The contrast is stark. Disney, once a dominant force in family entertainment, is now facing declining popularity and numerous issues. Meanwhile, a road has been named in honor of Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative figure who promotes traditional values and has gained a large national audience.
20th Century Studios is showing short previews of the upcoming movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, when Avatar: The Way of Water returns to theaters. But viewers won’t see all the previews in one visit. Each showing will feature just one of the three clips, so fans will need to go to multiple screenings to see them all.
Sony Pictures has set an October 9, 2026 release date for their new film, *The Social Reckoning*. It will be released alongside *The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender* from Paramount Pictures and *Other Mommy* from Universal Pictures. October will also see the release of an untitled film by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and a reboot of *Street Fighter*.
It looks like four different Tron Ares popcorn buckets will be sold at movie theaters around the United States, costing anywhere from $15 to $75. Considering these are official Disney items, the higher prices aren’t too unexpected.
Jenna Ortega, who’s become incredibly popular thanks to her role as Wednesday Addams and her amazing dance moves, is a leading actress today. She’s built a strong career with parts in shows like *Jane the Virgin* and *You*, and films including *Beetlejuice Beetlejuice*, *X*, and the *Scream* movies.

The 2025 Emmys perfectly showed how Hollywood often *appears* to care about good causes more than actually *being* committed to them. Host Nate Bargatze introduced a straightforward idea meant to be fun: winners who kept their acceptance speeches under 45 seconds would earn more money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, while longer speeches would result in less funding.
The ornaments are made by a company called Homacus and feature many popular copyrighted characters, primarily from Disney – think Beauty and the Beast, Stitch, and Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. They also include characters like The Grinch, Shrek, and Chucky and Tiffany from Child’s Play. The ornaments depict these characters in a wide range of poses, some of which are suggestive or even quite explicit. Homacus even posts AI-animated versions of the ornaments on TikTok, and they’re surprisingly risqué.
This happened after the law firm Morgan & Morgan asked Disney if they were allowed to use the original Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse. Disney simply responded that they don’t offer legal opinions to outside companies. Now, Morgan & Morgan is asking a court to decide if their use of this early Mickey Mouse design violates Disney’s copyright.
After watching *G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra* (2009), *G.I. Joe: Retaliation* (2013), and the reboot *Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins* (2021), I realized what’s been holding the movie franchise back. I believe the *G.I. Joe* story, based on the popular toy line, deserves another try on the big screen, because it hasn’t been done right yet.
First Reaction – One Battle After Another is an overly long thriller.
