I actually thought "John Carter" was fantastic and enjoyed it more that SW VII...not even close. I'd have felt the same about "The Lone Ranger" if they'd have given the characters the respect that they gave the ones in 'Carter'. Playing them as goofs irked the hell out of me. At times it felt...

I get what you are saying, to a point. But, consider that if anyone at TWDC 'messed' with SW and made it in the style of Walt or for argument's sake...Lasseter or anyone, they'd be pilloried. It would be financial suicide to do that. Was VII a pretty close remodeling of IV? I sure thought so...

I guess my point is that the product is there but largely ignored. Is it marketed as much/as well? There's a legit gripe there...another example "Their Finest Hours". It wasn't bad at all...based on a great/true story and in theaters for a week, maybe two. No one even knew about it.

Sort of true, but simplified, on Banks. Tomorrowland wasn't based on a ride or a land at all. The park and a ride were shown in it but they were totally ancillary to the film as shown. OK...so is anything original in your opinion?

My two cents worth: Put yourself in "The Wayback Machine". You are Walt Disney, it is the 1930's and 1940's and 1950's and you are developing ideas for animated and live-action feature films, even theme park attractions and TV shows . Where can you acquire (ooooh....horrible word) familiar...

AK- Flights of Wonder EPCOT- American Adventure DHS (or whatever it's called)- One Man's Dream MK-Country Bears... "Mama don't whip little Buford. Mama don't pound on his head. Mama don't whip little Buford. I think you should shoot him instead. " That' there's poetry right there.

I think that's the nature of these kind of sites (and much of social media in general). Reasonable people, enthusiastic or not, eventually get tired of arguing with strangers and trolls and give up. What remains are the extremes both pro and con. The anonymity of the internet discussion groups...

Personally, yeah, I agree that SOME things aren't...busted Yeti is an obvious example. The hardest part to get across to many folks on the boards is that "good" does not equate with favorite and "bad" does not necessarily mean "new". A prime example is the rumored redo of TGMR in The...

A few main reasons for the 'moods': 1) Most folks don't like change. Think about it....when your favorite TV show loses a character and adds a replacement one, your fave band or performer changes their music direction or puts out a 'new' sounding album... "They suck now!". The same principle...

I'd pay for a Rock 'em Sock 'em fistfight VeePee contest between Aaron Burr and Joe Biden. Real men, real fightin'. A good challenge for Garner Holt to build in an AA duo.

I'm just making an assumption here...there's a correlation between a person's NASCAR interest and their love of Test Track. For me...NASCAR is a long series of left? turns and folks waiting for tragedy to occur. TT is a "fix" for NASCAR fans while at WDW and an opportunity to yell "WOOOOO".

Pretty sure that the protocol for a character going into the water is that Ariel goes in to help first. Makes sense.

Wow, what a weird thread...debates over real (but really not) riverboats vs. not real (but cartoon) riverboats on one hand and stuff about toe/kick plates and OSHA regs, all in one magnificent thread. And they say that Disney is going in the crapper....I think NOT!!!!

Very do-able. Enjoy.

The only way to stop a bad gun toting creep with a gun is with a good gun toting creep with a gun. Or something like that. 'Murica!

This has been asked a bunch but I love answering it....'Test Track' for anyone over 16. Wow..sit in a convertible with the top down, drive a little bit fast, corner quick, brake hard, get hot, get cold...yawn... Close second. 'Toy Story Midway Mania'- Sit and play a video game....yawn...

Whydaya think he's 'Dopey"?

Ya know what would be cool? Julie Andrews as 'the bird lady' and Richard VanDike as Bert...just older. How would Julie play Poppins if Emily Blunt is ....ah...whatever. Still pretty excited about this.

Mini counter-rant I know this is a WDW website but when you decide to dis the company you really need to look at the whole company. Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney are still the gold standard in family travel, both at sea and of the 'guided' variety. So, quality is, and can still be...
