Peak Disneyland? Probably opening night of Remember Dreams Come True fireworks during the 50th Anniversary celebration (2005).

That's how much Star Wars films have earned since 1977, not how much the Lucasfilm division is worth today. It's not even the net earnings, it's the gross. That's the equivalent of saying Sears is worth eleventy billion dollars right now because its paper catalog sold a ton of merchandise in 1936.

An asset is only worth what someone would be willing to pay for it. There is nobody on the planet who would pay $60+ billion for Star Wars right now.

We could do what we did in the Reedy Creek thread and just ban everyone who knows what they are talking about from posting here. Then there wouldn't be an disagreement.

Why? First of all you can't. Stereotypes are just recognized patterns in groups of people. They have always existed; they exist now; and they will always exist. They may change, but they will always exist in some form. But if even if you could eliminate them, why would we "need" to do so...

Just the opposite ... generally, when a woman in a film or tv show behaves like a traditional male character, it comes off as inauthentic to the detriment of the film. You believe Wanda wasn't showing a "feminine" side in WandaVision? She literally spent every episode emulating the...

It was great. But I didn't associate it with a Hallmark Christmas film at all. The animated parts were clearly a takeoff on the Rankin/Bass Christmas cartoons from the 1960s and 70s. And the live action portions on Earth reminded me of the film Elf. And obviously, the whole thing was...

Nerdy men are icky. She wanted a whole new non-nerdy men fanbase. So she hired a bunch of people that wanted the same thing and set out on a quest to destroy the things in Star Wars that nerdy men liked best. Priority #1 was wrecking Luke Skywalker's story.

That's not how I would have described it.

Black Widow didn't feel like a Lifetime movie. The Hawkeye TV show didn't feel like something you'd see on the Hallmark channel (despite being a Christmas show). WandaVision didn't either. It's not the genitals of the main characters that made The Marvels a bad film.

They understood what it was. They just hired people who hated what it was and wanted it changed (for the better good). And since those people were equal parts incompetent and delusional, what was produced turned off the original fans that made the original trilogy the mega-franchise that it...

What Lifetime movie features a petty decades-old disagreement between two family members based on a total misunderstanding ... that is only cleared up after the two are able to see things from the other's perspective ... leading to a full reconciliation at the conclusion? What Hallmark movie...

I watched it for the first time last night, too. It is not a good film. It felt like if Marvel intentionally made a Lifetime movie. There's a reason why Lifetime movies are on Lifetime (and have no budget) and Marvel films are shown in theaters (and have explosive budgets).

Super Star Television and the Monster Sound Show

Looks like Disney got tired of destroying its other billion dollar franchises (Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones) and has moved on to the next one. They should just burn the money every night in a ceremony in Adventureland; it would be faster.

When I was like 25 years old, I once dumped a girl because she didn't like the Country Bear Jamboree. My family (like most posters here) made frequent visits to WDW when I was a kid and probably my two favorite attractions were the Tiki Room and CBJ. So this girl I'm dating tells me she's...

The original RDCT fireworks were the best tribute to the parks that Disney has every created.

It's more of a natural disaster / thriller type movie. Think Twister or The Perfect Storm crossed with Crimson Tide or The Hunt for Red October.

Well, when a "land" has only has two attractions, the lines are bound to be long.

But Iger will take Chinese money (and edit his films for the Chinese censors). Playing nice with dictatorships is perfectly fine; no liability there.
