Slay, Wanda - she absolutely carried the movie IMO. I get why people are saying that (re. undoing Wanda’s arc), but at least there was an in-universe explanation via the corrupting power of the Darkhold. Worked for me, and from that point on she totally owned. I can’t wait to see more of her.

Just got out of Dr. Strange, and one of the highlights was hearing Taika's voice in the Lightyear trailer. Can't wait!

As far as stocks go, the last company I worked at (tech-adjacent eComm brand that IPO’d in the fall) is down 67% YTD. Disney’s 21% dip looks meager in comparison. From that standpoint, I’d like to think no effect; Disney is resilient enough to weather current external factors and prove why it’s...

Nope, I've checked. Not junk, not trash, nothing. (Edit: realized you were talking about the confirmation, not the initial notification) In any case, for the amount these tickets cost, it's unacceptable they can't get the email list right, especially when they've otherwise subscribed me to...

I was awake before 6am and would have considered booking some nights in Orlando for this (West Coaster). But with other priorities this morning and no email notification, now I don’t have to. Woohoo! 🙌

I think Encanto is great, and the soundtrack has grown on me the more I listen to it, much like Hamilton. This seems like an odd way to shoehorn it into the parks, but I'll hold onto hope they're working on bigger and better things. Namely, Epcot should get a Colombia pavilion. For starters...

I miss Lindsay too - it’s all extra ridiculous because Honest Trailers made the exact same comparison and didn’t receive any backlash. Glad to see she’s still making video content, I had no idea.

I’ve experienced Tron and really enjoyed it - music aside, I’d take it over MK’s Space Mountain any day. A little more excited for Guardians, which is shaping up to be a hit (even MB at DCA punches well above its weight), but both will be extremely fun additions.

One less ride to bother with when I go in May! 🙌

Yep - in any case, my world history class did teach us about other religions, through a lens of the societies they formed in and their commonalities + differences. It would have been pretty weird not to learn any of that due to the selective whim of an atheist (or Christian) parent. I’m Jewish...

Best Animated Picture is great (congrats Encanto!), but no EGOT for Lin this year. Fingers crossed he gets it one day. That's what they get for not putting "Bruno" forward – especially after making the same mistake with Frozen 2 and "Show Yourself."

Maybe I don’t scrutinize enough, but I find both cases understandable. For starters, the dad didn’t seem particularly involved or controlling, and he offered support without judgment during the moment Mei needed it most. He was also unafraid of marrying into a family with a long line of...

Posted this in the Disneyland Miscellaneous Thoughts thread, but wanted to add here: watched Turning Red the day it dropped and really enjoyed it. As far as the movie's 'limiting demographic' goes, I'm a white guy in my late 20s and found plenty to relate to. One complaint I've seen from...

Agreed - I'm a white guy in my late 20s and found plenty to relate to. Also, I last visited Toronto 20 years ago (around the time Turning Red was set!) and don't particularly remember the city. That didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the movie. One complaint I've seen from several reviewers...

Finally, if they do add Encanto (which I’ve thought made sense all along — would just prefer it doesn’t displace Coco), I hope they do a song fusion/medley of some sort. Bruno feels like a sure thing for commercial reasons (deservedly so), but Colombia, Mi Encanto would fit a nighttime...

Circling back to say Harmonious is…growing on me. Is it as emotionally impactful as RoE? No. Are the barges hideous at most times of day? Yes. But the concept is fitting enough, and there are some gems within the segments. For me personally: Awakening is a strong opening. The lyrics land...

The inside of Tokyo’s TSH looks better than expected, but I’ll never understand why they chose the exterior route they did. It looks like Azkaban designed for pre-schoolers - I’d be terrified of never escaping. As for the PPH, have never stepped foot in that building and hope I never have to.

Had the same thought - could be a consequence for desecrating sacred Polynesian land. ;)
