  • Barbie stays strong! Demeter sinks

    Barbie stays strong! Demeter sinks

    Epically bad numbers for the horror flick LAST VOYAGE OF DEMETER but Barbenheimer continues it’s odd summer rampage on the box office.

    While did the movie do so bad? Some have opinions.. we think people are bored with vampires, the marketing was bad, and this is not the magic week of summer for horror. Closer to September always works better..

    But from Deadline, they say this:

    Unfortunately, the tanking of Amblin/Universal’s $45M-costing The Last Voyage of the Demeter stands out like a wart, since we haven’t had many misfires this summer. Granted, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One‘s profitability might be in question next to their exorbitant Covid costs. But these pics have put up tentpole grosses in the nine digits, and have been mass draws (just not as massive as they were hoped to be). Note the filmmakers aimed to keep this period horror pic as cheap as they could: Exteriors were shot in Malta, while interior were shot in Germany, both those countries respectively having tax credits of 50% and 30%.

  • What was David Grusch talking about when he mentioned the “Holographic Principle”?

    What was David Grusch talking about when he mentioned the “Holographic Principle”?

    He said a lot.. But one of the most eyebrow-raising comments was on the Holographic Principle …

    John Greenewald did a quick search of the BLACK VAULT and came up with a potential hit that we should all read based on Grusch’s public testimony..

    The document was on a once SECRET document & experiment from the Stargate Program on Remote Viewing, in which Dr. Hal Puthoff was director.

    Others on X(ex-Twitter) are more incredulous about the documents..

    We can all be the judge..

  • Oliver Anthony hits a nerve: The message Americans are feeling right now

    Oliver Anthony hits a nerve: The message Americans are feeling right now

    Millions of people have watched Oliver Anthony perform RICH MEN NORTH OF RICHMOND on YouTube and other social media platforms over the previous few days–days.. Millions..!

    This reaction comment on his Youtube channel speaks volumes:

    I can’t listen to Oliver Anthony‘s “Rich Men North of Richmond” without getting chills. It’s raw, it’s true, & it’s touching the hearts of men & women across this great nation.

    Based in Virginia, he’s a farmer with three dogs. Inspired by Hank Williams Jr., Oliver’s music is being called an anti-Biden song..

    A X-(ex-Twitter)-thread from Jason Howerton after speaking to him:

    The Rolling Stone and others are already attacking..

    And as we post this story, we checked his X account.. And his message tonight: You are not just meant to born to pay bills and die.

  • Pornhub Suing Texas Over Age-Verification Law

    Pornhub Suing Texas Over Age-Verification Law

    They are among other sites doing the same..

    Here is what we know:

    “The Free Speech Coalition (FSC), a trade association that represents “hundreds of businesses and individuals involved in the production, distribution, sale, and presentation of constitutionally-protected adult content,” filed the lawsuit alongside 16 companies and one anonymous adult performer.”

    In the new Texas law, porn site users must be asked to provide digital identification; government-issued identification; or, public or private transactional data (mortgage, pay stub, etc.) to prove that they are adults and not minors.

    The law will also require porn and adult websites to display the following warnings:

    “Pornography is potentially biologically addictive, is proven to harm human brain development, desensitizes brain reward circuits, increases conditioned responses, and weakens brain function.”

    “Exposure to this content is associated with low self-esteem and body image, eating disorders, impaired brain development, and other emotional and mental illnesses.”

    “Pornography increases the demand for prostitution, child exploitation, and child pornography.”

    Applicable websites will also have to list the phone number for the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 1-800-662-HELP (4357)

    Pornhub and others fighting back.

    Keep on flapping in the free world.
