Or, it's a valid criticism of not the CM, but of the management team that allows him to do that thing. What's his purpose? There's two equally bored merchandise kiosk CM's standing a few feet away from him. Why would you staff a ride operator to lurk behind the corner of a closed gift shop...

President Biden pardoned his last two turkeys yesterday; Peach and Blossom from his home state of Delaware! Cute! 🤣 I love that tradition. I'll have to Google it to find out which President started it, but it's hilarious. One of my favorite things Disneyland has done was back in the 2000's...

Who the heck said that?! I loved MuppetVision (in the early 1990's). I watched the original Muppet Show religiously during the Disco Era. The Swedish Chef has been a recurring punchline in my family of Swedes for decades. A clone of MuppetVision was one of the few good things to come out of...

That would be cute if that was what he was actually doing. Instead, he was hiding in the corner, wearing sunglasses in the shade, and avoiding any contact with others. He's not performing any role. He's hiding behind the corner, trying to avoid contact, and taking a little mental nap. Probably...

So, you are saying that when a gift shop closes for refurbishment, or is under construction, they staff an extra CM to stand there in the uniform of a nearby attraction (instead of the shop uniform they normally wear) to tell people "Sorry, folks, this gift shop is closed today. The moose out...

Read that paragraph again, but this time substitute "MuppetVision" for "Sounds Dangerous". Or even for "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Play It!" You get the same result. But only at WDW with East Coast audiences. In Anaheim, things are very different. Or at least, they were. 🧐

It's because it has sat in that theme park for decades, and since it's a theme park that is woefully short of actual rides and fresh, new shows, it seems like a big deal in comparison. When you've got a 35 year old theme park that has less than a dozen rides, and has hokey little theaters...

Because it's Disneyland, and it always had very high standards for aesthetics and showmanship and storytelling. This roller coaster circa 1955 does almost exactly the same thing that Matterhorn Bobsleds circa 1959 did. One roller coaster doesn't give two craps what it looks like or how it...

As a reminder, here's the inflation adjusted box office for some of the previous Princess live action remakes of the past decade. Snow White had a reported production budget of $270 Million back in 2023, before it got sent back for a year's worth of rewrites and reworking after the last PR mess...

First thoughts: The scenes with real people look good. But then the CGI dwarves show up and it looks... off. I'm not sure of the plot. It seems they changed it too much from the source material, but maybe they're just trying too hard to make the trailer look new and interesting. Yeah, that...

For the record, I just had to Google what the word prevaricate meant. I'd disagree with that claim, as it's much too late in the evening for all that work. :)

Go back and read the posts from yesterday. I was trying to be helpful to others here by linking to the 30 second video I saw on my phone while eating lunch earlier. It's a funny video, just Rachel being Rachel. It's late. I've had my nightcap. I'm happy as a clam and things in life are going...

No one is raging at anything. It's funny. It's Rachel Zegler being Rachel Zegler, as only she can. She's good at it, you have to give her that. Winged Victory at the Louvre! It was rather hilarious. It was worth a 10 second chuckle and eye roll, nothing more. And Twitter has already moved on...

I try to be polite and kind, but also truthful. I'm not going to pretend or lie about my personal opinions. You don't do that, do you? I don't get the feeling you do. But then, I'm here for free. Disney doesn't pay me anything. I'm a comfortably retired man, so I can say and do whatever I want...

Aw, crap. I just Googled. Helen Reddy passed away four years ago. :( She was great overall, and that song she sang on the lighthouse in Pete's Dragon was wonderful!

Because many of us have higher standards for Disney. Or at least, what Disney used to be. Can you imagine Helen Reddy going on Johnny Carson in 1977 to publicize Pete's Dragon and she turns to Johnny and says "You know, John, I hope all the people who voted for Gerald Ford never know peace in...

Let's post it again, because it's really funny and it's late at night and I'm ready to giggle. 😁 You guys, she's just like the Winged Victory statue at the Louvre! People will line up to see her work for the rest of time!

Most of social media is not news. It is inhabited by a lot of news folks, especially on Twitter. But Tik Tok and Instagram and whatever else? That's not a news outlet, with real editors and institutional standards and an AP Style Book and such. Equating funny videos of narcissistic actresses...

You know, looking back on it, Disney always had a sort of certain charm in the 70's and early 80's with its notable C List celebrities they'd get to appear in TV specials like this. And with the odd exception of Elton John, that is definitely a C List. But somehow, when it's actually happening...

Have you ever been on social media in the past 10 years? That's all it is. Bait videos of wacky road rage incidents and crazed Karens freaking out at the Apple store genius bar. It serves its purpose though, to make one chuckle. And Miss Zegler has yet to disappoint on that. 🤣
