus its a prequel, so it's probably going to suck balls.

[Ello Sailor]

Elbows too pointy.

what an asshole

Marvel really hated Da Costa moving into another project.

[Jorge]

DaCosta delivered a movie of approximately the same level of quality that Marvel has been releasing for the last 2 years. The first-decade goodwill is finally running out and it's catching up to them. Of course their response is to throw her under the bus
