BREAKING! BOB IGER REPORTED WANTS TO SELL DISNEY TO APPLE?

The word bubbling up again which has been a rumor before is that Disney is looking to either SELL most of it's company's assets or perhaps the entire shebang! Now Apple once again is said to be interested. As we know Disney has been well not doing well financially. So when Robert Alan Chapek walked and BOB IGER returned as CEO of Disney a lot of fans were very happy. But then the movies that came out didn't hit very well the whole Florida vs Disney or better yet Ron DeSantis vs Disney happened, and well the company went so WOKE it might be broke as nothing they have put out has been underwhelming both with fans and at the box office.



The biggest companies affected in the possible sell I feel would be the Marvel Universe Comics, Movies and TV + Streaming. And the Lucasfilms films in Star Wars, Indiana Jones (Which has just released a bomb in 2023) and well now that the Disney Star Wars parks are coming down the whole thing left is Willow... Oh wait. They already ruined that also. Nothing much left to put out in Lucasfilms.



With Disney also buying FOX Studios it owns ALL rights to Marvel Films, and Lucasfilms. Now would I think they should do is sell Marvel to SONY and let Sony continue putting in place the MCU under Kevin Feige continuing his work. Sony has something good with the Spiderman / Venom films and should be a big player in buying the entire Marvel studios which would include the Films, TV and Streaming rights.



Than sell Lucasfilms back to George Lucas and let him continue his movies like he wants... The first thing I would do if I was Lucas is refuse to bring in the "sequel trilogy" and "solo" in continuity. Than totally reboot Indiana Jones! OR bring it for 1 last ride with Ford ASAP with someone like Chris Pratt playing another son NOT Mutt that Indiana Had with another woman who finds his dad as he needs him for one final ride, and really gives us something like the movie Indiana Jones and the last crusade and pass the baton to the new Indiana Jones. "Indiana Jones Jr" going forward with Pratt in the lead would be big! And I would let Lucasfilms come up with new material which has nothing to do with Star Wars for a while and give Pratt his own solo trilogy.



Sell off to Comcast the rest of Hulu and let Disney+ be the only streaming they have along with Fox being used for the entire film category in another Streaming platform or rent out the movie rights, and tv rights and let Netflix or others get shows and movies to stream in their platforms and pay Disney for their use thus bringing in a major payoff to Disney. Keep Disney+ for their legacy things not "Marvel/Lucasfilms" related.



See if ANYONE wants ABC? Good info in these videos below... Check these out for more info on the subject. Are we looking at the final days of the Disney company as we knew it? Looks like it. But we know one things folks this is the internet and it's only rumors, and nerd talk until these sales become reality. But hey! Where there is smoke there could be fire! So who knows.

The Writer strike continues! Check out this video by Sean Gunn!

So The Wrtier Strike in Hollyweird continues to rage on as overpaid Writers, and over paid Directors who consistantly create garbage movies these days are marching for more MONEY and now actor, and brother of James Gunn who can be seen in James Marvel trilogy "Guardians of the Galaxy" is speaking out against Bob Iger the CEO of Diseny pretty much closing the door in his ever being cast in another Disney movie. lol



But check out his Tweet below and like normal I got in on the fun so I also commented and well had to have some fun with these people... While real Americans go hungry, our borders are being invaded, we got cocaine in The White House where the worst President in the history of this country is sitting destroying our country we have to have these rich wannabe so called important people complain about not making enough money... It's incredible... The Rich can't ever have enough while us poor folk strugle to get by with things like patreon.com/angelespino just to survive.

Sean Gunn says “in 1980, CEOs made 30x what the lowest worker was making, now Bob Iger makes 400x what his lowest worker is making.”

Sean Gunn says “in 1980, CEOs made 30x what the lowest worker was making, now Bob Iger makes 400x what his lowest worker is making.” I agree there but Sean how about Directors, writers, and actors start doing better also? We the fans want better quality. Nobody is happy with what James Gunn is doing with Henry Cavill, and the Snyder fans have every right to be mad. But hey with FLASH bombing while James Gunnn said it was one of the best Superhero movies he'd ever seen this shows us what part of the problem is. But let's continue. “I think that’s a fucking shame Bob, and maybe you should look in the mirror & ask why is that? Is it morally okay?”

The amount of $ @RobertIger make is outrageous while not the only one. But let's be honest most movies these days are horrible. Are most these Writers & Directors worth the money when they consistently turn out garbage? Anyday now this will a movie! #Facts @JamesGunn @seangunn pic.twitter.com/9lk1R11m2S

Okay, now call out David Zaslav, your brother's boss, who also makes insane salaries.

Or are we not biting the hand that feeds your bro (and you, when you are closely involved in the new DCU), Mr Gunn?#BoycottWBD pic.twitter.com/P8ozUEVDIq

Not morally OK Sean but neither is this over sized amount of WOKE crap and hidden agendas these writers, and directors keep throwing into their scripts, and films these days... Oh and why is James Gunns name floating around on the list of people who went to the now infamous James Epstein island?

Matthew Lawrence lost Marvel role after refusing to strip for director

Actor and 90's teen idol Matthew Lawrence claimed he lost a role in a Marvel movie and was dropped by his talent agency after refusing to strip for a "very prominent" director. The 'Boy Meets World' actor insisted he has been "propositioned" a number of times in his career and he's still particularly shocked by his alleged treatment after he refused to get naked during a private meeting in a hotel room with the unnamed Oscar-winning filmmaker. Just based on this, timeline and reputation I'm thinking this oscar winning Marvel director was probably Bryan Singer who's had major backlash over the decades since he started directing X-MEN movies.



On his podcast 'Brotherly Love', Matthew said: “There’s been many times in my life where I’ve been propositioned to get a huge role. I’ve lost my agency because I went to the hotel room, which I can’t believe they would send me to, of a very prominent Oscar award-winning director who showed up in his robe, asked me to take my clothes off and said he needed to take Polaroids of me." Singer who is openly gay has been in hot water in the past for somewhat simular situations. Wouldn't put it past it being him but I don't want to say for sure cause it could be anyone. So I'm just speculating for now. Can't confirm just a gutt instinct.



“And then if I did X, Y and Z, I would be the next Marvel character. I didn’t do that, and my agency fired me because I left this director’s room. The 43-year-old actor didn't say when the alleged incident happened or what film he was supposed to be discussing. Matthew also hit out at the double standards that occur when male actors have spoken about being subjected to sexual harassment in their working environment, compared to the experiences women have when they share details of how people have behaved towards them.



He said: “Terry Crews comes out and says it; people are laughing at him. People don’t support him. They kick him out. "Why? Because he’s a man that represents masculinity, and I think our society is less ready to hear that situation going on with men than they are with women.



“Not a lot of guys in my opinion have come out and talked about this in the industry. There is also this same situation. Now granted, it’s probably about a third of what women go through. The amount of men… Men go through this as well, whether it’s another woman or another man in power.”

WAKANDA FOREVER OPENS BIG! But was it worth the hype?

Ok so we're all caught up here friends! 

Wakanda is a fictional country appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Wakanda has been depicted as being in East Africa. It is located in sub-Saharan Africa, and is home to the superhero "Black Panther". Wakanda first appeared in Fantastic Four #52, and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Now with that said the first movie was ok but nothing special, and this was my feeling pre the passing of it's star actor "Chadwick Boseman" who played the role of T'Challa aka the "Black Panther" himselff.

The overall box office last weekend was $209 million, with 87% of that coming from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s $181 million opening. This weekend will be dominated once again by the MCU film, which has a good shot of topping the charts until Avatar: The Way of Water opens on December 16. The main question is how well it will hold and how much it can prop up an otherwise weak box office, which saw no other film even make it to the double digits last weekend, an unfortunate stat that is likely to be repeated this weekend (in better times, the second weekend on the first Black Panther had three other films above $10 million). This weekend’s overall box office has a chance of staying above $100 million, but that would require a “better than the usual blockbuster” hold from Wakanda Forever. A 60% drop for the sequel would put it at $72.5 million this weekend, which is reasonable to expect, and in that scenario the rest of the box office would have a hard time lifting the overall numbers up into the nine digits, barring any surprises from the newcomers.

The hope is that Wakanda Forever holds much better than this year’s previous MCU films Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder (which both dropped 67-68% in their second weekends), even if it doesn’t prove as durable as the first Black Panther (down just 45% in its second weekend, which is good for any film and especially great for such a huge opener, ranking as the second best weekend two hold ever for a film to open above $150 million and the fourth best grossing second weekend). A drop of 53% would be enough to give Wakanda Forever the tenth best second weekend gross ever with roughly $85.2 million, but as great as that would be, it seems like a long shot.

If it drops akin to recent MCU offerings, that would be a roughly $60 million second weekend which feels like a worst case scenario, but that would still give it a 10 day cume in the high $200s which is a great spread, even if it’s not enough to save the overall box office. As of Tuesday Wakanda Forever has a gross of $205 million, and there’s a small chance that by Sunday it will become the year’s sixth film to cross $300 million, which would make it the fastest to do so of any film this year (so far Top Gun: Maverick holds that claim with 11 days) and tie it for 12th on the all time fastest list (the first Black Panther is tied for fifth, getting there in just eight days). It’s more likely that it will get there during the week, but it could tie Maverick for the year’s fastest or tie for second along with Multiverse of Madness if it gets there in 12 days.

Joining the fray this weekend are some smaller titles, though don’t expect much from the counter-programming. Searchlight has the most potential with their fine dining genre film The Menu, which marks the widest release ever for the label with 3,100 theaters. The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult as diners at a high end restaurant where the chef (Ralph Fiennes) has something more sinister in mind than simply feeding his customers. A comp here is Searchlight’s 2019 release Ready or Not, which opened to $8 million and stretched out to $28.7 million.

Critics love The Menu (91% on Rotten Tomatoes) and the other genre fare in theaters has largely run its course, so it could have a solid run. Less is expected from She Said, which Universal is bringing to 2000 theaters. The film stars Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan as New York Times journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor who reported on Harvey Weinstein’s history of sexual misconduct. An optimistic comp here would be Bombshell, which grossed $5.1 million in its first wide weekend (from 1,480 theaters) and went on to gross $31.8 million, but that had more star power and perhaps a wider appeal in its content and lighter tone. Reviews are great (86% on Rotten Tomatoes) and there is some awards buzz particularly for its leads, so hopefully this $32 million budgeted drama can find its audience.

Also in the mix is the five theater New York and Los Angeles launch of Luca Guadagnino’s romantic cannibal thriller Bones and All. The United Artists Releasing film stars Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet, and Mark Rylance and expands next Wednesday ahead of Thanksgiving.

Christian Bale is Playing Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder

WOW BIG NEWS! Early on this year, it was reported that Marvel and Taika Waititi had a role being offered to Christian Bale for a role in Thor: Love and Thunder. Tessa Thompson later let slip that Bale was cast as the film’s villain. With this, fans quickly began debating which member of Thor’s rogues gallery he would bring to life. But during Marvel’s Disney Investor Day presentation, Kevin Feige revealed his character’s identity. Bale will battle Chris Hemsworth’s God of Thunder as Gorr the God Butcher when the sequel arrives in 2022.

Writers Jason Aaron and artist Esad Ribic introduced Gorr in their first storyline for Marvel’s Thor series in 2013. He was raised on a nameless planet and, after experiencing the loss of his wife and children, was exiled by his people after declaring that there were no gods. When he discovered that gods did exist, he sought vengeance against them for failing to protect his family.

Gorr isn’t the only character from Aaron’s Thor run who will make an appearance in Love and Thunder. Natalie Portman is also coming back to the franchise as Jane Foster, who will wield Mjolnir herself as the female version of Thor.

Thor: Love and Thunder marks Bale’s return to the superhero genre after The Dark Knight Rises closed out his Batman tenure in 2012. The movie’s cast is also rumored to have Chris Pratt reprising his role as Peter Quill/Star-Lord from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films. However, this is still unconfirmed.

Thor: Love and Thunder hits theaters on May 6, 2022.

🎙INSIDE THA JACKALS HEAD W/ Mark McKenna

Welcoming back the iconic Illustrator of some of my favorite comics which include DOOM PATROL! Which is one of my favorite comic series ever. I read them as a kid, and his run on Flex Mentallo is awesome, and it’s one being used currently on the TV SHOW!

But Mark McKenna has had an amazing run in comics spanning over 3 decades now. In that time he has worked on Batman, Wolverine, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and more recently on Star Wars, counting close to 600 comics or more by now.

PSN RADIO / SoFloRadio · Inside Tha Jackals Head W/ Mark McKenna

Mark’s work can be seen in Legendary Picture Books PACIFIC RIM movie prequel as well as Dark Horse Comic’s Star Wars-The Old Republic: The Lost Suns. In 2012 his work on the online web comic titled “Star Wars: Blood of the Empire” was collected into an 84 page trade paperback and was the lynch pin for the 2012 released Bio-ware online video game, The Old Republic. DC and Marvel have collected Mark’s work in multitudes of titles such as Doom Patrol, Venom, Deadpool Classics and Exiles.

Mark has also created, written, inked and published the Sci Fi/Horror COMBAT JACKS comic book mini series. The COMBAT JACKS Collection which collects the 144 page mini series into a hardcover mini series is NOW available.. under Mark’s Banana Tale Press imprint.

His children’s book series Banana Tail and Friends is a labor of love that he created when his daughter was four and had a newborn son. The BOOnana Tail Halloween Special was released for Halloween 2014 and was treated as an “all ages” comic project that continues to grow with children that had the original storybooks read to them as younger children. The other Banana Tail titles include; Banana Tail’s Tales and Activities, Banana Tail’s Colorful Adventure and the soon-to-be-released Banana Tail and the Checkerboard Jungle. He was so nice to send me his first books of Banana tails years ago, and as an avid collector I can’t thank him enough. Awesome stuff for kids, and hope more of his work is in peoples hands as they tuck their little ones to bed at night.
