A Spirited Perfect Ten

[Cesar R M]

I would agree with them. If you're going to see this movie, do so in IMAX.

wishing there were IMAX theaters in my town :/

We'll have to compare notes but We had similar experiences, it seems.

I was there the week of the 11th. And add me to the chorus that fundamental changes need to happen with Disney Transportation. Guests are not sardines or cattle. And the drivers shouldnt be driving the way they do with guests standing on the busses. Only a matter of time before someone flies out during a sudden stop.

I watched the movie in Cinemark XD (2D - I am not a fan of wearing 3D glasses for more than 10 minutes) which was fantastic...I want to find a theater that has D-Box and give that a try

Movie Theater experiences sure have changed over the last 10 years -- hell 5 years

In a world where bubble guns are banned, I can't fathom how bus standing is still allowed

Sort of like one of Hill's friends and contemporaries, Paul F. Anderson. His Persistence of Vision magazine was incredible. However, many of us ponied up bucks for issues that were never published and/or delivered. And similar to the situation with Hill, no apology or refund, let alone an explanation, was ever offered.

Actually, this has more to do with the dissolving of the good ol' boys club in Glendale than anything else. Most of his sources have either passed away (especially his primary source) or retired. WDI is nothing like its former glory days when well-established Imagineers became Disney celebrities, thanks to fan boy conventions and events. And when dealing with folks like Hill, many of those celebrity Imagineers leaked more than a rusty colander.

Ditto for other Disney fan sites and the sentiments of long term posters. Hill has been an equal opportunity antagonist for several years.

Which still makes me wonder what quid pro quo was in effect for him to score that solitary endorsement on the Disney Shorts DVD cover. What did Hill promise to do for Disney in return for that honor? Must have been something substantial, given Hill ain't exactly Leonard Maltin.

Enough.

Move on.

I don't say this enough, but I love you (in a non-weird way).

This site serves the strangest ads to me. First lots of Disney realted stuff, then golf clubs, then gay cruises and now Verizon FiOS ads in Japanese.

It still amazes me that most people have no idea how to ride a bus... Wait... No it doesn't

But things like sharing bus spots, 10+minutes to load two scooters, etc has to change.

I'm not judging or trying to imply anything, but website with ads have algorithms that gear specific ads to individual users based on their web browsing and web searching history.

So any time over the last 6 months or so if you looked at golf clubs, read a golf article, went to a golf course website, looked at golf related photos, did a google search related to golf, or any other golf related possibilities then you will very likely get golf ads at this site and various other sites. As for the gay cruise -- it doesn't mean you looked up a gay cruise. You could have read an article about a gay actor or checked the imdb page for brokeback mountain and it might set an algo off.

The unofficial motto of transportation is "we're paid by the hour, not by the trip"..... And that came from someone who works there.

oh and there is some MAJOR a-hles out there. I was just perusing twitter and i come across people just blabbering out spoilers -- intentionally -- for chits and giggles. They would reply to a news feed about some world event or whatever with a spoiler; so even if you were trying to stay away from any Star Wars talk you would be unsuspectingly smacked with a spoiler where you should not expect to see a star wars comment.

In my case I was looking at a tweet from Wall Street Journal, a financial news tidbit, and I look at the comments and there was a darn star wars spoiler blasted by someone. unbelievable.

What the F is wrong with people?

That is just immature beyond words.

You mean like you who posted Star Wars spoilers in General Discussion six months ago while drunk?

That was fan speculation at best if I remember correctly.

I'm talking about people who have seen the movie already this weekend, and are talking about it aloud, or posting on Tweeter political/news articles, etc.

 

[Hakunamatata]

I knew I would not be able to see the movie until after Christmas. I had zero expectation of making it until then spoiler free.

I didn't expect there to be so many jerks out there. I really don't get what these people think they are accomplishing. Is their life that pathetic?

 

[tokengator]

Any more pathetic than a life so impacted by a movie?

Who "life" was impacted by a movie? Does this concept of art/entertainment and enjoying said entertainment escape you? The writer/director intended for the story to be told a specific way and bring out a desired affect or emotion -- people are trying to rob others of that. It lessens the value, or intended value, of the scene and perhaps even the movie for some people.

Your defense of this is rather baffling -- or perhaps not.

No defense. It was a question which I deleted because I felt it would be taken the wrong way.

While we're on the subject of movies, I'm thinking about having Round 2 of Star Wars on Monday, but this time in IMAX.
