Doesn't help that there are also two animated Titanic movies. The most infamous being "The Legend Of Titanic" which even has a sequel.

There were actually 3 animated Titanic movies.... You can hate me later if you end up watching these.

And the best one/most historically accurate one (in the sense that the ship sinks and people die) is the one featuring this scene

It's also the only one to end with the line "Happily ever after."

New Star Wars Anthology trilogy by Rian Johnson just announced. Vague description of "an unexplored era of the Star Wars galaxy" is making me suspect Old Republic.

I'd freaking love an Old Republic trilogy, but I think they said an unexplored corner of the galaxy and not era of the galaxy. I mean, either way, this is wonderful news!

I know Disney is stating their service is going to be cheaper than Netflix but knowing their price increases for park tickets...I'm calling that only for the first few months.

$6-8??
If they were really smart, they’d offer a full year at a discounted price like FilmStruck does.

Oh, I’ve seen this ENTIRE movie. It is quite an experience for anyone looking to spend a little over an hour agape at the fact that humans made this, and someone let them distribute it to the world.

Yeah, every one of the regular commenters... But Iger was sure he could raise the price to cable providers to compensate... NOT! The market said to Bob

Former Walt Disney Imagineer and themed entertainment designer (IoA’s Spider Man and the upcoming Cirque du Soleil theme park) Gary Goddard has been accused of sexual assault by actor Anthony Edwards. Gary also raped his friend. They were both teenagers at the time of these incidents.

Bob Weis, as the head of WDI, what are you going to do about themed entertainment’s tolerance of rapists?

Yes Mom, There is Something Wrong

When I was 14 years old, my mother opened the door for me to answer honestly about the rumors she had heard about Gary Goddard — who was my mentor, teacher and friend — being a pedophile. I denied it through tears of complete panic. To face that truth was not an option as my sense of self was completely enmeshed in my gang of five friends who were all led by this sick father figure. I met Goddard when I was 12, and he quickly became a dominant force in my life. He taught me about the value of acting, respect for friendship, and the importance of studying. Pedophiles prey on the weak. My father, who suffered from undiagnosed PTSD from WWII, was not emotionally available. Everyone has the need to bond, and I was no exception. My vulnerability was exploited. I was molested by Goddard, my best friend was raped by him — and this went on for years. The group of us, the gang, stayed quiet.
Why? One of the most tragic effects of sexual abuse in children is that the victims often feel deeply responsible — as if it is somehow their fault. With their sick form of control, abusers exploit a child’s natural desire to bond. The victims are required to play by the abuser’s rules, or else they are “out” — banished from the only world they know. Abusers are successful when they keep control of that little world — a world that is based on fear. The use of fear to control and manipulate can be both obvious and subtle. Abusers will often use the word “love” to define their horrific actions, which constitutes a total betrayal of trust. The resulting damage to the emotional development of a child is deep and unforgivable. Only after I was able to separate my experience, process it, and put it in its place could I accept this truth: My abuse may always be with me, but it does not own me. For far too many years, I held onto the idea that love was conditional — and so I would look for someone or something other than my higher self to define those conditions and requirements for me.
I have been so fortunate to have had access to therapy and fellow survivors. Shame can thrive easily when we are isolated, but it loses its power when people come together to share their common experiences. 22 years ago, I happened to run into Gary Goddard at an airport. I was able to express my outrage at what he had done. He swore to his remorse and said that he had gotten help. I felt a temporary sense of relief. I say temporary because when Goddard appeared in the press four years ago for alleged sexual abuse, my rage resurfaced. At 51 years old, I was directed by a group of loving friends to a therapist who specializes in this kind of abuse. By processing my anger in a safe place with a professional, I was finally able to have the conversation that I wish I could have had with my mom when I was 14.
I’ve learned a lot in these last four years. Most importantly, I’ve learned that I’m not alone. One in six men have an abusive sexual experience before they turn 18. Secrecy, shame and fear are the tools of abuse, and it is only by breaking the stigma of childhood sexual abuse that we can heal, change attitudes, and create safer environments for our children.
Right now, there are children and adults who want to talk. Right now, there are people who have witnessed this kind of abuse but don’t know how to help. Right now, there are millions of victims who believe that the abuse they experienced was somehow their fault.
There are millions of children in our country who are one conversation away from being heard. Just as there are millions of adult men who are one step away from healing.
I did not go from being a victim to a survivor alone. No one does. I had to ask for help, and I am so grateful that I did.

Goddard left WDW before Bob was in charge, so, what are you talking about?

Spirit hinted at others being amongst the ranks of WDI not just Goddard before.

And if spirit had actual knowledge of crimes being commited hinting about them on the internet is not the best course of action.

Unless the victims came forward or you hard physical proof/first hand knowledge, there's not much you could do.

Then you probably shouldn't post speculation of such a serious nature.
