I'm not saying I don't believe them, but...well...I don't believe them.

Or, at the very least, Warner Bros. movies will TECHNICALLY be theatrical, but not on enough screens or for long enough to mean anything.

Also, what about physical media?
Tweet from DiscussingFilm reading: "Netflix’s CEOs have reiterated that they intend to keep Warner Bros movies in theaters “Theatrical is an important part of [the Warner Bros.] business and legacy, and we don’t want to change what makes Warner Bros. so valuable… If this deal had happened 2 years ago, hits like ‘Minecraft’ and ‘Superman’ would still have premiered on the big screen as they did — and that’s how we plan to keep it”". The tweet has two images; the one on the left is the Netflix and Warner Bros. logos next to each other, the one on the right is a promotional photo from Superman (2025).

I have questions.

I have a lot of questions.

Most of which are variations on "so, wait, was Caine setting this up for THIS long?" and "Why?"

Screencap from episode 3 of The Amazing Digital Circus. Jax has his arms raised over his head. Abel watches from the distance. Same screencap as previous, cropped to focus on Abel.

Hold on, did Caine seriously make "I get BSOD'd" an integral part of the adventure?

Feels like, uh, kind of a risk...

John Cena will star in a 'BOSE HEADPHONES' movie for Universal.

Sylvester Stallone will write, direct, and star in an 'ELMER'S GLUE' movie for Paramount.

Jerry Seinfeld will write, direct, and star in a 'POP-TARTS' movie for Netf--oh, wait, that one's real.
A tweet from DiscussingFilm which reads "Vin Diesel will star in & write a live-action ‘ROCK 'EM SOCK 'EM ROBOTS’ movie for Mattel Diesel says the film will “examine the role of competition in a world often measured by strength & dominance that dares to reveal the power of compassion at its core.” (Source: Deadline)" Accompanyting the text are a promotional photo of Vin Diesel from one of the Fast & the furious movies and a picture of the Rock 'Em Sock' Em Robots.

Oh, THAT'S why she's named Pomni.

#TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC
Jax says "I don't even remember her name, honestly." Pomni stares in in horror. Jax says, "And probably forget about you." Pomni says "Okay."

I was watching a reaction video to the Pilot (like you do) and, uh, what's going on here?

Okay, on Twitter I've seen three tweets, translated from Japanese, about Mamoru Hosoda's new movie, and in all three cases, Twitter's auto-translate function has substituted a different director's name in place of Hododa's.

What is going on?
"【Breaking News】"Counting the speakers in the theater is more fun" Harsh criticism of director Makoto Shinkai's latest film "The Endless Scarlet," famous for "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," is trending on SNS It's being trashed as having only visual beauty. Conversely, now I'm curious lol" "Endless Scarlet is seriously bad S E R I O U S L Y B A D It's not about Isao Takahata's talent drying up or anything like that; as a story, as a movie, it's gone and done every single thing you're not supposed to do. I don't feel any intent to entertain the audience at all. It's bad, it's over, it's truly insane" "That message—call it a dream, a prayer, or just rambling—gets delivered straight-up, without a hint of embarrassment. I don't hate that kind of straightforwardness. For reference, my takes on Hayao Miyazaki's past works are: 『The Girl Who Leapt Through Time』 Flawless—a fresh, masterful youth film. 『Summer Wars』 Reviews rave, but it left me meh. If you don't know hanafuda rules, good luck following what's going on. 『Wolf Children Ame and Yuki』 Eh, not bad. 『The Boy and the Beast』 No clue what it was even trying to do. That's when my heart checked out of Hosoda films. 『Mirai』『Belle』 Unseen So in my book, *The Girl Who Leapt Through Time* is miles ahead, and shockingly, *The Endless Scarlet* comes in second!"

No, it didn't.
The TVTropes Trivia page for the U2 album Songs of Innocence - "Creator Killer: While U2's concert tours remain successful, this album marked a turning point in their careers thanks to its Surprise Release backfiring badly, with none of their subsequent albums having anything close to the blockbuster success they enjoyed in the past."

Jax-Pomni is holding the Ribbit plush in the right hand, thesame way Pomni-Jax is holding the gun, to foreshadow that Jax will somehow weaponize Ribbit's memory.

Jax tells Pomni "I do not care about you." Continuing his sentence from the previous screencap, Jax says "...or anyone else in this circus in the slightest!"

This also seem like it might prove significant later.

(I mean that in a plot sense, but now that I think of it, I wonder if maybe it's a stand-in for Disney buying so many other entertainment companies).

Saw one of those "AI is going to revolutionize everything" tweets, this one hyping an AI-generated sitcom, and I was so distracted by the fact that the pizza is on top of the box that I completely didn't notice that this plate just disappears when he sets the pizza box down on top of it.
AI generated sitcom character, holding a pizza box with the pizza sitting on top of the outside, is about to lay the pizza box down on a table, directly on top of a plate with a yellow thing on it. A red arrow points out the plate, which the character holding the pizza box doesn't apepar to notice.

So, Jax is 22, he's only been a adult for four years - you guys it's possible he's been the Circus that entire time? If not longer?

Him never having had to be a fuctioning member of society might explain a thing or two.

While we're on the subject, did anybody notice the model of the Tent next to the monitor on the desk here?

Fun but meaningless Easter Egg, or actually plot relevant?
