CRUISE CONTROL
Tom Cruise was the reason the MUMMY melted down this summer at the box office.. so says new reporting in Hollywood circles.. Apparently the star was fully in charge of the movie..
FROM VARIETY
There were few signs that a major blockbuster was about to premiere when “The Mummy” rolled into Manhattan last week. The marquee of the AMC Loews Lincoln Square Theatres had gone blank. The carpet was totally covered with black plastic. Security only let guests past barricades after quizzing them about what they were there to see, and everybody had to walk through two imposing metal detectors.
Inside the theater, Tom Cruise was jubilant, as he stood in front of the crowd. “Hey y’all,” said the 54-year-old actor. He introduced Alex Kurtzman, the film’s director, as well as the cast members, who stood quietly as Cruise delivered a 10-minute improvised speech. “Movies aren’t made by single people,” he said. “It’s a team effort.”
But in the case of “The Mummy,” one person–Cruise–had an excessive amount of control, according to several people interviewed. The reboot of “The Mummy” was supposed to be the start of a mega-franchise for Universal Pictures. But instead, it’s become a textbook case of a movie star run amok.
As Hollywood is playing the blame game on what went wrong on “The Mummy,” which had a measly domestic opening of just $32 million, many fingers are pointing to Cruise. In the same way that he commanded the stage at the film’s premiere, leaving his cast standing awkwardly by his side, several sources close to the production say that Cruise exerted nearly complete creative oversight on “The Mummy,” essentially wearing all the hats and dictating even the smallest decisions on the set. On stage, Cruise admitted his own perfectionist tendencies. “I don’t just make a movie. I give it everything I have and I expect it from everyone also.”
Universal, according to sources familiar with the matter, contractually guaranteed Cruise control of most aspects of the project, from script approval to post-production decisions. He also had a great deal of input on the film’s marketing and release strategy, these sources said, advocating for a June debut in a prime summer period.
Tom Holland ready to bring in the Spidey Bacon
Inside sources hoping or praying: The first tracking figures are in for next month’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” which is on course to earn in the neighborhood of $90-108 million domestically in its opening weekend on July 7th.
That’s erring towards Sam Raimi’s first “Spider-Man” in 2002 which made $114.8 million in its opening weekend, and a big improvement on Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” which made $62 million in its three-day domestic opening.

Megyn Kelly Exposed by Alex Jones in Leaked Audio Recordings
I figured something was up last week when Megyn Kelly visited the set of Alex Jones.. Jones told her to sit in the same chair that Matt Drudge sat in in 2016.. She was joking with him while on his set of his daily syndicated Youtube and radio program..
All friendly..
Then ..
The real interview.. people angry that NBC gave Jones a major voice – though he most likely was one of the biggest influences on the 2016 election of anyway.
And now this: Controversy! Jones has the secret tapes!
More from the DAILY BEAST:
Alex Jones, the conspiracy-theorizing host of the Infowars website whose controversial interview with NBC’s Megyn Kelly is set to air Sunday night, has fallen back to the argument of every disgruntled interviewee: “They took me out of context.”
Except in this case, Jones may cause serious trouble for Kelly, who he apparently took the precaution of covertly taping in pre-interview calls and, he claims, the interview itself, which he is now publicizing on Infowars and his YouTube channel. And in those clandestine clips, the former Fox News host appears to promise to go easy on him in the interview.
In one 30-minute video Jones published that included extensive audio of a pre-interview call with Kelly, the new NBC hire appeared to promise the interview would be a softball personality piece.
“My goal is for your listeners and the left—you know, who will be watching some on NBC—to say, ‘Wow, that’s really interesting,” the voice that appears to be Kelly says. “It’s not going to be some gotcha hit piece, I promise you that.”
In the mean time, you can contain your excitement over the media furor with this from INFOWARS: The leaked audio tape..

Positive words. Positives vibes. Let's try together!
OR S O W E A R E T O L D !!
If you pay attention to modern media, you are blasted by by the negative sensation that has become pop culture.. It is deriding and divisive.. it is hateful and intrusive.. It attacks the very pit of your soul and insults the top of your brain. It connects you to nothing but further hate. Further animosity.. further connection to darkness...
And then come the hate-filled words. You don't even know you're saying.
Each time you say the following you connect yourself with negative repercussions:
I hate life.
People suck.
The world sucks.
Nothing good happens.
You can't trust anyone.
People's intentions are awful.
I'm broke.
I am in debt.
I can't get ahead.
No one likes me.
I have no friends.
I have no future.
I may as well die.
THE UNIVERSE IS LISTENING!
All of the time..
When you send out an intention, such as "I have no friends," the universe responds accordingly. It is thus. You said it..
"No one likes me." The universe says OKAY..
I am broke. You are.
I have no future. The universe will agree.. if you're intention will be to have no future, the universe will not get in your way.
x x x
The real trick is not to just fake it til you make it, but believe the fakery.
"I Have a future." The universe will agree..
(Only if you believe it)
I have friends. The universe will permit such, if you think it is true.
The intentions you have dwelled on for so long, those negative ones, are so deep in your psyche that you will have a rough time escaping the emotion.. escaping the words..
But to change, you have to..
I don't win many things in life. I play the lottery but with the millions of others, it would be logical fallacy to believe I can muster enough luck to get the $700 mill jackpot.
But there was ONE time I recall, about 15 years in the past, when I entered into a raffle.. the grand prize was only about $100. When I entered my name in the raffle, I IMMEDIATELY knew I would win. It just came over me.. it was one of the few times I was connected to the natural order. To the flow of the universe.. I just KNEW I would win. And when the raffle winners were announced later in the day, I have nervous pins and needles in my stomach because I knew my name would be called. It was.
My wife had an equally similar experience about a week ago at a casino. She never gambles. She literally just stopped by with a friend. She knew she'd win, and won enough cash to pay for the brakes her car needed. It worked out.. Somehow the universe aligns when you ALLOW it to.. when you accept it.
The 'I always lose' concept gets stale. The universe, however, hears it so much that it starts to believe YOU when you say it.
Just start saying something different.
I am going to try.. I am going to experiment. I want to change my reality.. So to do so I need to believe my reality has changed.
This is an experience I'd like some help with. If you feel yourself to be in the same rut, the same insane space of media drain, go with me. Take a trip down this path.. put another log on the fire and let's sit around it and ask for some positive vibes by sending some out .. you are among friends.
GOP rep. received threatening email with subject line 'One down, 216 to go...' after lawmaker shooting | TheHill
“This morning, our office received a disturbing message referencing the tragic shooting that wounded House Whip Rep. Steve Scalise, U.S. Capitol Police officers and a Congressional staff member,“ Hannah Andrews said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. "Although our office receives threats like these regularly, today’s message was particularly disheartening following this morning’s tragic events.”
“The level of discourse in politics today is truly unfortunate. Our nation was founded on the principle of free speech, and it’s vitally important that we have a robust debate on the issues. However, protections under the first amendment do not extend to violence,” Andrews added.
X x x X
This type of incivility is why I have become alienated so often from the politics process.. why this website, though often reporting news of the day, doesn’t much speak about the political discord that is taking place ..
But today’s shooting is necessary to know about.
We are constantly a hair trigger away from insanity and, as the summer heat begins to rage, it’s my hope and prayer that we will have cooler heads prevail as the dog days of the year begin..
Peace. Calm. Love.
We need to just live our lives on this amazing blue ball spinning into infinity somewhere in the vast reaches of space and time. We are always running out of time. So don’t ruin the space we have.

HEATHER WADE ROCKS MIDNIGHT: Ultra Top Secret: Assessment of Situation / Statement on Position on UFOs
Last night before the daily broadcast of MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT began, Art Bell posted a Facebook message that breaking news could occur on the program.. Host Heather Wade followed up with a ‘brace for it’ message.
When the intro music finally ended, Wade waded deep into the Men In Black danger zone: Revealed though her radio broadcast and now on the Midnight in the Desert page (http://ift.tt/2sqCSRZ) are secret documents said to be given to Wade by a trusted source..
Stanton Friedman, an expert in the UFO community who goes back decades in research, told Art Bell that the documents now downloadable are all new pieces of information.. and even more, that they prove government knowledge of different types of extra-terrestrial beings. Even that we truly did recover bodies..
Bombshell stuff if it proves true.
And speaking of that.. the MIDNIGHT page still has a caveat to the breaking news that the documents are still being studied. But at this time, the semi-conclusion states, there is no evidence that forgery has taken place and his far the documents appear to be authentic..
I also plan on reading through the documents and gaining more of an idea of what the say.. More on that as it develops.
But for now, at this time, Heather Wade deserves the credit that the MIDNIGHT IN THE DESERT page she should be given.. the desert rocked in the midnight hour.
Note to Heather: Watch for MIBs for the foreseeable future.

Bieber dodges bottle during show
Biebs was forced to dodge the flying piece of debris, presumably on anger over him not performing a song?
Responding to calls for him to play Despacito, Bieber told the crowd: ‘I can’t do that [song] specifically. I don’t know the words… I can’t do it.’
One fan took Bieber’s refusal rather personally, however, and threw a bottle which nearly struck the star square on the head…

The Dennis Rodman effect
Then he arrived..
Then this news alert..
Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN)Otto Warmbier, an American college student jailed in North Korea, has been released, according to his parents.
"He is being medivacked to the US. The brutalization and terrorism the North Koreans have put upon Otto and the Warmbier family have ended. Thank God," they told CNN.
Warmbier was detained in January 2016 at the airport in Pyongyang on his way home from a visit to the reclusive country.

The Babadook: how the horror movie monster became a gay icon
It all started on Tumblr as somewhat of a tongue in cheek post.. it went from there to explode into a true thing.. people now using the horror film imagery as a celebration of LGBT..
In December 2016, a screenshot was posted to Tumblr showing The Babadook listed prominently among “LGBT Movies” on Netflix – more likely to be a doctored image indicative of the meme’s gaining momentum, than a categorisation error.
“The B in LGBT stands for Babadook,” another user responded.

Dennis Rodman back in Beijing ahead of rumored trip to North Korea
Hong Kong and Washington (CNN)NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman is expected to arrive in North Korea Tuesday, according to two officials in that country who spoke to CNN.
CNN spotted Rodman at Beijing International Airport, where he declined to answer questions. Rodman would be arriving in Pyongyang at a time of heightened tension between Washington and Pyongyang, which is currently detaining four Americans.
The fate of the world is in his hands.
I still think we’ll find out in a generation that he has been a CIA asset..
