    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    ^ Correct. I came across it a couple years ago from an Imagineer's personal web portfolio... can't remember his name or site, though. There is/was a remarkable amount of 'never-before-published' WDI art put out on the web on similar such online portfolios of non-famous ex-Disney designers...

    Part of a concept for a Land-wide renovation of FL around the time Pooh was being planned:

    EPCOT No more cobblestone in France Pavilion?

    It's not just the area by the removed trees. The winding street leading to les halles is having the "cobblestone" removed in favor of smooth concrete. There have been photo reports on other WDW sites. I just assumed it's one of the now-standard Charm Diminishments that WDW frequently...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    I've tried to explain to you how there are characters. Now try to explain to me how there aren't.

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    Further to my argument: as much as I was invested in the R1 characters themselves, their struggles and story in its own right, the fact that it is all there just to tee up the Magna Carta makes it that much better. Star Wars Ep IV is the metaphoric giant upon whose shoulders Rogue One sits -...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    Explain to me how it doesn't, and I'll correct you. I had complete investment in the characters. The script wasn't dumbed down (a rarity in SW) and all the actors, from extras to leads performed very naturally and very well. The background/motivation dialogue may not have been overly...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    Story, visuals, script, characters, emotional impact, excitement. I enjoy watching it more than any other SW film.

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    MCU has been a great achievement but has had much lower hurdles to clear in order to satisfy fans. One noticable one is humor. Humor is one of the great assets of MCU in that they've enjoyed a present-day, RDJ snark, this-is-still-fun tone from the beginning to the end. Pulling off humor in a...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    I agree that Casting was - for me - among of the biggest misteps. And the worst casting was Adam Driver. Everything about his performance as Rylo Ken irked me: his voice, demeanor, posture, delivery. I had never seen him before these movies and, to me, he is a charisma vacuum. And he didn't...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    What was the name of the Rise of Skywalker track when Lando and The Resistors' fleet arrived during the finale? First time those famous fluttering (don't know the musical term) violins were heard outside of credits sequences and it was awesome... The piece sounded like the bit at 2:15 above

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    I also like Solo. For me it ranks #5 overall after Rogue One and the Originals (though the Woke droid was the weakest-point, for me). Goes to show how people come to this series from different places. I thought the Sabaac scenes were brilliant - what Star Wars should be. Lando and Han...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    This is an example of something that with thought and better writing could have been pretty cool. They handled it pretty ham-fistedly, like virtually every aspect of this trilogy.

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    Saw it. My gut reaction is not positive - about the same as the other two in this trilogy. Theatre was 85% full at a 7:30pm showing which seemed light to me. Audience seemed to respond to it pretty well, though. Only time I felt any Feeling was when good guy fleet arrival and that owed a...

    News Disney Riviera Resort announced

    What one likes or dislikes is particular to themselves... but in light of the art of Architecture (Traditional architecture, not what passes for it today), this building is terrible or, more objectively, on par with any piece of hotel architecture you'd find from Shenzen to New Jersey to I-4...

    When will Indy & PotC get Disney+ spinoffs?

    Indy is most certainly not Dead. It's an iconic & timeless media franchise, currently in hibernation, though stories involving globe-trotting, treasure hunts for Antiquities remain consistently popular (e.g. Uncharted), and Indy is king of this genre. Anecdotally, Indy still gets the biggest...
