2015 Shareholders Meeting: Game Thread

[arko]

We also learned Bob has a long lost cousin, too.

You must have missed the last guy who used his time to complain that Iger doesn't respond to his correspondence about being his cousin.

"If we squirt you with acetone I'm sure you'd dissolve" Shareholder speaking to Bob Iger

That's some serious crazy, I hope the local gendarmes took this person away for a psych eval, Acetone is one of the most hazardous solvents there is - look at it cross eyed and it catches fire.

 

[JoeCamel]

Stock up 3% on the back of the meeting. Guess Wall Street likes what they hear but I'm not sure it is good for the parks.

 

[Captain Neo]

My understanding is that if someone is seen smoking on film now it is already automatically an R.

There was no smoking in the agent carter show which kind of made me mad actually since it ruins the historical context of the show

As pretty much EVERYONE smoked in the 40's

Yeah, but it also dissolves plastic...

 

[Captain Neo]

How did he answer dream finder question

 

[asianway]

Good question regarding elimination of "Walt" before movies.

Hey that was my question I suggested in the spirited thread! No I wasn't there, or was I...

 

[chiefs11]

How did he answer dream finder question

I think he said they were surprised by the popularity of the comics but had no plans to do anything with it in the parks.

I think it's a Roger Rabbit reference. At the end of the movie, the villain (judge character?) was revealed to be a toon when acetone was spilled on him and he dissolved...

 

[asianway]

Dangit, how come all the kids are asking the best questions and the adults are asking about pin trading and AP discounts?

Mentally Ill arrested developmental adults

 

[peterpanic74]

How did he answer dream finder question

he didn't, other than to confirm that the comics were popular

 

[Phil12]

Sounds as if after the meeting Bob is going to sit down with several people and have a chat while providing a few autographs and a photo session. He's a regular guy.

 

[Phil12]

I thought the smoking question was very interesting. Bob pledged an anti-smoking stance for future films except for the purposes of depicting historical accuracy. He gave the example of Abraham Lincoln. He said that since Lincoln was a smoker that future films about Lincoln might require that he be shown as such.

Yet, when "Saving Mr. Banks" was made, Walt Disney was not shown as a chain smoker. So much for historical accuracy. It's just another example of TWDC continuing to polish Walt's image rather than showing him in a realistic fashion.

 

[HMF]

He already has a backstory. Disney can stuff it if they think they are going to be able to top the Rogue Squadron books and comics.

Thanks to Iger, Those aren't canon anymore, remember?

He still had a smoker's cough though.

This is literally the dumbest thing ever written on the Internet

1) Iger had nothing to do with making them not canon
2) making them non canon allows them to adapt characters and concepts from those stories without having to adhere to a strict limited existing continuity. Like marvel does with their films being loosely based off the comics.
3) a ton of stuff needed to be removed from the canon anyway

Iger wanted new movies. Lucasfilm figured that they could not keep the new movies consistent with the existing EU so indirectly yes Iger is responsible for killing the EU.

Come now, this is the internet we are talking about. There are an ungodly number of dumber things said on the Internet. I've read plenty of them on this here website!

I found that show boring. I watched the first 3 episodes and decided to stop.
