I'm making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it's recieved well, perhaps I'll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.

Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it's original.

Debian: the bookworm (heh), and the one who does everyone's homework.

Fedora: the popular rich girl.

Arch: the insufferable geeky nerd who reminds the teacher about the homework.

Mint: the new kid.

ChromeOS: the one who is desperately trying to fit in and be cool.

Manjaro: the one who vapes in the bathrooms.

Ubuntu: Tries to be like the bookworm, but reads comics instead of novels.

Gentoo: the perfectionist who insists on doing every part of the group project.

LFS: the principal.

MCU Spider-Man 4 is planned to release next summer, so they're good.

It wasn't a Nazi salute. It was a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, could be misinterpreted as a Nazi salute. I think we shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

$53 million global opening weekend sounds like pretty good business to me.

Unfortunately, the movie's budget is $118 million, not including the $80 million Warner Bros. spent to market the movie. And they have to split the revenue 50-50 with the theaters.

Factoring all of those, Mickey 17 would need to make at least $300 million just to break even.

And nothing of value was lost.

While the original TV series ran for six seasons on the streamer from 2013 to 2022, when it was announced last year, that Tommy Shelby’s story would continue as a film instead of a seventh season, however, after it was set to release on Netflix last June, Knight, who penned the screenplay, hopes it will also debut in theaters — for the passionate fans.

“I really want the Peaky fans who have been a big part of this to be watching it all together in one building,” he said. “The communication has all been virtual, but I do want this to be in cinemas so that people can sit there together and watch this thing happen.”

[...] The film isn’t necessarily the end of the story either, as Knight teased to Playlist he’s open to working on more projects, “As long as there’s an appetite for it and I’ve got stories to tell, then why not?”

So, are subs like /r/Mario and /r/Nintendo going to be banned for "encouraging violence"?

It's kind of crazy how bad that movie is.

And it still made $700 million.

Crazy indeed.
