So Taylor Swift got married, Adam Sandler officiated (yes, really, no one knows why either), and you could buy 'wedding memorabilia' off a New York street artist - including a used ovulation test - for $25. We live in a society. Then there's the Xbox stuff, which is a lot. Like, a LOT. Thousands of jobs gone, Double Fine just... set free, id Software's programmers shown the door (great for the legendary game engine people, obviously), and Obsidian pulled off Avowed 2 to go make Fallout instead. The good news: this is what everyone wanted since New Vegas. The bad news: it's happening because Microsoft bought literally everything and then panicked. Sony's having a bad fortnight too. No disc drive on PS6, and they're nuking 551 movies from people's PlayStation libraries because the licenses ran out. You know, movies people paid for. Bought. Owned. Allegedly. Armie Hammer took a role in Uwe Boll's new film without reading the full script, then rang his publicist crying after he saw it. He did say he'd do the sequel for 'life-changing money,' which is a very reasonable position. Mindhunter is dead forever and Fincher hates that you keep asking. Ludwig got renewed for season 3 before season 2 is even out, which - watch Ludwig. And Supergirl bombed harder than Blue Beetle, which is impressive given that nobody remembered Blue Beetle existed. <ul><li><a href="https://variety.com/2026/film/global/armie-hammer-citizen-vigilante-worldwide-distribution-1236799025/">Armie Hammer’s ‘Citizen Vigilante’ Secures Worldwide Distribution Following Dramatic Elon Musk Intervention (EXCLUSIVE)</a></li><li><a href="https://thetab.com/filmshrine/2026/07/07/armie-hammer-in-tears-first-time-he-saw-the-hateful-citizen-vigilante-uwe-boll/">Armie Hammer was 'in tears' the first time he saw the 'hateful' Citizen Vigilante in full</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/05/travis-kelce-cried-taylor-swift-wedding-vows/">Taytay got married</a></li><li><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/taylor-swift-fans-pay-25-210245224.html">Taylor Swift fans pay $25 for garbage from outside wedding</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-ending-playstation-discs-physical-media-january-2028">Sony will no longer produce discs for PlayStation games starting in January 2028, citing "consumer preferences" as the reason why | Eurogamer.net</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/they-now-wait-for-this-storm-to-pass-ps5-owners-are-cancelling-playstation-plus-subscriptions-to-protest-sony-killing-discs-but-analysts-say-it-wont-make-any-difference">People are cancelling PS Plus over the disc situation</a></li><li><a href="https://kotaku.com/game-pass-is-reportedly-back-down-to-30-million-subscribers-2000712971">Game Pass Reportedly Down To 30 Million Subscribers After Churn</a></li><li><a href="https://kotaku.com/xbox-lays-off-thousands-entertain-more-billion-people-daily-2000712897">Xbox Wants To 'Entertain More Than A Billion People' Daily</a></li><li><a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/06/resetting-xbox/">Resetting XBOX - XBOX Wire</a></li><li><a href="https://kotaku.com/the-cuts-at-doom-maker-id-software-go-shockingly-deep-i-dont-see-how-they-make-a-game-with-that-team-2000713860">Doom Studio's Future Unclear After Xbox Bloodbath At id Software</a></li><li><a href="https://www.verge.com/games/963024/microsoft-xbox-reset-obsidian-fallout-layoffs">Obsidian working on new Fallout game?!?</a></li><li><a href="https://variety.com/2026/film/news/the-odyssey-first-reactions-christopher-nolan-1236802321">The Odyssey is getting rave reviews</a></li><li><a href="https://collider.com/blue-beetle-abandoned-superhero-movie-grossed-more-than-supergirl-box-office/">DC’s Latest Superhero Movie Crosses $100 Million, but There’s a Catch</a></li><li><a href="https://reclaimthenet
