HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE was a cartoon that premiered in 1983. The Dolph Lundgren movie arrived just as that fandom was dying, in 1987.
Say that show was aimed at boys 5-10. That means the YOUNGEST audience this teaser intro is speaking to is FORTY-FIVE this year.

Netflix wasn’t kidding about upping its investment in licensed material. More shows coming in February:
Night Court (the reboot)
Search Party
What I Like About You
Suburgatory
Stargate SG-1
The Hunting Party
Lots of licensed flicks coming too, not just the stuff dropping on the 1st either.

Vantage Point, baby!
A very good idea, if you are making a cheap movie of dubious artistic intent, is to shamelessly rip off Kurosawa. If you do this, and also throw in David Carradine and a four-breasted murder dancer, you might get something as entertaining as THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS.

For anyone who doesn't live in California, I can assure you that this fantasy is not only bullshit, but quite literally, a geographic impossibility.
Trump: "They didn't allow the water to come down from the Pacific Northwest. They routed the water into the Pacific Ocean. So we had no water there. No, he had -- I would say open up the water. Open it up to the governor, the mayor. They wouldn't do it. They wanted to protect a tiny little fish."

“AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE! My client lied about her age. She was only 17 when she got married, which makes her a minor. And, in the great state of California, no minor can enter into any legal contract without parental consent including prenuptial agreements.
