Isn't it odd that the Aliens movie franchise keeps going but E.T. just kinda disappeared from the zeitgeist?

It appears, the US is now threatening Norway’s Nobel Committee, over them not giving Trump a peace prize for not bringing peace to Ukraine.
Fox News host asks Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna if she thinks The Nobel Committee will give Trump a peace prize, and Ms Luna replies:
“Most certainly… if The nobel Peace Prize Committee knows what is good for them, they will do the right thing and nominate him.”

If they remake the Snowwhite movie MAGA congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna will be able to do the role of the evil queen perfectly without having to act at all. Malevolent threats flow naturally right out of her mouth.
Paulina (edit)
EU capitals are drafting detailed plans for post-war military deployments to Ukraine, backed by US capabilities, Ursula von der Leyen said. She stressed security guarantees as “paramount” while touring eastern EU states to boost defense readiness.

Playing around with a waterproof camera at the edge of the bay. Two underwater shots and one at the waterline. It’s weird to purposely submerge a piece of electronics, but it was fine as promised.

Grizzly 2 just showed up in my Netflix, starring the very young cast of Laura Dern, Charlie Sheen, and George Clooney.
Grizzly 1 must have done well enough for that to happen.

For watch parties with streaming movies like #KungFuSat & #Monsterdon, I usually do:
- Mastodon in web browser, window tall & narrow at 1 side of screen
- Movie on other side thru "picture-in-picture" mode
But soft subtitles don't appear in PiP mode
So for this movie in Mandarin, I have another browser window open. But that also shows all the Youtube stuff around it.
Any ideas how to get rid of that?
If I adjust window size to hide the rest, video gets smaller & rest is still visible.

Speaking as a veteran of doing the same, it's a matter of alternating the two activities. Speaking for horror movies whose primary draw is gore, I for one take a hard pass on it like I did with Jaws. Never saw Jaws, never wanted to, and I can fairly say the same for movies compared to Jaws, so Grizzly is out for me.
A lot of these bad movies have sections where they spend entirely too much time on one scene, presumably for building suspense, and that's when I divert myself to play Hashtag Games. That's how I do it, and it's doable. 😀
Monsterdon begins at the same time as Hashtag Games but it ends when the movie is over. You can pick up Hashtag games when the movie is over, too.

Please understand that
- a post like that is a scam;
- you should NEVER believe that account; and
