I was disgusted reading this OC Register article, but sadly I was not surprised. Not surprised at all. This is no longer an entertainment company, with a crown jewel theme park, being run by showmen. The people running Disneyland specifically aren't even good hosts any more, much less good...

Happy Sunday Brunch, for those who celebrate! 🥂 First pass estimate of weekend box office is out. No big news, but Burbank has two in the top 5 still! https://www.the-numbers.com/weekend-box-office-chart

Yes, I'm aware of all that. I've lived on the West Coast for the majority of my (shockingly) long life. I remember winters in the 1970's and early 80's when the northern Cascades got almost no snow during La Ninx years, and the ski resorts East of Seattle all went bankrupt. La Ninx is supposed...

Yes, that's what the "experts" said about La Ninx a few months ago. But Mother Nature decided to flip the script on them. Somehow even when the media calls you an "expert", you can get it very wrong. Hell, even with the latest AI and all the satellites and supercomputers in the world, we still...

Isn't it beautiful!?! I have done the parks/locales of the SW and SE corners now, but I still need to get up to explore the area around Salt Lake City more and the mountains there. When I moved here I imagined I'd visit Salt Lake City regularly, if only for the Nordstrom's and the "big city"...

Mr. Good News here, with your Good News Report of the week! 😁 The good news is for Disneyland's horticulture team and all the trees and plants and landscaping across the Resort, plus any other fellow gardeners and amateur landscapers out there like me. The first weekly update of 2026 to the...

Imagine not being able to read in complete sentences.

Hiya, gang! Everyone recovered? I still have a hankering for Aunt Ingrid's glogg, but otherwise I'm back at it! Here's the 2025 Burbank Box Office Recap, using the Metric 🇨🇦 system where we take the production budget and multiply it by 2.5 to find the break even dollar figure, then subtract the...

Because this one won't be included in the 2025 Box Office Recap as it was released so late in the year and the majority of its box office will come in during 2026, I thought I should put this here. And I forgot how expensive these Avatar movies are! $400 Million a pop?!? What was that snack...

Greetings from an unusually rainy and wet San Diego. How was everyone's New Year's Eve party? 🥳🍾🕺 Did you kiss the guy/gal you had your eye on?!? Or was it your husband/wife? Either way, you won! At least for early '26. Here's a quick New Year's weekend box office update. Zootopia 2 and Blue...

Don't worry, I started that thought, it's just me. It's not really a thing, it's just a typed out thought from a random old fan on the Internet. 🤣 It may never happen. Or it easily might. But in my pea-sized brain, it would certainly make sense if it does happen. 🧐 Honestly, when both of...

Oops. That's my fault, I jinxed it. :banghead: A week or two ago I was here commenting on all the rain headed to SoCal for Christmas Eve and Day, but then I made the idiotic comment that the long term forecast for New Year's Day still looked sunny and dry for the parade. My deepest apologies...

A quick Mid-Holiday Box Office update, gang. But first, a Pop Quiz: Did you get your NYE outfit dropped off at the dry cleaners in time to pick it up by Tuesday?!? I did. If you failed this Pop Quiz, you still have time tomorrow morning first thing! :eek: Burbank had the number one and number...

Merry Christmas, gang! 🎅 🎄 As I'm just about to head to San Diego for a few weeks, I'll be putting the Global Command Center on auto-pilot. Because we've all got plenty of parties for hosting, marshmallows for roasting, etc., I'm sure things will be quiet around here any way. But I wish you all...

That's very sad and surprising, as he was tragically young to die so suddenly. :(
