Yeah, no kidding. Blame Eisner. I am about halfway through DisneyWar right now and the things that guy did to satisfy his own ego and consolidate his power base, even at the expense of the fiscal health of the company, are just astounding. He was even willing to ruin lifelong friendships over...

Where is the Zombie thread picture when you need it?

FWIW, I thought it was pretty good. Don't get all the negative reviews, and I really liked the songs. Does it have the same gravitas as the book? Of course not. But let's face it, in today's world, if you get too preachy about the environment, a certain political faction will slam you, so...

I agree that as a movie Tangled is probably a little bit better, but I do not think the songs are. "I have a dream" is catchy, but very short, "Mother Knows Best" is gawdawful (as is the whole villian character herself, IMHO), "I see the light" is good but made truly amazing by the fantastic...

I agree in principle on the Randy Newman bit. But I thought he did a fantastic job with PatF. We just watched it again last night, and I really like the songs a lot. I think it's because New Orleans jazz is really in his wheelhouse, having grown up in New Orleans. And I think that on a whole the...

Agree 100%, especially regarding how cool a Friends on the other side with blacklights would be. Also, regarding my previous post and PatF music... it is telling to me that almost 2 years after its release, "Dig a Little Deeper" is still pretty heavily played on the Sirius/XMs KidsPlace Live...

And if you look very carfefully, you can almost make out the Delta Air lines symbol on the card at the end of the lanyard, and I *swear* the pocket on the food services uniform has a McD's golden arches on it!

Right... that's exactly true. See since America's predominantly a service economy this makes absolute sense. Now all we need is different colors for the costumes, the alphas get grey, the betas get red, the gammas get green, the deltas get khaki and the epsilons get black. :)

You know that really bums me out. Not only did Princess and the Frog show that Disney can still do top-notch hand-drawn animation, but it was an excellent story, had great music and a wonderful setting. My wife and I were very much impressed by the film and it certainly fits the something for...

See, you're not thinking like TDO management here. You're thinking logically. TDO sees attractions as revenue drains more or less. Sure, if they're a big hit they have increased merch sales and maybe bring more people to the gate and probably if done right return a higher investment on...

And do they chase you out of said chaise lounges in the Chase Lounge, if you've been lounging around too long? :) Or if you're deliquent on your payments for your Disney (R) VISA (R) card?

Wow! Juicy info, Rudolf! :) So what would the "second E ticket" have been? Or is Soarin' 2.0 the second E ticket? I can't believe TDO's thinking on this. At first, it's "Hey we need someone to help us counteract Potter. Mr. Cameron, we'll give you $500 mil and you go and give us...

As long as "Fortuosity" is still part of the loop I'm happy. Long live the Sherman brothers! Although, I remember when I first heard the song on the WDW CD and thought, hmm that sounds an awful lot like "One Little Spark." Many of the same chords and rhythms.

QFT. Agree 100%. As they say, revenge is a dish best eaten cold. And with Comcast acquiring NBCUni instead, with some of its ex-Disney employees as noted above, the desire to beat the mouse at its own game is just even greater. Although, I think it stupid to hold a grudge against TWDC for the...

I have the feeling that many would feel the same way about Walt today. I remember on my last trip to WDW in Feb, *just* missing the closing of the doors on CoP. While I was bummed that it would be a whole 20 minutes or so just to get on ( I don't think they were operating all of the theaters)...

Hmmm... interesting. Maybe for a site visit to figure out how to fix the parks? One can only hope!

My comment is kind of OT, but yes, this is true. As we say in science, "absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence."

And that alone is why I thought the project was doomed from the start. Disney should have known better than to try for UNI rejects. The whole thing was just to get some Disney press with the WWoHP opening. "See, look we're doing something too!" without having to spend serious coin to get...
