Michael Bagdasarian, son of Ross Bagdasarian Jr., confirmed that:
🔹 The Chipmunks will NOT become influencers.

The Call of Duty movie has officially locked in a release date!
The live-action film is set to hit theaters on June 30, 2028.
The story will take place in the Modern Warfare universe, bringing one of the franchise's most iconic settings to the big screen.
Are you excited for this movie?
Only a fool would deny that... I'm getting tired of all this anti-AI bullshit. It's just a very efficient automation tool with specific affordances that can be well used or badly used. OK, there are still some hiccups in terms of efficiency but this is mostly an engineering problem together with an illiteracy problem from the part of some users.
"The Star Wars director, George Lucas, has added his voice to the growing chorus of film-makers receptive to the rising use of AI tools in moviemaking.
Speaking in an interview with A Rabbit’s Foot, Lucas, 82, said: “Artificial intelligence means it’s much easier for us to make movies.”
Resistance to the technology, he said, was “very much like sitting here saying: ‘Well, I believe the horse and the buggy is really where it’s at. These cars, they break down, they need gas, there’s all kinds of problems with them and pretty soon they’ll be making them into tanks, and then they’ll be killing people. It’s terrible.’”
Adoption of such tools, continued Lucas, was an inevitability. “There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s progress, it’s the future.”
Lucas is not the only director of a Star Wars film to have come out in favour of AI. The British film-maker Gareth Edwards, who made Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and most recently Jurassic World Rebirth said generative AI “is a fucking genius at helping you”."

What do you think of this new direction?
George Lucas believes AI is the future of filmmaking.
Speaking to A Rabbit’s Foot, Lucas said AI will make it much easier to create movies, adding:
“There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s progress, it’s the future.”
He compared AI to the arrival of the automobile, arguing that every major technological shift faces skepticism before becoming part of everyday life.

"Many of us grew up watching hand drawn Disney and now it's gone. We don't talk about this enough.
Every frame of this video was painted by hand, by a human being. Every single one.
According to the Smithsonian, The Little Mermaid, released in 1989, was the last Disney feature made with the hand-painted cel method. The very next film, The Rescuers Down Under, released one year later, went digital.
Today, everything chases realism. And somehow, the more real it looks, the less alive it feels."

I watched it twice tonight, once to see what it was about. Then I got my son and we watched it together, he doesn't have any Warhammer knowledge outside of my recent ramblings, but he enjoyed it very much because of the over-the-top action and the visuals. I liked it for the same thing too, the 20-minute episode looks so good and is visually stunning.
Don't watch it if you're squeamish about violence and egregious bloodshed.

For people who were either not born yet or were too young, let me try to convey just how monumental of an impact Jurassic Park made in 1993.
It still remains the most successful and influential film in the franchise to this day. It’s currently the 12th highest grossing film of all time adjusted for inflation
It spawned tons of merchandise and video game adaptations. When it came out on VHS, it was played in school classrooms
The special effects in this movie set the bar for a decade
The recent passing of Sam Neill has prompted me to calculate the worldwide gross income for each “Jurassic” movie, adjusted for inflation. Here they are ranked from highest to lowest:
Jurassic Park (1993) - $2.5b
Jurassic World (2015) - $2.3b
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) - $1.3b
The Lost World (1997) - $1.2b
Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) - $1b
Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025) - $904m
Jurassic Park III (2001) - $698mSam Neill starred in the highest & lowest grossing #movies

Another American film!
A friend gave me that DVD (Gattaca) many years ago, when I did not think about God.
Now that I know the truth, I see Gattaca is another movie telling a corrupt version of the true story. So many movies do this.
The life is in the blood.
One man gave his blood for us that we might live.
That man is, of course, Jesus. He is our perfect sacrifice.
The resonance in this story probably caused you to like it.

The legendary actor, best known as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, has passed away at the age of 78.
From The Piano and Event Horizon to The Hunt for Red October and Jurassic World Dominion, his incredible career left an unforgettable mark on cinema.
Thank you for the memories, Sir Sam. Your legacy will live on forever.
The first trailer for DIGGER has officially been released.
Cruise stars as the world's most powerful CEO, forced to confront, and stop, a global catastrophe of his own making.
In theaters October 2.
Could this be one of the year's biggest films?
Assassination Games is a Van Damme family bonding vanity project as it stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, is executive produced by Jean-Claude Van Damme, co-produced by his daughter Bianca Van Damme, and features Jean-Claude Van Damme's son (Kris Van Damme) and daughter (Bianca Van Damme).
Bianca Van Damme shows much better acting chops than her father -- her character spends most of the movie in a coma.
Five minutes into Assassination Games there is a shot of a dog taking a piss on a sidewalk and that set the tone for the rest of the movie and its color grading. The movie is washed out and color graded yellow.
In 2011 when this movie was released Scott Adkins was 35 and JCVD was 50. The filmmakers had to go through some hoops to make it look like JCVD could hold his own against Adkiins.
For an action film this is heavy on talk and light on action which is disappointing because they underutilize the skills of Adkins.
