Whoever was in charge of wrangling the press should be out on their ass, everyone shouting over each other like children.

As usual, the Washington press corps didn't exactly cover themselves in glory.

did I miss hear it or did he say the President of Mexico when he must have meant Egypt?

That's correct.

What Biden just did with the press didn't exactly do him any favors with the flub of referring to El-Sisi as the president of Mexico because that's all that the press is going to fixate on.

Man I just watched some of those influencer vids. That shit is ROUGH hahaha. And you'd like to think OK they're gonna be young, impressionable perhaps not even fully believing in their bullshit kids. Nope, grown men talking about how it's a personal betrayal to them after dropping hundreds of thousands into "the brand." 

 

My goodness gracious. 

Yes, but have you ever seen such tremendously monetizable content?

Moana 2, Disney Animation’s all-new feature-length sequel to 2016’s Oscar-nominated film, will be released in theaters in 2024.

The Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger announced today that Moana 2, Disney Animation’s all-new feature-length sequel to 2016’s Oscar-nominated film, will be released in theaters in 2024.

 

“Moana remains an incredibly popular franchise,” said Iger. “And we can’t wait to give you more of Moana and Maui when Moana 2 comes to theaters this November.”

 

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical Moana 2 takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers.

 

After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she’s ever faced.

 

Directed by Dave Derrick Jr. with music by Grammy® winners Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, Grammy nominee Opetaia Foa’i, and three-time Grammy winner Mark Mancina, Moana 2 opens in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024.

 

While Disney didn't disclose exactly how much of an ownership stake it acquired, based on the last estimated valuation of Epic's privately-held shares, it seems that this equates to 3% to 4% ownership which puts them just behind Sony's estimated 5%.

Disney is investing $1.5 billion for a stake in Epic Games, CEO Bob Iger said Wednesday, in its biggest bet yet on the gaming space.

 

The media giant will work with the Fortnite studio to create new games and an entertainment universe where consumers can “play, watch, shop and engage with content, characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar and more,” Disney said in a press release.

 

“Our exciting new relationship with Epic Games will bring together Disney’s beloved brands and franchises with the hugely popular Fortnite in a transformational new games and entertainment universe,” said Iger in a statement.

 

Disney did not say what the valuation of Epic, a private company, would be after the Disney funding.

Do you know how much money they made off of that content by getting a ton of eyeballs on it?!?!

Last night's "human confirmation" prompts were probably triggered by the Invision Community network outage that led to the site's cache being unable to load properly for a bit of time.

Claims that Xbox exclusives could be coming to PS5 have led to a community…

I guess I'm just a bit more sanguine about this entire situation vis-a-vis its potential overall impact on the Xbox than I probably should be!

do we have a specific time this official statement is coming, or is it still “this week”?

"Next" week.

You could be right.  But, why would they say they are going to have a "state of the business" stream if there wasn't going to be something new?

Phil's comments were informal statements given during interviews.  What's upcoming will be an official articulation of the strategy.

The more I think about it, the more I've come to the conclusion that genuinely does appear to be the execution of what Phil has been saying for ages that platform exclusives would be determined on a "case by case" basis.

He said it in 2020 when the Zenimax acquisition was announced and reiterated it again when Starfield released.

The Ukrainians are learning a harsh lesson that the Kurds and many others have learned throughout history:  the United States of America simply cannot be trusted.
