DiCaprio was nominated for an Academy Award three years before Titanic

Yep. What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

I think Bob C. is a much bigger parks fan than Bob I., in terms of actually an enjoying an attraction here and there as a guest.

It may be hard for some to believe, but he is the first Disney CEO who grew up going to WDW.

Theme parks were not part of Eisner or Iger’s upbringing.

Then Bob Chapek must be some kind (person who kills things they love) - since the filter on here won't let me use the proper word for some reason...

I think a lot of that has to do with Disney+. They need the money from the parks to prop up Disney+ til it comes profitable.

And CMs (I don't want to sound like a right wing crackpot) are showing their uniqueness in ways I find distracting and distressing (and off-stage and in real life I'd be completely supporting them ... but, no, I don't want to see dudes with black nail polish and nose rings on MSUSA). The Disney Look was once considered a great thing and a model for other corporations.

I felt bad for Chapek when people got on his case for saying that adults want to watch grown up shows after the kids went to bed. Every other streamer is expected to have content for kids and adults. Chapek had this huge money pit of a streaming service that needed more subscribers and he was stuck with kids to "all ages" franchise stuff or he risked the brand. Iger is more smooth but he has the same fundamental problem.

For some audiences that may mean no hints of anything controversial to a genuinely socially conservative mind (no homosexuality, no interracial relationships) but in general it means no sex, no violence.

I think you are partly right. I think it is not so much about none of something, more about not constantly having it thrown in your and your kids faces. I have no problem with what other people do, and would protect their right to do it. I do not want anyone banging on my door all day to preach religion at me either. Does not mean I am not religious.

Who ya got next in the pool?

I think it’s a biggie (around here at least)

…you don’t say? It’s not like he’s gone underground and nobody has mentioned him yet…

Anyone know his realtor?

At least in Florida he seems very popular with the cast members.

The cast members know nothing. I had some detailed conversations during the pandemic to feel them out

First, they seem to not grasp the P&R head is beholden 100% to the ceo…in this case that was chapek. It’s their largest revenue source. They’re not “half in”

Second, they see a guy posting selfies on Instagram and Facebook with the serfs and think that matters at all…which it never will.

The deal is/was they hated chapek and needed a saviour so they picked tight pants. It there’s no divergence. Never was

Apparently, Chapek was cooking the books at Disney. No wonder he got ousted!:

Is he in federal custody? That’s a serious crime

Bob Chapek isn't going to jail for doing some creative accounting. If everyone who did that went to jail, Hollywood would be one big prison.

 

[tanc]

if Iger brings back magical express the planets would have aligned. Really kinda doubt it will ever happen but one can only hope.

I don’t know about him. He came up during Iger’s time too. P&R are profitable and not the problem right now (at least on the balance sheets). Everyone given the heave ho (so far) were decidedly fully Bob C. people.

I think Bouza’s more likely. She is a 100% Bob C person.

Is there a way they can fire Chapek again?

 

[tanc]

Any possibility that Chapek is banned from the parks?
