Anybody else see this? First time linking, hopefully it works.

Thank you! The SxSW attendees of 20-30 years ago would have asked the hard questions. You know, when pop-up parties weren’t sponsored by Doritos and most people had never heard of it. I was at an early morning presentation one year of ‘Fans, bands, and brands: how to expand your reach’ and the...

It looks wonderful, just beautifully shot. Cassian definitely seems to have evolved as a character. So excited for this!

This doesn’t work for everyone. For instance, we bought 2-day park-hoppers last spring for a September trade show in Orlando, which was then cancelled because the distributor declared bankruptcy. I bought them through Disney instead of Undercover Tourist (how are their prices going to work with...

Andor, arguably their most critically-acclaimed series, was made by non-Star Wars fans, and 2/3 of the derided Star Wars sequel trilogy were made by a huge fan- JJ Abrams. Meanwhile, JJ had no interest in or love for Star Trek, but the general consensus is that he did a more successful job with...

17 1/2 isn’t that far off from starting to book your own vacations. I was 19, traveling with two 18 year-olds, when we paid for our first college Spring Break trip to WDW. Granted, it was February 2001, and the three of us paid $350 each, which included flights, hotel stay, and 3-day park...

Seriously. I live in downtown Charleston, SC, which is pretty much nothing but high-end shopping and food/bars since gentrification hit. In its heyday, Pleasure Island was a must-do every trip, but we’ve never been to Disney Springs. Since our stays are now only 2-2.5 days every other year or...

Wish I could be there. We have to plan our trips 2-3 months out, or I would have made it a priority!

The last sentence is begging for comments that would shut this thread down. 😛 I find no offense in Mackie’s statement, am tired of this kind of thing bogging down every film thread lately, and some people apparently live charmed lives, since they have so much time and effort available to become...

That's a shame. I really liked this one. It was sweet and fun and made my time on the stationary bike fly by.

For me, at least, it depresses me that so many of these types of animals are endangered/threatened and can’t live freely in the wild in their natural habitats because of human action. That’s sad. Petting zoos, on the other hand, are fine 😉

I’d say the Harry Potter movies were as close to certain hits as you can get, with the staggering popularity of the books. (At least since Rowling retained enough creative control to keep the studio from setting it in America as they had initially wanted…)

Since we’re bringing up Andor: Hi, I’m a casual Star Wars fan, circa 1980s. Liked the original 3 as a kid. Couldn’t watch the prequels- terrible. Hated the 2/3 of the sequel trilogy I watched; literally saw the second one with another casual watcher (both women) and we walked out in the casino...

I like terrible movies. I actually own a few MST screened movies because I actually enjoy them. The first adaptation was so bad, it circled around to nigh unwatchable. I’m not sure I could stomach another one, honestly, and I loved the games.

3 inches of sleet and snow in downtown Charleston, SC this AM. Wind chill was 11 this morning! Pretty much everything is closed.

You just identified EXACTLY what I like about these :D

He doesn’t at all, which is why it’s been so frustrating seeing the 2-dimensional character that’s been written for him in the films and series. Sebastian Stan is possibly the hottest man alive, so I watched Falcon and Winter Soldier twice trying to like it, but both characters were just so...

I kind of get it, though. As an older, middle-aged millennial, Zoomers and younger millennials have watched previous generations work hard only to be laid off due to no fault of their own (corporate mismanagement, mergers, downsizing older, more expensive workers, numerous recessions) all...

Google’s AI is embarrassingly bad. It’s labeled certain cold meds as safe for people with high BP when they’re not, and less seriously, interprets song lyrics literally or what pop culture thinks the song is about. In one case, I was present on the tour a top 10 hit was written during. People...

Yeah, and 5 calls to Amazon and 4 hours later, I got a refund for the items I didn’t buy. Seriously, I was the only one in there and I bought a bottle of water and a coke. How it managed to charge me over $50 is still beyond me. It also never emailed me the receipt I asked to receive. And yes...
